ARrrbgh always been taught not to wash mushrooms as they soak up water take a soft brush with you I use a shaving brush for what you would call a thrift store All the best bor the holidays from across the pond here in the UK
@@simonparkinson5454 Excellent tip. A handkerchief, bandana, or sharp knife work well, too. Also: dry sautè your mushrooms to remove moisture to improve their texture. I'll typically only steam or boil them if I'm immediately processing them for a recipe.
Exciting to find so much mushroom. I was for getting it all and taking to neighbors or friends. But the lentil chowder was a great idea to show off and use up the mushrooms. Always take some salt or dried octopus or seaweed perhaps. Mav has a folding santoku that looks handy. Maybe by Spyderco? I loved the matsutaki video. Also the one well deserved beer always looks fantastic.
Forage skill is now at level 2. Your video quality is so much better now compared to months ago. Cool stuff this. That chowder looks good and delicious.
The darker oyster mushrooms have this chewy bubblegum texture that feels so satisfying to bite through. The flavor has a mild umami like profile. IMO, pairs really well with something bitter. Just a personal preference. Nice foraging video!
I just realised the "bite" from mushrooms is like the mild version of the bite you'd get from tripe! Which is why tripe, though it sounds bad, is so delicious to some!
Taku at 8:08: "Right in the middle of the wild onions. Look at what's next to it." Me: "Looks like some delicious herb or something." Taku: "This can kill you."
Loved this vid Taku. Mushroom foraging is a great idea. Chanterelles are delicious, easy to find, and very safe here in the SF bay area. They might be a good choice for the novices out there too. I enjoy all of your videos. You are going to have 1 m. subs in no time!
One thing you could do when harvesting mushrooms is to shake them around where you found them so the spores can fall out and have a chance to reproduce. LOL my dad bought those "wild onions" and theya re growing in our back yard.. I think he called them triangle leeks or something like that.
I get my from an online store his got shroom, psychedelic and microdosing products well refined also ships to anywhere discreetly, can also guide you on anything.
I like this. Keep mixing your channel with fishing, catch and cook, camping, and foraging! I also do some van camping and fishing (if you call folding the rear seats of the van camping) and cook my catch with my portable stove. I'm also in the bay area.
This is hilarious I just found winter Oyster mushrooms yesterday. The timing of this video is crazy. I sauteed up some yesterday and made crispy garlic roasted mushrooms today. Turned out awesome. The great thing was that it was on a cut section of tree that fell down and I live in a rural area. so after harvesting the mushrooms I grabbed the chunk of log and carried it home. I've been experimenting with growing my own from purchased mushroom spawn but this was an awesome find. Also this video was unexpected and definitely a plesant addition to your catch and cooks.
After the mushrooms, when you couldn’t find your way back, I thought it was going to turn into a “How to survive in the woods overnight” video. These foraging videos are great you should definitely do more.
Definitely enjoy your videos! With wild mushroom season upon us I would love to see more mushroom and edible plants. I do want to point out that the 1st mushroom you found wasn't an old chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) but an Dyer's polypore (Phaeolus schweinitzii). Although it has uses in imparting color to yarn, it is possibly poisonous. If you want some help with ID's let me know, I am by no means an expert but have considerable knowledge on mushrooms. Would love to join you on a hike and when the water calms down a dive
Can you help identify psilocybin mushrooms? It is very similar to a lethal mushroom that grows here. I just cant tell them apart. Dont judge. Research indicate they are good for depression which I have. The chronic kind. Doctors refuse to help. They are too busy saving their own butt.
Worms love those guys. A tip to deworm a mushroom, if there are only a few and or to make sure there aren't any, is to give them a brief soak in super salty water.
Absolutely do like this. Foraging videos are great and it would be great for you to branch into it. The bay area is one of the most forgiving places for foraging, and not just coastal life!
There are a few great channels out there and books too. just be super careful. Oysters, however, are really easy to identify. If you do find some and eat them keep a few intact and off to the side in case you were wrong. Having the mushrooms you ate on hand could save your life by identifying what you had.
I know that cyanide in small quantities won't be lethal but in large quantities it's lethal. Even a video of a guy drinking cyanide to see how bad it was,didn't affect him that much,in small amounts over a long period of time,large amounts will kill you,small amounts repeatedly throughout a week could kill someone.
Anything that's gathering and foraging all types of foods. Gives me that wonder that I'm missing out on such an interesting skill. Being able to get natural ingredients for yourself and able to apply them to dishes is something I wish I took the time to do. I've had a skin condition from processed foods using sugars/cane sugar and I like how you can take these recipes with untampered ingredients to really know what's in your plate. Just recently discovered this channel and I wanna see what 2020 looks like.
Jocelyn is great, but I really how like this video as its back to where you started. Just you and a camera with low tech tools and fantastic food. I could listen to you talking about mushrooms, sushi, foraging, cooking or just about anything else for hours.
Every episode are bomb! Not just learning how to cook but also learning new things about "almost" everything! Haha I hope one day I can travel and vlog too ! ❤️
I've never been able to find wild onions, lucky lucky find! Thanks for the closeups with the white flowers attached. Would adore more mushroom foraging videos!
Since your channel is called outdoor chef life, make use of anything and everything. Foraging is great for anyone who’s out and about and don’t go prepared. Videos like this one, are informational and can help save a life. Keep making them since you’re not able to get out on the coast.
More foraging in the forest, anything edible that can be made into a meal. Bring an expert in maybe so you could identify more of what to eat and what not to eat. If the waters are rough take a break from the coasts or maybe go to a lake or river with calmer waters near the bay.
It is out of your comfort zone,foraging for wild mushrooms but a surprising reward.Another nice simple outing.I hope to learn more about wild mushrooms from you.Keep it up,Taku San.Thank you!
Also just in case you get other mushrooms, oysters are very forgiving as far as cooking. If you were to do this technique with several other wild choice culinary mushrooms, you'd end up with a chewy mess. For many mushrooms a dry cooking technique is better, like roasting or grilling. Or even drying, and then cooking (or powderizing dried for flavor and thickening.) Another good technique that works with almost all mushrooms is dry sauteeing. Basically you sautee with minimal oil, until the moisture cooks out of the mushroom. You can go all the way to browning if you want. Then put the mushroom in your soup and it won't be chewy. For things like chanterelles, which have such a delicate flavor, this is one of the only ways to save the flavor. If you dry or freeze them, they lose it. But if you sautee them in butter and save the butter, it will be chanterelle flavored. If you ever want to come up to the SW WA cascades and hunt mushrooms, I do a lot up here aug-nov for the really choice guys: porcini, matsutake, several different chanterelles, and a few others.
Thank you for the foraging video. Nice mushrooms, wild onions and Kershaw. Reminds me of Morel hunting when I was a kid. Those things were elusive but so tasty. Oh Taku "I didn't come prepared except for these lentils, garlic, chiles, cookware, stove and can of coconut milk" :D
I prefer your typical videos of fishing and cooking, but there is nothing wrong with switching it up with a fresh idea from time to time. I personally wasn't that interested in this video, but I did watch it until the end (and no, I'm not one of the people that voted it down).
Yeah, please do more! I’m an avid mushroomer, but I’m new to CA (formerly a midwesterner). Oysters, chicken-of-the-woods, etc. are everywhere, but I’m hoping to learn a lot more about the CA mushroom scene!
I'm from South Texas and we really don't have too many wild mushrooms but under the right circumstances and conditions morels grow just about everywhere you look and they are delicious grilled on mesquite wood.
I cannot wait to try this recipe. Thank you Taku for all of the inspirations. I am going video by video from when you first started so I am pretty for behind, but these are fantastic.
I love all of your videos. It is also nice to see a switch up forgaging from your local timber. I am from Iowa and we have plenty of them here as well. We have two types golden oysters and the cream colored ones like you were. My very favorite way to eat them is to dip them in an egg wash and then roll them in panko crumbs.
yes, I would like to see more mushroom videos in the future. Everything that we can get from the nature in the state of California from SD to Oregon border
Great video!! The first round, flat mushroom you found, is not an old chicken-of-the-woods, that's a Phaeolus schweinitzii, commonly called "the Dyer's Polypore". The next solitary one you found, with the umbo in the middle of the cap looks like Marasmius oreades, though I'm not 100% sure on that one. The conk, the woody shelf polypore, is most likely Ganoderma applanatum
I just made a 20 minute dinner with this idea. Garlic, onions, chile de arbol, idaho russet, carrot, portabella strips, shrimp, garam masala, coconut milk, italian seasoning, butter, and leftover corn bread. Probably the epitome of fridge clearing, partial drunk food ive ever made it was straight fire.
I really miss mushroom hunting around the bay area. A friend once had a stash of mushrooms that had a maple syrup flavor to them. So many beautiful and delicious varieties.

As someone whos main hobby is foraging, Id very much love to see more of this kind of video, it is Outdoor Chef Life after all!
outdoor chef please put a cook book together. this will be quite handy book to have when disconnected from the internet on a boat or camping.
Forage skill is now at level 2. Your video quality is so much better now compared to months ago. Cool stuff this. That chowder looks good and delicious.

Me: "Looks like some delicious herb or something."

I thought it was carrot.
it went from that's a nice looking plant to this is poison and will kill you

LOL my dad bought those "wild onions" and theya re growing in our back yard.. I think he called them triangle leeks or something like that.
the bigger leaves makes me think they are in the leek family. I used to both garden and forage. Your dad may be right
Hey!, those mushrooms you called suspicious are called rose-gill fairy helmet. But they are inedible

Tis the season my dude! 🍄I use a small paint brush to Clean the gills of my mushrooms so I dont water log them.

These foraging videos are great you should definitely do more.
I thought it might turn into that too
🤣🤣😂😂
The foraging videos help set you apart from the channels I follow that are just fishing/catch and cook. I really enjoy them
My five year old son and I love these videos you make! We eat this stuff up!
this video feels almost like watching a good ol Bob Ross. Very calming, and just genuine. Loved it
Between you and Fisherman's Life, I've got all I need for UA-cam haha
Its a nice change of pace to see a forest/mountain foraging video. Very cool

I was surprised you didn’t take the bulb of the onion. We get the wild onions here in Texas.
I love videos like this where people forage for food instead of going to a grocery store!
That mushroom foraging stuff is awesome Taku, definitely do another vid like this, get some chicken of the woods or chanterelles
Water runs through my mouth already. Pure nature delicacy 🥃
I'd like to see you do some more non coastal stuff. This video was really good!
Definitely keen to watch more mushroom foraging and cooking! Wild herbs, spices - just SUPER cool to watch
That looks yummy. I´m in for more foraging. LG from Germany
This is exactly the kind of content I like to see! Foraging and coastal fishing are both so fun and so sustainable!
I want to learn how to forage mushrooms!
its so much fun.
Start by studying which ones are edible and which ones aren't.
Check out the channel Learn Your Land, or Yellow Elanor. Both do mushroom foraging vids.
There are a few great channels out there and books too. just be super careful. Oysters, however, are really easy to identify. If you do find some and eat them keep a few intact and off to the side in case you were wrong. Having the mushrooms you ate on hand could save your life by identifying what you had.
Get a good guide book and theres some good identification groups on Facebook as well happy foraging
I vote for more mushroom foraging/cooking videos. That oyster mushroom lentil stew looked great.
Fun Fact: That Hemlock is the stuff they made Socrates drink to kill him for being too smart in ye olden days
Vaguely remember hemlock could be good in a tiny dose but not sure. Maybe it was a similar plant.
@@fishsauce2221 I think that's Belladonna? Like you can eat a fruit (singular) without too much damage? Idk, someone fact check me
I know that cyanide in small quantities won't be lethal but in large quantities it's lethal.

I used to fried and stir fried the white mushroom in the thumbnail. I fry it with flour so it becomes crispy. It's a very delicious mushroom!

Me 1 hour before: floating on the air
As long as you’re being a chef doing chefy things I’m watching love the variation

Yes please more forest foraging! I have always wanted to learn more about foraging especially mushrooms and where I could find some on the east coast.
Shrooms!
i hope your videos always stay this raw and honest and cool
*Sees mushrooms*
Taku: "Hmm they look young and healthy"
Also Taku: *cuts them and eats them*
Also think these videos are perfect just like your catch and cooks. Really great vibes either way
Is this in california
Yes
More of these mushroom videos please! I like your normal content too, but foraging is just so peaceful and satisfying to watch!
they look like angel wing mushroom to me, not oysters
Same
I thought same thing

Love your fishing series but I’d love to see more of you foraging!! This video is so calming. Love it!! ❤️
Do more of these video's, really liked it. Big fan of your work, much love from Denmark.
Yes! Keep it up, I’m all about wild harvest in all its forms
I love all of your videos. It is also nice to see a switch up forgaging from your local timber. I am from Iowa and we have plenty of them here as well. We have two types golden oysters and the cream colored ones like you were. My very favorite way to eat them is to dip them in an egg wash and then roll them in panko crumbs.
Sorry hit the wrong button. Fry them up and they are delicious
You picked the perfect topic for me I love mushrooms and to be honest it was nice to see this kind of video ( once and a while lol )
Yep, do more! been saying for a while that you should branch out and do more foraging vids. Chowder looked bomb! Looking forward to your next vid.
More inland stuff and more foraging please Taku! Love your work mate!
Looks great. I enjoy watching your forage videos. I can almost taste it thru the screen. Look forward to seeing the next one. Thank you.
yes, I would like to see more mushroom videos in the future. Everything that we can get from the nature in the state of California from SD to Oregon border
Damn i loved this «Wild Foraging» video! Pretty fun to watch you go find stuff and improvise with what you found. Absolely do more please!
Great video!! The first round, flat mushroom you found, is not an old chicken-of-the-woods, that's a Phaeolus schweinitzii, commonly called "the Dyer's Polypore". The next solitary one you found, with the umbo in the middle of the cap looks like Marasmius oreades, though I'm not 100% sure on that one. The conk, the woody shelf polypore, is most likely Ganoderma applanatum
not just the mushrooms but the wild edibles info is super helpful and would love to see more!
I just made a 20 minute dinner with this idea. Garlic, onions, chile de arbol, idaho russet, carrot, portabella strips, shrimp, garam masala, coconut milk, italian seasoning, butter, and leftover corn bread. Probably the epitome of fridge clearing, partial drunk food ive ever made it was straight fire.
I really miss mushroom hunting around the bay area. A friend once had a stash of mushrooms that had a maple syrup flavor to them. So many beautiful and delicious varieties.
I like all types of foraging really. This is quite informative as well. Thanks for the video.
Always a really cool and informative way of presenting just how easy nature provides! you make awesome videos man!
These are nice too, lots of great info, especially around the safety aspects of wild foraging
