MUSHROOM HUNTING EPIC SPRING KING BOLETES
Ойын-сауық
This is the second trip to this area mushroom hunting for Spring King Boletes. (Boletus rex-varis) On the last trip, we were just getting into them and we started to find some EPIC ones once we got dialed into location, temperature, and elevation. We found some huge ones and a prime new area, which continues to produce as we gain higher elevation. We were seeing them at 4000' in the Cascade Mountains over Stevens Pass WA.
We found a brand new location that is still producing at higher elevations. We will be coming back to the spot next spring for sure as there were no signs of anyone else in this new area.
Judging by the size of the older Boletes we found, this is turning out to be one epic adventure.
Thanks for watching.👊🍄💚

Hey John , thanks for the follow. Yeah I agree love me some Spring Kings , but both these and the King Boletes in the fall are some of my favorite. I just dried a bunch and made some powdered extracts . 👊🍄
Are there any Ramarias out there that you watch out for that could be a bad look alike to that Ramaria you took at 12:30 ? Thank you.

Hey there. Well for my area in WA in the cascades in the Spring we have this one which is the Yellow Spring Coral (Ramaria rasilispora) it is considered edible, properly prepared. Properly identifying can be a challenge but for us here in the Spring we have maybe 2 similar, the one above and the also the BigFoot Coral (Ramaria magnipes) but this one is a very intense colored yellow. As with any Ramaria , if you haven't eaten it before you should just try a little and see if it taste bitter or if you have any GI reaction. Always best to be cautious first time. I'm going to be using it to make some extracts. I believe you also get them in CA. Hope it helps. Thanks for watching and reaching out. LMK if you find any. Thanks Brother👊🍄

@@ImFungiHunter Thanks for the insights, FungiHunter! What are you thinking to extract from these ramaria and what benefits are you thinking you'll get out of them?

@@mmmmmray GM, I do a lot of my own extracts and research and I read a paper about the Antioxidant activity of various fungi, in relation to Phenolic compounds and their free-radical scavenging abilities. A yellow coral , Ramaria flava, that grows in other parts of the world had shown to have a a wide range of antioxidant, antibiotical and anticancer activity and since I am able to find similar fungi here in the same family , I thought I would do an extract in an alcoholic solution, as per the research and since it can last indefinitely , I would have one to try and test if needed. I prefer to make my own in this regards and since it popped up on my radar and I found that one, it seems like it was meant to be. It is quite amazing to be able to go into the forests and gather the bounty and bring it back home to feed and heal yourself. Something quite special, well for me . I am truly grateful. Thank you for asking , hope the reply wasn't too long. Have wonderful 4th my Brother , stay safe 👊🍄

@@ImFungiHunter I appreciated the thoughtfulness and detailness of your reply! Thanks for helping me understand. I've been having immune issues and have been meaning to go and find more turkeytails to supplement my diet as well. It definitely is a great to be able to live and forage for medicine for oneself! Absolute freedom and connection with nature!
