A mushroom expert friend of mine took me out on my prairie in Nebraska and we found three edibles, and others she wasn't confident we could identify without spore prints. What I learned from two hikes with my friend is that a video such as this, with all the glorious photos, is absolutely NOT enough education about edible vs. poisonous mushrooms. So, to the newbies, a word of caution, there is a LOT to learn about mushrooms before you start trying to match up pictures to what you see in nature, harvest and eat. Get a good book first, study, learn, find an expert to teach you. Go slow, and always err on the side of caution.

Very good advice. I would add. If you are picking in a group , do not allow anyone to put anything in your container unless you look at it carefully. And do not consume a mushroom that your "teacher "will not eat even when they say it is good.

I just started studying mycology a few months ago! I wouldn’t dare eat anything until I have at least a year of studying under my belt! I’m not afraid of getting sick I just don’t want to see any dragons!

You're awesome man. I found some mushrooms on a dead log and normally I can just Google something and find out what it is relatively easily, but I was struggling with these. Found some elm oysters and your video helped me id them.

Wonderful! Excellent video with serenely understated music bed! Sincere thanks for this one!

Chris nice little slide show of sh rooms, does Flithy Ritches have you locked down? some little videos of correct identification of some of those shrooms would be nice, especially with the one's where there's a few types of that variety, especially the capped mushrooms, I know lot of other folks could use that information as myself, I'm getting better @ identifying a lot of the capped one's better, but still nervous over picking a lot of those, hoping the fall shrooms still do good here in MO with some rain, they were starting to come up good, then we dried out, hoping they will do like the chanterelles did the end of summer

That's a great video 👍

I really enjoy mushrooms! Mycology, how little experience I have. This video is great!

To start with the toxic Jack-o-lanterns look much like the deliciously edible Chanterelles, but... (1)The Jack-o-lanterns grow in big tight colonies, while the Chanterelles grow singly or at the most in groups of usually no more than 4 or 5. (2)Jack-o-lanterns have delicate gills which descend down the stem, while Chanterelles have thicker, tougher ridges which descend down the stem. (3)Jack-o-lanterns glow in the dark and have a little dome in the middle of the cap, while Chanterelles do not. (4)Jack-o-lanterns' inner flesh is orange, while Chanterelles' inner flesh is white.

Please don't just pick mushrooms and eat them if they look like the ones in the picture. There are manypoisinous look alikes that are sometimes impossible to tell apart from edible one. Even experts at times have difficulty identifying lookalikes so spore prints are taken for proper identification. This video is misleading and dangerous. Eating the wrong mushroom could cause serious organ damage or failure or possible even death.

Thank you I love mushrooms 🍄

that was a beautiful video, and since im new, I learned a lot in a real short amount of time! Thank you Chris Matherly, for teaching me that there is more to mushrooms than the snow caps I get from the supermarket! I don't think the average person would think there are so many different types of them out there. it doesn't say where these mushrooms came from generally, but it would be nice to know, and the time of year they were found also?? I have no idea where to look or when, and im just finding out about Morels and where they are. I lived most of my life in WNY, and no one has ever mentioned a word about mushrooms! great job on the video! its the poisonous ones I worry about ! those the ones I need to know about, so I don't die!

Every different climate is different. My best suggestion is to look up your local mycology group enjoying it. Usually it's only 20 bucks a year to join in most areas. You will meet for mushroom hunting with elderly people that will teach you everything. It's good to learn about mushrooms like this because you will learn very fast and also the socialization is good for the health of humans.

Fly Agaric Amanitas(amanita muscaria) are edible, yet acts as a hallucinogen due to being poisonous, there is no psilocybin in it. It has been used for millennia in religious rituals and is still used today in Siberia as an intoxicants. Also can be a great fly trap when crumbled in milk.

Well it just so happens that some of the choicest edibles are also great beginner mushrooms. Learn which grow most prolifically in your area, and learn to ID them one species at a time, what they grow from, and what plants they associate themselves with. More importantly, learn how to ID all the poisonous, similar looking ones, so you know which features to be on the look-out for. Good (delicious, and easy to ID) beginner mushrooms to get you started: *Chanterelles* - easy to ID. Sometimes confused with poisonous Jack-o-Lanterns, and there's no good excuse for that. *Cauliflower mushroom* - no mistaking them, really. There are no look-alikes. *Chicken of the Woods* - no mistaking these either. Delicious! Cook thoroughly, and eat only the outer 2 inches of the cap of younger specimens. They become tough and inedible with age. They're hard to digest and cause stomach upset in some individuals as many fungi that grow on wood do. Eat just a small amount for your first time. *Hedgehogs* - arguably the best beginner mushroom of all; an easy to ID toothed mushroom. One of my faves, although a bit scarce in my area. There are no poisonous toothed mushrooms. If it has little spines as a spore bearing surface (instead of gills or pores), it can't harm you. Many toothed mushrooms are _inedible,_ mind you. *Morels* - delicious, hard to spot, spring mushroom. Easy to ID. Requires thorough cooking to neutralize toxins. May cause gastro-intestinal upset in some individuals (but hey, they're gourmet!). There are a few poisonous false morel species, but are easily distinguishable. I won't list White Matsutake (pine mushroom) as a beginner species. Until you've held them, squeezed them, & smelled them in both button and mature form, they can be confused with quite a variety of other white mushrooms, including a couple of deadly ones. If you're in the PNW, drop by a mushroom buyer _now_ and ask to examine some. SMELL them, and smell deeply. You should notice the aroma of cinnamon candies (cinnamon hearts, hot tamales, Big Red gum) amongst the other earthy, fungusy smells. Pay attention to how rock-solid firm they are, the cap colour like a toasted marshmallow, and the *tapered stalk* with the *ash grey, podzolic soil on the tip.* (Yes, the dirt colour is a key feature). Grasp the stem in your fist, and give it a good hard squeeze. If it crushes in your hand, it either has bugs, or it's not a pine mushroom. Feel free to fire questions at me. I've been hunting mushrooms on Vancouver Island for 30 years. If you're not in the PNW, I may not be of great help, but I still know a thing or two.

Thank you 👍👍👍v.v.v-nice

北美的猴头菇(Lion’s Mane mushroom狮鬃菇，大胡子牙菇 )与熊头菇(Bear’s Head mushroo)，先上英文介绍：Botanically known as Hericium americanum, the Bear’s Head mushroom is a North America Hericium species. Bear’s Head mushroom is also known as the Bear’s-head Tooth fungus, or Pom Pom mushroom. It can often be mistaken for one of its sibling species, the Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), which grows throughout Asia and in the United States. The difference between the two is very slight, primarily ecological and the presence of a branched fruiting body in the mature americanum species and the lack thereof in the erinaceus species. Bear’s Head mushrooms can be found in the wild and can also be cultivated. 这两种野生菇都是蘑菇佳品，同属Hericium真菌属，珊瑚菌属(又叫猬菌属，牙菌属，鸡枞菌属，猴头菌属)。它们实际上不止两个种，而是至少六种白色珊瑚菌的混称。 猴头菌属或者珊瑚菌属是一个形态整洁优美的食用菌属，有着许多美丽可口的蘑菇，除了六种猴头菌之外，还有其它颜色形态各异的菌类，如鸡枞菌，黄珊瑚菌等等，是蘑菇中的树状种类。猴头菇通常特指菌体整齐，呈完整球状的Hericium erinaceus，熊头菇则为比较松散的珊瑚状，通常是Hericium americanum or H. coralloides, H. abietis这三种真菌之一。它们有时甚至没有牙毛菌体，但是都为白色美味蘑菇。具体形状几乎只能通过图片表示。In 2004, the phylogenetic relationships of Hericium species were analysed by comparing the rDNA internal transcribed spacer sequences of H. abietis, H. alpestre, H. americanum, H. coralloides, H. erinaceum, H. erinaceus and H. laciniatum. This analysis separated H. erinaceum from the six other Hericium species, and showed that H. erinaceus, H. abietis, H. americanum, and H. coralloides are closely related each to other but genetically diverged from H. alpestre and H. laciniatum.

Like cocowood2316 says, you should just stick to psilocybin mushrooms if you're trying to get high. The effects are more plesent to literaly every person I've ever heard of who's tried both. Also you could literaly eat pounds and pounds of dried psilocybin mushrooms and not die. You may cause psychological trauma at such extreme doses for sure but as long as you have people around who can make sure you're not jumping out of any windows you won't die. It might feel like you did for a few hours though.
