New Sub Those spring kings are my favorite to eat
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!
@@mmmmmray Hey Brother , thank you. If you don't mind I would like to suggest you go and visit realmushrooms.com I have e the ability to make my own extracts and supplements, but I do buy from them and have been doing so for over 7 years. They have a tremendous amount of information in there "LEARN" section. If you have the ability to purchase from them , I would sincerely suggest you do. While you are learning and going out and foraging, you can use there products to help you in this regards. Now full disclosure, I am NOT affiliated and trying to sell you. I have been a longtime customer and always recommend them to everyone I can . I take the Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, Resihi and Turkey tail minimum. You can purchase from AMZ or go directly to their website. If you go to the website , as a new customer you get 20% your first purchase. What I like is that they have different sized capsules. i buy the 300 count ones, as I take more daily of what is recommended. The Lion's mane alone is my saving grace. I was in a horrible accident back then and it was the only mushroom that actually helped alleviate my neuropathy . I also use the supplements for our Chocolate Lab. If you have any other questions, just ask happy to help. 👊🍄
Is that a queen or staining
It is a Boletus rex-varis or the Spring King Bolete. Not a queen or staining of any kind. The short video, links to the full video if your interested. Thanks for asking . Have a great day👊🍄
Awesome finds out there! Keep up the good work my friend! 🍄
Hey Brother , thank you.Yeah that was 2 weeks ago . Went out Friday and found an amazing area around 4000-4200'. Got some video of them huge but mostly past due. Looking to get out tomorrow hitting at least 4500' or higher. Thanks for your support my fren. Good luck to you as well.👊🍄
@@ImFungiHunter Nice! I bet you'll have good luck at 4500' - keep me posted and best of luck out there!
@@MushroomTrail You know I will , Thank you, same to you Brother👊🍄
Dang those morels are nice. Will need to keep my eyes open, I'll be up around 4000ft this coming weekend.
Thanks , yeah they were a nice find. I'm not sure where you are , but I would go higher if you can , find the snow line or higher elevations. I have more video from Friday where we found some really big one's at that elevation, and they were already past due. Will be heading out hopefully tomorrow seeking at least 4500'. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment and good luck out there. 👊🍄
What a beautiful Bolete! Two of my favorite mushrooms right there - awesome finds! Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks Brother.👍 Yeah, I always enjoy finding the unique one's . Boletes are one of my favorites, both Spring and Fall. Love the Oregon Reishi for culturing, and cultivating for meds. You do the same my fren. Have a great day and thanks for watching and subscribing. Can never have enough people spreading the word on Fungi.🍄

Gomphodius!
Gomphidius subroseus is the correct name, but i see you got the general idea. Common name is Rosy Slimespike . Actually is edible once you peel off the pileus. Good for you on the name. Thanks for your comment👊🍄
Don't eat them dry them put them in glass jars around your house with the lids on loose so the healthiest molecules on the planet can escape and breathe them Best kept secret on the Planet great find very healthy mushrooms
Hello . Thank you for the information. Never heard that before, but I will say with the amount of assorted type of mushrooms i have in my home space, I'm sure I'm getting a ton of molecules from them. As per not eating them , well I do eventually consume them. Thank you again for watching and commenting. Have a great day 👊🍄
Check out Otzi the iceman he wore birch polypore to keep healthy 5000 years ago we use mushroom aromatics for cancer treatments and lots off other things trying to get the word out.
Hello , yes very aware of Otzi the Iceman. I have been sharing adjunct protocols and the information about the use of medicinal mushrooms for various treatments for many years now. Very much a "How to" person" when it comes to this. I walk my talk. Thank you for sharing this. Great to know others who are like minded.🍄❤️
Would you move the camera slowly please 😁
Hello, I have already made the video, I'm sorry, I do realize that I had moved the camera a little too fast at times. I will try and do better for the next videos. Thank you for letting me know and watching. 👍🍄
Such an awesome video! Just found some really muddy ones near San Francisco. Another rain coming through this weekend so next week may be a good week!
Thank you. I'm happy you liked it. It's great to hear you're still finding them and with the incoming rains, it should be good for more. Thanks for watching. Let me know if you find some, always happy when anyone finds some mushrooms👊🍄
@@ImFungiHunter Do you plan to look for any morels this coming season? I expect to see some in March and April here near San Francisco, CA
Hey Murray, yes indeed. Actually start scouting out some of the Burns from last year and paying attention to people posting and sharing if they find some. Always on the look out for signs and also check some areas around the Cottonwoods and landscape areas. Still a bit too cold and with the recent snows , i'm sure it will be a bit before we see some. Good luck finding some. Let me know when you do . Happy Fungi Friday👊🍄
@@ImFungiHunter a thank you Hunter! Good luck to you too. Do you mean Morels in your comment?
Yes I did 👍
thanks for a piece of summer! It would soon be the beginning of a new mushroom season! best regards from Russia
Hello there, you are most welcome 👍. Yes, summer into fall and even winter on the West coast of Washington, Oregon and California have them . Thanks for watching and best regards from a Canadian🇨🇦 living in the USA 🇺🇸.There is a rich history and culture of mushroom use in Russia🇷🇺 💪. I am very happy to meet you here in this space and share that passion for mushrooms with you. I'm grateful , Have a great day👊❤️🍄
@@ImFungiHunter Thank you for the great video, it helps and motivates us as we wait for the mushroom season to start!🤝👍❤
Yes I agree , Your welcome and thank you for the engagement. I believe you just followed my on twitter yes?? Thank you. appreciate you as well my new friends from Russia. Mushrooms are the universal language🍄❤️
@@ImFungiHunter 🤝❤
Congratulations on your first video! happy hunting 💪👍🤝
Thank you , exciting for sure. 👊🍄
Wow ! Great mushroom hunt!👍💯💥🤝
Thank you my friend. Yes, always great when you find something special. Thank you for subscribing and the like. Saw your channel and subscribed as well. 👊🍄❤️
Nice find! Still on my lifelist to find in the wild, it's one of my favorites cultivated.
Thank you . Yes I don't find them often but when I do it's always special. Where are you located in the world? Harvesting and adding to my culture library is always the bonus. Thanks for watching and good luck looking for one. I hope you find one this year. 👊🍄
@@ImFungiHunter Currently in Western Washington but first learned mushroom hunting in the pine barrens of NJ.
@@masamunesword Nice , well western WA has a lot of potential for you to find one. More during the Fall time, but yeah great opportunity for sure. Check out the Maples when you see damage or dying trees they sure do seem to like them.👍🍄
Is it a Hypholoma Capnoides? Congrats on posting your first video. Keep it up! 🍄🍄
Hello Thank you for that. Yeah Exciting for sure, more to come. To answer your question , No it is not. Hypholoma capnoides is a saprohyte that grows on decaying wood. This one in the video is not mycorrhizal, it is a "PARASITE" type that grows on the mycelium of Suillus . (HINT) It's in the Bolete family.(HINT) You also have to peel the slimy layer off the cap to eat it (HINT) The very bright YELLOW base is also a major key (HINT) . Give you 2 more tries and then I will tell you. Thank you for attempting. Great to see your homesteading channel as well. Great stuff.👊🍄❤️
Congratulations on your first video! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!! Yes very exciting. More Mushrooms content on the way. thanks for viewing and the compliment 🍄❤️
Awesome! Keep it up!
Thanks Sparrow appreciate you , just subscribed to your channel🍄💚
LOL... the blank slate I'm working on. Thank you! I love your banner, btw. Did you do that with AI? It looks amazing!@@ImFungiHunter
Thank you for the compliment. Yes I used Canva and made it through that. Learned how to do the dimensions for viewing different devices so that it would show up properly on different devices. Found it on You tube 🍄
Just saw you on VRA! Cool Vid! Hope to see more!
Thanks Marie , appreciate you . Yes more to come for sure🍄
