It's still mushroom season here in the Pacific Northwest! Join me as I find candy caps (Lactarius rubidus), bellybutton hedgehogs (Hydnum umbilicatum), chanterelles (Cantharellus formosus), and a bunch of other cool species. I was hunting in mainly Douglas fir at an elevation of about 1500'. Despite the rain it was a lot of fun!
My gear in this video:
Opinel Couteau Champignons (mushroom knife)
Timex Ironman Classic 30
Some mushroom safety items:
1. Never eat a mushroom unless you are absolutely certain of its identity. If in doubt, throw it out!
2. Mushroom hunters have a tendency to get lost. It can be easy to get excited about finding mushrooms, get distracted, and suddenly realize you're lost! Keep track of your bearings, and if you're hunting in an area where you get reception bring your cell phone and make sure it's charged.
3. I have come across some sketchy people out in the woods. As always, be aware of your surroundings. At the very least I always carry my knife for self defense.
I hope you enjoy the video! If you have any comments or suggestions, just leave a comment below.
