I just moved to Maine, just read about this mushroom online, and my first day out I practically stumbled on it!! Couldn't be luckier or happier. On to the the cooking and eating part. Loved your video.

Obviously informative. Also, pretty easy to watch and listen to somebody who is this intelligent *and* adorable.

+Bodacious Wonk You're Welcome! So glad you're enjoying them :)

Please do more of your videos. They are wonderful.

You are so lucky to live in a place like that. We have plenty of cool mushrooms down in east Texas where it's quite humid, combined with multiple trees, but for 3 months its wayyy too cold, and in the summer its generally too hot until we get to august. I actually just got into mushroom hunting recently and you've been a great help in my growing knowledge of them.

Oh my word! That little guy was so cute sitting there on his log. Nom Nom. Loved this video a lot. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! (Yes, two months later I'm catching up on comments...ha) But I wanted to mention, that little guy, I actually had seen it a week earlier and it was just emerging-about the size of the quarter. So he had grown up quite a bit since I'd last seen him :)

A "no-brainer" mushroom that heals the brain. The forest contains all the medicine we need... God is good.

These videos are great -- very informative -- and Elanor is beyond charismatic!

You're awesome :). Keep on picking, please never lose this hobby and share it with everyone :D!

Great video! My partner and I found some of this in the forest the other day and admired it, then realised how sought-after it was as an edible, we just went back to the forest at 8pm in the dark and -5c temperature to retrieve it.. haha. Subscribed too, your channel is great. Ash, Australia.

I'm a Japanese mushroom hunter and I'm a little surprised to know some US people enjoying Matsutake. As you know it is sold at high price such as 30 to 100USD per 100g. I know there are a little different(whitish and weak smell) but much more Matsutake in US than Janan. But I have assumed it is ignored because of the smell. I thought It marries Japanese taste and dishes but only Japanese like it. I like all the wild mushrooms and now we are having the season of Morel and Rhodophyllus clypeatus(plum mushroom) here. I hope I could visit US to enjoy wild mushrooms some day after my retirement. Is it possible to visit the forest for a foreign travelar?

Thanks for this! Inspired me to go out mushroom hunting for the first time yesterday. I'm in N. FL it's a little drier and not the mushroom paradise you are in. Wandered around for a couple hours with nothing to show for it except a few tiny puff balls and dried up tree mushrooms. Then, on the last part of the last path, found a small Lion's Mane, then a large one. A bit firmer than lobster, but delicious. Thought I felt a beneficial mental effect, but not as dramatic as the ones I grow in the 1/2 pint jars. Hope that wasn't just luck, will definitely go out again.

David Dahl there are several mushrooms that are REALLY easy to identify. Chanterelles are yellow with false gills. Hericium has NO look alikes. Chicken of the Woods have no look alikes. Lobsters are super easy. It really comes down to doing a little research. I've been foraging morels since I was 5. I've been hunting EVERYTHING else for 5 years now, all because I tried a chicken of the woods, and have been buying identification and cultivation books ever since. I'm now certified in identification and licensed to sell wild mushrooms to commercial establishments in the state of Minnesota. If learning about what nature provides for free food, I would say KEEP ON IT! MUSHROOMS ARE AMAZING!!!

That is so beautiful and kool just looking at it.

Just watched your video after finding what we figured was Bears head fungus to make sure this was the same thing, and after hearing it had no poisonous look alike, and tasted like crab meat, I had to try it and was amazed of how much it does taste like crab meat. I don't remember ever seeing this kind of mushroom and now we have a full dead gray birch with big clumps of this fantastic mushroom which just became my favorite ! Thanks

Dry the cap on that Matzutaki and make a tea. yum

Awesome! 9:30 Lions Mane sold as a nootropic supplement. I've been going out picking bags of mushrooms every day because it's been raining constantly! Just boletes of course, that's all we pick, My wife came from Russia and we've been married 15 years and I'm finally picking mushrooms and not feeling like I need her to inspect whatever I pick. I really appreciate your video, if only there were more people out there (like you) but then again I would have a really tough time mushroom hunting! Russians are my biggest mushroom hunting enemies and friends!

Thanks for presenting this to me. As a european i don´t know this particular one, but i had (and have) an almost spiritual connection to hericium coralloides. Looks veeeery similar, the taste and the benefits from it are incredible, maybe better than the incredible lion's mane.

I am trying my hand at growing Morels. Here in the Pacific Northwest we have all kinds of Mushrooms growing in the woods.

Thank you for awesome sharing....
