Identify Wild Mushrooms & Edible Mushrooms With Peter Jordan

[iknoweverthin]

i had some small brown mushrooms a growing in my backyard so i dared my friend to eat one. he ate 3. then like 2 hours later in starbucks he was trying to climb the walls. psycedelic lol.

[MyTbradley]

I had these mushrooms growing in clusters in my backyard this past summer and I thought they were cool looking they were growing in an old dead tree but also were spread out on the ground. So I left them for their beauty. Then several weeks later I noticed a smell like a decaying body or something and seen the mushrooms were rotten and they were the one giving off the odor !!! Talking about freaky. Yuck !!

I picked my first field mushrooms yesterday and ate them for breakfast today! Delicious! I also found some conical mushrooms with an incurved margin, black dot (almost a dent) on top and dark brown margins, rest of the cap was a lighter brown with faint striations. Growing near field mushrooms. No sign of any veil, pinkish light brown gills and 5cm tall at the most, cap 1.5cm across. I can't find any ID for them!

@givemericht Where did u go Pick them??? man, I want some.

[Skunkfoot]

Thanks very much. Just discovered a park with about two punds of mushrooms just appearing now. Big and small, I'm up for harvesting them and see from your video that they will not send me into a frantic trip! Cheers, very usefull video.

Leaf through an identification guide and see if you still feel like collecting wild mushrooms; an edible mushroom often protects itself by resembling a deadly one. I love the idea of foraging, but I don't think it can be sufficiently stressed that most people are not qualified to pick mushrooms safely. This is the sort of thing that really ought to be learned via apprenticeship, if there is such a thing as a mushroom master.

[hillshurricks]

Thanks for this video :) Just what I needed to know.

[crazymoo56]

Mushrooms are given a bad name. Few are poisonous, but the ones that are... well, good job we have chaps like this to aid us.

[spamstoper3]

nice vid !

[brianchhangte]

Love wild mushrooms..they are tasty..

[Majikm249]

This was the most instructional and informative video yet to speak of covering edible species in fair to great detail. Excellent work!

[PhilWithCoffee]

I'm still having trouble identifying edible from poisonous/non-edible, it's a-lot to remember. Very interesting video, but I think it'd be a good idea if I left the mushroom-picking to the professionals! Unless I can take an actual course on it ;-)

[soraninja]

i picked a white young mushroom in my garden it looks like a "parasol mushroom"

Its white over all and turns brown as it ages, brown under side gills and a thin stem. Nice earthy smell.

Me and my dad want to know what type it is before we eat it =)

[JamesThWilliams]

@soraninja

It's best to never eat wild mushrooms unless you know exactly what they are.

[margot980]

I associate chanterelles with 50+ year old conifers, ferns, here in coastal British Columbia.

[BSfilms1234]

So..., what's more harmful a deathcap or the destroying white angel thing

[gswiaczny]

Very informative video. Thank you :) Best regards from Poland, Greg

[100maadler]

Out here in central Bulgaria .. it has been the wettest summer for decades , an abundance of wild mushrooms , some looked like coral ..[ brains ] , gently cooked in butter with cream added .... in the local market they sell for 4 euro a kilo and in Paris they sell for 30 euro's .

[kutubu1]

they're picked in the right way together with the root and cut later, never cut them while picking, it's bad for the mycelium

[patterdalekilo]

I always left the Red Cracked Boletes, even the very young ones have a very bitter taste. Too many in your pot and you can ruin an otherwise very tasty meal.

Nice video, good to see you cutting the mushrooms at the stem. I've seen many a TV show or video of people just pulling them from the ground, this breaks apart the mycelium and is not good for future picking.

[klera2]

thats why I were gloves when i pick

[renzokata]

is it true that if they bruise dark purple-black, they are more than likely magic mushrooms? i found some red caps at the beach once that did this.

[kutubu1]

better don`t cut them with a knife, it`s bad for the mycelium because it will go rotting

[weiliiiiiii]

Agaricus species of mushrooms concentrate heavy metals/carcinogens in their tissues so its not the best edible to consume a lot of.

[horizanadventures]

Very good video very informative

[alexiswes]

The chanterelles are delicious :)

[ybotn]

here in sweden we eat golden kanteralellas,so good

[Weaveuh]

today at the park i wandered off the beaten path & found what i soon realized was a huge mushroom. the best way to describe it would be to compare it to that foamy stuff that you use to fill in cracks in housing--that stuff that expands after it's sprayed & becomes shiny & smooth when dry.

that's what i thought it was, a big mound of that foam. only after i tried to move it did i realize that it was a mushroom. the inside (underneath) is spongy in appearance.

any help identifying is appreciated

[AlMondO93]

Was it white? If so, it could have been a Giant Puffball.

[xPlantpoTx]

i bet u smashed that mushroom 2 bits with your foot.

[apearl420]

yummy shrooms

[okeeno27]

wow I think I'll stick to what I can get in the grocery store

[sl8734]

how do you know if they used pesticides or weed killer on the lawn, and if so, can washing it do the trick?

[northernpike56]

I search every Autumn for the field and shaggy mane mushrooms. Wonderful recreation with delicious rewards.

Great informative vid 5/5  :-)

[smurkst]

Yeah, shaggy mane mushrooms are great lightly fried, so as the common puffballs are;)

Though my favorite is king bolete because you can eat it raw - great when you get hungry while picking mushrooms in the woods ;)

[guest2424]

Never touch a solid white mushroom under any circumstance. The destroying angel is not a joke.

Great video

[smurkst]

Jesus, how stupid one has to be to mistake destroying angel for field mushroom, macrolepiota, gypsy mushroom, or any other white edible mushroom! No offence, but once you see any of the amanita genus, you'll never mistake it for any edible thing :)

[miketonon]

@guest2424, What do destroying angel mushrooms look like? What are they capable of?

[guest2424]

@miketonon The destroying angel Amanita bisporigera and the death cap (Amanita phalloides) are responsible for the overwhelming majority of deaths due to mushroom poisoning. Symptoms do not appear for 5 to 24 hours, when the toxins may already be absorbed and the damage (destruction of liver and kidney tissues) done. As little as half a mushroom cap can be fatal if not treated quickly enough. The symptoms include vomiting, cramps, delirium, convulsions, and diarrhea. USE WIKIPEDIA on those names

[wiggawiggapullatrigg]

@guest2424 look up Hericium erinaceus their pure white when young and turn yellow when old but you only eat them young

[123Homefree]

@guest2424 there is a FREE wild edibles field guide @ 123homefree

[guest2424]

@123Homefree You should specify that you are talking about your CHANNEL not a WEBSITE. The website is invalid and is a SPAM website. What your talking about is watch?v=Cz4Gd031bV4 which has a PDF link to a free little book you can print out. Be careful how you word things. You should say "click my name, I made a FREE wild edibles field guide" and link to the video too. BTW, their not mushrooms, but I still like foraging information like the channel EatTheWeeds .

[amethyst8teen]

@guest2424 Destroying angels have white gills...

[undeadpresident]

@guest2424 Just touching one it isn't going to hurt you.

[guest2424]

@undeadpresident might not "hurt" you, but it can effect you. I personally have been effected several times just by handling mushrooms and I have seen a video on scientific research on mushrooms that stated that merely handling mushrooms will cause you to absorb small amounts of it's chemicals.

[somasupernova]

fantastic, i wish i had found this video a few months ago, right before i disregarded the amethyst deceiver as poisonous, not knowing my way around many a mushroom... funnily enough it was the one i most wanted to eat...

[gevar234]

thats funny, ive eaten amethyst deceiver many times with no problems
