  • What mushrooms are growing wild in the middle of summer? Aaron Hilliard of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, creator of Mushroom Wonderland, and mycology educator takes us into the forest in western Washington State to discover some of the mushrooms that can be found, and a few of them are good forgeable edibles like the Golden Chanterelle, The Lobster Mushroom, and the Charcoal Burner.
    Wild mushrooms aren't very prevalent in the summer, as lack of moisture puts most fungi into a state of dormancy, but not all of them. The ecto-mycorrhizal mushrooms can still get some water from the roots of trees and find a way to fruit in the summer, and Aaron helps to show the habitat and what these mushrooms look like in the wild. Mush-love!!

    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.

      Not saying you have to try all mushrooms that are said to be edible, but to just leave behind that charcoal burner is crazy in my mind. Even to just give it a sample. Shrimp russulas are my new favorite. Anything with a chance of having that good of a texture I would give a shot if it's a known edible. Lol, I find new favorites when I find new edible mushrooms sometimes. My last new favorite was the honey mushroom.
      I must admit I am a mushroom hunter because I enjoy finding new edible varieties. Rarely do I take risks though. I do a lot of research when I find new varieties, and I recommend others do the same.
      I feel compelled to say that "risk" is a relative term here. I would never eat a mushroom if there were any chance it was toxic. I'm really only referring to known edibles that cause gastric upset in certain individuals.

    Bruce Cockburn composed and recorded a lovely guitar instrumental titled "FoxGlove"; I saw him play it on TV when my little sister was watching Sesame Street. (Sesame Street was pretty hip for the time, they had Stevie Wonder, Los Lobos, and others play on the show!)

    Great vids! Still be weary of ticks I live south of you by Mt St Helens we get in to ticks around here some areas are worse than others. One of our dogs got Lyme disease two years ago as well which is extremely rare around here too. But it happens.

      I live in Southern New England only about an hour away from Ground Zero for Lyme disease. Some years there are so s many ticks that we find them on ourselves and on the dogs after walking the trails during a February thaw! This year there've been relatively few ticks and we've gone as long as a week or two without seeing one. Still, we are in a state of constant vigilance!

      @@cjmutschler It depends on what region you're in, out east of the Rockies and down in California they associate with oak often, but we really don't have wild oak here in Western Washington very commonly, so they definitely associate with Conifer up here. Usually a different species than the oak associated ones.
