Can I just say I love your videos? I use them as reference guides all of the time, and they have become very useful for me. And very educational keep up the great work

Outstanding information, as always. And I bet a lot of us were wondering about this!

I just love your channel...l so much information and you are a great on screen personality... thanks Adam I have found so many edible species on our land...I knew about chanterelles but have found pheasant back, chicken of the woods, hen of the woods, cauliflower mushroom, black trumpets, oysters, milk cap, a lot of boletes...there is so much available food we just never learned about, so thank you again your the best

You find oysters in the winter all the time where I live in southern Ohio. If they're a bit off you could dry or make into duxelles (which involves chopping them up finely) so the texture doesn't matter so much. I found some chickens of the woods recently that had been frozen and they were freezer burned and soggy so passed on those.

The last great mushroom of the year that grows mostly in Nov. Dec. in Maine is Hygrophorus flavodiscus. Super internal antifreeze. A great mushroom when cooked right. Apply Maillard reaction.

I know I've said it before but I absolutely love your channel.

Thanks Adam, you continue to inspire my hunt!

Very nice video ! Also the edibility of frozen mushrooms is a topic rarely spoken of in videos ,making this one very useful. Thanks man!

I found some mushrooms that looked like the enoki this weekend. I'm in Western PA, too and I'm always amused that the mushrooms I see show up on your channel. Appreciate your work, Adam!

Adam, this isn’t the first time I’ve sung your praises, and I just wanted to thank you again for serving as such a knowledgeable virtual mentor for so many of us. You are a great educator, and I hope you keep teaching for years to come.

It better be! That's how I find most of my Grifola and Pleurotis in the late fall/winter.😆 Thanks, Adam! 👍

Thank you, for yet another informative, useful, and inspiring video. Have a great day!

The Deadly Galerina (Galerina Marginata ((G. Autumnalis)) is truly a dangerous LBM and packs a punch for such a small mushroom. Initially one would get abdominal pain and vomiting 7-10 hours after ingestion. These symptoms subside a few hours later and seemingly one would feel better...perhaps not even go to the emergency room. But 7 days later....BAM..liver failure and death. There is no "antidote" once this mushroom is ingested....SO KNOW YOUR MUSHROOM! (Adam can help)

Always great info! I think that learnyourland is one of few channels that I dont say to myself, get to the point already! Don't forget to do videos on other edibles! I go from Illinois to Florida caring for a couple. Stuck in Illinois due to some health issues, (not mine), and get opportunities to hike and explore. The season is over but I have discovered many species over the past month or two. I've become a mushroom foraging fanatic and your channel tops my list for this. Thank you for your knowledge and experience!

That hidden gem in the video about elm trees and Dutch Elm disease was really interesting. It’s amazing how well you articulate this information. I can watch this channel for days

Great video!

*Adam, you should link your enoki ID video in the description.*

Thanks Adam! I did learn something new today from this video. I havent winter foraged alot but have found oysters in winter tho they weren't frozen at the time. But some new knowledge about frozen mushrooms in winter is great! Were always learning !

Thanks for another well produced, clearly articulated video filled with life enriching & potentially life saving information & your usual level-headed advice, encouragement, & enthusiasm.

Gratitude for answering this specific question, awesome content you share!

You, sir, are the best mushroom man on youtube with the most enriching content. Great job!

Always a wealth of helpful information. This is a topic I’ve considered in the past, so I greatly appreciate the lesson.

Thanks for another great video I have learned so much from you over the last few years

I dont forage for mushrooms i just think this mushroom channel is pretty cool

Great as ever. Will need to watch again to make sure I get it right

Great edition skills and (as always) very informative. You really do extremely well at explaining so many characteristics of each object you discuss, it's just as helpful for a novice as it is for a veteran!

Wow Adam I am so impressed with your wide and detailed knowledge and appreciate your videos. Thanks.

Perfect and timely video for the cold months. Thanks Adam! Merry Christmas!

I've been wondering about this myself. Thanks for all your brilliant work!

A good question. Massive excellent discussion and sub-topics.

Great video! I started with serious mushroom foraging & studying only this year, and I find your videos great for learning!

Thanks for the Galerina and Enoki comparisons! They look so similar. Appreciate it, Dr. Haritan!

So Awesome Adam, I was just thinking of those same mushrooms (that grow in clumps on Elms) the weather looks similar right now(20th). Joy peace love

Yesss!!!! Love your videos!

Excellent excellent excellent! Thanks Adam!

Thank you for information as always. It such a great video. You are awesome Adam.

Excellent video as usual Adam. Well done.

Thanks Adam for another great informative video. I can't wait to find some oyster mushrooms and try them.

Another awesome video Thankyou Adam!

Pretty facinating. I dont harvest mushrooms much over the winter , but this is still very interesting. Thanks.

This was really informative and well organized. Excellent overall production.

the best channel , love it very much !

Just subscribed! thank you for these amazing video! you are a cool dude! love you! love this channel!

Excellent video, so informative!

Thank you! I have been wondering about this and now I know the answer.

I think there is no chemical change derived from the freezing process that make edible mushrooms less safe to eat. The thing is that the frozen mushrooms will have quality, texture, etc affected, as the video says.

This video is great and life saving because it teaches that frozen mushrooms can have changed morphology and that multiple freeze thaw cycles may also harbour more pathogen. And that Enoki is very similar to the funeral bell mushroom ,, which is toxic. The video also mentions many other interesting things . I recommend you to watch it .

I've never been that picky with the flams. Love them!

You are too sweet and skilled, thanks so much for sharing! love, kara

awesome video on winter foraging Thankyou Adam hope your hands weren't too cold😉👍👍👍

I saw a gorgeous patch of oyster mushrooms on someone's Tree near a lake in Lincoln. I am not even going to ask them if I can forward them, because the last mushroom I foraged was a chicken of the woods. I did not cook it right away I put it in the fridge. And when I cook it it was tough as Nails! Fortunately I did dry some of it. At least I can use it and decorations. Thanks for this wonderful video

Great info. 👍

Enjoy your Thanksgiving. Blessings to you and your loved ones 🙏 🙏

Nice oysters. Those look delicious!

always wondered about this... thank you! :)

just found some enoki in south georgia , right after slight morning freeze

Great content. I grow a few shiitakes but know little about the rest.

Biggest question im running into with this video: why is damage caused by freezing important to the harvesting of a mushroom? You may have already answered the question and I missed it, but it can't hurt to ask.

Thanks for the Information you provide us with care. If you had to suggest one, two or even five books about mycology and mushrooms identification what would they be? Thanks in advance

i like you and your way of talking about this very interesting hobby of mine :D

Thanks for the information! I’m husband had found frozen oysters & I was wondering if they were safe to eat.

Loved the video and breakdown! As for medicinal mushrooms such as turkey tails that are woody and inedible, do the same rules apply before foraging and usage in tinctures/tonics? I've picked and used turkey tails that had deff froze/refroze multiple times, but as long as they still look prime I usually don't second guess them.

Only this guy can make me go from watching car videos to videos about mushrooms.

Love your vids! Have you encountered mushrooms freeze dried? I have photos following sub freezing DRY & GUSTING winds and they look dehydrated but have no spores left & the crinkly yellow -orange & brown rings on the caps have bulls eyes. When these mushrooms are fresh & not dry they look like winter chanterelles but yellow.

Awesome

Thanks I thought so we see frozen oysters sometimes the purple / orange kind that grows on birch it's not really an oyster but related some how... And frozen tree ear... And it's the best time to harvest chaga and some polypores... I see the deer like birch polypores when they thaw in the spring they have a brief time when they turn soft enough... full of water from thawing snow they feel like a sponge ...very cool thanks for clarifying that

I like picking birch polypore within a week of it sprouting. It's a surprisingly good edible if you get them young when they feel rubbery. Kinda has a not unpleasant sour taste to it. Just don't eat the skin.

Adam, everytime I watch one of your videos I feel like I'm back in a college classroom & have to take notes for later review. Great information & I love Oyster mushrooms but have not found any in my area. As far as the Enoki mushrooms go since they have Glycerol in their cells are they still good to consume? Does cooking them alter the glycerol component? Anyway, thanks for your videos...........Stay warm!!

What's your area? I have sort of different species of trees here than where adam is for the most part, but where I live, "normal" oysters and angel wings tend to be on the 3 Populus species here in NS. Populus tremuloides, Populus grandidentata, and Populus balsamifera during roughly may and september, but not between. The "late fall" oysters like beech and oak from what I can tell. We have Quercus rubra, and Fagus grandifolia. I saw a bunch of late falls in October, and a couple more today. Hope this helps the search if you're nearby or have these species.

Thank you very much for this video. This weekend we went out to forage from a known patch of Blewit which generates 1+ lb of mushroom per visit. We are in the NE and the area in question sits at an elevation of ~1200'. Blewit grows until the end of November, according to literature but I noticed these latest individuals were morphed compared to the ones from late summer and fall: darker caps, cracked caps. Would comment on this? I expected Blewit to be resistant to frost damage since it grows until the end of November. Site temps are starting to drop to between -1 C to -3 C. Thanks.

Thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing in your video! I have a specific question. A friend found a great Boletus Edulis mushroom growing within half a foot from Death Cap. He did not take it thinking the death cap might have affected the boletus' quality rendering it poisonous. But does it happen like that? Would toxic mushrooms growing close to eatable ones "spread" their poison?

i’ve found some yummy frozen oysters and enoki ! :)

Great, as always. Will mushrooms that have been thawed out at home still give a spore print?

Whoo, that wind even sounds frigid. BRRRR!

Thank you for emphasizing the importance of cooking when preparing winter- or post-frost-harvested mushrooms. Have you had the opportunity to try lacto-fermented mushrooms, which the Noma Guide to Fermentation recommends be frozen for a minimum of 24 hours (according to a newspaper article)? I am among those who really enjoy the concise and logical means by which you convey so much detail in your videos. They’re extremely professional but also very warm and considerate of those whose knowledge might be limited.

Great video! The likelihood of me finding frozen mushrooms is quite low because I don't like to be out much when it's cold. Raynauds syndrome is another excuse to try to stay inside and keep warm. Do you know of any mushrooms that might help with that? And another question. Do you know if squirrels eat mushrooms? More specifically could they have dug up many of my slippery jacks just before they popped above the pine needles and I was searching the area under our white pines with my daughter and finding dozens of little holes all over the area where we've harvested hundreds of jacks the last couple years? Any experience with little furry critters "stealing" your harvest? Any chance enoki mushrooms could help with circulation? Thanks for your informative videos and for playing a big part in inspiring my mushroom foraging the last few years!

Squirrels do pick and eat mushrooms. I have even watched them carry mushrooms up and prop them on tree branches or stumps to dry then they return later to pack them home.

Individual genetic predispositions are looking very important for understanding the safety of a fungal group on different biological combinations of human dna.

how much of your diet is foraged edibles? Approximately what percentage do fungi comprise? just curious, would love to confidently (safely) increase the amount I consume.

Would you say that enoki has special smell that is recenisble only for enoki?

The last Mukitake I found were frozen solid! So were the Pleurotus I found, foraged in our brief snow last week! Adam, question: Is it safe to forage edible mushrooms growing on the same log that Galerina is growing on? I know I've seen them on the same log together in the past!

Aren't the oyster shrooms beautiful Great video thanks!

Burr it’s cold there I just found mica cap or the glisining ink cap for the 2nd time around the same Apple tree

If you were forced to pick 3 mushrooms to add to your diet for overall health, what would they be? I was reading about those cordyceps things, that would make an interesting video. Could you create your own mushroom, like hybrids like they do with tomato's? I would pay you 50-75 an hour for 3-4 hours consultation if your ever by west chicago, il. Thanks

I have both growing almost side by side one gives me a white spore print one a brown spore print but because they live so close together I will not pick them because chances are too good to accidentally get some of the poisonous ones mixed in.

Hi Adam! I'm in the middle of a conversation about foraging mushrooms that are around poison ivy. Some people say no way. Some others say it's ok because any possible oil contaminant will be cooked away in the heat.. I'm not 100 per cent sure at all that correct. What are your thoughts please? I respect your knowledge immensely. Cheers!

That deadly look alike shot triggered me and that's why I dont forage mushrooms and just like to look at them.

Who gave that a thumbs down? It was probably an accident. Big thumbs.

Awesome video young But I do have to ask are you from Ohio or Pennsylvania I only ask because of the woodlands that you are in are very reminiscent of Ohio Central area like Mohican but if you are in Pennsylvania I really don't know then but this video looks like you are in Mohican or in Wayne county

Thank you Adam, got your email, used the link to watch the vid :)

I have harvested _Flammulina_ _velutipes_ and _Pleurotis_ _ostreatus_ when frozen, but I knew that they had just frozen overnight, so I wasn't worried. Sorry if I misspelled them, I am lazy. By the way, have you ever checked out the channel Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't? Hilarious! And I believe that while the deadly galirina can grow in clusters, they are not cespitose, that is, growing with the stems crowded together, or am I wrong?

Hey what was that mushroom at the very beginning montage?

Hypothetically how many grams of deadly galerina does it take to cause serious symptoms of no return per kg of bodyweight? I guess the spore print is the better bet to go by. When less educated with experience, I think i've eaten one or two in the past and still survived. Obviously.... lol I have noticed usually enoki happens to grow in closer bunches than the galerina does. At least in the midwest/ great lake region. What's the consensus?

You notice he says odor and coder instead of older and colder.?. So cute.

So much for global warming again this year....lol. Eastern PA is been bit chilly also. But as long as delicious mushrooms to pic and Adam is still make awesome videos all is dam good!

I have a question. I live in New York city and we have many big parks like forest but there are no mushrooms whatsoever. I wonder why ? Anybody can tell me why there is no mushrooms growing in new york city parks ? not a single one ! nothing !

What's the difference between those enoki and the white noodle like mushrooms in Japanese cooking (miso soup)? I know they are also named enoki

I think the store bought ones are grown on a different substrate, and don't get exposed to sunlight as much so they don't darken up properly or grow in the same shape. Don't quote on that, someone explained it to me once and I think that was it.
