It seems like educational mushroom KZfaqrs fall into one of two camps, either they pretend that active species do not exist or it is their only focus (usually to the detriment of much usable information). Thank you for creating videos that shed light on all types of fungi!

Do you ever smell them before you have spotted them? The other day when I was hunting, I started smelling them. I stopped, looked around and immediately found some! I was able to cook them up with some venison tenderloins from my deer that same afternoon. Pretty darn good hunting day! Once you have smelled them, its unforgettable.

Matsutakes are tough to find if you don't already know areas where to look. Even if you know the plants they associate with, they won't necessarily be in the area, because they also require that podzolic soil you always find on the tip of the stipe. So, whenever you're exploring a new area, pack a garden trowel so you can dig down to see if the podzolic soil exists there. If it doesn't, then you're wasting your time looking for them. If it's there, then great. Look around for Kinnickinnick, aka Bear berry, Evergreen Huckleberry (5:09- this plant), and Prince's Pine.

I had heard that where you find candystick/red and white fungus in late spring or summer go back in the fall and look for Matsutake . I did just that and found some great specimens!
@mushroomwonderland12 жыл бұрын
Awesome, I have heard that too but I've never tested the theory, cool to hear, thanks! 🍄🤘
@duckshaker2 жыл бұрын
Alyson Carbary...The "candystick" is a plant, not a fungus. Its real name is Allotropa Virgata. You can find Matsutake where there is no Allotropa, but if you find it that means the Matsutake mycelium is present, and under the right conditions the mushrooms will be there. I've found Allotropa near sea level, and at elevations up to around 4000 feet, and it no doubt exists even higher. One more thing...it is only red and white for part of its growing season. Later it will become a dark brown.

You can cook them just like any other mushroom, saute them in a little bit of butter, salt pepper and a splash of white wine. There are many traditional Japanese recipes you can look up online. I like to put them in a pot roast because they are very tough and they hold up well under long cooking. I also like to just sautee them and pour them over a steak. Some people are just not huge fans of them.

Dry sponge or a brush. The sand was super annoying. My friend said to take em home "dirty" basically then clean em. Once the sand dries a bit it comes right off.
