I hope you also do public speaking seminars, you are an excellent speaker and so very knowledgeable my man!

This video is a great example of why mushrooms are so much fun to learn about. So many species with so many ecological roles.

I'm happy to see this video. Often the non-edible/medicinal mushrooms get ignored. Nice to see a spotlight on what otherwise might be passed by. Thanks!

Love your videos. So informative and clear. It has inspired me to “learn my land” and encourage my 8 and 5 year olds too, getting away from their ipads, opting for a quick hike on a trail. You have given us a healthy quality option to spend time as family during the pandemic. Thank you. 🙏

This man is a Blessing

thanks Adam. I found a large black trumpet cluster in the woods thanks to you!

"call em whatever you want the fungus doesnt care!" love it.

Seeing the destroying angel at the end made me VERY glad for my hard-and-fast rule of "if you don't know it, don't eat it." I have a number of gilled white mushrooms in my yard that my shroom-loving squirrels haven't eaten all week...perhaps that's why. They eat many other types, and other white mushrooms, too. And leave me some in trade for stale cornbread and potato chips. To clarify, no, I don't trust squirrels to be my cupbearers. I have yet only identified and eaten chicken of the woods on my land, though I have found more than thirty types of mushrooms so far. None so small as these, but then, I apparently haven't been looking closely enough. :)

This guy is a great instructor- inspiring, charismatic, humorous and intelligent, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

It was the Destroying Angel that got me into mycology almost 20 years ago. I moved out into a wooded area and they popped up all around. They look so pure and smell so good. They were inviting me to taste them, but I had a very strong hunch that I needed to get a positive identification on them first and I am glad I did. Then I began learning more about fungi

Love the vids man PLZ keep em coming! I’ve been foraging every day thanks to your encouragement. Great content. Bells on 🔔

They're so tiny! I love it.

Love your videos, Great educational information. Thanks for what you love to do, and sharing your knowledge with us. 👍

I was squinting and zooming tiny mushies all day! So glad I found this upload to give me a place to start with my ID. So often they dry out too fast to get spore prints or a good ID.

Love Adams channel...Love to hang out with him one time and pick his brain...... He really seems like fun guy......

I love the music, every time!

Another fantastic video! Thanks, Adam!

I dig Adam! Keep it up, Your on the right path, I love your teaching style...

Cheers from Mississippi, you're like the Carl Sagan of mushroom hunting.

I’m Just getting into mushroom hunting for more than our morels around here. Your channel is wonderfully educational and fun! Thank you for your enthusiasm and sharing your knowledge. I was delighted to have found one mushroom that you showed here, the Destroying Angel! I look forward to watching my more of your videos.

Excellent video. Great filming, great location, and great info! 👍🏻

Your videos are always getting better. This was great! I hope you do a video on the little brown mushrooms we see growing in the grass in our yards.

My family loves all of you videos!!! Your teaching style is wonderful. Thank you for all that you do and share with everyone.

Keep going, you are doing a service to humanity.

I love this time of year! A wealth of mushies popping out all over!

Fascinating!❤️

I love little mushrooms. When they are appreciated, it shows that person has attention to detail and love of life.

That last one, instantly recognizable, even though I have never seen it growing, just in field guides and online. Fun video. I find so many mushrooms that I just can't identify. And I can't always collect them or get a spore print, but I can usually get a photo. But that is not often a sure way to identify a fungus. So I am just used to the fact that there are many strange and beautiful fungi out there that are just part of a fleeting encounter with mysterious organisms that make up our world. We don't have to know absolutely everything. Even if we don't remember a particular encounter, it becomes a part of who we are. And if you look for these little fungi, or tiny plants or insects, you will never be bored. But you will have stains on the knees of your trousers. Also, do you ever use a hand lens?

Great video. Thank you. I am watching this from Europe and it is interesting to see the differences and similarities with the species over here.

Thanks Adam! I love the Midas story on the Ionomidotis! Could even help one remember the name. Thanks for including the Amanita Bisporigara. As a new myclologist I was very determined to find that species. I have now found it twice, both doubles. Here (Miss. Coast) they last exactly two days! They stink to high heaven when they are done!!!!

#TotallyAwesome amazing and beautiful super food healing mushrooms... Wow! Thank you for shining sharing #GreatGoodMedicine

I have a couple of questions for you if you have the time and inclination. I have some reishi that were plug inoculated into mulberry(I'm pretty sure) and they're coming along swimmingly just plopped on the shady side of the house where the rain falls off the roof. I noticed a couple of odd things after harvesting one that had grown around a few stalks of grass. Firstly, that the grass on either side of the fruiting body appeared brown and dead whilst the portion that was encased was still vibrant green and showed every sign of life, and secondly, that when I made small cuts to remove the embedded grass, the fruiting body would secrete a pinkish orange liquid that appeared to polymerize on contact with air as it formed a clear sac like surface that was discernible when probing with a toothpick. I assume this is a concoction used by the fungus for sealing wounds, but my curiosity lies in the fact that it was only secreted from flesh directly adjacent to embedded grass and other similarly cut areas away from grass showed no such response. Do you have any insight on this disparity, why the embedded sections of grass seemed fine, and whether there's any medical relevance to these excreted compounds? I wish I had had the foresight to save a piece exhibiting this to send to you, but that one is already a quart of beautiful tea. I'll try to replicate it with one of the budding fruiting bodies out there and better document it.

Should be smallmouth fishing in that beautiful stream Adam..thanks

I've been out the last two weekends and been rewarded with a WEALTH of edible fungi (L-O-T-S of Lactarius indigo, Summer Oysters and Smooth Chanterelle this season) as well as many interesting non-edibles. I focused on small mushrooms the past couple seasons, trying to find some of those M. scorodonius/Garlic Mushrooms. No luck there...yet. Thanks for sharing more knowledge with us, Adam. I appreciate you.

Your channel is amazing. This is knowledge that is very rare and valuable. Please keep it up!!

awesome Adam even on small insignificant mushroom tell👍👍👍

Your intro music reminds of "Everybody hurts" by REM haha Great video, I'm going to keep an eye out for these species.

Found a sheep’s head in western PA already

Just watched you video on how you built Learn your Land ... I think you should monetize your KZfaq account.... you should have multiple streams of income. Your videos are great you should get paid for your work.

Great video Adam! Your mycological knowledge is truly impressive. Next time I venture out into the woods I will be looking for mushrooms. Thanks!

The intro made me think about all the non-fruiting fungi we don't even see and are fundamental to ecosystems. Can you make a video about this? Maybe finding the mycelium and teaching how they reproduce and spread their spores. Just an idea. As always, thanks a lot for the great content you make, I really appreciate the interesting information.

Nice little surprise on a Friday!

Bro your knowledge on this stuff is incredible!

Thanks Adam 👍

Love Your work Man! Keep it up!

Awesome video! Keep up the good work!!!

Some of strobilurus secondary metabolites are used as agricultural fungicides. Never heard about medical use.

I thank the universe for my camidganoities every day

12:52 at the base of a tree in the background looks like a mushroom of a sort. Great video! Thank for the hard work, you're my go to fungi dude! Edit ; after looking closer it's maybe a chunk of moss.

Love your videos man, always learn a lot. Hope to meet you someday and nerd out about some fungi!

Good stuff. “Me and my mushrooms “ - my friends sigh :-)

Good stuff. Always fascinating. Thanks so much.

Thank you,😇

Wow! So cool

Adam, considering how simple and specifically adapted the fungi kingdom are do you think they evolved a long time ago and did very very gradual changes after that? I can imagine that there were similar looking mushrooms when dinosaurs walked the Earth

I found one of those "Old man of the woods" last week and tried to look it up but couldn't... so glad you showed that! I love your videos... Such great info! Thank you!

Thank You Adam, A wealth of fascinating information in splendid settings as usual. 💚🌎

I've recently discovered your channel and I'm glad I did; I've also subscribed too! Love your channel and especially how detailed you you are when explaining a species! Thank you for your knowledge and looking forward to more of your stuff!

I really appreciate your videos

Super!!!

the beggining of this video helped me out with manhood related issues i have

Great instructional video.

Cute. And interesting..

Thanks again

Keep up the good work...can't wait for the next one

Well done

Great information Adam. Thank you for sharing.

When are you gonna do one on tree identification?

This has been the most EPIC mushroom year of all time!!!!

Awesome video, I wish you came to where I live in Rhode Island. Mushroom season is just heating up...

Occasionally wrong... OK... We all are, but you, frequently wrong.. I doubt it! "The mushroom doesn't care what you call it" "A rose is a rose...". Thank you for sharing this knowledge in such a detailed & articulate way.

you're a national treasure

I just imagine this guy crawling on the ground to find these

Omg you should definitely do a collab video with "Crime pays but botany doesn't"

"...who actually had a killer wig" Ahaha. Very killer wig.

I love your videos man super interesting thank you !

Friendly correction: king midas was actually a king with a magic touch that turned anything he touched into gold

Although the Latin def does say 'moldy, musty', I have always considered 'mucida' in myco nomenclature to refer to the alternative def: slimy, snotty, (related to _mucus_ or _mucilage_ ) like the Mucidula (Oudemansiella) mucida. www.mobot.org/mobot/latindict/keyDetail.aspx?keyWord=mucidus Again, lots of hilarious AI transliteration on CC. Thanks for showing us the ask oh my seats!

Hey Adam. Great work as always. I was hoping for a shout out to my personal favorite small mushroom, chlorociboria aerugenascens. I'm seeing a lot of green stain out there in central pa these days. And it's always a treat to see the fruiting bodies as well! Cheers!

Your content is so top notch. Love your work man! Wish I could do a colab video with you AND, I would love to go on a mycology walk with you. I would learn a ton! Wait a minute, you are in Pa! Maybe we could team up sometime!

I look at ALL of dem!!! I love the little brightly colored one's and take macro pics of them. I have a lot of pics. Hard to identify though so don't eat em

Mahalo my brother!!! Always great videos and the best info!!!

Can u show pics of brown an or really dark brown mushroom plz let us know what r poisoned an how to tell

The most hilarious thing to do is watch the closed caption done by KZfaq for your videos, when you provide the Latin binomial😂😂😂

Mushrooms are the missing link in our diet that could allow us to live longer and healthier lives. Keep in mind how much of our illnesses at least in America is cause by the food we eat.

Absolutely love the description of match stick fungi and the history of its origin. Awesome work Adam! What microscope do you use? Or could you do a video of some of the equipment you use to do your research?

What are those cute lil stem mosses at 14:40? I'd love for you to integrate mosses, lichens and grasses into your videos! :)

Thank you for this Great lesson great video!

Thank you for this truly inspirational video. I definitely would like to learn more about fungi, what they are? what they do? why do we need them?

Donkey ear mushroom works for me.

Thanks for the knowledge! I really appreciate your skills.

I would like to know if the little ones are poisonous or not, too.

Are you on iNaturalist? Would love to follow you there.

hi I am curious, will drinking mushroom steep tea break fasting? such as cordecepes, shiitake, lions main?

i 've noticed that there is always alot of debate between scientists. Just like they can 't agree on how long the Meadow Croft Rock Shelter was lived in by ancient peoples. 16,000 years or 19,000. This place is in PA. The Bering Strait land bridge is the same way.

Have you ever found a Psilocybe Caerulipes in your area? I know they are rare.. I have looked for years in Northeastern NY

Can u help me to know how of the reishi mushroom when dry I seem to have found but they r brown but I do believe that the reishi turned brown when dry they had called from a tree on the ground

I wasn't gay. But now I am for you

Hey Adam. Heard you were at the myco fest in Saranac Lake. I'm sorry to have missed it by I think you may have met Susan Hopkins and my buddy Matt. At any rate I was wondering if it's conceivable for an average Joe to get into viewing mushroom spores under a microscope. What kind of equipment would be required in terms of an entry-level microscope, and would it amount to a lot of money? Thanks and I very much enjoy your videos -- they are very informative.
