Matsutake, fiddlehead, etc. BC is truly foragers haven. I just wish we revere foraging the same way as it is revered in Japan and South Korea.
Everyone up north near terrace BC covers the holes back up. It does matter if you want to see regrowth in a few days ... especially
Great to meet you, my husband and I are looking to retire by buying some land that’s good wild forest. Thank you for your tips, we will be keeping the trees on the land if we can find land that still has trees!
Hello from Olympia, Washington, Pacific Northwest. I harvest mushrooms every fall for personal use but I have never gathered these before. Season’s pretty much done, but I’m looking forward to identifying and harvesting some of these next year!
Pines regrow in the same spot. That 'sand' you're referring to is called podzol. Its required for pines and hosts mycelium. You should ALWAYS cover your holes young man. You're ruining next years crop when the frost comes
I always admire the people who make their living in nature and foraging mushroom is one of. Because they protect the forest and preserve the nature for the future generations
So sad to see these beautiful forests are being destroyed not to mention the wildlife that live in the forest ❤️
When I was a kid living on Vancouver Island, I used to in the mountains to find them. Used to keep some for supper, and sell the best to be shipped out. I miss those days
This is wonderful! thanks for sharing
That sandy soil is actually mostly ash from lava flows.... on all matsutake theres a bit of ash on the butt of the stem when you pick it...Also you will find saprophytic plants in the spring such as candy cane asparagus or candy stick (Allotrapa virgata) where the matsutake grow in the fall....When i find candy cane asparagus its almost a sure bet there will be motts in the area...And they seem to like to grow in the lime green moss instead of the darker green moss usually .... I also find them in all mixed conifer trees with no pines .....HAPPY HUNTING .......
Right on Brian. I've been meaning to do a video with Scott for years.
Sweet, thanks for the info!
Logging in BC is being done at a totally unsustainable rate and i have seen so many mushroom patches totally destroyed . The mushroom industry will be gone when the old growth is gone . People have to make a stand and say lets look at this maybe from a perspective of getting more out of the lands than destroying them for a one time harvest . Actually i am now seeing them harvest 25 to 30 year old trees so the second growth is being wiped out too. It is a shame as a lot of the patches they log , they hardly get any logs out of it anyhow. A lot of it is left there to burn . Crazy. and these areas in the 100 years it take to really grow decent sized logs back could have produced 30 or 40 times the cash crop and the logs are still there growing in an intact ecosystem .
Damn, hiking around in gum boots all day? thats hardcore. I would be so done after a day of picking in that footwear.
That looks like so much fun, with good & happy people! What a great day you all had!!! Fantastic!
Thanks! Great info.
Way to go Brian establishing the beauty.
Mostly known as the pine mushroom, consumed by the Japanese people in a traditional way since the early times. Its unique perfume and flavor: spicy but not peppery. Its aphrodisiac reputation linked to its phallus morphology before maturity makes it a much sought after mushroom.
Thank you for sharing with us. I have been dreaming of your type of work, but am forced to work in the "world". I dread every morning when I have to get up and "commute"... Soon.
Great pick dear
