Just finished 10 weeks in the forest teaching 6th graders. I spent 45 minutes in the morning hunting for specimens for kids to check out. Our mushroom table had a 10 inch red belted and a daily supply of oysters and panther caps. We even found some wolf's milk. Thanks for giving me so much to share with them.

I often see dead moles by the trail in Discovery Park. Thanks for your explanation .

@MushroomTrail 2 ай бұрын

It's always a fascinating sight, isn't it? Curious to know, are you typically seeing the smaller shrew moles (Neurotrichus) or the larger moles (Scapanus)? Or a combination of both? PS - that's a great Park!

nice vid.. poor bb mole :(

Thanks! And, yes, I was surprised to see those moles!

01:11 There's a lot of nearly identical lactarius like this one, huh? I can think of four off the top of my head (luculentus, subviscidus, subflammeus, substriatus) and there's probably a good deal more.

@MushroomTrail 2 ай бұрын

Yep - exactly! And I've seen Lactarius "out of season" enough that it is difficult to pin it down based on the time of year that I see it fruiting. Definitely tricky to pin down without closer scrutiny.

I’ve been seeing dead moles on my hikes at Point Reyes for years, always wondered why they were dying. I see them year around, and we get very little rain here from May to October (like zero) so in my case I don’t think it’s related to rainfall or flooding. They rarely show signs of of external damage so I’ve always assumed they just had short lifespans or some disease or both. Not sure!

Super interesting - the mystery continues!

I find indigo milkcap occasionally here. I inoculated a bunch of logs with oyster, lion's main and shitaki since I can't seem to find any.

@MushroomTrail 2 ай бұрын

Oh wow! I wish we had the indigo out here - that's a beautiful mushroom for sure! And very cool that you inoculated logs. Any luck with those logs fruiting yet? Curious to know what wood types you chose for each and to hear about your results.

@MynewTennesseeHome 2 ай бұрын

@@MushroomTrail I innoculated three types of logs for all three; white oak, hard maple and elm. I had some white oak logging done over the winter and also inoculated a bunch of the stumps. No results yet, I'm thinking fall at the earliest.

That's fantastic! You'll have to keep me posted on what the Fall season brings you. I've done a little experimenting with Shiitake plugs but still have a ton to learn in that arena. Hope you get a bumper crop!

Really loving these videos and feel like I'm learning so much! Kind of jealous of all your knowledge 😅 If you don't mind me asking, how did you learn all of this?

@MushroomTrail 2 ай бұрын

So glad you're enjoying them - and always excited to pass knowledge on! Even though I did spend many years learning & teaching about nature-based skills, the truth is that I'm still learning (and re-learning) each and every day. There aren't many days that pass where I'm not pulling a field guide or two off the shelf... so much out there to be curious about! I still have so much to learn ... and I'm just continuing to spend as much time as possible outside... and staying curious!

What’s up bro thanks for another great video, watching as I commute as per usual! Mushroom season totally died in early May here in coastal NorCal, so I’ve shifted my focus to foraging plants and home herbalism in my free time. Did you play Game of Shrooms this year?

@MushroomTrail 2 ай бұрын

Thanks brother! Always happy to bring a little joy to the commute! I totally missed out on Game of Shrooms this year, but heard about it - sounds like a ton of fun! Hope the plants are keeping you busy - I have no doubt that eventually the rains will bring the mushrooms back your way!
