Haha this video was uploaded the very same day I found my first matsutakes! Found about a pound of them during a casual mushroom walk on the Oregon coast - a very pleasant surprise to say the least. And I definitely wouldn't have recognized those little white mounds poking out of the ground if I hadn't watched some of your previous videos where you found some matsutake. Your content has really helped me finally make the jump into foraging that I've been wanting to make for a couple years now!

Hi , Im a forager in NY . I am astounded by the amount of pisonous to deadly mushrooms here . WTF - figures . Maybe mushrooms are an identity of the people in the area as well ?? But seriously - is it more focused in this area ? Seems 50% Id as highly toxic :(
@nickwhite2569
10 ай бұрын
This is more or less just how it is in the Fungi kingdom. Only about 2% of mushrooms are toxic, but also, only about 4% of mushrooms are edible. Many are just unpalatable, or too tough to eat, and many mushrooms have an edibility that is unknown! It also greatly depends on the season. Here in Indiana, during the spring, there aren't alot of edible mushrooms out and about (except for morels and Pheasants back) but the amanitas and hypheloma are plentiful! However, in the fall we get Chicken, Hens, Shrimps, Oysters, Chanterelles, Black Trumpets, Enochi, Lobsters, Lions Mane, Puffballs and MANY MANY more.

What does it take to host chanterelle mycelium and is it practical to get it started in my back yard?

Does collecting matsutake as #1’s before they have a chance to open and spread their spores cause an issue with propagating? I am assuming maybe not since you are finding them in the same area year after year but I’m wondering if that is what makes them so rare. Just curious. I really enjoy your channel Aaron, excellent content and information for a beginner like me. Thanks!

No not really, it's almost as if the mushrooms will find the Sandy deposits.. It doesn't have to be especially sandy soil in my experience.

Lactarius deliciosus and similars (L. sanguifluus and L. vinosus) are the most sought after mushrooms in Catalonia (they go under the name rovellons). They are normally cooked on the grill (bbq) or in the oven with extravirgin olive oil, parsley, garlic, and salt.

Love your videos. We're more familiar with identifying Chanterelles, Matsutake and Morels on our hunts, but it seems that we're passing up a lot of other edibles. Probably like everyone else, I need to find a Matsutake patch closer to the home. Our best patch ~4 hours away 🙁

Hey Aaron, thanks for the videos! Can you tell us when you filmed this? I’m trying to dial in the associations between the weather/season and the appearance of these mushrooms here in the PNW, but it’s hard to tease out the differences caused by elevation and latitude between the Puget Sound and where I’m at in Oregon. Knowing the date would help a ton!

Dewd the cold invigorates the mycelium and then the mushrooms will pop. Pines need cold and wet and generally pop after the chantrelles. I reckon they need a certain number chill days before popping. After a couple week seasons on the west coast the mycelium got pent up like no nut November and so this year the pines are exploding in their patches

I was excited to get my commercial matsutake permit ($250/person with 100 permits allowed for the forest I purchased in). It took one harvest to run into a shirtless tweaker with a 4 foot combat knife asking where I snuck in to the forest to collect. Later that day, I sold my beautiful matsutakes for $1 - $6 per pound to a buyer. Pines/matsutake commercial collecting is glorified can collecting. My recommendation: don't collect them for commercial purposes. No one enforces permit use, and it's a dangerous game for transients. Keep these treasures for personal use

My mushroom book says the lactarius deliciosus is often too mealy to be very desirable. Idk if it's true, but they don't look particularly appealing to me either. Mushroom season is still taking off on the northern California/southern Oregon cost. Golden chanterelles are abundant and getting huge, still finding occasional porcini. Hedgehogs, winter chanterelles, and candy caps just starting to pop up (really the lactarius family in general is barely popping up). Oysters galore. Always love the videos, thanks for putting in the work to spread the knowledge and joy of mushroom hunting.

We were in search of these in the Siuslaw National forest today. Came up empty-handed; however we did find oysters (many past their prime) and an interesting "lobster" mushroom. Not 100% sure it was as we found it growing on the side of a downed log. It's color is that of the lobster, but it was more of a "shelf" mushroom. I found some a few weeks ago and it was more of a stem mushroom with the ocean/fishy smell. This one found today didn't have that distinct smell and the underside was yellow. Thoughts on what it could be?
