- In this video me and a few of the pros head out into the woods looking for hedgehog mushrooms, or basically just scouting new areas to forage for wild mushrooms.
Drew Ryan, Adam DeLeo, Tim Hartman and myself head out into the forest on the Eastern Hood canal of Western Washington in search of fungal delights in a beautiful coniferous forest.
Drew Ryan is a well-known mycology educator, he deals with medicinal mushrooms in the industry, and it's an all-around nature lover and mushroom guru. Adam DeLeo runs his own mushroom company, supplying the larger Pierce county area with gourmet mushrooms to the restaurants and farmers markets. And his operations manager Tim who does most of the mushroom deliveries comes along with us to discover what's growing in the woods of mushroom Wonderland! This is a fun episode you won't want to miss.

We will not accept any responsibility for negligence or accidental ingestion of poisonous mushrooms or plants. These videos are not intended to be a definitive field guide, but rather a starting point to become familiar with habitat, Everyone is encouraged to do their own studies, acquire literature or internet resources to safely and confidently identify wild foods before they eat them. When eating a new wild mushroom, it is advised to start with only a small amount, and make sure that it is fresh and that it is cooked thoroughly. Some mushrooms do not agree with certain individuals, and this is typically discovered on a case-by-case basis. Even the most edible of mushrooms contain compounds that can be tough for the human digestive tract to handle. Some “edible” species have small amounts of certain toxins that will easily break down with cooking. Fungi contains a molecule known as chitin that is the same thing that makes the exoskeleton of shellfish so hard, and cannot be broken down by the human digestive system, so it is another good reason to thoroughly cook mushrooms. All the ideas expressed in the comments should be taken with a large grain of salt. I don’t think there is any other field of study or science that has more misinformation being shared so freely and boldly. Mushroom Wonderland and Aaron himself have no opinion and neither encourage nor discourage the use of mushrooms containing mind-altering compounds. These mushrooms contain powerful chemicals and should be treated with a high level of responsibility. Any video topics on the habitat, natural distribution, and morphological features of psychoactive mushrooms portrayed on this channel are purely for scientific and educational purposes.

left-handed handshakes all around...a great group to hang with for a few minutes, thanks!
Haha, It seemed that way but the camera flipped the image, they were right-handed. Didn't that look awkward! 😅🍄😜
I'm buzzin buddy 🌈great show
Fantastic video as usual Aaron! Thank you for providing captivating and insightful content. Drew is an awesome character, please make more videos with him if possible!!!
Sweet. I forage for local chefs but I know them personally since I used to work in the industry (cooked for a high end restaurant and also ran a hospital kitchen for 10+ years). Watching from Northeastern Ontario 🇨🇦
What a Day. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Full of tips of the trade! I had no idea that turkey tails needed to steep for so long! And the lobster cooking tips were great!
Great work -40 today in Alberta Canada ☮️🏴☠️🇨🇦
Another great video! I like Drew's laid back attitude and approach to foraging
Definitely enjoyed the video; and I have a tip to offer anyone who picks with a reusable shopping bag such as Adam was using. That is, simply cut a piece of thin plywood (1/4" nominal thickness or less) or paneling material (I used some walnut paneling left over from a project undertaken sometime about four decades ago) -- one could even use a piece of really thick corrugated cardboard -- to fit snugly into the bottom dimensions of the bag. You'll end up with a container that is still significantly lighter than the typical woven basket, much lighter than a five-gallon bucket and it will lie closer upon the picker's hip when bushwhacking. Although it will no longer fit into a pocket, the bag will easily lie flat under a vehicle seat.
Great tip. I usually keep a folded up brown paper bag at the bottom of my grocery bag for my mushroom picking excursions. 👍
@@outdoorloser4340 Good thing about brown paper or cardboard is that it will absorb some excess moisture if the mushrooms are not totally saturated. Moreover, it is easy to replace and can be composted easily. If one is picking saprophytic fungi there is a chance that the spores on the paper will develop a mycelial network in the compost pile. Any paper that I use for making spore prints either goes into the compost or into mixed conifer woods directly behind the house. Even though it appears to be a long-shot, I keep hoping the mycorrhizal species will find the habitat inviting!
Great info from Drew about the Trametes versicolor!
Outstanding!
I have been watching your channel from the beginning. .... best awkward intro ev3r!!! :) keep up the vids! Love your channel!
Yeah I like when you take out a few friends Ya killed me when you said. I used to put a few blue ringers in my hat ! Down here in Louisiana we hit the cow pastures fill up the big paper grocery bags. I called them purple rings. Back in the 70s
Fun reason to get outdoors in nature🥰
Love this. Thanks.
Thank you.
It took me a long time to find a good area for the belly-button variety of Hedgehogs. The strange thing about them is how localized they are. The forest in that area was very uniform in the type of trees growing there as well as the terrain, but the Hedgehogs grew in dense patches and most of the woods didn't have any at all. Unfortunately the best patch was logged about 5 years ago.
Its another good day with MW
Yes... Beautiful. Again... I wish I was out there with ya. Looks like fun. I'm a little late getting my winter supply on.
You are one of the best... KEEP UP the GOOD WORK....
enjoyed immensely : )
I met drew in longbeach this year!
A whole team of Fungi pros. Let's go! 😊❤
I've never seen a turkey tails under that shape ❤ I normally find fan shaped ones. Turkey tails is supposed to have health benefits in fighting cancer
Thanks for sharing this day out!
🙏❤️🌲
Enjoyed that forage , thanks all
I ....we...have found a fair few acres of black Chanterelles here in the UK alongside hedgehogs, splendid.
Just wanted to say thank you for your knowledge and channel. I don't get to go mushroom foraging much in Texas and seeing all the wonderful species on your channel gets close enough to the real thing...😁
Poggers guests ❤
I'm not sure what that means but I think it's good!
@@mushroomwonderland1lol! Ask your girls, but yes, it’s very good 😊
I put my wetter chanterelles in a paper bag and they usually keep just fine
Love this content! Another great episode of Mushroom Wonderland!
I always love watching your intro ❤
Nice haul for January! Keep up the happy foraging adventures,thanks for all the knowledge. Power in numbers😄✌️
I found a beautiful patch of black trumpets this year on my property. I see them almost every year, I didn't know they were so elusive
Man I got super into mushrooms for a while. Grew a bunch and that was fun and interesting, I got a few different mushrooms that grow around my house now. At first I just put down a mixed wood chip bed, first it grew a few inky caps, a couple deer mushrooms then cyanescens , I moved those to a different spot and man, this year that patch put up about 500 or so fruits. But I got lions man in a log pile, Turkey tails on another, I put down morel slurry in a bunch of different spots and last spring I got a few really nice ones, all of em growing off old poster board pieces I put down cause it holds a lot of water. Got wine caps I don’t know what the big ones under the rhododendron were but they were the biggest I seen at my place Wuite a few more but forgot what my point was
Me thinks those cyanescens might have something to do with the memory lapse 🤣! But hey, I suppose it is challenging to stay on point while tripping through the cosmos!
@@willong1000it’s just fun to watch em grow, every year the patch grows and put out more. Had ares of sold canopy mushrooms The first year in that spot it had seven. I think I’m low balling saying 500, the first flush probably had that many Its a nice sized area They pop up all around here though. I never put down any spores. They grew on their own at first. I have helped a bit. Just about every spot that gets good shade has wood chips
Here in Southern New England, I would have to tuckk my pants legs into my socks and wear some kind of fully enclosed body suit and spray the heck out of myself with bug repellent before venturing that far off trail, or I would be absolutely covered with Lyme- disease carrying deer ticks.
Oh yikes! Yes, were lucky in the Pacific Northwest of the US, ticks are extremely rare here!
@@mushroomwonderland1 , I have walked trails where every hundred feet or so there'd be a dozen ticks on me and a dozen on each of the dogs. Tiny little buggers, each a potential carrier for any one of a half-dozen diseases, including but not limited to: anaplasmosis, babesiosis, erlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and of course Lyme disease. One county just a little south of me has Longhorn ticks that spread the Alpha Gal allergy to red meat.
@@goodun2974 As Aaron noted, ticks are rarely a problem in western Washington State. That, and the complete absence of venomous snakes in the wild here are among other benefits. Sadly, a preponderance of Liberal voters counterpoise the regional attractiveness to the point that I have been striving to move to Montana for several decades. I've acquired the land, and am close to moving now. While I might miss the Fall mushroom species, morels and wild game animals offer ample compensation.
Last year I was selling chanterelles for $20 per lb to restaurants. Cleaner than anything I've ever seen in store but damn $5-$8 per lb is low
Many years ago while I was hunting around Raymond WA. I went for a walk looking for deer, and doing a little climbing I slid over the wet fern, very mudy soil, and somehow I ended up with a clump bettwen my fingers, a bit bigger than a golf ball, looked interesting, but also crossed my mind that probably was an animal dropping. I mashed it between my fingers, it wasn't animal stuff, but had an interesting smell, until the next day, it didn't occur to me that I had a truffle on my hand.. SOB!!
S. O. a B! Did you eat it anyhow?
@@willong1000Unfortunately no, if I had known it was a truffle, I would have shaved servings so thin that could have last me until now. Lol
@@DanielGomez-jk6bv Ah, too bad Daniel. I wondered once if a small globular organism that I found while screening soil for a garden plot was also a truffle. I had no clue what the aroma or taste of a truffle might be, so the item joined the compost pile. I console myself with the thought that I might not even care for truffles! I finally foraged a good batch of Matsutake mushrooms this year--I was not impressed!
Costco was selling old Chantrells for 16.00. I was so wtf.
Seems cheap for a store!
Come visit us here at Curley creek canyon. We have a patch of black trumpet mushrooms and cats tounge that glows in the dark
Really? I would LOVE to see and photograph local black trumpets! Please contact me, I know we've spoken but I lost track of your contact. ahilliardmedia@gmail.com
I'm on the other side of Puget Sound. I like being out in the woods. There seem to be more mushrooms this year than I have ever seen before. I don't think it's just because I'm more aware of them though that may be part of it. In your experience has this been a banner year?
It really has! We will talk about this year in the future!
Great video! I noticed that you kept saying that Black trumpets don't really grow much in WA. I live in southwest Washington, and have found Black Trumpets in the woods near my house, on multiple occasions near some doug fir. I'm not really sure why they wouldn't grow up north, we have roughly the same forest composition depending where you go.
Yes southern Washington is known to have them! I know a lot of foragers and I've been in the woods for many many years, I've just never came across any and I don't know anybody who really has.. a couple of old timers in the mushroom Club claimed to have found some in the Puget sound basin but I've never seen it with my own eyes.
@@mushroomwonderland1 Years ago friend showed me a patch of Black Trumpets in a local state park. It wasn't very big but there were enough of them to get a nice treat. They were growing under a large evergreen huckleberry bush near the salt water.
Willing to disclose the GENERAL area? How far east lol.
Tho amathing
Why are you taking the roots , leave roots alone?
🔥ALEX JONES WAS RIGHT🔥 WAKE UP AMERICANS!! ITS TIME TO BE AN AMERICAN!!! WHERES THE MAGIC?!
Get Outta Here with political talk!!! Nobody comes here for that sh#%.
@@DJ-yz1oy Though it is unfortunate, one can't escape politics these days.
