Candy Land, Big Rock Candy Mountain, Candy Man, I Want Candy. What else am I missing?

The excitement in this video made me so happy :)

I love you Yellow Elanor! I live in Alabama but have been learning so much over the last year (from your videos and many other sources). I even joined the local (new, as of 2022) Alabama Mycological Association because of you. Thanks for spreading mushroom love to the world!

Thanks for introducing me to a mushroom I wasn't familiar with. Unfortunately, I don't think they grow in my neck of the woods. Happy Hunting.

For all 3 of you first you guys are amazing, awesome, fun and bubbly thank you for making the experience alive!😘

one of the best channels on youtube and its a brother sister team how cool is that, keep up the good work and upload more often thanks

Candy cap Ice cream!

sending buckets of forest love to you Rachel, and your brother and friends... I'm so loving the learning. keep up the awesome work.

Thanks for the video. Still haven't found Candy Caps in the Gorge but found a bunch at the coast recently. I think maybe Colin meant to say that they feel like newts not salamanders (salamanders are smooth unlike the Rough Skinned Newt). Cheers, thanks again!

yyou guys are awesome! thanks for doing this!

Don't Ever Stop Making Videos!

That was fun. Thank you both for sharing such an enjoyable day ( Thanks to the cameraman too) : ) George.

Thanks for the education.... I wasn't sure what to look for when I learned of these! Nice video

If I could hit the 'love' button, I would.

Another great and very helpful video. Your videos help us to learn not only the common edibles, but some of the lesser known edibles in our region. Last season I learned the "Blue Knight" from one of your videos I watched after I found them on Mt. Hood and didn't know what they were, now this. And all your videos are very well done. Please keep up the production!!!

Love what you do!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and heart. 💖💖💖

I love your videos! So entertaining! Great editing also! Keep up the good work!

Loved this video! I stumbled upon candy caps for the first time last autumn (L. camphoratus) but wasn't confident in the ID so I haven't tried them yet. I went back for more but it was too late. Hoping to find more in the same spot this year!

Great video and a lot of fun!

Love both of you guys so much! your videos bring me so much joy and how you both bond and enjoy mushroom foraging is so wholesome 😭😭

"Spit after you drank some milk" LMAO

Yay! Great episode. Loved watching you both in candy land.

I hope you guys continue to record videos. Very informative and I love the excitement levels. Keep them coming please

Mmm those are the mushrooms you used for our Thanksgiving dessert!

I love this!! Candy caps have been on my most-desired list for awhile now (I've yet to find them) but this video gives me hope. Thanks for all the great tips 💙 also, I love blue bus!

I Love mushrooms . I am south Korean . I was small I used to pick mushrooms just like you I can still Smelling I miss

🙂Your excitement is contagious! Colin’s (sp?) recipe ideas, especially with the description of the mushroom, sounds delicious. That balsamic dressing idea. And the pumpkin, candy cap and persimmon pie!

Thank you!!

Ooooooooo! I just found a huge patch of boletes! I’ll have to look around for candy caps!

I love your Channel thanks for providing quality content.

super excited to watch this. Really nice vibe an so much fun and really well presented interesting info. Thank you!

This is my fav video I love candy caps they are my most favorite mushroom they also said that they don’t grow in my area of southern Cali but I found a couple spots

great video! i would love to find some of these one day. love the long video and all the tips❤🍄

Awesome detail! super helpful, I wish I could have a video this detailed on every mushroom I am curious about. Keep up the good work! I found my first candy cap mushroom a few days ago and also a look alike. I only picked a few to bring home to exam 🥲 but now I know where they live!😁 thanks for the guidance!

i love your channel. it is very informative, you are delightful

Just awesome video! Take me home where mushroom aromas exude. Have a nice one!

Thank you for being amazing. Awesome and stuff.

These are so good. Most of my foraging experience has been informed by Adam Haritan's videos from Pennsylvania. Just like his, these are so well made and informative. Love the filmmaking as well. I look forward to searching for these in the Northwest. Super cool all around, thank you!

Lol...i want donuts! Nom nom nom. Seriously, i am jealous and would love some candy cap donuts right about now. 😁

This video was fun but I would like to see more close-ups to see the mushrooms before you pick them and after

Learning so much from you guys & inspired even more, keep giving & I am sure it keeps giving back, a secret maybe fungi can offer.

I've used mushrooms as trail markers many times.

Awesome vid! I love how you both describe different features of the mushrooms you hunt for. I don't think they grow in my area (Central Ontario) but after seeing this vid, perhaps some day I will find some. Wishing you much mushroom success. :)

I just grabbed and ID some of these after watching some of your mushroom identification videos! I picked the whole mushroom out, I’ve been smelling them, breaking them, and having lots of fun! Thanks for the knowledge. I probably won’t try and eat these. But I’ll dry them for the smell!

Great video to all of you! Loved the long form species feature.

I have never found candy caps before and I have looked for them. I think that if they grow in Georgia, they will be out in a time of year when the cold weather will keep the bugs off of them.

This was a great video. Loved it.

I've been following you for quite some time. you have such an amazing attitude and knowledge of the myco world. I would love to get you out to the Canadian Maritimes and show myself and a few others what to look for other than Amanita Muscaria var guessowii and cantharallus.

excellent....

Nice to know your last name is Zoller, sounds like you have some German/Austrian heritage. Greetings from Stummerberg in the Zillertal valley

Love it

Thank you for sharing this video. It is greatly appreciated. I will be keeping a close eye out for those this year.

Hello from Europe :) nice videos.. Keep em coming! The first Russula you found is so similar to Eu species Russula chloroides which has a bluish hue on lamelae.

Never tried a candy cap before! Don't think they grow near me, but I'm excited to try them one day 😊

I totally remember the first place I found porcini. Still go there years later. Still waiting for rain in Norcal. It's freaking December.

I have been getting fooled by these look alikes all season up here also in the PNW. They are slightly more bright orange, thick white milk, fatter stipe, and maybe a slightly more slick texture on the cap. White spore print. No smell when dry. They are absolutely everywhere right now early December. Must be a related species. Good video.

Great presentation

Such a fun video, I love the excitement!......... Where might I find them in the East Bay?

What was the lookalike mushroom to took home to positively ID?

Just picked candy caps for the first time. They are drying on my desktop. I'm drinking a glass of water and the water tastes maple-y. That's how strong the aroma is.

In my area they grow under acorn oaks

i want to get my hands on some of these to make a candy cap pecan pie.

I wish I knew someone who liked mushrooms as much as me

After watching this video, I went in search of candy caps up in Pierce County Washington. I found my first one and when it dried the smell was amazing! Thanks for the video! P.S. I was down in white salmon area a couple of weeks ago and saw Collin bringing in some of his product to a restaurant. I was too embarrassed to say hi, so I awkwardly smiled at him...

Still no sign of candy caps yet! SW WA 1200ft still a bit early but had to check my spots

great !

This feels like Pokémon in real life.

You lucky Dawgs!! So if candy caps can be found 'all over' does that mean I have a chance of finding them in the mid-west prairies? in appropriately soggy moss? Your collaboration with Colin is excellent and I hope there's more to come. Very conversational and educational. Learned lots so thank you! 🍄

nice.. i found a mushroom clump and was almost positive they were candy caps.. however, when I tasted them , the taste at the end of my tongue was disgusting and I had to spit it out ( which I normally do when testing mushrooms ) I was fairly disappointed.. however, thank-you for the tips on identifying.. now I will look for that orange peel like texture and the skim milk like excretion... thanks again!

Why don’t you move to Trout Lake Wa so I can come see you and go mushroom picking with you guys I’ll like to learn more from you

When are you planning to shoot an episode on hedgehogs? Another absolutely wonderful NW winter mushroom. I have picked them many times in the snow.

I would make one correction/note to this video, re: no deadly Russulas: There IS at least one fatally toxic Russula, Russula subnigricans, that kills via muscle tissue death and rhabdomyolysis: mushroomworld.com.sg/a-deadly-russula/ So make sure you know what this one looks like. Luckily, it's one of the blushing Russulas, meaning it stains red when broken, albeit sometimes quite slowly, and I don't think it grows in the PNW. But it has been found where I'm at (in the Southeast US). So it's worth noting and learning to identify when picking Russulas.

Random lighter lol wink wink. Cascade mountain high

Complexicated is indeed a real word. It means....well.......ummm.......complexicated. Much Love

Heh, pretty sure 23 minutes of that was just her strolling about going OMG MUSHROOMS LOOK MORE MUSHROOMS I LOVE MUSHROOMS WOW LOOK AT THE MUSHROOMS. Yet still I watched the whole thing so I'm not complaining.

Loved this episode! Headed to Mt Hood for those Donuts. I’ll let You find them and I will just eat them❤️🍄

I like the way Eugenia Bone described candy caps in her book, and how the scent permeates your body, that it pours out when you sweat in intimacy.

Hope to see new videos from you soon!

I have picked every brown mushroom in my land, still no candy cap.

Would you be interested coming to Missouri for a different fungi experience? Lots of coral and oyster in the fall and moral in the spring.

yaaaay

Neat I wonder if I can culture them?

how do Candy Cap hold up in a dehydrator machine?

I find the candy cap under oak trees in the Bay Area... maybe it’s the lesser one? Smells good!

😂I do that same replanting mushrooms thing.

Hi, where did you get those green coveralls?

I mushroom hunt on the east coast and in the midwest, but I want to do some west coast mushroom hunting as part of a vacation. I've found and enjoyed east coast candy caps (found in late summer, not winter), but I really want to hunt for the west coast varieties. What's the best region to find them in? What time of year?

Yay!

I like mushrooms

Thanks for this great video! I've had mixed results drying mushrooms that I've been assured are candy caps. I don't seem to get reliable or strong scent from them. When you say to dry "gently", what do you mean? Is that in terms of air flow, heat, or both. I have an excalibur dehydrator that can run with no heat, but the fan has only one setting so they still dry overnight and maybe faster. I don't have a simple fan I can set to blow over them for extremely gentle drying. Is the dehydrator with no heat still too aggressive to get the best results? It's nearing the end of the season. I've been finding them by the pound but I don't want to waste them if I can't dry them right. Thank you!

Are you aware of an east coast candy cap? I knew of them out west but don’t know if anything over here

Hi, under any tree ( exactly type) , this mushroom grows, please

Heyyyyyy, Hello from SC

Hello, Do you know if candy cap mushrooms grow in Florida during winter maybe, and how do I dry them? In the oven at a low temp?

i have a question~ I have mushrooms that grow underneath my hemlock tree (the non poisonous hemlock i forget it's scientific name) but they look like boletes of some kind but they exude a liquid.... it's a milky yellow. the mushroom themselves almost look like that first one you shared the "zellers"? bolete. are there any Lactarius mushrooms with porous gills rather than the stereotypical gills?

Or alternatively 'Complexified'.

What's the area that people say candy caps don't grow? You just said "our area" but not sure which range is your area

Does anyone know the range of the candy cap mushroom? I'm in Northern Georgia. :) Thanks in advance.

do you have a southeast version? purple madeline?
