She is actually correct about the maitake (舞茸). Back in the day, they were considered to be such a rare thing to find that the person who found them would dance out of happiness. It's also said that the mushrooms look like a bunch of butterflies dancing. Either way, the character to represent "dance" in this fashion is mau (舞う). You can also find maitake tempura in Japan as well.
As a medical herbalist and someone who specializes in mushrooms, I can say that yes, some mushrooms can be eaten raw, but people are highly encouraged to cook all mushrooms, as there are constituents in raw mushrooms which are particularly difficult for the kidneys to process, and anyone with kidney problems should NEVER eat raw mushrooms. I once had a student who ate a good many raw chanterelles which they bought from a grocery store, and needed to go to the hospital due to the digestive discomfort they were experiencing... and discomfort is putting it lightly.
I second your caution to cook all mushrooms, and it is not just for digestive concerns. Some mushrooms produce compounds that can have medical consequences, most of these compounds seem to be inactivated by the heat of cooking.
This video definitely made me grateful for the untold numbers of our ancestors who, probably out of desperation, inadvertently sacrificed themselves to help humanity as a whole figure out which mushrooms didn't kill us/were edible. Such a versatile ingredient that will always taste great 😍

In reality, the type of beer is called "Pils", named after the city of Pilsen in the Czech Republic. I am almost 100% sure, that they just misspelled it as "Pilz" as the words sound the same, when spoken out ^^
I live in Germany and confirm what Jonas-jq9qo said. The label "Pilz" is probably intentionally misspelled for the Ameican market and should be written "Pils" and is short for "Pilsner" which, in turn, is a nod to the Czech Town of Pilsen. Germans would never confuse a Pils (pronounced "pills") with a Pilz (pronounced "pilts"). This type of marketing misspelling is to make "foreign-inspired" products seem more foreign than they are for the Anglo- or North American market. Kellogs has (or used to have?) a cereal called Müeslix, which is a non-sensical spelling for the Swiss or German cereal spelled "Müsli" or if you have no way to type an "ü", "Muesli", but never with both "ü" and "e". Similarly, Häagen-Dazs, which is marketed as a Danish brand of ice cream has a totally non-sensical spelling to Danes and is known in Denmark as "that American ice cream brand". 😆

After undergoing psilocybin experiences, the visions and shared emotions can feel deeply relatable and genuine. Nonetheless, to someone without such experiences, these phenomena might appear unfamiliar and even incorrect.
I'm glad she referred to morels as having a honeycomb pattern. I know a lot of people say they look like a brain, but that is a dangerous comparison because there are a few highly toxic wild mushrooms that look far more like a brain (one even being called the false morel).
@@allenstewart8535 naah not that poisonous. As far as i now real morels dont contain gyromitrin so you dont have to worry as much as with gyromitra esculenta for example
@@allenstewart8535 dw mate, your point that they shouldn't be eaten raw still stands. And real morels can actually cause poisonings as well, even when cooked, especially if you eat many and older morels. Though that is rather unpleasant, it's not really threatening and you fully recover after a few hours.

In Scandinavia where we pick and eat lots of mushrooms to dehydrate a mushroom we use medium heat, salt and put a lid over the dry pan which brings out the water, turning a few times and letting the water evaporate, After this we bring up the heat to high, put butter in the pan and brown/sear. If you sear it first you’re trapping the water inside (you referenced steak, same thing).
@@nmg6248 Oh no, this os preparing fresh meaty mushrooms for a meal. To dehydrate for storage requires complete drying or they will decompose. There ate different methods, and also dehydrators you can by with layers of sheets of netting inside with a fan for fruit, berries, herbs and mushrooms. I go picking yellow chantrelles to eat fresh end of summer, but later pick brown chantrelles to dry for winter stews, sauces etc to serve with game, and porcini and others to dry. I usually have a big stack of newspapers saved up and scatter a single layer of well cleaned and sorted mushrooms by size and type on a paper and set it close to the radiators. Put another one on top 3 times a day and flip over (some get stuck, you need to change more often the first day or two. Thin ones like the chantrelles are shrivelled up and dry quickly, porcini I dice to 1cm size pieces so they dry quicker. I keep in double paper bags in a dark dry pantry,, after some time if I have very dry ones left I transfer to big jars. If you have a good oven with fan you can use that to dry them, without heat. The whole house smells like forest and mushrooms during the process (not for everyone but I don’t mind) and two things are important: don’t pick mushrooms in damp weather after the rain, and bring a proper mushroom knife to the forest with a brush on the back end; you cut off the wet bits, anything with wormholes, and most impprtantly the gills on the types of mushrooms where they aren’t eaten (like porcini with squishy pipe gills) as you go. This all insures you don’t have wet mushrooms piling up (which decomposes fast) and that the spores and mycellum is left in the forest so more will grow. I also use a basket to carry them in, good circulation of air protects their shape. Different kinda grow in different areas, you learn to recognize these bu the trees, mosses, etc. It’s a lovely way to immerse into the forest with a friend or companion dog. And a jar of dried and gand picked porcini makes a marvelous holiday gift! I pick blueberries and lingonberries (like tiny cranberries) and freeze them too. And the first nettles of spring for nettle soup with deviled eggs.
This video is mainly focused on commercially grown mushrooms. In Russia, we mostly gather mushrooms and eat different sorts, some of them mentioned as the specialty mushrooms. We separate them into classes, class I being the tastiest. My chanterelles are golden chanterelles (Class I), and there's a lot of them growing here, other valuable mushrooms here are brown cup boletus(class III), aspen mushrooms (class II), and the most desirable mushrooms are penny buns/porcini. Porchini are rare to find, but the lats year we succeeded to find quite amount, ate them and dried them. I personally prefer chanterelles to any other mushroom i ever tasted because they have the least slimy texture and very rich taste. The problem is, slugs and worms love porcini more than people do, so it's really rare to find an intact porchino. Morels grow in Russia as well, but they are even more rare than porchini and tend to gather poisonous chemicals from the environment inside, so they are considered "mushroom fan mushroom only". They are considered class III. Other "mushroom fan only" delicacies are Lactarius Resimus (really rare and best salted, I've seen it only once a lifetime, old and rotten) and Lactarius deliciosus (doesn't grow in my region; really rare - i only heard about that). They both are Class I and are mentioned in classic literature and poetry. Fun fact: in my country crimini are sometimes marketed as "royal champinon" XD. Sometimes i buy them (any size) and fry in butter. I haven't seen portobellos before, though. Fun fact II in northern Russia in Tundra mushrooms including class I and some others mentioned above, grow unbelievably huge. Plate-size caps, knee-high stems and really tasty, locals love that. In Russia there's a lot of forests, and they are quite wet, so there's a lot of mushrooms and no restrictions on gathering and eating them at all.
Sounds amazing. I think this video is focusing on mushrooms available for home cooks in the US. I guess better to give out concise info about what they know vs giving out sloppy info on things they’ve never experienced nor would be able to show? I realized this as I was writing but they are filming at their office in the US so they would only really have access to what they can get from nearby stores to use in the video. And like she prefaced, this is only a few out of thousands.
Here in the US pacific northwest, we share a handful of those types! Golden Chantelle, porcine, king and queen boletes, and many other goodies including truffles! We have a vibrant foraging community here, I'm lucky to be in a place with one
When she said "porchinis are very hard to find" I was like: those literally grow 40 feet from my House in masses 😅 so appearantly Germany is a Porcini paradise
@@kanchanchaudhary1973 Yeah depends. You can't forage in a national park in Germany or Poland. But everywhere else is pretty much fine, keeping the safety of choosing the right mushroom in mind of course
I don't know if I'm such a mushrooms guy or this lady really makes me feel like I just watched my first UA-cam video! Super interesting, I love her gentle sense of humor as well.
the entire "every type of x/ how to prepare/cut/eat x" series is amazing, funny, informative, and well made. if it was all one host it would still be impressive but it's incredible how it's a different person every single time and the videos are all amazonh
I know I’m late but I had my first morel mushrooms yesterday. They were sautéed and the topping on butter linguini. So simple and perfect. Highly recommend trying them if possible
@@Eugene_TEC Even a lot of wild-found mushrooms are cheaper than morels. The thing with them is, they're generally only in their prime edible state for about one or two weeks of the year.
See, I didn't even know about the paper bag stuff. I usually only buy mushrooms when I need them (like specifically for a recipe). Thank you, Chef Adrienne.
Same my mom said "when you buy mushrooms make sure you use it right away or it will go bad" honestly never thought of the paper bag. So even after my family goes mushroom picking my parents would make soup with all the fresh mushroom right away lol. I love mushrooms but like you I only buy them when I want to make a dish with them
We have a big variety of mushrooms growing wild here in Russia, as well as the old and rich tradition of collecting and cooking them. BTW porcini and chanterelle are quite common. Chanterelles are awesome sauteed with some onions and sourcream sauce and porcinis are reeeally great for soups.
I agree, very common in Poland as well. I noticed, that a lot of information in their videos is specified for North America. Sometimes it sounds funny :P
Beautiful and very useful video! Only thing, "portobello" means "nice harbour" in Italian, but the word for door is very similar to that, so understandable
Dried dongo (冬菇 in Chinese) can also be used for making broths and they have way more flavour than regular shiitake mushrooms. Dried dongo powder can also be used to make make broths richer and my mom usually makes them with chicken feet and oyster sauce in a large pot. They taste amazing too :D
Chinese mums using them in soup, congee, and macaroni :D The best dish is 髮菜蠔豉燜冬菇 (Stewed dongo with fat choy and dried oyster) But we don't really cut them to store them though.
Plus mushrooms have a way closer texture. Shake Shack makes a burger called "The Shroomburger" its a deep fried mushroom and cheese patty that's way better than most meat substitutes.
mushrooms are my absolute fav meat substitute but tofu can be really delicious and versatile too! i think the problem is that a lot of people try to cook a block of tofu like they would a steak instead of treating it like its own ingredient. if you wanna try some really good tofu dishes and dont mind a little spice, id recommend you try mapo tofu or soondubu-jjigae!
The best host you ever featured on this channel hands down, and I watch all your videos! This woman was absolutely adorable, passionate about her presentation and a delight to watch. 😊💞
As a chef turned exotic mushroom grower, I absolutely love this video, recommend it to soo many people and thank you so much for making it! It could've been much longer but it's the best I've ever seen. 🍄❤️
Wonder if there's enough mushrooms for a part 2. Cuz I wanna know what I can make with Shimeji mushrooms since grocery stores near me are selling them.
Shimeji are most often used in miso soup, but can also be cooked in a variety of stir-fries. I'm lucky enough to live in Japan, and there actually quite a few verities of shimeji. It's not typical but I love to use them when i make Oyakodon (chinken and egg over rice) as its a really nice compliment and adds a nice extra texture to the dish. Great mushroom to use in a variety of dishes because of their mild taste and nice texture.
I pickle shimeji, rice vinegar : water : sugar(1:1:0.5), salt (pinch or more depending on how much pickling liquid you're making), black pepper and I suggest some cayenne pepper if you like spiciness and star anise is good as well.
This is one of the best hosts on this series, shes so fun to watch! Whoever did the editing on this deserves a raise, theyre the MVP of this episode, fantastic work
This is fun. I love mushrooms. Shiitake, Dried Shiitake, Enoki, Chanterelle, Morel, Swiss, Portobello, Button, Porcini, Black Fungus, Black Truffles, White Truffles, King Oyster, Oyster, Cordyceps.
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with cptsd since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.
I was hesitant about a 27 mins video about mushrooms, but thid was very entertaining and I learned a lot. We need to see this girl more often, she was great!
Last fall, I found a 10-pound head of maitake in my local park and I took that home, cleaned and shredded it, and ate stir-fried mushrooms and rice for a week. it tasted soo good! I even saved the thick stalk to use in soup stocks to add some extra omph to my bougie ramen. This experience singlehandedly kickstarted my mushroom foraging hobby, not gonna lie.
So jealous! Sycamore trees near my house sometimes have enormous beautiful maitake, but sadly they’re on a busy sidewalk-too close to dogs and car exhaust to be safe eating. 😭
I really like how she actually dared vouce the fact portobellos are a crap mushroom and just very well marketed :D my grandma comes from a eastern european country and worked half her life as a mushroom collector for the state(s) of yugoslavia, and whenever a restaurant advertises portobellos anywhere she just leaves lol for mushroom taste, there's just much better mushrooms, and for burger-patty-similarities, there's also a ton of better options, especially by now.
@@chicuongvu1806 maybe you don't know the best way to cook them then? Sear them like a steak and season well. Put the tiniest but of butter or oil on top of mushroom once off the skillet.
she is fantastic! I love how straightforward and passionate she is. Not like a wild tv personality, which is also fine, I just enjoy that she is like, here's the deal
Hey all, PNW mushroom forager here. Instead of cooking your mushrooms right away with oil, cook them initially with a tiny bit of water, THEN oil.Careful so the oil doesn't splash at you, but essentially, mushrooms can absorb a LOT of oil. Cooking in water seals up the inner pathways inside the mushroom. This way, the oil you use (I use salted butter) will end up coating the mushroom, rather than getting absorbed, leading to much more tender and flavourful mushrooms! Try it out!
Someone else in the PNW who wants to cook more mushrooms, but hasn't really tried yet. I could see this being true, but doesn't that lead to more splatter in the pan?
Great tip PNW...just saw a few of years last week (early wee hrs rabbit hole mind you. But DID enjoy !! :) AND... Being a foodie... Great tip. Will be trying soon. Thx !
Chef Adrienne is the most likeable watchable presenter of food I’ve seen yet. I learned a ton and can’t wait to try her recipes! I love her enthusiasm and comfort in front of the camera. Get her a show!
She seems to chill and passionate and fun. I forgot that she's also a full serious chef. It took her talking about a restaurant she worked at retaining 3 Michelin stars to remind me lol.
Loved this episode! Would love to see Chef Cheatham again - she's got such an engaging manner and is great at communicating her knowledge and enthusiasm for what she's talking about.
I was doing some research for a book I'm writing and I absolutely love her vibes! Probably gonna procrastinate writing to binge a bunch of these videos
Darlin' - You are just about the most charming "host" I have ever experienced, especially with the slight seasoning of curse words! Adds so much umami to this overall feast of fantastic fungi! Thank you!
Excellent, I would love to watch her no only expand this but help us learn about other foods too. She should be a professor. Entertaining and keeps one focused. Her presentation and demeanor is superb.
Here in Europe we pick mostly Porcini, because they are the best, usually in spring and autumn. In a particularly rainy period there is some chanterelles. I think the Porcini are called that because wild boars love them!
I found this recipe online for maitake: mix soaked wakame seaweed (available dried at Asian grocery stores) with butter, then dab that all over the mushroom and roast it in the oven. Freakin' delicious. A real umami whammy!
I love Adrienne. She was amazing on her season of TC and an absolute badass. Was pleasantly surprised to see her doing this video because I also LOVE mushrooms and this was very educational.
We have one in Europe that grows a hat about a size of a woodchoppers whole hand 😅 it's huge and because the brown /white specks we call it in Hungary fawn legs and in Germany mostly known as Parasol because it's big size. It's best to coat them in breadcrumbs/panco and fry them 🤤
In Japan. Matsutake mushrooms are really rare. So when we go out into the forests, we usually hunt for them when we smell them whilst walking. Fantastic mushroom
Adrienne Cheatham I enjoyed your clearity, warm and fun energy while giving all this fantastic information on mushrooms. I am so jazzed to eat more mushrooms and I am looking forward to making the sofe scramble eggs with shaved truffle. I look forward to more videos or maybe even a cooking show( if you don't already have one) !
Love it when the hood side comes out. ^•^ .i use to work in a golf club when i was a teen, and i became obssd with fingis, lol i was the weird kid with a basket, and yes i will find magic ones, i would eat in the middle of the woods. I just felt the conection, i love fungis!
I feel like I fell in love twice in 28 mins! :P She is infectiously enthusiastic, fun and knowledgeable and gave me a much stronger appreciation for mushrooms. I’ve always been kinda “blah” about them, no love or hate, but I realize now I’ve just been experiencing them wrong. Adrienne is amazing and I definitely want to see more of her and learn from her.
Check out the handle 👆 he's got the best tips and stuff for micro-dosing shrooms, psych meds, DMT trips, psilocybin, and gummies. He also ships to any location. Great stuff! I've micro-dosed shrooms for about 6 months now and it has really helped my anxiety and depression. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Maitake is my absolute favorite. It's great cooked with a little bit of butter and orzo too. It lets the maitake flavor the orzo with that nice, delicate, nutty taste. I never thought of frying it though! That looks so tasty!

I go picking yellow chantrelles to eat fresh end of summer, but later pick brown chantrelles to dry for winter stews, sauces etc to serve with game, and porcini and others to dry.
I usually have a big stack of newspapers saved up and scatter a single layer of well cleaned and sorted mushrooms by size and type on a paper and set it close to the radiators. Put another one on top 3 times a day and flip over (some get stuck, you need to change more often the first day or two. Thin ones like the chantrelles are shrivelled up and dry quickly, porcini I dice to 1cm size pieces so they dry quicker. I keep in double paper bags in a dark dry pantry,, after some time if I have very dry ones left I transfer to big jars.
If you have a good oven with fan you can use that to dry them, without heat.
The whole house smells like forest and mushrooms during the process (not for everyone but I don’t mind) and two things are important: don’t pick mushrooms in damp weather after the rain, and bring a proper mushroom knife to the forest with a brush on the back end; you cut off the wet bits, anything with wormholes, and most impprtantly the gills on the types of mushrooms where they aren’t eaten (like porcini with squishy pipe gills) as you go. This all insures you don’t have wet mushrooms piling up (which decomposes fast) and that the spores and mycellum is left in the forest so more will grow. I also use a basket to carry them in, good circulation of air protects their shape.
Different kinda grow in different areas, you learn to recognize these bu the trees, mosses, etc. It’s a lovely way to immerse into the forest with a friend or companion dog. And a jar of dried and gand picked porcini makes a marvelous holiday gift! I pick blueberries and lingonberries (like tiny cranberries) and freeze them too. And the first nettles of spring for nettle soup with deviled eggs.
@@nidhoggstrike my tip was for cooking this way, not dehydration for further storage, I’m sorry of that wasn’t clear.
Ok, I was today years old when I found out the 1st 3 mushrooms are all the same. Mind blown!
Ya it’s funny now that everything is so commodified criminis are more often “branded” as baby bellas with the price jacked up. Smh
Same
This video is mainly focused on commercially grown mushrooms. In Russia, we mostly gather mushrooms and eat different sorts, some of them mentioned as the specialty mushrooms. We separate them into classes, class I being the tastiest. My chanterelles are golden chanterelles (Class I), and there's a lot of them growing here, other valuable mushrooms here are brown cup boletus(class III), aspen mushrooms (class II), and the most desirable mushrooms are penny buns/porcini. Porchini are rare to find, but the lats year we succeeded to find quite amount, ate them and dried them. I personally prefer chanterelles to any other mushroom i ever tasted because they have the least slimy texture and very rich taste. The problem is, slugs and worms love porcini more than people do, so it's really rare to find an intact porchino. Morels grow in Russia as well, but they are even more rare than porchini and tend to gather poisonous chemicals from the environment inside, so they are considered "mushroom fan mushroom only". They are considered class III. Other "mushroom fan only" delicacies are Lactarius Resimus (really rare and best salted, I've seen it only once a lifetime, old and rotten) and Lactarius deliciosus (doesn't grow in my region; really rare - i only heard about that). They both are Class I and are mentioned in classic literature and poetry.
Fun fact: in my country crimini are sometimes marketed as "royal champinon" XD. Sometimes i buy them (any size) and fry in butter. I haven't seen portobellos before, though.
Fun fact II in northern Russia in Tundra mushrooms including class I and some others mentioned above, grow unbelievably huge. Plate-size caps, knee-high stems and really tasty, locals love that.
In Russia there's a lot of forests, and they are quite wet, so there's a lot of mushrooms and no restrictions on gathering and eating them at all.
Ok no one cares and mushroom grow in many places not just in your dare country
Sounds amazing. I think this video is focusing on mushrooms available for home cooks in the US. I guess better to give out concise info about what they know vs giving out sloppy info on things they’ve never experienced nor would be able to show? I realized this as I was writing but they are filming at their office in the US so they would only really have access to what they can get from nearby stores to use in the video. And like she prefaced, this is only a few out of thousands.
Thank you for adding this to the video, so interesting!! I would love to eat one of those big mushrooms
@@rachel705 XL mushrooms grow in tundras in Russia, Canada and Norway.
Here in the US pacific northwest, we share a handful of those types! Golden Chantelle, porcine, king and queen boletes, and many other goodies including truffles! We have a vibrant foraging community here, I'm lucky to be in a place with one
“Seasoned with love and Parmesan” is literally just a trip to my grandma’s house
LOVE AND PARMESAN could be the name of an modern romance book lol
When she said "porchinis are very hard to find" I was like: those literally grow 40 feet from my House in masses 😅 so appearantly Germany is a Porcini paradise
She talking about America
We're too lazy to venture into our forests. 😁
It's a big thing to go foraging for mushrooms, for every family. Feel like it's a bougie thing in the states
@@minisqui7103 isnt it illegal in most places?
@@kanchanchaudhary1973 Yeah depends. You can't forage in a national park in Germany or Poland. But everywhere else is pretty much fine, keeping the safety of choosing the right mushroom in mind of course
I don't know if I'm such a mushrooms guy or this lady really makes me feel like I just watched my first UA-cam video! Super interesting, I love her gentle sense of humor as well.
This woman and whoever edited this video are AMAZING. MORE PLEASE
how'd you guys find people like this, they are master on what they're doing and a great speaker
@Rose :3 you go where mushrooms grow to find mushroom experts!
the entire "every type of x/ how to prepare/cut/eat x" series is amazing, funny, informative, and well made. if it was all one host it would still be impressive but it's incredible how it's a different person every single time and the videos are all amazonh
I know I’m late but I had my first morel mushrooms yesterday. They were sautéed and the topping on butter linguini. So simple and perfect. Highly recommend trying them if possible
LINGUINE, not LINGUINI. This is what happens when America pronounces is wrong.
Pronounce LING-GWI-NAY, not NI.
@@mjremy2605levio SAAAA 😂
@@mythydamashii9978🤣
I had no idea morels were expensive!!! I hunt for and eat them just about every spring/summer with my family-we fry em :)
For me it's the same bit with porcini and chanterelle
I'd guess the reason those 3 are so expensive is because they can't be properly cultivated like button or oyster mushrooms.
Yo Sam situation here in Tennessee with ginseng, if you can collect enough you can find someone to buy it
We also do that! They are so good there better than the mushrooms you get at the grocery store
@@Eugene_TEC Even a lot of wild-found mushrooms are cheaper than morels. The thing with them is, they're generally only in their prime edible state for about one or two weeks of the year.
"seasoned with love and parmesan"
love that
One of the best cooking videos I’ve seen in a long time! She is so passionate about mushrooms I love it!
See, I didn't even know about the paper bag stuff. I usually only buy mushrooms when I need them (like specifically for a recipe). Thank you, Chef Adrienne.
Same my mom said "when you buy mushrooms make sure you use it right away or it will go bad" honestly never thought of the paper bag. So even after my family goes mushroom picking my parents would make soup with all the fresh mushroom right away lol. I love mushrooms but like you I only buy them when I want to make a dish with them
We have a big variety of mushrooms growing wild here in Russia, as well as the old and rich tradition of collecting and cooking them. BTW porcini and chanterelle are quite common. Chanterelles are awesome sauteed with some onions and sourcream sauce and porcinis are reeeally great for soups.
Just like how my family cooks them! They're really common in Bulgaria too!
Yeah as your neighbor from Finland I can totally relate
I agree, very common in Poland as well. I noticed, that a lot of information in their videos is specified for North America. Sometimes it sounds funny :P
Some is delicious some are deadly some are colorful if ate
Yeah I have seen loads of chanterelles where I live in the uk.
Beautiful and very useful video! Only thing, "portobello" means "nice harbour" in Italian, but the word for door is very similar to that, so understandable
Dried dongo (冬菇 in Chinese) can also be used for making broths and they have way more flavour than regular shiitake mushrooms.
Dried dongo powder can also be used to make make broths richer and my mom usually makes them with chicken feet and oyster sauce in a large pot.
They taste amazing too :D
thank you for sharing 👀
Chinese mums using them in soup, congee, and macaroni :D The best dish is 髮菜蠔豉燜冬菇 (Stewed dongo with fat choy and dried oyster)
But we don't really cut them to store them though.
So when is your mom having us all over for dinner because that sounds delicious!
ooo that sounds so good, ty for sharing~
that sounds so tasty! the collagen from the chicken feet must be really good for your skin.
I never understood why the go-to meat substitute was tofu. I find mushrooms to be much more enjoyable and versatile
Plus mushrooms have a way closer texture. Shake Shack makes a burger called "The Shroomburger" its a deep fried mushroom and cheese patty that's way better than most meat substitutes.
I always thought it was cuz they’re lower in protein
Eh. I love both. Meat, tofu, mushrooms are all delicious to me.
same, i dont really like tofu that much but i love mushrooms
mushrooms are my absolute fav meat substitute but tofu can be really delicious and versatile too! i think the problem is that a lot of people try to cook a block of tofu like they would a steak instead of treating it like its own ingredient. if you wanna try some really good tofu dishes and dont mind a little spice, id recommend you try mapo tofu or soondubu-jjigae!
That fried Maitake mushroom looked AMAZING, and sounded even better.
The best host you ever featured on this channel hands down, and I watch all your videos! This woman was absolutely adorable, passionate about her presentation and a delight to watch. 😊💞
id still give bread guy - Jim Lahey the win on this one.. but she was definitely very cool too

🍄❤️
Wonder if there's enough mushrooms for a part 2. Cuz I wanna know what I can make with Shimeji mushrooms since grocery stores near me are selling them.
Shimeji are most often used in miso soup, but can also be cooked in a variety of stir-fries. I'm lucky enough to live in Japan, and there actually quite a few verities of shimeji. It's not typical but I love to use them when i make Oyakodon (chinken and egg over rice) as its a really nice compliment and adds a nice extra texture to the dish. Great mushroom to use in a variety of dishes because of their mild taste and nice texture.
MatthewMammothswine thnx 👌 it's been driving me crazy always seeing them at my grocery store, but never finding any recipes that uses Shimeji. 😂
I pickle shimeji, rice vinegar : water : sugar(1:1:0.5), salt (pinch or more depending on how much pickling liquid you're making), black pepper and I suggest some cayenne pepper if you like spiciness and star anise is good as well.
Try Helen Rennie's recipe for mushroom farro risotto (ua-cam.com/video/pulZJOf0vUc/v-deo.html).
yeaa shimeji is great
I love how passionately she speaks about mushrooms! It's like a breeze of fresh air on a hot day.
This is one of the best hosts on this series, shes so fun to watch! Whoever did the editing on this deserves a raise, theyre the MVP of this episode, fantastic work
I want this woman to tell me everything about things she is passionate about! She seems so lovely and full of energy! More of her
I know I love this individual!
as a mushroom cultivator, i got very excited when i saw this and instantly started whispering the names of the mushrooms i saw in the intro
This is fun. I love mushrooms. Shiitake, Dried Shiitake, Enoki, Chanterelle, Morel, Swiss, Portobello, Button, Porcini, Black Fungus, Black Truffles, White Truffles, King Oyster, Oyster, Cordyceps.
We need more of Chef Adrienne ! her vibes are amazing .
I love this lady! She's just so charming and witty and made my love for mushrooms even deeper 😆 Please have her on these types of videos more often!
Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I was diagnosed with cptsd since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cptsd. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with similar health challenges.
mushrooms are one of my favourite foods specially the mushroom that goes with the gravy
Im polish and is during autumn main dish always ,perfect like a souse for perfect or deer meat
@Tanner im being serious in this comment
Check out @mycojims on Instagram to get some mushrooms,dmt,one up candy bar and others
I was hesitant about a 27 mins video about mushrooms, but thid was very entertaining and I learned a lot. We need to see this girl more often, she was great!
Last fall, I found a 10-pound head of maitake in my local park and I took that home, cleaned and shredded it, and ate stir-fried mushrooms and rice for a week. it tasted soo good! I even saved the thick stalk to use in soup stocks to add some extra omph to my bougie ramen. This experience singlehandedly kickstarted my mushroom foraging hobby, not gonna lie.
So jealous! Sycamore trees near my house sometimes have enormous beautiful maitake, but sadly they’re on a busy sidewalk-too close to dogs and car exhaust to be safe eating. 😭

I really like how she actually dared vouce the fact portobellos are a crap mushroom and just very well marketed :D
my grandma comes from a eastern european country and worked half her life as a mushroom collector for the state(s) of yugoslavia, and whenever a restaurant advertises portobellos anywhere she just leaves lol
for mushroom taste, there's just much better mushrooms, and for burger-patty-similarities, there's also a ton of better options, especially by now.
Man those first 3 shroom tbh they are overprice and idk why they are that popular they have no flavor what so ever
Where is your grandma from?
@@nikolabajceta2508 northern macedonia
@@chicuongvu1806 maybe you don't know the best way to cook them then?
Sear them like a steak and season well.
Put the tiniest but of butter or oil on top of mushroom once off the skillet.
But she never said they were crap mushrooms???
she is fantastic! I love how straightforward and passionate she is. Not like a wild tv personality, which is also fine, I just enjoy that she is like, here's the deal
I wish I was as excited about something like this lady is about mushrooms
This should get more likes!! I love the way she explain everything. So informative, calming and entertaining
Hey all, PNW mushroom forager here. Instead of cooking your mushrooms right away with oil, cook them initially with a tiny bit of water, THEN oil.Careful so the oil doesn't splash at you, but essentially, mushrooms can absorb a LOT of oil. Cooking in water seals up the inner pathways inside the mushroom. This way, the oil you use (I use salted butter) will end up coating the mushroom, rather than getting absorbed, leading to much more tender and flavourful mushrooms! Try it out!
Someone else in the PNW who wants to cook more mushrooms, but hasn't really tried yet. I could see this being true, but doesn't that lead to more splatter in the pan?
Great tip PNW...just saw a few of years last week (early wee hrs rabbit hole mind you. But DID enjoy !! :) AND... Being a foodie... Great tip. Will be trying soon. Thx !
@@isaiahdaniels5643 it leads to less, you just have to dry them off well

Chef Adrienne is the most likeable watchable presenter of food I’ve seen yet. I learned a ton and can’t wait to try her recipes! I love her enthusiasm and comfort in front of the camera. Get her a show!
Oh my gosh, I didn't even recognize her, she was on Top Chef and did very well! Second place. She changed her hair and looks so different!
I thought her voice sounded familiar
I thought this was an old video. I am so hyped. Morels are GLORIOUS. I wish they had focused on them a little more. Truffles get so much attention.
She seems to chill and passionate and fun. I forgot that she's also a full serious chef. It took her talking about a restaurant she worked at retaining 3 Michelin stars to remind me lol.

Darlin' - You are just about the most charming "host" I have ever experienced, especially with the slight seasoning of curse words! Adds so much umami to this overall feast of fantastic fungi! Thank you!
Excellent, I would love to watch her no only expand this but help us learn about other foods too. She should be a professor. Entertaining and keeps one focused. Her presentation and demeanor is superb.
Here in Europe we pick mostly Porcini, because they are the best, usually in spring and autumn. In a particularly rainy period there is some chanterelles. I think the Porcini are called that because wild boars love them!
I found this recipe online for maitake: mix soaked wakame seaweed (available dried at Asian grocery stores) with butter, then dab that all over the mushroom and roast it in the oven. Freakin' delicious. A real umami whammy!
I love Adrienne. She was amazing on her season of TC and an absolute badass. Was pleasantly surprised to see her doing this video because I also LOVE mushrooms and this was very educational.
She is an enthusiastic and great instructor! I learned a lot and am insipired to recreate her recipes!

I've micro-dosed shrooms for about 6 months now and it has really helped my anxiety and depression. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Maitake is my absolute favorite. It's great cooked with a little bit of butter and orzo too. It lets the maitake flavor the orzo with that nice, delicate, nutty taste. I never thought of frying it though! That looks so tasty!
