Mountain Mushroom Foraging- King Bolete!

- Rainy weather has had its perks in the form of an early mushroom crop and verdant undergrowth such as the Osha plant. Finding some of the largest edible mushrooms in the woods, but question is can you eat them?
What you have is what's commonly known as the pine bolete, the King of all mushrooms, here in Madrid in Spain the price on the market for kg was 40 euros, almost 50 dollars!, you can carefully rip them off the ground and cut away parts with mud in the spot, the most important thing if you want them to keep growing is to cover the whole again so the mycelium is protected.
Ye but you can’t sell it lol
You should clean them on site to let the spores fall off. Again, the other thing is that you should have a proper basket that have openings to let the spores fall, so to help the growth of new mushrooms.
I get my from an online store, they got shroom, psychedelic and microdosing products well refined, also ships to anywhere
He,s on Instagrams with the below handle
@@jameskim3915 quite idiotic!
Thanks
In Poland we are collecting mushrooms in winter :) For me most delicious are chanterelle! Especially with scramble eggs!
Sounds great!
This was an amazing summer for mushrooms. We found that Amanita Muscarias (Fly Agaric) grow near Porcinis as they love the same conditions. Where you see one, you'll find the other.
Good to know! That was my experience as well!
I found a huge flush of amanita muscaria, but the boletes that are near it are "slippery jacks." ( Suillus pungens)
Im in summit picking up my foraging permit at the ranger station today. Are there any mushrooms that look like the king bolete in the area I should be skeptical of?
Excellent! Pay attention to the color, if they are reddish, avoid! I saw some similar sized that were NOT bolete and the cap. was reddish.
Lucky duck!! Those are gorgeous.
Thanks- grabbed 5 more on today's walk.
Hi, if you have excess mushrooms that you can't eat fresh, then drying them really accentuates the flavour even more. You cut them up in slivers, dry them and freeze in a container or ziplock bag, they will last for years that way. When you want to use them, just add some boiling water to the dried mushrooms and they will re-constitute themselves with even more flavour than before to go into your pasta, risotto, soup or whichever dish you are preparing. Enjoy! 👍
Great idea!
I also grind some of my dried wild mushrooms into a powder and put a spoon of that in a soup or stew to add "umami."
We have land near Cripple Creek. This year there were mushrooms of all kinds all over. Some I recognized poisonous. I am hoping to get into a group next year to learn more about them and which are edible.
Nice! That sounds great.
Nice haul!
Thanks!
Fantastic!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amanita muscaria only grows in Europe and wester Alaska. What you saw was amanita chrysoblema a very close relative of the fly agaric.
thanks
Wow! They are huge even for King boletes. Some people consider them the best edible mushroom out there. Even for the buggy ones, people would pay $30 a pound
oh wow!! next year I'll try harder and try soaking in salt water to get the bugs out.
@@ColoradoMountainLiving you can also sundry or dehydrate them. the bugs are harmless either way
I do not recommend to sundry mushrooms with larvaes. Sundrying tooks time and larvae will eat all of you mushrooms😨
Nice mushrooms, pine bolete. When you are out there in the forest looking for them use knife cut them deep in the ground (this helps them grove again) and clean them on spot that way you not bringing all that dirt back home with you. You know you can cut them like that and put them in a freezer and eat them later also. You can make salad out of them as well. Use basket instead of bucket to help spread mycelium so that you can enjoy them again next year at that same spot. Enjoy!!
Thanks for the tips. I didn't know you could freeze them before you cook them. They sure taste good.
Here in austria it is common to just dry boletes if there are a few maggots inside.
They just crawl out while the mushroom dehydrates.
These are a few boletes we collect im austria:
Boletus reticulatus
Boletus edulis
Boletus pinophilus
Suillellus luridus
Neoboletus Erythropus
Leccinum versipelle
Imleria badia
How interesting! thanks for sharing.
Americans have weak stomachs. People used to just eat the maggots because they were hungry and didn't care at all.
I just saw a ton of these yeaterday wasn't sure if they were edible thanks for video
You're welcome. Just watch for the worms.
Thank you I could have sworn that that really was just hemlock. I'm glad you clarified that it was not hemlock. I'm from Washington and that straight up looks like hemlock hemlock I could have been easily fooled
Yes they are commonly confused. But the scent is distinguishable as well as the altitude at which it grows and where (always in an aspen grove).
I like that you are using an external mike. I wish more youtube channels would invest in one. Wind is a real challenge for a lot of channels. The built-in omnidirectional mikes do not pickup audio as well due to certain body positioning.
During my college years 73-77 on Monday the School cafeteria would have standard meat-chicken, pork, steak or hamburger. By Thursday we would end up with "mystery meat" and along with that would be some type of edible mushrooms.
When it's windy, you really need the wind reduction. funny story!
The first thing I thought of was that the osha looks a lot like poison hemlock. Poison hemlock has such a distinctive stem.
Yes they are commonly confused!
Don't know how true it is but I have read it is best to cut the stalk at the base so you minimise damage to the mycillum. Great video.
Good tip! thanks
Wow! Most of what I find have been visited by deer, mice, or worms.
There's definitely a lot this year.
Big mushrooms!👍👍👍😍
Yes!!
Boletus edulis, the best mushrooms!
Yes!!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving simply I didn't know about in USA grow in forest Boletus Edulis mushrooms. I'm from Ukraine Transcarpathia and here this mushrooms growing everywhere, I mean in forest. Here 90% of territory is mountain forest, so here lot of types of boletus mushrooms often are using in cooking.
You can eat amanita muscaria in small amounts for intoxication effects. Or after boiling it a certain way for a couple hours.
Have you tried it? I heard that "witches" did that back in the day, but I think there are other better choices for that effect without risking severe kidney damage.

I live near Breckenridge any recommendations on mushrooms and where to look?
Just walking in the woods, near pine trees, they will be obvious popping out of the ground. Check out my "accidental " mushroom hunt last week: ua-cam.com/video/kdt3R6ScUwM/v-deo.html

Nothing wrong with a little larval flavoring!
tastes great less filling
Here in northern Italy, those porcini mushrooms cost at least $ 30 for a kilogram!
Oh wow!
WOW.. 🍄
I know it!!
Super👍
Thanks!
Waouh ça c'est des champignons une bonne omelette un régal 🇨🇵🤗☺️ papy Gilbert de France bisous bisous
Delicious!
Thanks
No problem
We live in the mountains in Jefferson, Co . There are alot of mushrooms in our aspens.
Nice!
In France, we cook it with salted butter and garlic. Do you have girolles mushroom in america ?
Yummy! Not sure about girolles, unless they have another name.
I've been eating Morrells for 60 years, and I soak them in cold water with salt. It forces all the bugs out. Might try it.hate to see mushrooms 🍄 wasted.
👆👆👆4🍄🍄🍄
Thanks for the tip , will do!
Cool finds! I recommend cutting them off at the base instead of pulling out 🙂👍🏻 Discoloration on the underside of the cap can mean that the fungus is past prime for eating. You may opt for harvesting when younger and smaller and not as discolored. As far as insects go, many wild mushrooms have bugs when harvested. I soak mine in a salt water solution for a little while to get the bugs to come out, depending on the type of mushroom. Hope this is helpful!
I like the idea of harvesting the younger ones. Salt water is a great suggestion! thanks
Thats just wrong. Discoloration of the sponge just means that the spores begin to mature. Nothing more.
If the mushroom is still firm and smells good there is no real reason not to use it.
Boletes are the only mushrooms where people spread this misinformation.
Look for example at agaricus bisporus.
Young they are sold as button mushrooms and when they fully mature and the gills start to turn dark brown it is called portabello.
It just doesnt magically spoil after spore maturation.
Non the less, only firm and non spoiled mushrooms should be picked if you are sure that they are not poisonous.
Different schools of thought on cutting them vs pulling the whole mushroom out........i seem to believe the remove the whole thing argument, but each to his own.👍🍄
Seems the king and bicolor both like pine needles. We have 6 big Bicolors under our pine tree in our yard right now.
Interesting right?
Just dry the other ones with larva, instead of throwing them away.
That's a thought.
Try some Kinders master salt-sea salt,garlic,butter seasoning on those. Available at Walmart to my surprise. Josh at Stoney Ridge cooked up a brisket and was using Kinders last week so I googled it and there it was at Wally. Best seasoning I've used, grilled a rib eye the other night with it yummy !!!!
They sell it at Costco too. Delicious!!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving Made ribs this afternoon with their woodfired garlic. Man I'm glad I found this seasoninng !!!
I'm glad your using kunders, the family is really great and from my neck of the wooda
u are soooo cute! i love msuhroom forgaing.
Thanks!
Okay, if you and Bryan are around for a future video, I'll know you picked non-lethal mushrooms.... hey, just joking around here... thanks for the video...
LOL too funny!!
It is ironic that one type of fungus is health beneficial and I have some health problems related to other type of fungus-Candida skin problems. Was the teen you went missing in the Colorado Mountains near you all?
Don't think there's a relation between edible mushroom and fungal infections. Unfortunately, am not aware of the missign CO teen story. Dont' think it was near us.

Clean the mushrooms in the forest, please. Twist them, if possible, when taking out. Cover the hole after that. The nature will give it back to you, one day.
Thanks!
Moving to Colorado in a few months so excited ! Hopefully I’ll be looking for land to buy next year there if I like it !
Excellent!!
Going to pick some to take back to Iowa.
Nice!
Where are you in the CO Mountains?

sandra bullock ... and king bolete
hahahhahaa
One of the most prized mushrooms on the planet.
Yasss~ Newest video I find the most ever & cook 'em up: ua-cam.com/video/kdt3R6ScUwM/v-deo.html
Wow
yes!
Those are the biggest mushrooms I’ve ever seen. Your getting close to 20,000 subscribers good for you!
So close! Tasty too!
The sad thing is that when those mushrooms gets large, particurlarly then. They've a lot of worms in them.
Yep! true
remember there are worms, insects etc in lots of store bought food.
If you pull them out make sure to bress the dirt hole together so the mycel cant dry out or bacteria or animals can destroy the mycel
yes!
@@ColoradoMountainLiving have fun searching ❤️✌️
CLean the mushroom where you found it instantly so the spurs can spread!!!!!!
great tip
Hey from Sweden 🇸🇪.
hELLO!!
I learned from a forager that the proper harvesting technique is to carefully cut them at the base not pull.
thanks for sharing
Wrong. Wives tale.
It’s literally the fruiting body of the network of mycelium under the ground. It’s like saying you should cut an apple off the tree instead of just plucking it. There are published studies that show no difference if you pluck or cut.
BOLETUS EDULIS!!!
Yassss!!
U pick up mushroom are they safe to eat

this one is
pat pat at!!! the top to release more speores
Great tip!
no problem friend
6:10 Fly Agaric. You must first heat treat it. You will then be invited to strange places once consuming it.
oh wow! I saw a huge one a few days ago. Not that brave.
"The queen has hairy legs."
haha
I MISSED A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!!! NOO!!!!
hahhha
These are fruit worms so it is not an issue after you cook the mushroom!
Ah interesting, haven't gotten sick yet . Good to know.
When you cook all the lava death.. just dig it when you found it out on the surface don't give a chance to the bugs to create lava.. collect ASAP
that's the trick, harvest asap or let grow into a larger piece?
@@ColoradoMountainLiving harvest ASAP before bugs get chance..the smaller the better taste 😍
Boletus rubriceps
yes!
cover back the soil!
I did
Abra? Dont tell her what to do? AssHat!
People have been eating A. muscaria for thousands of years. I harvest and eat them every year. I save some for medicinal purposes, some for meditation, and if it's a bountiful year, simply eating them. Each function has a specific way to prepare. The phobia about them is unwarranted and been blown way out of proportion. If you eat them raw you will get cramps, the poops, and GI irritation. You know what else gives you that if you don't cook them? Potatoes, cassava, kidney and lima beans, and more.
Because they can be quite plentiful, you can harvest tens, even hundreds of pounds in one session. They require a bit of work - boiling and draining a number of times, but boiling and draining a few times for weeks or months of free food is a pretty darn good trade-off. Of course, there is nothing particularly special about their flavor, and they are far more useful as topicals, tinctures, teas, micro-dosing, and of course, macrodosing.
thanks for the info
Hello
hi
King Bolek? King "Bolete" with a 'T', not 'K'. King Bleek? King Boleek???? BoleTe
Noted- see title.
Yum!!! I'm wondering...can you soak the mushrooms in salt water like you would cauliflower or broccoli to get the bugs and worms to float to the surface? I have no idea 🤷🏼♀️ Those were some beauties though 👍
On a completely different subject. You are stunning with no makeup 😁 You are with makeup, too but I like the no makeup look ❤️
Oh....and yeah...I changed my name back to normal 😂
That is a really great idea about soaking them. I wonder if they will get soggy because they are mushrooms, will have to try and find out. Thanks for the compliments.
That sounds like a very good idea to skip eating anything crawling around the mushrooms unless you're into Entomophagy. EDIT: If I found one larva, I'd skip the whole bunch, but that's just me. And now I'm going to throw out all the mushrooms I have in my refrigerator... thanks... Just kidding around here... hahahaha...
At least with the worms, you know they aren't the poisonous kind.
then just don't eat anything good, because store bought food (if it hasn't been poisoned with sprays) also has bug matter
BROO YOU WASTED SOO MUCH OF THE MUSHROOM hhahahahhaha wtfffffff clean them in the woods !!!!! and close the hole the mushroom left otherwise every mushroom mycel will dry out
got it
Why not smash the poisonous mushrooms out of existence?
huh? just because they are poisonous to me doesn't mean they aren't beneficial to the ecosystem.
Wth lol.. bit psyco😳
@@wormwood6424 If i have harmful mushrooms on my property i will destroy them :)
I dont see how that makes me a psycho.
@@danielji2742 why..who's going to eat them lol?
Smashing the fruit does no good, the mushroom lives in the soil silly
