Thanks for bringing up the best mushrooms for subbing meat! This is especially timely on a Friday during Lent (abstaining from meat is an obligation for Catholics on Ash Wednesday & Fridays thru Good Friday). Tips like these can help people make more vegetarian meals, and possibly veer toward a Vegan lifestyle.

I thought I hated mushrooms for so long. Turns out I just hate button and criminis! Lol. I'm currently growing lions mane and will start some king oysters soon! Thanks for helping expand the mushroom horizon!

Omg I love this! Thanks to you I've gotten to know so many new varieties

I love mushrooms. They don’t love me. Turns out that I’m allergic to their spores. Especially oyster clusters, my old favourite 😞. Found out the hard way in the bathroom at midnight when due to start a 3am shift 🤕

"There are over 50 thousand species of mushrooms but we only typically uses a few of them for food" Well I do eventually make sure it's not poisonous that's for sure 🤣🤣

Dudeeee, so many ways lion's mane can benefit someone's life. Delicious, and so crazy nutritious. The potential in neurogenic support and cuisine is nuts, VERSATILE AF

In Asia, we have something called rat/mice ear mushrooms. They have a texture very similar to boiled jellyfish.

My favourites are pine mushroom, enoki, shmeji and the beautiful king oyster. Love them all! Been hunting down wood blewits as keen to add them to my recipes too.

I'm starting my garden, and I'm using all my plastic mushroom containers I've saved from the year to start my seeds. Just poke holes in the bottom, add soil, and viola! You've got yourself virtually free plant containers.

Sprouts sells lions mane mushroom faux meat crumbles.

Loved this video…it’s giving me Alton Brown vibes and he was always a favorite of mine. I love all of these mushrooms! Thanks for all you do! I’m loving your vegan meat cookbook.

Awesome video! Yeah portabella mushrooms are great but the texture isn’t fooling anyone. It’s amazing how much you can do with king oyster and lion’s mane mushrooms

I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??

One of my favorite ways to eat portobello mushrooms is sliced, sauteed with onion and served on a pretzel bun with smoked vegan cheese and some guacamole. It is so good!

I love mushrooms! And your videos! Those were blue oyster or baby oyster mushrooms! The brown / Italian Oysters that I have seen before have all turned up at the edge of each cap. Those ones (blue) have a round cap that is concave and has a very visible lip that curls down!

Awesome idea for a video Bro! 🍄 You’re one of my favorite humans! Mush love , and have a great day! :) best wishes to you and your family! Thank you for your videos! :)

I loved mushrooms b4, but u make me luv them even more! Love ur content✊🏾, keep up the good work ✌🏾

I love mushrooms 😍 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

Loving the mushroom content!

Wow looks so tasty:) will try

My favorite Vegan Mexican joint in El Paso uses black pearl mushrooms from full circle mushrooms. They are awesome! I thought I was eating real meat! Like with gristle! Have you ever had, Mark?

I have only bough portobellos once and honestly, not worth the extra money I had to spend :D If I buy anything else than white button mushrooms (which are the easiest to find and cheapest in Poland) it is clusters of oyster mushrooms - tastiest and still accessible price-wise! Plus, the texture is just super interesting (i definitely prefer it to king oyster). I loved this informative video, thank you a lot! . Anyways, sending you a lot of love and wishing you a great start of spring!

Thank you, I was a vegan for many years and never ventured into mushrooms besides the portabella. I want to make meat a rarity in my diet so I’m very excited to test out the oyster mushroom it looks so good.

I like to use the stalks of ports as a vegan shredded chicken

Mushies are the best. Although dissapointed you didnt include the dried shiitake. Probably the best tasting in my opinion.

Thank you for this video! I’m obsessed with mushrooms and there are so many more delicious ones! I feel like most people when they say they don’t like mushrooms have probably only tried baby Bella. My favorite is the hedgehog mushroom 😛

I like this style of video. Keep em coming!

This was a great video and really enjoyed the deep dive thanks for the wealth of insight and high production!

Thanks!

Unfortunately even the "recyclable" plastic containers that mushrooms come in aren't truly recyclable - resin types one and two can often be re-used after processing once or twice in less fragile applications (like re-formulating it as part of a larger whole of other materials), but other resin types usually can't be processed for even that if you're in the US and most countries. That little "recycling" symbol you see on the packaging is not a recycling symbol - it's a resin ID code, which plastic manufacturers lobbied to have put onto packaging - officially it's an entirely different symbol from the recycling symbol, not meant to imitate it, but clearly tricking people it is a recycling symbol was the intent of the designers.

Ive been starting eating less meat and these vids are a blessing.

I use the plastic mushroom containers as planters to start seeds in.

Thank you for spending the time to provide us recipes.

I would really, really appreciate if you could develop more recipes with white button mushrooms, these are the only mushrooms easily available in my grocery shops. Greetings to you and Monica.

I love mushrooms so much! I eat them nearly every day and whether they are the side or complement to main dish, they are always a delight. I think my issue with them is that compared to meat, the macros and nutrients to a lot of meats I find preferable. Everyone should cook with mushrooms more period.

Great video 👍 these are also super medicinal, but I love shiitake the most, making chips out of them

I'm already familiar with each of them and have used them for cooking (tho not as intensely as you have) but still found this video enjoyable. Great breakdown! Best bets for good quality, very fresh, grown ones for all of these is farmers markets if available in your area.

Brilliant video, as all your videos are 🥰 Thanks so much. My grandmother also used to call mushrooms “meat of the forest”. I remember as a child we went foraging for hours in autumn. From her I learned to identify a few to eat, and to never destroy any, because even those inedible to us have a use in nature 🥰

The magic of mushrooms 🪄 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

Wine caps are noticeably absent from your list. I would consider them a common mushroom because they're the most ubiquitous garden mushroom, being the easiest to grow. All you need is woodchips as a substrate, which many gardeners use as mulch. Wine caps grow bigger than portobellos and are used much the same way, but their flavor is more woody and earthy.

I tend to use those plastic cartons as beds for seedlings namely quinoa and certain other sprouts ceilings that are eventually going to turn into more delicious plants let’s put it that way or flowers depending if I’m in the mood to make flowers you know so they can be recycled as planters will tip in case you don’t want to throw them in the recycle bin and you’re looking for something really good to plant some thing you would like to try I recommend quinoa by the way quinoa grows really rapidly with very little water and it needs very little water to be honest to keep growing beautifully if you forget to water it and it gets dry believe it or not you can just add water when it looks almost dead and it will come back to life and the seeds are really delicious even when they’re just plain sprouts just an idea to think about. In my house we try not to waste anything that comes in a package although we do have recycle bins.

i love portos in fact i use almost exclusively portos but i have never tried some of the others you have mentioned here so i am looking into finding ways of getting some of them. especially that trumpet one. when i cook there are three ingredients in just about everything i cook. garlic, onion and of course mushrooms

I use the plastic containers to start plants.

What? No morels??? LOL

I agree Lions mane mushrooms rock, I love the delicate flavor

Do you grow you're own mushrooms?

Loved it! And I love mushrooms, too. Thank you.

Wow another amazing video thank you!

Liberty caps are my favourites

You can recycle the plastic film with Ridwell. It's not that expensive and it's nice to know not going to the landfil.

Lions mane, oysters and maitake are pretty easy to identify when foraging. Of course, do your homework and know what you’re doing but it’s worth learning. We were at the Asian market last week and we were like OMG, we just found $15 worth of oysters while hiking yesterday! In Maryland, we usually find them on Tulip poplars, often very near a certain. Also maitake are usually much larger when you find them in the wild. In our area they usually grow around the base of oaks, and you can especially find them tucked in the crevices of red oaks in late summer/ early fall. The 2021 maitake harvest wasn’t great last year compared to 2020 but we still had enough for our favorite use, vegan jerky, and we had enough to give away and also tide us over for months. We haven’t found as many lions mane while hiking, but when we do, it’s always a happy day!

I just found your channel and I'm so happy I did. And I wonder why I haven't earlier lol Your video are soooo great

I understand how mushrooms can recreate texture and maybe taste, but what about the protein intake?

Awesome. Super helpful, I’m still new to mushrooms but I love them. I just realized I’m not a huge fan of white button mushrooms. I love enoki and woodear mushrooms too!! 💜

My oyster and lion's mane grow kits are on their way! I got some logs that have been drying for a couple months, can't wait to start growing them. Specifically lion's mane, that's such an exclusive item. Subbing meat with mushrooms is great, but do keep in mind that they don't have the protein that meat does. Be sure to substitute that too.

From India with love !

I feel like something I would have loved to hear you touch on in this video is which mushrooms are your favorite to dehydrate

Super informative! Thank you!

Your videos are really inspiring! Hope to be able to do what you do in the future👏🙏

I'm not a mushroom fanatic. But, watching this video really makes me want to go find some of these and try them. Thanks for the video!

You're very fortunate to have these mushrooms available in your markets. I'm confined to white, portobellos and the occasional shitakes.

I have yet to meet a mushroom that I don't like. This video made me SO hungry! 😅

I use mushrooms cuz thier usually cheaper than meat and can dried in the oven for storage. If you have a coffee grinder or magic bullet, those home dried shrooms cam be turned into mushroom flour without the ridiculous price tag.

"...and it's the last mushroom in this video" the video ending instantly after this line was too funny.

I would say that if you have one in your town to just get the oyster mushrooms at the Asian markets because they are much cheaper than Whole Wallet.

The lion's mane mushroom looks like a pet.

I loved this video!

Blue Oyster Cult! I get it now!

Portobello Mushrooms make great fajitas.

You introduced me to King oyster mushrooms and I'm forever grateful. They're incredible and I'd eat them every day if they weren't so expensive where I live

My favorite mushrooms are Pheasant back mushrooms when raw they taste like cucumber but when cooked its like a charred chicken flavor its interesting

What a helpful informative video!

Those mushrooms look awesome but I admit I don't buy them (except for regular champignons and their brown variety) because of the cost. 😬 King Oyster scallops sound really appetizing for sure!

I don't know if I said this already in another video or if anybody else's said it but I feel like you're like the new age Alton Brown when it comes to cooking.

I see thinning in your face and shoulders. This way of eating is working for you.

Please more mushroom recipes 😍 or tricks

Mushrooms- the ORIGINAL meat! :)

When are you gonna use Chicken of the woods?

Here's hoping the supply of lion's mane increases due to popularity. I can still find cheap chia seeds (and you know that trend drove the price up).

Love it

OK, when you started to pet the mushroom I had to leave.

SHrOom mAn!!! 😵‍💫

My biggest concern with using mushrooms as a meat substitute is getting enough protein in my diet, especially when compared to other meat substitutes like TVP or tofu. Do you have any tips for how to work around this issue, or am I just underestimating how much protein mushrooms actually have?

Not the keto sponsorship. High carb high calorie vegan with moderate exercise was key to my 30 lb weight loss health journey. Mushrooms are great tho! Keep it up

My man. The Walter White of vegan meat.

I thought we might be getting a surprise animal ethics video, but very informative none the less

Why mushrooms are packed like that: in the produce section at the grocery store, often times veggies, fruit and mushrooms will come in bulk and its up to the produce workers to package it. The store is too cheap to buy different types of packaging, so they just throw the mushrooms into the same trays that other veggies get, because that's what the store buys for them to use.

You better tell people that they should drink a lot of water oyster mushrooms are high in fiber and because of that they can constipate you it’s highly recommended that when eating oyster mushrooms that you drink a great deal at least that is what I was told by both the doctor and found on the cover of one of these oyster mushroom packets. I don’t know if it’s true or not but I haven’t taken any chances. Would really like to know if it’s true.

This was very helpful

I ate a big bowl of mushrooms whilst watching this! You are the man!!

Enjoyed watching this video👍

im not a fan of ports and button mushrooms. used to not like mushrooms till I found out about the others.

I’m starting to really love mushrooms

Great video!! Also, maitake would be pronounced like "my - take" :)

Confession: I use recipes from this channel on champignons because they are more flavourful than the oyster variations. I actually like mushrooms so I want them mushroomy, not meaty.

oooh i'd love to taste all these

Hi, thanks for this video. I immediately started looking for these mushrooms in my home in the Netherlands. I can only find dried versions in Asian supermarkets and elsewhere. For example, I saw the dried Lions Mane mushroom. Do you perhaps have an idea how I can best use the dried Lions Mane mushroom? Thanks in advance!!!!

Great video! We featured your video this week on my website on our "Concessions" page. Link is in my bio!

I'd personally say that the fishy mushrooms could be fish substitutes
