Oyster Mushroom hunting yields a tree full. Watch all our mushroom hunting vids: goo.gl/o3Ycvz
We talk about mushroom identification, the identification books we like, and proper mushroom foraging methods.
Mushroom hunting for beginners starts with a good ID book, get the Audubon Mushroom Guide Here: www.gardenfork....
When foraging for mushrooms, be sure you identify them properly. Take a class or go foraging with and experienced person. Use two or more identification books to double check the edibility of your harvest.

thank you for the video. we found a bunch of tree mushrooms in our backyard. We picked some, incorrectly, then watched the video. Great information. Hopefully, we can forage these mushrooms in our yard for years to come. Here's to mushrooms, wine, onions and a great steak!

Great video, thanks for sharing! Definitely not a flower or plant. Unlike plants, you can take the entire fruiting body and it will not harm the underlying mycelia. The mushrooms will return next year in the same location, regardless of complete or incomplete harvest.

Wow, that was the Mother Lode of oysters! You didn't have to worry about leaving some, -- no ladder would reach to some of those at the top, lol. Here's to plenty of great mushrooms this autumn, too! Oyster mushrooms are so good -- and lots of others, too. It's amazing how many edible mushrooms there are.

At first this was a promising and kind-spirited video on oyster mushrooms. But it quickly became difficult to hear repeated references to this organism as a plant. 😩 Fungi are distinct from plants and in their own evolutionary group! In fact animals are more closely related to fungi than plants are! -Biologist

I am ordering some pink oyster mushroom plugs, and while I am doing most of them in bottles... I would like to do some outside.

if you drop some trees, try leaving a few 3-4' logs lying on the ground and inoculate them. or you can put the logs in a cool basement. also consider growing winecaps, they are very easy to grow on woodchips, from what i understand. thx!

Thanks for the suggestion... I figure I'll just create different micro-environments and collect as many plants and mushrooms as I can find use for... or interest in. I planted dill in a pot and monarch caterpillars ate the whole batch, but I've never seen so many monarchs around here... so next year I'll plant a whole section of raised bed with it. I am also in the process of retrieving Blue Spruce from two different yards where the owners want them gone. My plan is to have an evergreen border to whatever degree I am capable of the work. There are dozens of trees available, but only for the rest of the season. They range from 7 to 12 feet and I am doing the work myself with only shovels and ropes. I just started my third tree today. I would like to document for KZfaq, but I am too busy to film. Anyway, thanks for your time and consideration, I will definitely look into the Winecaps.
