I was diagnosed with a type of lung cancer last year, I had hundreds of nodules on my lungs. I took no medicine other than mushroom teas, with Chaga, reishi, Turkey tail, and artist conk. After 4 MRI'S my nodules were gone, and I was released back to work.. I swear by the power of mushrooms, and tell anyone willing to sit and let me tell them my story.. Thank you Adam for spreading your knowledge on all things nature! Prayers you stay blessed and continue your amazing work!!

I'm a two time breast cancer survivor. Wish I had seen this years ago. But am now just getting into my fun research of mushroom hunting, because I just recently purchased 14 acres (Southern Indiana), 4 acres in the woods and tons of mushrooms year round.

Damn, this is one of those channels that should have several millions of subscribers but doesn't. Not only quality and concise information, but also in an easy-to-digest & professional presentation.

If you are not a college professor, you should be . You are one of the best teachers I have ever encountered anywhere . What vast knowledge you have . Thank you for your great channel.

Usually on the internet when I hear someone say here are the medicinal properties I sigh and roll my eyes ... because I know it's going to be a lot of pseudo-scientific bullshit that they scraped from random sites. But you actually provide information from reputable sources and the names of studies and hard data that we can look up. Thank you.

If you want to learn more about the medicinal benefits of fungi I would highly recommend following Paul Stamets. He is one of the leaders in bioremediation research and has launched a business called Fungi Perfecti. He is a wealth of knowledge, not just babbling about unproven "evidence". This man likely knows more about the topic than anyone I have studied. He has also been involved in some clinical trials that have had remarkable results. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4uIkpuTdNSsnKg.html

As an English teacher, I concur. This just the kind of material I would show to my students and challenge them to find any grammatical error in his speech. I only heard one.

Thanks for posting your videos. 10 years ago I got cancer, had surgery, was lined up for chemo, had one session and it gave me chronic clots so I pulled out of the treatment. Was told I'd a VERY POOR prognosis..I was resigned to whatever course my life was to take. Being a forager from childhood I went looking and researching for suitable medicinal plants to give my body an assist in recovering from cancer AND chemo and clots. I opted for turkeytail and birch polypore. I was loathe to start taking anything that involved alcohol as it is in itself a problem for the body. I dry both, and every few weeks make a batch. I blitz the turkeytail into a feathery powder and put a generous tablespoon on my breakfast every day. The Birch Polypore I dry in slices, then blitz it into a breadcrumb consistency, cook it in water, simmering for an hour, leave it overnight, warm it up the next day and drain it all through a sieve and reduce this to about a 1/3. I take about an egg-cup full in a glass of juice to mask the vile taste of it. So I'm still here but would be gratefull for any advice about the positive or negative implications of how I'm processing the plants. I was told I had to use alcohol to extract certain properties from the BP but I'm confident the human body is in itself a perfect extraction system.

Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. it has also helped me to survive depression

As a botanist and mushroom enthusiast, I find your videos so helpful. I am grateful to you for making them, for including the science behind mycological discoveries and for being straightforward in your presentations. I'm fast becoming a fan.

I'm getting my master's degree working with polypore taxonomy and loved the video. Funny thing: Those 3 species can be found in southeastern Brazil's deciduous forest, exactly the region I work in, and I have actually found Trametes, Trichaptum and Stereum here. It's awesome to this how passionate this guy is about the subject

Man, your brain must be a fascinating place to live. You are amazing. Thanks for helping me identify false turkey tail. I found a log right inside my treeline today that is covered with them. Now, I can go out and be able to identify the actual Turkey Tail on or close to the same log, hopefully. On Christmas Eve, right beside that log, I found a huge colony of Oyster mushrooms. I used your knowledge and others on KZread and Google images to identify those as edible. So yummy! I'm really excited to see what else I can find. I'm almost certain I'll find Chaga somewhere on all of my trees surrounding my home! That and Turkey Tail will be my prizes. Wish me luck. Thank you and God bless!

Just starting my adventures into mycology, thoroughly enjoyed this video.

Love this! I was just able to explain to one of my forum friends who wanted to culture a turkey tail that he had trichaptum biforme. I sent him your video too. Ever since I watched this I have never had an issue identifying turkey tail. I tend to go for fresh specimens since I find them to be the easiest to identify. I've even found trachaptum biforme and trametes versicolor on the same logs. Hopefully that saves him a lot of hassle and he goes out and finds some real turkey tail.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You have helped us identify the turkey tail that is abundant on our wooded land. Your channel has become one of our favorites to follow.

Thank you so much for your videos which are well researched and put together, and encouraging for those of us trying to learn more about funga. Really appreciate your work on this. Good health

Great video! Thanks Adam for articulating the differences of the three mushrooms. I am in Texas and every year in our neighborhood park, on the same trees, the most beautiful turkey tails grow. They are big too. I always admired the shape and colors but now I will start harvesting some of them for tea. I had one question that hopefully you can answer. Do you know if the young turkey tails have more medicinal qualities than the old turkey tails? Much thanks!

I really appreciate your channel! My grandfather was extremely knowledgeable on everything in nature... Mushrooms, plants, trees, animals... Sadly, when I was 12, he suffered a stroke that seriously impaired his speech and mobility. So, I missed out on a lot of time and knowledge with him. My dad taught me a good bit, though. And I'm learning more on my own. I had a question though. Do you ever use Turkey Tail that has been dried in the woods? I come across a lot that is perfectly dried and preserved on logs.

Thank you for the awesome explanation on the difference between the mushrooms. I’m new to the mushroom finding world and have heard lots about turkey tail so I’m really hoping to find some one day.

Im pretty sure I saw all three species today on a few fallen logs, some were birch, others oak. The strange thing was that I am almost positive there were both Turkey tail and violet toothed polypores on the same log, they seemed to be competing and I didn't realize how closely all three species grew in relationship with one another. Thank you for the great video from NE Ohio:)
