"We eatin' dirt tonight." 😆 Thanks for posting, I love watching the process from dirt to table!

Nice finds! I found a massive lion's mane lodged in a fallen tree like that and now I always check hollows in logs.

Thanks! Lion's mane can definitely be pretty sneaky

Love that we get to follow the foraging all the way into the kitchen! Looking forward to more videos!

I also live in North Carolina lion's mane mitaki and hedgehogs are my favorite I also found a large patch of truffles triad region

Guy went hard on the seasoning there. 😅

I am just learning how to do this and I am amazed at how fast they grow. Thank you for the information.

Love the outtake at the end. Looked like Katie enjoyed the heat🤣

Thought you meant to tap the mushrooms before picking the so spores are released and more grow???

Nice, I never had it, but I just got Chicken of The Woods justc3hours ago, Pennsylvania 👍

These were foraged a few weeks ago, but they are certainly still fruiting here in NC. It took me a few years before I was able to find one that was in reach, so yes, definitely a hard mushroom to forage. There are several Herecium species that fruit in North America which also include the bears head tooth and the coral tooth fungus. I am not sure how many states it can be found in, but I have personally found it in both MD and NC.

Say your welcome boy....

I also live in the Piedmont of nc I have found so many great amanitas in my yard this season as well as several other mushrooms. I am so interested in finding a foraging group around Franklin county. Do you have any groups that you’ve studied with or have any resources in the area for experienced informative instruction?! I am going crazy not having enough information!

I do not know of any specific foraging groups in Franklin County, but there are several great Facebook groups that are very helpful when it comes to learning and asking about mushroom identification. I have also been fortunate enough to have a mentor which has helped me to learn about foraged foods in our area at an accelerated rate. My recommendation would be to join some of the Facebook groups and start trying to identify the things people post using the resources that you have, such as the internet and books (I recommend the Bessette's book "A field guide to mushrooms of the Carolinas"). And then of course my number one recommendation is to continue spending time in the woods observing as many plants and mushrooms as you can. The more things you know (such as trees and terrain), the easier it will be to locate specific types of wild foods. Building confidence is key, and being a forager requires us to constantly be learning new things which I think is one of the things that makes it so exciting! It seems like there are quite a few of my viewers that are based out of NC so I am thinking about the possibility of arranging a few foraging trips to help teach people how to get started. I am also thinking about posting a video with the steps and methods that I use to locate and identify wild foods. Let me know if you think that either of these things would be helpful, I really appreciate the feedback from all of my viewers and want to help as many of you as I can!

@@glieseonlife yes I think that the Piedmont area of NC must be super diverse in means of temperature and humidity as well as so many different plants and substrates in general that makes the area so hospitable for fungi! And I agree there’s definitely nothing that compares to hands on experience but I would SO benefit from having a mentor and community to collaborate with! Please let me know if you plan on having any sort of group hands on sessions I really think that this area is in dire need of some instruction and an idea of learning new things! I tend to feel peoples opinion on mushrooms in this area is that they are afraid to learn more! But this hasn’t stopped me and I’m on the look out for some hands on experience! I’m lucky to have acres of woods in my own back yard here and have found so many new specimens!

What a haul. Awesome find. I know you mentioned oaks for the hens, but do you find the lion's mane only on particular species as well?

@glieseonlife

Thanks! Lion’s mane can be found growing on dead or decaying hardwood trees. A lot of the trees that I find mine on are too decayed to properly identify, so I’ve never really taken note of specific tree species

Indeed they will; and, I gasped out loud when he "trimmed" off that much! I guess Alex also never heard about prepping ginger by just using the edge of a spoon to scrape off the outer skin.

I like that Katie gal. Were I living with her she would not lack for hearing "You're welcome!"

Pretty sure those are green onions, not scallions. Cool video though.
