Aaron, I am obsessed with your channel; I vastly preferred the old intro (it gave such a sense of wonder that all mushroom foragers can relate to). This new intro sounds way too unnature-y with the trap music beats, etc. although I still like the 'welcome to mushroom wonderland' and the food scenes :)

I'm a resident of the Kitsap Peninsula as well and went to the Kitsap Mycological Society's show at Olympic College. I've always been fascinated by fungi and hope to attend a meeting at some point in the future. I've never been foraging but would love to go with a guide some time. I'm guessing that by connecting with the Society I will be put in contact with those who wouldn't mind showing me the ropes.

Your little skeleton that you found is pretty funny! Because last year 2022 in the fall I was nowhere within a mile of a house out in the middle of the forest and I found a 4-in tall Gumby toy figure. You know who Gumby is right? The cartoon clay figure. Which I thought that was extremely odd. So you never know what you're going to find out in the middle of the forest.

I love your show, however I must admit I get a little frustrated by your random description of the mushrooms you find. You provide tons of information on some and very little on others. My suggestion is to cover a half dozen points for every mushroom first, then go on with other information. Then people can take notes and get the important points in the same order, first thing, every time. 1) Name 2) identifing charistics 3) edibility 4) Is it medicinal 5)type of strata it grows in 5) ways to prepare for food or medical. Just saying a standerdized format would help viewers get the important info without needing to search the video. Thanks for all the wonderful information and experience.❤
@Naturally-Kandice8 ай бұрын
I don't like the callous way you pick the mushrooms and just throw them back down like they are garbage. Please leave them growing to fruit and multiply. They need to do their natural process all the way through. Please don't spread this type of callous behavior to others. Too many people are out doing this and that is very bad for the environment. We need to leave them be. Remember our National Park motto: "Take nothing but a photograph and leave nothing but your footprints."
