I love knowing I'm not the only one who loves nature and what it gives us. I love learning more about what grows around me for medicine and just for eating. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
I really enjoy these videos. Your very knowledgeable and have a great personality. I really liked the black mushroom, and you were right about it looking like something from a evil Disney movie. I’m not a fan of the background music when your talking, but I will still watch, and keep them coming!
Can’t thank you enough for those super useful videos. I’m in MillCreek and just got a dog and was really curious about mushrooms I saw out there. Your channel couldn’t be more of what I’m looking for. I just watched this while doing dishes and about to go get lost in my neighborhood woods. Again, thank you and hopefully see you out there!
Awesome thank you, I’m from Northern California Bodega Bay, CA… my favorite thing is to go mushroom hunting over at salt point State Park so good for the mind body and soul. I look forward to your next video thank you so much Triniti
Hey Aaron, your content is on spot and a huge help to us trying to figure out the mushroom world. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I think I have a good idea for a winter video. It would be an inside job. Take us through your reference library. Tell us rookies what books and references you have used along your way, in becoming such an educational person in the fungi world. Your knowledge has been a huge reference for myself, and many others. Thanks again, and keep up the great content. 100,000 subs is not far away.
That is definitely in the works! Right now I still have quite a bit of fresh fungi footage but I've started doing some book reviews so stay tuned for that video in the future! Thanks for your input and for watching! 🍄🙌
I don't think one can really forage for mushrooms here (Ontario, Canada) this late in the winter ... but it's nice to keep getting your videos ... even those "boring" caps would be welcome around here !
I've stayed pretty current for the area up until now, but I'm going to have to start diving into the stash of videos that I shot over the autumn. We just got about another foot of snow, so I'm going to put an end to a lot of these mushrooms. But I have a lot of footage so if you're interested in still learning about mushroom stay tuned for the next videos!
Since I live in Central Texas, I really enjoy seeing all the flora along with the mushrooms in your videos! We have large Oaks, but no conifers. I love plants too, and all those different plants in the forrest interest me too. So don't worry, there's lots of interesting things in your videos! Quick Question: Are there any mushrooms that maybe like to grow near certain plants? Not the saphrotic mushrooms that feed off the trees, but more like companion planting, with actual plants?
Thanks for another great video Aaron! I'm living the foraging outings vicariously through them right now, lol. Learning much from them too! Love your dog!
Thanks for continuing to make videos! I haven’t been getting out and hunting for mushrooms since the beginning on December so your videos help satiate my hiking and foraging craving!
I grew up in CA my whole life until moving to Western WA in January of last year, and then it took my 2 year old putting a Galerina in his mouth (and thankfully immediately spitting it out) for me to start learning about and loving fungi! I'm so glad I found your channel, especially since your content happens right in my neck of the woods!
I'll hapily support you by writing comments Ok So you are handsome, smart, original resorceful human You upload quality content that is packed with information inspiration and its made with love No presure but we all want to see your videos more frequently (: we all love your adventures and voice Thank you
Thank you for showing us around your 🍄 neighborhood. I'm in the most upper north west of OR exploring. So often we newbies get the advice of find and experienced forager to show you around but for whatever reason that's not easy to do, so I am really appreciative of our online age of having those of you who like to "show us around" mushroom land.
I appreciate the identification of the plants and trees near these mushrooms. I am getting comfortable identifying the more easily identified mushrooms like Cat's Tongue but I haven't learned enough to know where to look. This will help in the search as well as in the positive identification for me. Thanks from Willamette Valley, Oregon
I live in Maine but I watch hunters all over the country and sometimes the world. I would love to hunt the PNW before I die. I know Acadia NP in Maine is close to the PNW though, or so they say.
Thank you for this timely and local info! I was just on a hike yesterday and I saw the Cat's tongue mushroom... didn't know what it was at the time. I thought maybe it was a non-gelatinous mushroom that had turned to jelly with the snow...but now I know!
I love your videos, knowledge sharing and the zen you bring, capturing your walks and nature forays. I am a fan, and share your videos with new mycology fans. recycle restore replenish these are my e r's
I love mushroom hunting, and just found your channel and already love it too I just wish you used better quality camera as even on max resolution it still looks mushy and like it was recorded long time ago on some cheap phone. I know that at winter in northern climate its just more difficult to get good quality video with phones and cheaper cameras as everything is gray and looks like crap but just imagine showing all these mushrooms and woods in all their glory man... I still think you have great channel for what you do, I dont want to discourage you tho or anything, just let you know what you can improve also better quality probably would bring more views
I love these videos! It's crazy to see how fast your channel is growing. Congrats! I'd love to see some videos where you try cooking mushrooms you aren't used to working with in the kitchen and give us a recipe and a review of it when you've made it. Or something I've been hoping a mushroom channel will do in the Pacific Northwest is mushroom forecasting. Taking a picture of the map of the state and talking about the weather ahead and the regions that are going to be best to find different sorts of mushrooms. One of my biggest issues is finding the mushrooms. I found plenty of regions where they are numerous but they seem to be highly spaced out or the more common types like red belted conk or members of the tramates family. Regardless of my ideas thank you for these videos! I love the educational content and to get a better idea of what the forest looks like where you forage. Looking forward to the spring series! 🥳🎉
I love your channel! I will try to comment more often! Keep doing what you're doing, please! And I agree that your identifications help in different regions. I live in far northern California and we get a lot of regional overlap. I wish you would come down to Humboldt for a while and make some foraging videos! Don't tell anyone though! Hahaha! 😜
I seriously might sometime this year. It would be awesome to do some foraging in that area. Thank you for watching and being so supportive, and for all your kind words. Mush-love!!🍄🤙
I was still finding matsutakes (tricholoma murrillianum / magnilevare) right before the crazy low temps and snow hit (I'm on the OlyPen in PT). Will the sub-20F temps or the snow cause the end of the matsus now? Love having mushroom vids from where I live--super helpful!
I don’t think there’s anything grown here in winter ( Edmonton Alberta) , but I just love watching your video, giving me the itch of getting out side for forage, thank you for all the great information about mushrooms, I’m a beginner here 😊❤️
I try to find at least one mushroom every day. I started out growing mushrooms before I started hunting for them regularly in the wild. I highly recommend any hunters out there who haven't tried growing them to get started ASAP.
I started by finding what I could and growing what I couldn't find. It really helps to connect us to nature when we get up close and personal with their life cycles.
Love it. You are right dude. Some groups are cosmopolitan. Pleurotus sp, Amanita sp, Ramaria sp, Agaricus sp, Flammula sp. and others are just examples. I am surprised you did not stumble across any mushrooms of Auriculariaceae sp, Sarcoscyphaceae sp, or Tremellaceae sp. They are quite common here, in my little north-east corner of a small european country named Bulgaria. Also, something i wanna ask. As i did check your fall videos, was very surprised by the lack of Hygrophorus sp. They grow all the way till late autumn.
Last year I was late foraging winter chantrelles in February and stumbled upon some really drunk Goldens. I was super confused but not upset by any means.
Thanks for the content man. Always top notch. I’m curious if you could do a video about the different anatomical terms when identifying mushrooms. I use Shroomify and when they ask me if I have an umbillicate cap or emarginate gills I get lost real quick. Again thank you for the content. I can’t wait to see what you have in the works.
Hey that's a great idea for a video when things slow down a little bit. Maybe later in the dead of winter. That is a good one though. Be one of those videos you got to watch over and over to remember!! 😅👌🍄
I live in Southern Oregon and for the first time was finding giant puffballs this fall. I'm wondering when they will flush again; only once a year or...?
How do U know where or which area to go to, to forge? Like hiking trails but there may be a lot of traffic. And do we need permits to forge? Is there a map(no specifics) that u look at mostly....to go forge?
Honestly, most of the places I discovered that have great mushrooms I learned because I am a mountain biker. Around here a lot of the good Forest service trails and mountain biking and hiking trails go through coniferous forests. That is what most of the desirable wild edible mushrooms in this area grow in. So while riding my bike over many many years I see glimpses of a lot of mushrooms. When I see a new one I stop and I learn about it. 🍄
Kitsap county, port orchard, but any stand of Conifers will do, maybe drive up to tiger mountain, or even black diamond. Honestly I don't know that area that well, but I'm sure there's county Parks and stuff where you could go walk in the forest and just start discovering what's around you.
You make my head spin because you walk and talk and you camera go up and down all the time. You are very interesting and beautiful knowledge. I just can’t watch your video beaucoup of so much fast movement of the camera.
Not to my understanding. I've heard claims that people threw lobsters into a patch of plain Russula brevipies, and the next season they were parasitized but I think it's a tall tale. Might have to look into that more though. I know the Hypomyces can be pretty selective and picky. I have even found unparasatized R. brevipies growing right next to lobster mushrooms.
Some look alike, and maybe toxic, and it is so risky. It needs to have experience. I am so interested, but never try it,, I think we need to take some courses and lead by experience advisor for exploration.
Yes, continue to educate yourself. Would you feel confident identifying an apple or blackberry in the wild? There are plenty of deadly poisonous plants, far more than mushrooms, but people tend to fear that less. There is nothing to be afraid of, just make sure to compare all of the characteristics of field guides to the mushrooms you find.
I love knowing I'm not the only one who loves nature and what it gives us. I love learning more about what grows around me for medicine and just for eating. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
The more I watch this channel, the more I crave mushrooms😭 I want to try more!!

Best part of winter hunting is the fungii won't spoil quick! Nice job, very informative. More Dammit!!
Ok I will! 🙌🍄🤙

That’s great to hear! I think it would be a great vid. Thanks Aaron.
Agreed.
Thank You for all your hard work. ❤
I love your videos!!! You're so professional!!!
In the UK I have only seen the flammulina grown from Nov-March.
I don't think one can really forage for mushrooms here (Ontario, Canada) this late in the winter ... but it's nice to keep getting your videos ... even those "boring" caps would be welcome around here !

I foraged today in nova scotia
@@mushroomwonderland1 VERY INTERESTED!!
Since I live in Central Texas, I really enjoy seeing all the flora along with the mushrooms in your videos!
We have large Oaks, but no conifers. I love plants too, and all those different plants in the forrest interest me too.
So don't worry, there's lots of interesting things in your videos!
Quick Question:
Are there any mushrooms that maybe like to grow near certain plants?
Not the saphrotic mushrooms that feed off the trees, but more like companion planting, with actual plants?
Thanks for another great video Aaron! I'm living the foraging outings vicariously through them right now, lol. Learning much from them too! Love your dog!
I live in Seattle and do route work so I’m around customers houses all the time, it’s nice to see I can hunt even now!
You’re the Man !
Winter time is here again
Thanks for continuing to make videos! I haven’t been getting out and hunting for mushrooms since the beginning on December so your videos help satiate my hiking and foraging craving!
Great content! I was so happy see another video!
Thanks! 🤙🍄
Nice video!
Thank you I enjoyed your walk and talk .
Mycelium, I want to know more , can’t get enough 🍄
The mycelium is like the hidden hero and the mushroom takes all the glory

I am close too, it is nice to have similar fungi at the same time. The snow kept me from digging around, but just walking the dogs I saw a fe.
I'll hapily support you by writing comments

Just stumbled onto your channel Great Video But made My Cabin Fever Worst 🤠 Just Subbed
⬆️⬆️4ur shr00mz and psychd stufs ⬆️⬆️
I have been winter mushroom hunting, going under bark and into logs, it's the only place mycelium is still producing
I don’t think there’s anything grown here in winter ( Edmonton Alberta) , but I just love watching your video, giving me the itch of getting out side for forage, thank you for all the great information about mushrooms, I’m a beginner here 😊❤️
Awesome, welcome aboard!
So many oyster popped in the last few warm days in East Tennessee
Awesome. You guys got some thick winter oysters down there!

I’m a novice mushroom hunter in the UK. Going away for the weekend in a woodland resort and hoping to find some winter mushrooms while going on walks.
May I suggest the channel 'wild food in the uk LTD?' he's very knowledgeable about mushrooms!

Whaoh whaoh bluets have a deadly look a like here in the south, seen them standing next to eachother.
Just found some sulphur tufts caked in snow in some mulch topped grass.
I live in Southern Oregon and for the first time was finding giant puffballs this fall. I'm wondering when they will flush again; only once a year or...?
I honestly have never found one. They don't grow around here. Bucket list mushroom!
How do U know where or which area to go to, to forge? Like hiking trails but there may be a lot of traffic. And do we need permits to forge? Is there a map(no specifics) that u look at mostly....to go forge?

Hedgehogs,yellow foot,black trumpets? These are coming on in northern California during this time.
Yeah hedgehog videos coming up really soon. And yellow foot. We don't have Black trumpet up here though 😌🍄🤙
So i can survive in wild during winter!
Roots arent everything in winter then!
I live in Federal Way, where do you forage? I haven't found any good places near me...
Kitsap county, port orchard, but any stand of Conifers will do, maybe drive up to tiger mountain, or even black diamond. Honestly I don't know that area that well, but I'm sure there's county Parks and stuff where you could go walk in the forest and just start discovering what's around you.
Can shrimp Russula be confused with the vomiter emetica. I bet they look similar.
Have you trained gunner to find truffles ?
video starts here 3:11
I’m down in Oregon along the i5 strip. Do you know of any good places to forage down here
Sorry I do not. I imagine DNR or public land. Anywhere there's Conifer Forest.
You make my head spin because you walk and talk and you camera go up and down all the time.
You are very interesting and beautiful knowledge. I just can’t watch your video beaucoup of so much fast movement of the camera.
Has anyone intentionally infected brevipes?
Not to my understanding. I've heard claims that people threw lobsters into a patch of plain Russula brevipies, and the next season they were parasitized but I think it's a tall tale. Might have to look into that more though. I know the Hypomyces can be pretty selective and picky. I have even found unparasatized R. brevipies growing right next to lobster mushrooms.
