Mind yourself Robbie you have played with poisonous snakes and killer spiders we dont want you killed by an omelette or a stake and chips dinner. Pick very carefully. Stay safe my friend. Very intresting video. Very enjoyable.

Great video, love the sentiment, but I fear there are some ideas here that are just myths. When a mushroom grows near trees it means its mycorrhizal, it formed a bond with the tree and they live in symbiosis, this by itself tells you very little about how edible a mushroom is, rather it helps identify the specific species, as they all have particular growth habits. The color of a mushroom is also not a good indicator of a quality mushroom to eat, there are thought to be millions of different species of mushrooms and the vast majority aren't known to be safe or not. Firstly you should find a type of mushroom you'd like to eat that you're aware grows in your area of hunting, then find out the taxonomy and morphology of that particular species (basically the way it grows and what it looks like and how it smells specifically) then study that specific mushroom's look alikes and find all their distinguishing characteristics. Otherwise you may just find a very toxic mushroom that fits these qualities and end up poisoned. There is a giant amount of information that grows daily available about mushrooms in your area, study hard and pick wisely.

I love bbq mushrooms. Mushrooms soup, mushroom gravy, butter sautéed mushrooms, skewered mushrooms, stir fry with mushrooms, pizza with mushrooms. God I love mushrooms. An old Italian once told me that they are the earths meat and I will never forget. Thanks Rob! We get those nice mushrooms here in Mildura too, you gave me confidence to go shroom picking myself.

You have to be careful of "Yellow stainers" too Robbie. They are just like the field mushroom, but they stain yellow when you rub them with your finger nail. They won't kill you, but if you eat them they can make you sick and give you the runs.

Hey Robbie! Good video mate. I forage mushrooms in my local area too. We only eat the huge white ones in the paddocks. They grown up to 30 cm high. Really nice crumbed 👍

Thanks for the knowledge mate. Good to see your out and about. Keepsafe love you videos.

Great vid Robbie! im a massive fan of mushrooms also! I would just add if you are looking at what you think are field mushrooms but not sure just give them a scratch, if they go yellow leave them alone, white gills are another good sign they are no good. As well as field mushrooms im a big fan of the pine ( saffron milk cap) slippery jacks, (got some sautéing ATM) and chiodini, (by far the best tasting of all but harder to find.) Sautéing them in garlic, olive oil and fresh parsley is also in my opinion a better way to get the best flavour out of them. Keep up the good work!

They look delicious! Andrew Fishman had a great video last year showing the major differences between deathcaps and field mushrooms. I'll play it safe and stick to the ones at the supermarket though I think haha

Robbie mate the cold weather with autumn rain is what turns them on

Thanks for great mushy tips. I was coming home this morning from a run and encountered mushrooms growing in a small nature-strip. No trees around. Looked like a mushroom and smelt like a mushroom. When I trimmed the stem, though, the inside had a yellowish tinge. My wife said not to eat them, so I didn't. Store-bought ones don't have this yellow tinge. What do you reckon?

Great work Robbie very informative! Next time show us which magic mushrooms to pick hahaha

Think I'll do a mushroom hunt in my paddock tomorrow morning I love my mushrooms this made me hungry for them cheers mate

there aren’t many mushrooms around here but i still enjoyed this video, thanks robbie:)

Yumm mushrooms we used to get them when we were kids haven’t got them in years though good instructions we only ever looked for brown underneath

I like the way you say brown. Good video

Thanks for the info never to touch any mushrooms that grows on or near trees

What i find interesting is that when i searched up differences between poisonous and safe mushrooms, it seems that all the people are either British, English, or Australian in the videos.

The underside of the mushroom somehow makes my skin crawl, it’s so uncomfortable, I can’t explain 😩

Great video 👍 nothing better than fresh field mushrooms 👌

You and I have both been in good paddocks Robbie! I love a feed of fresh mushies.

Great video mate

Nice video Robbie about mushrooms I was ignoring that there's some good eating mushrooms out there. As Italian I would love some risotto mushrooms especially if fresh 😜😁👍💪💪Ciao ciao Robbie

Can mushrooms grow in skin in the wonder land?

I used to photo and pick mushrooms up in Sweden. I mostly picked the chanterelle types but like you said keep away from those on wood. Although some fungi is deadly a lot of inedible ones just taste disgusting. However you should never eat any unless 100% sure you know what it is.

Nice Video Robbie, we were also taught as kids if you scratch the top of the Bell and it turns yellow it is poisonous. Ferrets, yabbies and mushy’s fun days...

a few years ago i grew mushrooms from a box set of mushroom compost, it was rubbish only got a couple so threw the compost under a bush id just planted, now I've get loads of what look like shop mushrooms growing there, would you eat them?

I think the orange mushrooms at 4:55 are called hen of the woods. If I'm right, they're edible

Hi Robbie have you found mushrooms growing in a "Fairy Circle"? We have several times, thought it was an old wives tail but it is true. Also, I was taught that if you can peel the shin on the hood right from the edge to the centre of the hood and not have the skin continually breaking in small pieces, you a mushroom not a toad. We have also picked mushrooms too big and tough to eat(dinner plate size), just left them for the cattle and goats. Enjoy but continue to be careful!

Nice video..Be careful.

What’s the best time of day to go fishing for Redfin

Very interesting

Looks nice

The ones that bleed blue are good to lol

Please be careful Robbie. Even experts with mushrooms have been caught out in the past with poisonous mushies

It is a nobrainer -even if you go to the supermarket the mushrooms there are brown underneath. I never touch anything that is white or yellow underneath.

Bravo.

Thanks mate

Mushrooms have tons of tiny little roots called mycelium in in scientists have called it a network because of it looks kind of like a network also the underground

What about Pine Mushrooms and Slippery Jacks Robbie you can find them in the pine forrests and they are great to eat

The 3rd ones on the tree remind me of chicken of the woods mushroom, yet it'd best to let it grow into a matured monster sized one to be edible

Thank you

you may know what to look for but a strong knowledge of what you are looking for is the number 1 rule

Hi robbie this is awsome thanks Thanks for commenting on my video

check out pine mushrooms, very distinct orange colour (and yes they only grow in pine forests)

Awsum as always mate! I have found maggots in the steams of some mushrooms over last couple years! Mainly in older looking ones.. anyone else seen that? Yeowwwww

I like the ones that turn blue on the inside

Your vid is quite apropos! The bloke that is camping at our place atm, is a retired samaritan builder. He went for a walk yesterday, he picked a big bunch of brown mushrooms, on the side of the road. He brought a tub to us. I took 1 look and said, 'NO good!' Dad pulls his,' I'm older than you card, been picking mushrooms since I was a kid in the 40s blah blah!' I still said, 'These are still no good! I can tell by the shape of them!' The looked LIKE Swiss Brown/Field mushrooms, but have a more dome shaped cap, thinner stem, and sun burnt easily. But the BIGGEST kicker, was the SMELL! These false brown/field mushrooms REEK of IODINE! Dad still wasn't convinced as they did NOT stain yellow, (as some of the others do!) But he peeled 1, and left it to oxidise for a few mins! THEN he smelt it! He also tried cooking 1 piece, & the whole kitchen stunk of iodine! I told our guest to chuck them immediately, & he did! These 1s often grow in big CLUMPS! I saw some at a local park on Sat. Knew they were crap straight away! As to growing under trees, there are many EDIBLE species that grow under trees! I often used to get BIG horse/champignons under river red gums, and slippery jacks under pines. Orange chantarelles also! Used to pick morels around central Vic as well, that look like an upside down pine cone on a stick! But your guide lines are sound! Also under the fauna/flora guarantee act, you aren't supposed to pick wild mushrooms from public land! (Private land obviously, doesn't count!)

Only eaten the ones that do go out of cow poo. Will try others following the rulz of course

Agaricus species can be difficult spore print microscopic images is often needed to ID the orange ones on the tree were gymnopolus sp. But your rules and a lot of experience is definitely needed for wild mushrooms 🍄 im no mycologist niether but used to pick bucket loads of these in the barossa and some of the biggest were dinner plate size

The river behind you Robbie looks fishy have you fished there and what fish are in there

Hey Robbie, why did the mushroom go to the party? Because he was a fun guy (fungi)

They start more pinkish than end up brown

Why no pick under trees?

Love those aussie accents!!

We got shit loads out in the orchard mate. Lovely.

i love the way you say fungi

What about chanterelle?

Ever done magic mushrooms?

Try with garlic and butter in the middle of them on the bbq mate.

I think there are poisonous field mushrooms also.

Robbie's mushrooming adventure's! I like it 😁

Yummeh! Watch OUT for 'Operation Portabello!'

The White dapperling mushroom is edible & it has white gills,not all of the brown gilled mushrooms are edible. If you scratch the top of the mushroom & it goes pink then it's edible,if it goes yellow then it's poisonous !

Psilocybe cubensis are even better

Only about 3 mins in brother, But you are missing out on some good tucka, Ignore what you think about trees, and being an aussie ( also almost all over the world ) there are 3 mushies you can pick with no mushroom that has same features that are poisonous and good in oz, Saffron milk cap, orange mushie and orange underneath, slippery jack, brown on top yellow honeycomb sorta looking underneath, touch the top if its slimy or slippery its a jack, none look the same ( look at pictures first and description and none are similar that are poisonous ) the other is porcini and again hard to mistake. All grom in australia and all over. Good luck picking brother and stay safe

I'm a mushroom at work.

Psilocybe cubensis 🤤

Mushrooms are so much cheaper than 40 years ago in the shop - not worth messin' with , just buy 'em. Plus , do you have yellow stainging mushrooms up your way - heaps in Melbourne , they grow on most nature strips when the weather is correct. They give you sore tummy if you eat them - but they look and smell just like mushrooms.

I ate a mushroom once didn’t go down to well

Hey Rosie I love your vids you inspire me so much to get outdoors and have a fish throw a yabby net in and just enjoy the country that we have, can you please give me a shout out awesome vids cheers, Brock👍 I'm 12 years old

I did a hike before all the pandemic found a red and white mushroom like u see in Mario wasnt gain enough to touch it wondered if it gave u a new life...well experience hahaha

I love how this guy goes on about what a mushroom is and is not and apparently the only thing that is a mushroom is a field mushroom 😄 They are all still mushrooms buddy.

here the fun fact: orange mushroom that growing on the dead tree or alive are edible but has no taste

The last of us gave me hella anxiety of mushrooms

SHITaki mushrooms ?

Me: Ahh what about the ones that grow in shht Robbie? 👀 Rob: It doesn't Matter if they are near it. Me: I think you're diverting the question Rob 😑🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We're my mushrooms

But oyster type mushrooms grow on trees, and tree bases? Only ones told on ground around trees and bases//roots ect.. are also oyster and morels, but others no. Even if look like yellow or brown oaks they are evil twin lol. Oyster mushrooms most don't have evil twin lol

I know exactly which mushrooms are edible the ones I buy in the store.

Just stay away from the magic mushrooms

The spores r attached to the roots Robbie, lol

I was worried about you Robbie

I love the blue meanies 😵😵😵😵

I escaped mormonism, and you can too

If you scrape the mushroom and it turns a yellowish hue, it is a poisonous mushroom...if it turns blue you just scored!

how do you not eat the gills

Shrooms are good

We found just now too many..it's eatable.we found under the 🌲

All mushrooms are edible. Some only once.

the good mushroom grow in poop haha

Go get the mushrooms from the cow petties those are the best ones lol just kidding Unless if you want a trip go for it lol

Tip ….take a little mirror with you and look under the cap , kicking and pulling every mushroom out of the ground just ruins them producing in the future , you said there wasn’t many around. , even more reason to leave them alone and not destroy them , great advice on not taking what you don’t know is edible and if your in doubt leave it alone as well , responsible foraging take what we need and not take every thing or they can’t not reproduce anymore , the older ones release there spore so we foragers can come back again and enjoy in the future , gets annoying seeing people just bust them up for no reason and wonder why there is none next time they go out.

One mushroom can kill an adult. Shiiiid ! Everything in Australia can kill you

Everyone be careful with picking any mushroom that has not yet opened, certain dangerous amanita species will look exactly the same.. I personally don’t think this video is a good representation of safe picking and suggest anyone who is going to pick and eat their own harvest do there own research on the particular mushroom you are looking for. Not just a “field mushroom”. Happy hunting’s 😊

You are a Fungi to be with.

Peel a mushroom?

Sorry I meant Robbie

First

I guess if they weren't safe to eat Robbie, you would not be around to be doing this video!

Play it safe and destroy them all. They are called fungus for a reason lol.
