I live in a hickory forest on a north facing slope. The mushrooms are my favorite part of my backyard. The Chanterelles are still a few weeks away....but they are my favorite. The best part about them is that they always appear in generally the same location, so I don't have to hunt them, I just go gather them. They're relatively slow growing so I try to wait until they ruffle. The younger ones with the button tops are easier to clean, but I just give them a dry brush with a soft bristled bamboo toothbrush, and once you add a little pepper you can just pretend any dirt specs are pepper...lol.

Ah, same, love this! My grandma used to say "it's clean dirt"!

The last tip was the best tip. Im an avid angler, so being outdoors is what I love. Everywhere I fished i'd see mushrooms, so i started taking pictures, then started educating myself on the edibles. Thank you.

Hi Adam🌎☀️💙…it really does take determination and a will to find these little guys. I have determined they are the introverts of nature…they are all hiding…but that is what I love about mushrooming. Every time I find one my body gets an over all excitement 🌎☀️💙

I'm never disappointed with your well thought out and produced content. Adam: "You want to find mushrooms? Go hunting out trout fishing." 😂

Thanks Adam! I never thought of it, but it makes perfect sense that a dead tree can't mushrooms forever.

Always a great day when there is a new LYL video! I'm gonna go for a walk now and see what's out there!

Great timing and great lessons as always

Hi Adam! Thank you for all of the knowledge that you share.

Those are nice tips. Tip 5 is a great one that reminds us all there's a lot going on out there, not just mushrooms. Under the "microclimate" tip, I go to Fog. That's anywhere that collects moist air, especially at night. That can be fallen logs covered in ferns, the areas deep in a stream holler, logs hanging out over a riverbank, and along a coastline. I also use my own Tip #6: Learn to enjoy the beauty of crust fungus and brackets. They are always around! That includes the little Splitgill mushroom (Schizophyllum commune) that is often still good to harvest and cook, even when it's bone dry!

@@nickparker5200 It's great. I slow roast several cups of them in a casserole dish in the oven with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, for a few hours. Then I add BBQ sauce for another hour. It's like pulled pork, Really, really good. Here in the Pacific Northwest, I like to pair that with another wintertime favorite, grilled or sauteed Floccularia albolanaripes, because they taste like sweet corn. Then you have a summer BBQ dinner in the middle of winter!

Wow Adam you just blew me away with the info on north facing vs. south facing slopes. Thank you!

I've recently become fascinated by mushrooms which is how I found your videos. I learn so much from you. I never thought about north vs south facing slopes and the different conditions they endure. Seems like a duh moment now but very useful to know.

Thanks for sharing the precipitation webtool. I've been watching weather reports for an area in Colorado where my cousin and I will be camping next week. I didn't realize I could get the actual precipitation levels from the national weather service, lol. 2 years ago we found some Hawks Wing (Sarcodon imbricatus) but didn't know what it was at the time. Now we both know a lot more about the various mushrooms found in the Rockies and want to check the same area again. Happy foraging ✌️

Adam I think you’re absolutely brilliant. I’ve learned so much from you! I own 25 acres of forest and fields in Southwestern PA near Ohiopyle State Park. You’re welcome to visit anytime! Let’s take a walk around the woods.

Love your content! I have property in south central Pa. and everything you show looks just like my property! Stream and all. I may have to hire you soon to help me survey what’s really there. Thank you for years of education!

You're right about not looking. I find mushrooms and other wild trail side snacks all the time while playing disc golf and other outdoor activities.

My sister moved to North Carolina and at some point we're going to walk the property to see what's growing in them woods. She's got a nice sized little chunk of land that's mostly straight up forest, but it's all on this wicked angle so the house and small yard/garden are on a flat spot and the driveway is pretty darn steep. Exploring that is going to be interesting and I look forward to the adventure. Going to be looking for mushrooms and identifying trees and hunting invasive plants to rip out. Would love to turn that into a native food forest.

Greetings to you!!🌳🏞️🌲🪴

My favorite way to not look for mushrooms is trail running and hiking. I need to go easy enough that I am taking in my surroundings thoroughly, but I still cover a lot of ground and see a lot.

We've been doing a lot of foraging around Derry, PA. We found a few spots that stay nice and damp and shady almost all the time. It's a true wonderland for mushrooms. Thank you for the videos.

I like tip number 5. I spend a lot of time in the woods because my town is surrounded be woodlands and though I pick a lot of mushrooms, I don't want to limit my hikes to single purpose activities. The trees themselves are equally attractive me and the rocks and the flora and the surprise moments.

#5 !! My brother and I had an epic adventure and found pounds of morels in a new spot when we’re were fishing. Amazing insight

Awesome, informative post 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

My favorite way to “not” look for mushrooms is trail running. I always spot the coolest fungi on my long runs! I’ll start paying better attention to what direction the slope I’m on is facing. Great tip!

Found a bunch of Black Trumpet while hunting. Made the day better as it was the only interesting thing I saw in the woods that day.

We really like your presentation and the great information you are presenting.

We are in a moderate drought right now with short and long term issues here in the mid Atlantic. We are starting to get rain. We have been finding and ID some things.

Thanks Adam. I've been a mushroom enthusiast for about 8 yrs and much of my meager knowledge comes from watching your videos (sometimes over and over). I appreciate your knowledge and am thankful that you share your knowledge. You lost me for a couple years with your Pay-to-Learn approach. I hope that is fruitful for you but i appreciate this video.

I love tip #5🙌...amazing shots...what a cutie @5:48 it's too much 🥹

I went for a quick drive last night after work. I found 1 good reishi on a downed hemlock. I also found a nice flush of ginseng... That spot already has an X on my map of gems. Its pretty dry where I'm at.

I love the cut brotha❤

Haha "don't look for mushrooms". That's a surprisingly really good tip. Just get out and wander around works well.

One tip I learned awhile back was look UP as well as downward.....I have found nice lion's mane I ordinarily would have never seen with my eyes glued to the forest floor.

I started finding them dog walking. A great way to thicken out the activity

Always great vids, thanks, was wondering how the wildfires up north effect mushrooms here in northeast?

another sexy video with information too! can you do a video showing how you wash different mushrooms before consuming? some I heard you have to soak in salt water

We have chanterelles & several other varieties of mushrooms in our area here in Missouri, we are seeing fewer mushrooms due to the dry weather.

All of my coolest mushroom finds happened when I was NOT hunting mushrooms. It's as if they know and just want to mess with me, haha!

I’d love to see you do a video on Amanita jacksonii … 3:22

"Don't look for them." I found a nice chanterelle stash when I. had STOPPED looking for mushrooms. Sometimes that happens

Hi Adam I'm wondering if you have ever found the Gomphus clavatus? I don't really know what English people really call them. But I found some today, and them seemed so delicious and beautiful color. If turns darker when you boil them. They said to boil them and change water bc it's kinda rare finding them. I don't know why but the first time I saw them, I was wondering wow they look so pretty and kinda yummy. Ofc I took 1 sample and researched like crazy and I was so happy it was edible and went back to collect more and try. I haven't eaten it yet, bc it's almost midnight.

Question for you. I got a skin burn on my foot on top of arch through my sock. I walked into a weeded spot on edge of my yard near a river. At first I saw spots of bleeding and burning. Then blistering, then a dark spot a little bigger than a quarter. Any idea what can do this?

Your signs and symptoms are quite varied, and it wasn’t clear as to whether this was a progression of the same spot or different areas of the skin. However, my thought was perhaps a blister beetle. Or, perhaps something bit you and you didn’t realize it and only saw the outcome.

Are the mushrooms in the title screen lobster mushrooms?

@shadowcult464

@@marcelluche1851 Sir: lobster mushrooms are a complex symbiotic organism that taste of seafood and is lobster red. I only saw the title frame and asked the question. There are many varieties of lobster mushroom because there are several different species of mushrooms which have several different species of fungus that can grow upon the surface of the different mushrooms. It is more so a strategy i think, than a family. Some lobster mushrooms are yummy and some are fatal. I have seen them in the wild but because they are so diverse there is only a little information and mostly thru reginal surveys by botanist or nature protectors.

I KNEW IT!!!!!! I KNEW THESE WOODS LOOKED FAMILIAR!!!!!! THIS IS IN MY BACK YARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You use the phrase "choice edible mushroom" often, but I cannot find a definition. Is there a definition?

A mushroom walked into a bar and the bartender said, “I’m sorry but I can’t serve you.” The mushroom responded, “Why not? I’m a fungi.”

IL has been super dry so far. All our grass is dead.

Be careful on south facing slopes in the summertime. Snakes hang out there.
