Ya me too. I'm just across the border in Ohio. This dude made me aware that Reishi mushrooms were here in our area. I thought they were only in Asia and the ones I seen her were some false look alikes. Adam is an excellent man of nature. Not too many people in our area are into nature or hiking or herbal medicine. The industrial culture of western Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio has made most people here hostile or oblivious to our forests. That is why we have so many fat and dull minded people in our midst. Be well my friend✊

Thanks Adam!

Just wanted to say I love the emails from Learn Your Land!

I love your focus on sustainability and conservation.

No one has helped me adapt to life in pa more than you. Thank you so much. I can't say enough to show my appreciation for all you have taught me.

Not sure if I have ever commented on any of your videos but you have helped me a lot with my knowledge of wild edibles. Our family now forages a wide variety of different edibles in all season here in michigan!!!

Great video Adam!

"what else have we been stepping on" indeed! It's crazy how much the average outdoors person like me doesn't know about the world at our feet!

We love you Adam. Thank you so much for the wonderful shows. 💗

Upon hearing your voice over my laptop my partener said, "Hey, isn't that the forager you wanted to adopt?" Indeed it is LOL! Another great video, I can't wait to see if I can find this little gem. Happy spring hunting Adam thanks again!

Wow! Thanks Adam 😊 I grew up in PA and this looks vaguely familiar. I'm hunkered down in NB now though and I think it's one of the places it doesn't grow. Maybe a little spring trip to that one spot in Nova Scotia is in the near future😜

Thank you so much for sharing Adam. I always enjoy your videos. Make it a great day!

I went out to my woods after watching this video, and you are correct! I have been walking right over it! I picked one and ate it, and it's kind of sweet. I like it. I think I'll add it to some salad soon! Thanks.

Well I guess I'm one of those… I've never heard of it either. Thank you so much hon😁💙

I watched this this morning and said I never saw that plant before. Then walked out to my back yard and THERE IT WAS! Thanks!

Lovely video, Adam! I adore the spring ephemerals and go out to photograph them every stinking year! I will now be looking for some tasty false mermaidweed! ❤️

Always a joy to get notified about a new video from Adam. Thanks for being a beautiful human who shares informative and helpful info

Another rocking video. Please keep ‘em coming. Thank you.

This plant actually appears to be named after a German botanist, and I’d never heard of it before - thanks a lot for the interesting introduction! Much love from Stuttgart

I've been walking over this for years and only ever noticed them yesterday after watching your video.

For me, my favorite edible plant is wood sorrel. I especially like the seed pods. I showed it to my daughter at an early age. She became a nature lover on our walks together.

Thanks, Adam, I always appreciate your shared experiences and knowledge!

So, does everyone that meets you in the woods to forage Very cute

Couldn't help but notice the Garlic Mustard in the background over your shoulder 😀

Right on Adam, happy to see them on the map in Nova Scotia. Will be keeping an eye out for them now. Thank you!

Never heard of it until now. I have seen it in the woods in PA outside of Oil City and in the woods near my home in OH. Thank you for education.

Feeding the KZread algorithm. Informative video. Thanks.

Very pretty! Reminds me a bit of cleavers (gallium aparine) which grows here in MN during early spring. 🌿

I just found a plant that looks nearly identical to cleavers having the same leaf crown-like formations evenly spaced up the stem. The leaves are a little wider and it doesn't sport the micro hooks that cleavers do.

This was really nice. Even though I don't see that it grows where I live , I like the fact that you included the map. I hope your post more on wild edible plants. Thank you!

I would LOVE to see some videos on how to prepare harvests for medicinal use. Thank you.

Excellent video Adam! Never heard of Mermaidweed before now. Thanks for pointing it out! 👍👍

I have lots of sycamore on my property in southern Ohio...I'll keep an eye out for it! THANKS!

Always enjoy and Learn from your excellent vids.THANK you,Many Blessings

Trail side nibbles - that’s hilarious! Well, I will say that I did try nibbling on some tiny new dandelion leaves the other day when I was out and about, and it was actually quite delicious. I’ll be harvesting some when they get bigger and try it in a salad.

It’s so lovely. Thank you for pointing it out! Would you consider discussing a Japanese Knotweed?

Can't wait to add this to the repertoire!

Unfortunately, I seem to live in one of the few places this doesn't occur--Missouri. It's appearance reminds me of both cleavers and chickweed (sort of a cross between them) which we do have, although neither of those has the peppery spiciness you mentioned. I am sure I would enjoy it if I had the opportunity to try it.

If you like that peppery flavor, check to see if you have Cardamine hirsuta instead. It's one of my favorite trail snacks.

Alright! Something new to search for. Thanks Adam.

Very interesting thank you for posting this

I always look forward to what new tidbit of wild forestry information you post. I live in Lake Michigan area and I’ll be on the lookout for False Mermaid weed. Another great post. 😊

Thank you!! Please share your videos more often. I learn so much from you ❤❤❤

So good to see you foraging first in line first time❣ You're knowledge is amazing & every day is a learning day when you're on❣ Thank you for sharing your expertise ❣

Very cool! Going to go out and see if I can find some. Seems to me I have seen it before, and walked right past it, as you said.

Thanks for the video Adam! You inspire me to learn more every day!

What a wonderful treat to watch your stunning video on such an amazing tiny beautiful plant. I always feel that I am right there with you while the birds are singing as you explain another treasure in nature. You are really helping me to slow down and look more closely on my walks in the woods! It sure must take a lot of work to get such great video footage especially the close ups and to take everything and edit it so nicely to give many of us our first look at the false mermaid weed. Thanks Adam.

Radish micro greens are my favorite and there is a dot on the map right on top of where I live in Montana! Thanks Adam!

Great video! Glad to see you again!

Thank you Adam! 💚

Nice episode! Loved the sneak peak of the wood duck. My may flowers are numerous as are the trilium this spring here in NE Ohio.

So good to hear you talk about plants again.. not just mushrooms.. Usually you tell use the benefits of the plant or herb I'm working while listening could have missed it, but I didn't hear benefits of these?

I was really hoping you could do a video about fiddlehead ferns identification and preparation. I keep seeing so many kinds in the woods, and your wisdom and knowledge on the subject would be truly appreciated!

I'm so glad. I love your work

TY so much for the informative vid!!

Awesome video as always! Ever since I started researching mushrooms, I started paying more attention to all the little details in the forests. There is such a fascinating little world all around us on the forest flloor.

Awesome Adam! I’m definitely one of those foragers who did not know this one existed. I’m just about to step out into my floodplain foraging spot so, I’ll be looking for it!🙏🙏

As always, good Stuff Adam. Thanks Man.

You're right. I never heard if it but it is considered rare here in Nova Scotia. As luck would have it, though, there is supposed to be some in my area. Will have to go look. :-)

That's cool! I have a lot of different flowers here on this 3 acres that I don't know what they are. I will go looking for this one as I make flower essences and I will test this out to see what emotion is heals. I DO have pink lady slippers growing again this year!

Cool stuff Adam.

Loved the video! Loved the last few comments that you expressed so well. Thank you so much!💕

Thank you! I will have to look for this on my walks. I live in Pa low lands, along a creek, so I should be able to find some.

Awesome video brother! 🌱As always, much much love, respect & gratitude❣️🤗

Thanks again for sharing valuable information, Adam!!

Interesting, this is the first time I've heard of this one. I probably won't be foraging it since it's not common in Washington State but if I ever come across it, I'll definitely take a nibble!

I will search here in Springfield, Missouri. I hope we have them here.

Once again thank you 😊

This is one of my favorite wild edibles and it grows right in my back yard. 😁

I just found a large population of this species in my back woods in Cecil Township after watching. They do taste good.

Adam as always your vids are amazing and engaging!

I will be looking for these next spring. Keep up the great work.

....as always very cool and interesting,thx for sharing...!

I don't know if I have ever seen this plant but I will look for it because I'm in a wetter area now I'm in northern Ontario I'm in the zone so I will look for it I notice many different plants but some skip my attention I'm certain of this lol

Hello from the Green Party of Allegheny County! (The 2022 GPoAC Chair also lives in Allison Park, BTW.) I'm loving your videos! 💚

Thanks for the awareness on this

Found the False Mermaid in my garden yesterday, now I know the name. Thanks. ONe is not enough for a salad. I'll wait for seeds and strew them around. TIny TINY TINY flowers Less than 1/4 inch.

Great information. I have seen them a lot and never knew it.

I've noticed false mermaid growing in my front and back yards for years, but never thought to look It up to see if it's edible. Thanks Adam. But now I know. It's healthy and growing here now, so i can try some.

Looks like Alyssum..maybe it could have tiny amount in the Wind River Mountains..Lander Wy

Great information 🎉🎉

Thank you💜 Peppery taste indicates the caryophyllene terpene?

I must go look for these .im in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

That plant also grows in Oklahoma. I used to nibble on it when I was a kid.

An important question is always, what does it taste like.?

Interesting. Thanks

I went out and foraged some today! And I'm 45 minutes south of Erie, so I think I also found the broad leaf variant too. So strange

Iv'e seen this plant but had no idea what it was in Midwest Illinois usually growing around creeks and streams in the bottoms.

Awesome spring gnosis 🎉🎉🎉

I’ll have to be more aware in my woods to see if I can find them here in Vermont. Very interesting!

I'm going out an finding this one💯👍😎....I know I been stepping in it💯🤣🤣🤣

Cool thanks!
