Spore prints have saved my life! Do them, save then on a scrap book with dates and notes, you can walk back though your adventures. Spore prints have saved my life, Once I came on the biggest flush of meadow mushrooms I'd ever seen. I was besides myself, I collected 4.5 grocery bags of mushroom. When I got home I set them up to dry out, as I dry many mushrooms. I decided to select 4 mushrooms from each sack to do spore prints. The next day when I checked my spore prints, I had 5 sheets of paper, 1 sheet of prints showed I had slipped several deadly mushrooms in while I was harvesting with abandon. As a result I threw out all the mushrooms I had harvested that day and started to process. Do spore prints, make it fun, sometimes I do them in envelopes while I'm mushroom hunting, if they print other than what I was expecting I discard the fungus right in its environment.

You rock! I “caught my neighbor” in NH this am scouting the neighbors yard :) He harvested a couple puff balls and some “chicken of the woods” :) Thanks again for sharing,u def are the MVP💪🏽

Your content has inspired many a woods, park, and construction site walk for me and my children, and a fair amount of research on our part looking into the wild edibles available to us here in Okla. Thank you.

Excellent video with clear quality and stills

Dear Mr. Green, If you have time, I would like to hear about a 'year in the life' of a forager. Like, how much yearly food you usually forage, how you use, store, cook etc. Thanks for all of your work. At some point I want to drive over from Louisiana and do a class with you. JT

I found your channel when I was searching for the name of a herb I learned about in culinary school several years ago. Thankfully I found the plant through your video on epazote, then I realized your channel was meant for me. I am in love with foraging and cooking with wild mushrooms and seasonal plants. You are meant to teach! So succinct and thorough! Thanks so much.

I love your channel and website. Please never stop.

Congratulations on your 150th video. Your Itemize method convinced me to eat weeds a few years ago! Thanks for such a wonderful production.

I am so excited to see new episodes from you!!! Thank you sir. It is an honor to learn from you. Very appreciated.

Congrats! You've been a well of knowledge for me over the years, and you have also forever changed the way I say 'red cedar'! Im from TN, so can you imagine how odd I must sound? Bwahaha! I cant help it tho, every year when I go harvest juniper berries I always hear the same thing in my head:"So let's itemize! This is not a ceda at all, its a juniper and it has cones, not berries." Thank you, lol. The walk down the fence lines is much more amusing now!

I hope you're doing well Deane! You're a blessing to all mankind

Great video. Glad ur back.

4 years later and this is still helpful! Thank you so much!

wonderful video. subscribed

This great. Thank you. I'd love to see this sort of description about all edible mushrooms.

Thank you for your website and I'm glad you're back on youtube. You are very captivating and informative. Keep it up!

As usual, your information is very comprehensive and very interesting. Thank you!

Very extensive and informative. Thank you! Congrats on ep. 150!

Awesome! I've got these suckers all over my yard! I'll add, they always smell terrible after they start to deteriorate and they usually pop up after a good rain.

Really glad you're back, and love that you're talking about mushrooms! Pacific Northwesterner here and we love mushroom season in the fall.

Glad to see you back I know I am late. However a few years back I started watching your videos, I was also late then. However during your break I got all caught up on your videos. I love, love, love your videos and have learned so much. I want to continue learning. Somehow I understand your teachings better than getting them from other sources. I hope you can continue. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for your EPIC content sir! Thank you!!! Love the little side annotations :)

Excellent video for 150! Most enjoyable.

I get excited when I learn a new edible. I found some of these this morning here in NW Fl. I wasn't sure, but this video is just what I need to see. Thank You Mr. Green Deane 👍

Love the video, glad you’re making videos again & covering mushrooms too. Armillaria sp. is mildly toxic(notdeadly) when raw, but choice edible when thoroughly cooked. I personally suspect many that have digestive distress from honeys are due to undercooking, as it is well documented the stomach distress raw and undercooked Armillaria sp. cause. I have never met anyone that has issues with fully cooked Armillaria, but I’m sure there is a few. I attribute undercooked honeys to majority of complaints tho.

Good to see you posting videos again!

Green Dean. Always telling people about you. Love the vids. 👍👍👍✌👍👍

Great video, as always! Thanks. I’m pretty sure I found ringless honey mushrooms in my yard here in western Central Florida. I really appreciate the detailed descriptions and pictures so I can confirm what I have here. Thanks again

Wonderful video.

We are lucky enough to have these growing in huge clumps around our yard. They are very enjoyable to eat.

I came across this video cause I found some in my yard!! I’m becoming a mycologist as well I’m trying to major in biology and biochemistry and everything about a mushroom is just soooo fascinating!!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! Subscribed 😊

Great video! Thank you

Thanks Green Dean, we have a cluster of RHM in the garden and I have enjoyed seeing and working around them , the cluster is withered now but if they return next season I may give them a fry. Cheers on the 1061st Holy day of Apocalypse in revelation of God. Your heavenly brother Charles Andrew Oyedele Ososami Peace

honey mushrooms. there are other mushrooms i prefer to taste but honeys are SO prolific that they are undoubtedly the mushroom i’ve consumed the most of. they’ve become loved and familiar like a comfy old sweater. never seen a ring less one tho. yet. (NE Ontario)

Super helpful. Thank you!!!

I have these growing all over my backyard. The clumps are following the roots from a tree that blew over during hurricane Matthew. I'm going to eat some of these and if I live I will post another comment about the taste. (Central Florida)

I find a lot of the honey mushrooms with rings and find them to be delicious also.

As preppers foraging is one thing that we do. When meat runs out in a Grid down situation. One can always forage. I eat mushroom, yet do not forage for them. My wife gets sick eating any mushrooms .That is another reason I do not forage them. Shalom

You mentioned blackberries. Blackberries are amazing. I hate their thorns, I hate their seeds, but the berries are one of the best tasting berries I've ever had.

Another great video! mushrooms are one thing i don't chance with, unless i see you eat one first i will eat one an hour later! thanks for sharing green dean : )

Have you published any books. Its hard to find a good foraging book that has full color photos to easily identify various edible plants especially here in florida. I would love to forage but would like a book like the one I described instead of trying to search hundreds of videos. But great work.

Most interesting, thanks

Foraging mushrooms and cliff diving are similar in that if you're not good at it you'll never know.

Fantastic, thank you.

this series is really good. hpoefully you can return!

pain in the grass! thank you for that Green Dean!

Very good!

Thank you

You are so right about the levels people go though when learning wild edibles. Just like you said, I learned some local grasses, then my head started to spin learning about others so I gave up and just stuck to locals, ha.

Man I wish this guy was my uncle... I am soo interested! I’ve got tons of forgeable territory but am terrified to pull a leaf.

I miss your content and face! I pray that you’re doing well. Please come back when you can.

I've recently discovered your blog and videos I'm fascinated! Looks like you're in the FL area, if so, any edible mushrooms to look for in south west FL?

Very informative. Much Blessings to you. Thanks for sharing, Lord-Jesus-Christ dot

Your videos are great. Is there a trip to the South Carolina in the future? If so when and where.

I found another mushroom last fall, the coral mushroom, which seems easy to identify. It looks like cauliflower that's going to seed. It too is cespitose and edible.

Hope you are doing well. Cheers!

I live in Oklahoma and found a clump of mushrooms growing at the base of a stump. Didn't know what they were, but I'm now wondering! Next time I see them I'll do a spore print and check them out closer. Maybe something to eat! And, yes, I will only eat one to start, if I think they match your ITEM!

I'm a little bummed, I think I've had these growing near a cut down tree for a couple of years... I should have investigated sooner!

Its Great to see you back on youtube. I have watched 122 Vids of yours so far. I had a break myself from youtube. Roasted Morel Mushrooms are my favorite wild Mushys

I Poland they are always marinated into jars.

1:22 I thought you did a pun. "grasses are tuft"

If I didn’t know any better... I’d say that’s Hampton Park at 1:00...

can the ringless honey mushrooms be grown indoors? if so where can I get spores?

Black trumpets Wow....

I know people who can't eat green peppers because they get digestive upset but they're not listed as inedible, everyone has different dietary restrictions. :)

When frying caps you fry both sides? Maybe a total of 15 minutes cooking time?

These are one of the great mushrooms for steak sauce. Cook a steak, throw in some of these and deglaze the pan with the mushroom liquid. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, and throw in a bit of roux to thicken. Fantastic. As good an accompaniment for steak as morels, in my opinion. OTOH, I didn't like these with eggs. Sauteeing mushrooms with onions, then scrambling in some eggs is my go-to mushroom dish. These are a little too earthy for the light flavor of eggs.

I was able to identify a very nice ringless honey mushroom specimen from the instructions although I did not eat them because they were water logged. I got a very decisive white spore print. I wish it wasn't there though because it is ruining my oak tree.

How you doing today.i would like to explore your mind on. What 10 garden crops should you grow in a shtf and why. Very good video. Thanks

does anybody know if ibs is a factor? they sound delicious and i'd love to try them but if ibs is a big factor in how upset they make your stomach then idk if i can...

3:15 cough* in aorry you are right sir.

is it at all feasible to grow mushrooms on prepared logs? if so, would this variety be suitable?

After they are dried and rehydrated, does it make them more chewy in texture?

Love the video, buy a shotgun mic!

I would like to pick mushroom but I don’t feel confident yet

some grasses have gramine too

What are your thoughts on eating Amanita muscaria mushrooms as a food and not getting high off them? I heard you can boil the mushrooms and that makes the mushroom edible but if you drank the water you would alter your state of consciousness and get poisoned.

Are you still alive? One of your last videos was foraging for mushrooms then 2 days latter - nothing! Hope your well, love your videos.

👍

Found some in my yard.

1st ... (well, now I can edit) ... These are also known as "Popinki or podpinki or pidpenky" correct????? My grandmother, her sisters & my mother would often go out and pic them when I was young. They would make soup out of them. Mushrooms, "zapraska" called "rue" in English - which is simply butter and flour in equal proportions fried to dark brown (the darker the more strong the flavor); onions, garlic, and doughballs ... etc. (THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL RECIPE ... I'm just guessing at the content, because unfortunately I never got the recipe) But it tasted great.

Word...

I love these things. But whether it's due to the environment here or just my poor luck, there's almost always contaminated with fungus gnat maggots by the time I get to them.

Too chewy is right. Just don't care for them.

Do you sell books ?

Hey Deen where are you?

ha ha..
