My dad is from the Yucatán. His folks lived by this rule: cook with a raw garlic clove. If the garlic turns black, it’s edible. He tested this with some yard grass mushrooms at our apartment complex in Tucson. Other than the tongue lashing from my mom, he’s fine

I got into mushroom hunting when I looked across the street one day and there was what looked like a soccer ball in the cemetery. I had an Audubon field guide to mushrooms (cuz I’m a curious guy and had lots of field guides) and looked it up. Giant Puffball, choice edible, no mistaking it for other species. Went and cooked it up. And that started me on my journey. But I stay away from fungi where there could be mistakes made. If I need to do a spore print to identify it positively, I shy away from it.

While its apparently an old myth and one I wouldn't risk my life on. It's also not one I have heard before. -But It seemed reasonable that a toxin in a mushroom could tarnish silver. Sulfur is the reason silver will tarnish, and Sulfur is generally not advisable to injest. Though I'm sure there are certain toxins in some mushrooms that can be deadly and yet not tarnish silver.

I think the fear of hunting for mushrooms might have more to do with the fear of picking the wrong ones, and eating poisonous mushrooms that you thought were edible. I've heard people say that it can be really hard to tell the difference, and even experts sometimes mix them up and die as a result.

Thank you so much for this video. My backyard erupted with numerous mushrooms of about four different types around the oak trees within the past few days.

Boletus queletii bruise a very unique coloration and that is blue and black. The color change is caused by a chemical reaction that occurs when certain compounds in the cell walls mushroom is exposed to air. Now for the next topic, the oxidation process. When exposed to air, the variegatic acid in the mushroom is converted to the blue-colored molecule quinone methide. There are many famous blue-bruising mushrooms. A common rule for boletes is that you shouldn't eat one that has a red pore surface and bruises blue. Because so many blue bruising boletes are poisonous, it's best to avoid them all together. Psilocybe cubensis - The stems bruise blue or blue-green. This is a hallucinogenic mushrooms but note that no all hallucinogenics mushrooms bruise blue Some people think all blue bruising mushrooms are safe to eat or are hallucinogenic. The bolete rule of above proves that this is not true. The myth is an example of why identifying through bruising alone is a bad idea! Cheers everyone !

The silver spoon probably comes from a common test for sulfuric acid fumes which will in fact oxidize silver to black. Many psilocin containing mushrooms bruise blue and so some people look for that when purchasing their magic mushies.

And living in Sweden where we don't have to take the car everywhere I walk from home to the forrest, passing through parts of the town. So sometimes when I haven't been planing on finding mushrooms I've used (NOT USED FOR ITS ORIGINAL PURPOSE, OF COURSE! 😂) one of those bags. Most people know how a dogpoo bag looks, so imagen the looks I get, happy of my unexpected prey, walking a large dog, proudly carrying a full black plastic bag, or two! 😂😂

My Box Elder stump in the yard gave me some more beautiful young tender Dryad Saddle mushrooms to fry up with onions and my eggs this morning. YUM As far as the silver coin in the pan to see if a mushroom was poison... My dad was born in 1901 and he believed that. He also taught me if insects or worms eat it that it is not poison... I am glad you straightened that out for me.

I like your point at the end...emphasizing "fun" in mushroom hunting. You're right, if you're not having fun, then you're not doing it right! You do need to be cautious, but if you're beginning to get burned out, then slow down. You don't need to memorize every mushroom that's out there all at once; it takes time. When in doubt, don't eat it, until you look it up! And have fun!

Mark Pagslo No... there might be some species of toxic mushrooms contain sulphur-sulphur bonds to stabilise the poison. When you boil them, the weak sulphur bonds break and turn into reactive species that can attack the surface of the silver and cover it with silver sulphide which is black.

If it's blue, that's good news ^^

I am an avid forager. I love your videos. You are slightly more south than me so what I see in your videos I see up here shortly after. I love the way you present your videos. I've learned a lot more than I already knew. You're awesome, keep making videos please ✌️💛

LOVE the intro/outro music, btw

Very informative. Thank you.

Thank you for addressing these myths. I've learned a few things.

Me: I must poke all of them

I feel like this guys name should be called “The Mushroom 🍄 Hunter” he reminds me of the crocodile hunter! but for mushrooms! He’s so excited about it all! It’s great!

You are amazing Adam❤️

Great explanation!

I found Learn Your Land only last month. I am more excited for Spring to come than you can imagine! (Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada) I would love to see some more Western US or Canada videos... any chance we can entice you to visit?💗 🇨🇦💗

My ex wives family were tree people. They would cut down trees and sell fire wood. She told me her father taught her if you scratch a mushroom and the air hits it and it turns blue it's toxic. They did this her entire childhood collecting wild mushrooms in new york. This explains a lot lol

I never thought of feeding as an intimate act. I was so enlightened by your words! I forage and eat about 20-30 different species of mushrooms myself and I am constantly learning from videos like yours. Your content is amazing!

Great video, thanks for sharing the knowledge!

i found mushrooms along a river this year in PA, they bruised blue and were quite tasty. Felt pretty crazy after ingestion though haha

They are gross to eat real woody

I was made afraid from a young age that all mushrooms were bad. I know that is a myth, but it is such a part of what I know about the woods, I hope to get passed that. Thanks for the info, it's important, and I will make it known to my grand kids that knowledge is the end of fear.

Vote blue? It seems mushrooms do distort reality and fries brain cells.

Thanks Adam! You seem like a fun guy

Excellent video! Some great info, thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Oh my GOSH I'm so glad you talked about the cutting vs pulling/transplanting thing, and also the basket thing!!! THANK you!!! These myths are insanely popular, even with some fairly experienced foragers!

When I was a kid we would go out and find bluestalks in the uk. Distinctive smell and purply colour.great to eat and easy to sell when we got alot.

I AM having fun!! Foraging wild mudhrooms is so exciting! Thank you very much for sharing your extensive knowledge. It helps me learn so much faster!!

great video Adam!

I love your actionable info!!

The mushrooms that bruise blue are the ones I always DO want to eat! 🤣🤣 Oh and I transplant my mushrooms all the time...I cut the stem butts off and then bury them in other places around my yard... usually takes about a month to 6 weeks, but I typically end up finding fruiting bodies in those areas later on ✌️

The mycelium can stretch for miles underground,, So I would say it's just the same mycelium fruiting in another area in your yard. Not the mushroom you buried. 👍

Personal favourite... Stir fry some diced onion, garlic and sweet tomatoes add chicken of the woods and splash with a dry white wine as you turn off the stove...better than steak

Chicken is like lowest level of edibility, if you've never had Morrell you've never had an excellent shroom. Please buy them if you must but they are best edible shroom in the world hands down.

Thanks for the upload I enjoyed.

Great video! Thank you!

Your videos are amazing and you're awesome. Keep up the good work 👏

Regarding myth 16, is it true that you can taste Russula mushrooms to determine edibility? I have heard that if it is bitter, it is inedible. If it is hot or spicy, it is probably poisonous. If it is sweet or doesn't have a taste after about 30 seconds of being on your tongue, it is edible. I have heard the same rules for tasting the latex of milk caps. What are your thoughts on this? By the way, excellent video! I really enjoy learning all the content you put out. You helped get me into foraging and just being out in nature more in general.

It is the case that there are no deadly Russula mushrooms (though Russula emetica/silvestris is honest about its emetic side effects), so yes, you can safely taste them. The inedible ones will taste peppery, bitter, or otherwise disgusting, for example like soap, and you will want to spit them out. That leaves the edible ones, the best of which often taste of fresh hazelnuts. Milk caps are very similar, with only a few considered toxic. Of course, first of all, you need to be sure you have a Russula or a Lactarius in your hand.

You’re awesome! Thank you for sharing 😊😊

Thx for all your information,much appreciated . I will check out plants soon.
