Your comment made me laugh. My daughter (6) and I were foraging today as I am handing down the skill taught by my maternal ancestors for hundreds of years. We have tech however and we found a mushroom that popped up not as toxic but fatal. My daughter looked at me and asks, "Do we know who ate it first, so we could know that it's fatal?" Then I read your comment a few hours later... 🤣

dryad saddle....if your knife is squeaking when your harvesting or cutting along the edge its too old!!! just a lil old timers wisdom for ya!!! your knife should cut through as smooth as if it were butter!!! I actually cut myself one time on a really fresh young dryad because my knife was really sharp an it cut the mushroom really fast an I wrecked into my finger!! so be careful when using a knife

I just harvested about 10 pounds of golden oyster mushrooms in Illinois. A delicious mushroom that a lot of people overlook.

Great video. Liked and subscribed. You covered most of the common edibles (in my area) that are not too easily confused with toxic mushrooms.

I've only eaten a couple mushrooms but I love looking at them they are like funky space flowers appearing wherever. I enjoy these.

Glad I found you . Thanks for this.

So happy I found your videos. Thank you for all that you do ❤️

Thank you so much for including your area!!

Awesome ! A great thing with mushrooms is that Harvesting does not kill the organism.

This video was so peaceful and educational! Thanks for sharing :D

Make sure your morels are hollow there’s one with a cotton feeling innard that’s toxic

Hurray lol I found a load of mushrooms today I just felt they was edible but needed confirmation, watched about ten videos on here no joy then onto this video and it's pheasants back and edible, also learned that bigger ones tuff in centre so thankyou

Best tip for beginners: always start by hunting only boletus species. If their sponge is white and their meat doesn't turn blue they're good. There are also blue turning good shrooms but if you're a beginner, just start with those

If you are a beginner, always forage with an experienced forager and one who is experienced in identifying the species. Also please do not eat anything that you’re unsure about. You can get extremely sick and in worst case they can be fatal. Also, please use your paring knife when plucking. Cut, not pluck, so they can grow back.

@@OldManoftheWoods Yeah, you wont hurt the mushroom culture (mycellium) however if it's a patch you intend to return to to harvest more mushrooms in the same season, (the following week for example) then you'll do better if you cut the mushrooms' stems. Often, I return to mushroom stumps that I've cut to find new fruiting bodies sprouting around the old stump I've left behind. I don't believe this can happen when you rip a hole in the mycelium by plucking. Keep in mind the mycelium serves to feed all the fruiting bodies in the flush, so when you start ripping holes in it, it's like demolishing sections of roads in a city. The city can survive it, but it certainly hinders its productivity. That being said, if you're picking wild mushrooms to market, some varieties lose their value if the stems are cut. BC pine mushroom (Tricholoma magnivelare) is one, for example. But these push up from so deep in the ground, you often just find the top of the cap with the stem completely buried, which forces you to pop them up from underneath with a screwdriver anyhow.

Well explained (thanks for the sub) 👋
