- In this video, Aaron Hilliard, Creator of Mushroom Wonderland, mycologist, and VP of the Local Mycological Society takes you on a journey to discover the wild fungi growing in late December around his neck of the woods. We look closely while describing the parts of the mushrooms, where and how they grow, the edibility of them as well as any bonus info about these fantastic fungi.
If you have ever been curious about wild mushrooms, or have just wondered what that strange thing growing from the end of that log is, then you have found the right channel and you better hit that subscribe button!
With over 100 foraging videos much like this one we are proud to have been called the premier mushroom channel for the Pacific Northwest, and hoping to reach an even bigger audience than that!
So sit back and enjoy the peaceful scenes of nature as Aaron and his trusty Lab/Hound Gunnar scout the woods and discover all the beautiful and fascinating fungi in Mushroom Wonderland!
Aaron is becoming a legend in the mushroom community! These videos are world class and such a strong contribution to the culture. Thank you.........
Wow that's the highest of compliments. Thank you very much, Mush-love! 🍄🤙
It is super helpful to have you repeatedly introduce species you find! It does help solidify some of the names in my memory banks and the descriptions, while usually very similar, sometimes add something new about the mushroom. So... keep going like you have been!
Agreed!
In Maine I had the mother of all honey mushroom harvests this year. I made 8 quarts of cream of honey mushroom soup and pressure canned it and I dehydrated the rest and stored them in a one gallon freezer bag to make tinctures because science says honey mushrooms are great at preventing lung cancer. The harvest was literally like 30 lbs.
Dang, your B-Roll is looking amazing! I love the little snail shot, and the drone footage. Plus of course I always like seeing Gunnar bein a good boi too. I love the repetition when it comes to IDing species! Drill it into my head! Thanks for all your hard work.
thanks very much! so nice to have this channel to reference since so many others in other parts of the country. just seen a bunch of mushrooms on bainbridge after all the snow melted 😮
I love your trail walking music.Keep doing videos,you're awesome Aaron!! Happy Holidays from NWPa.
So interesting and I agree, the repetition is so helpful even to seasoned foragers! I loved the factoid about the Ink cap WWII letters, authenticated by microscopy, wow!
I love the channel, and I love the repetition!! It’s great to see example after example of how a particular mushroom might present and be encountered in nature-and even though there’s a lot of the same thing, often the phrasing is slightly different-often what it takes for an idea to click or be memorable-or some shade of additional detail added that builds understanding gradually enough to be retained. It’s like studying with a real friend, being taken on walks and shown things-except you cut out extra time, insert extra images that are helpful, and your photography is amazing! Audio presentation, too, is awesome-often I like a channel, but I just can’t stand to listen to it, because they destroyed the audio. Your personal presentation is very down to earth and relaxing, too-approachable, yet accurate and informative, including the technical jargon for reference-which I truly appreciate greatly! I’m very new to the field, but I recommend your channel all the time. Great job, bro!
Thanks again brother for all of your information and inspiration 👊💯
Great new video!
I love watching your videos! The repetition is very helpful since there's a lot to learn and memorize. Thank you and Happy holidays!
I'm down with going over the same mushrooms again. It's a lot of info to absorb in the first place, and most often I need to be exposed to stuff like that repeatedly for the info to sink in. Appreciate all that you do, man keep em coming! :)
No danger in reputation as learning from you shows different examples and one can see variation as it expresses itself each presentation.
Aaron could you perhaps collect a tablespoon full of the soil in those forests and send here? Would like to inoculate some compost with that amazing life that's in that wonderful soil there. Can't travel and collect due to medical complications would really help us out. Love mushroom wonderland also btw thanks for the info!
Love the music!
Merry Christmas to you & your Family

Thank you for the interesting Videos all trough the year🍄💞🍄💞🍄
One of your videos in the recent past saved my ass. I'm sitting here in profound amazement of how I could have eaten a poisonous mushroom had you not put a shred of doubt in my head to look more closely and to do a spore print. That mushroom in question is the wood blew it. It's Cousin the Cortenarius looks remarkably close to the blewit which is not a choice edible as you know. I've been eating /collecting those blewits for years and never came across the cortanarius until recently. I would have eaten it had you not put that video out. So thank you so very much and please continue to put out this sort of content.
I have excellent video footage of both of these mushrooms side-by-side if you are interested let me know how I can get that to you.
Signal and what's app I know do full resolution videos. Thank you Aaron Happy holidays!
That is awesome to hear! That's what it's all about. Glad I could pass on that information and maybe save you a little trouble. Mush love!✌️🍄
Thanks for your great videos!
I like your channel alot. Not a beginner and I appreciate the repetition. Truth be told, I'm in the northeast and what you find is different from what I find. As in botany, one can learn to identify mycological families which can be very helpful in the field.
Newbie mushroom hunter here. Just found your channel. Love your videos..
Nice job bro!, keep it up pimpin!..
Great info, really accessible, and relevant even to me here in Western Massachusetts. Similarly low elevation, mixed forests and comparable (though somewhat drier) climate. Subscribed!
Great use of music sir. When I refer to your channel to my wife and others I call you “my mushroom guy”
Great video. Thanks
You are helping me so mush... repetition is key to learning. Mush love🍄
Hope you had a great Christmas and all the best in the new year!

I wanted to suggest the brown text with no background (against forest floor) has difficulty standing out. Thanks for the vid :)
So informative. Thank you!
Repetition is key to knowledge
Awesome, thanks for the content🤚🏻😎
Super educational, great job
Your dog looks like one I had years ago! Very cute 😄
I am a pastry chef on Bainbridge island, I would like to work with Clytocibe odora and candy caps, locally foraged
I saw a squirrel collecting an entire patch of what appeared to be yellow amanita type mushrooms and he was acting very strange and brushed past me after giving me a stare down, grabbed another from a weedy area under huge pines, and ran right by my leg again and up a tree to his nest. I was fishing in a pond and blocking his path so he went between me and the water.
Strange. Just because certain chemicals affect humans doesn't mean they do to squirrels
@@mushroomwonderland1 That squirrel was acting crazy. He was gathering a patch of unusually yellow mushrooms. It was on the LA/TX border so I`m not sure what kind they were. It was a cat squirrel and usually they`re very afraid of people so it seemed strange.
East Bremerton, Ilahee/Brownsville/Gilberton. Picking a lot of late fall " oyster" as well as some true pleurotus. And I think we could get a second flushing of the blue guys.
I get a lot of slippery jack, russula and a few amanitas this time of year. Sometimes I find honey mushrooms
Bring on the mushrooms.
H capnoides is good but my favorite is H sublateridium or brick caps. I'm surprised you didn't find any brick caps considering the other Hyphelomas that were present 🤔
I ate a huge cauliflower mushroom today
Hi, quick question. I was wondering if Brick caps fluoresce under UV like Sulfur tufts and Conifer tufts do? I ask because I found a small cluster of what looked like easily identifiable brick caps but they lit up under my uv light so I'm thinking they might be Sulfur tufts? The other thing that makes me think they are Sulfur Tufts is they were growing from the 'ground' from a hidden root system or stump. I usually only see Sulfur tufts growing from the 'ground' and Brick caps growing from deadwood. They look like textbook brick caps though so i'm pretty stumped. hehe. Would love to figure this out, google is clueless.
Aren’t spores microscopic, so the pine cone slit must have been like a gap similar to the Grand Canyon? 😮 for that spore to have fit . ?
Merry Christmas Aaron! Thanks for the video! I have found nothing...looking forward to spring!
Hi, I’m on the same Coast way South. Apparently there are a couple of place where ‘magic’ mushrooms can be found. What is the scientific name of those?
The gomphidius is actually Good!! They taste kinda citrusy 😉 i dare you to taste

I don't think I can get past the smell 🤣
are there any poisonous mushrooms that bruise blue?
is there any mycological community you'd recommend in South Carolina?
You know, I'm not very familiar with that area, but a quick Google search would probably show several mushroom clubs in that area. I know there's a big mycological community there, your warm summer rains produce a lot of mushrooms that many of us envy in the West where it's usually dry in the summer.
& another thing...
What are your thoughts on picking versus cutting ...for instance does it damage the mycelium or does it make it better...
I've been wondering.... can psylisybe or any other mushrooms grow from just one kind of mycelium or does there have to be a certain kind of mycelium to grow certain kinds of fungi..
Does picking them really benefit there growth?
Nah man it's good to see the same mushroom over again, lets me remember the name and features.
I wish he would not pull them up.
It's the only way to ID them and see/show the features necessary for identification.
