hunting for wild mushrooms - washington state coast - 1 of 2

[MrIkickbabiesforfun]

Just got my first shrooms ever today red with white dots anyone know how much I should eat

[kasjonc]

I would have guessed the last one was an Amanita Pantheria (closely related to Amanita Muscaria).

[kasjonc]

I think that first one you passed up is a porcini. Very fine eating, if you can verify it.

[ahamatmabrahman]

thats quite a selection It isnt imposable that some mushrooms come from other planets

[t8sChannel]

anyone know a good website that has a list of shrooms or pics of shrooms that grow in washington state?

[pabbananna]

@t8sChannel Thanks, great idea I will work on making that.

[t8sChannel]

@pabbananna cool man ill have to check it out

[kokalti]

daing I want to go look for some mushrooms in WA, but I don't know jack about them and not too eager to poison myself. Where can I learn about them?

[tionlover]

can you trip on these?

[pabbananna]

@tionlover I guess if you are into ordeal poisons

Every Chanterelle I have found down here had little piss ants that were eating it, the kind that smell like formic acid when you squish em and they got black heads and yellow orange abdomens, they also had tiny black aphids or fleas .. I thought they were supposed to be insecticidal... 0.o

[pabbananna]

@Cronndo Go earlier in the season. I am VERY picky and easily pass up 75% of chanterelles, if not for bugs for mold. The first flush is amazing if the weather is right, pure golden apricot scented heaven!

[Cronndo]

Kinda jealous of the wet weather sometimes seeing stuff like that.. those Amanitas look awesome, I can hear the Mario Bros Theme song emanating from it.

i found the best lookinh aminita muscaria ever here in GA in early spring but i didnt know of its powers so i ljust walked by it

[pabbananna]

@kevin108012345 once you know when and where to look there are pretty abundant. And they come back every year in the same place more or less. they grow right outside my driveway at work and the neighbor has so many in their yard it could be called an infestation.

[MikhailLifirenko]

dam i found a bunch of mushrooms, that look like magic, but im not too sure. Some of them were purple as fuck. but dont bruise purple. some dried up dark blue.

i but there are soooo many look alikes, and i need to find a good guide.

[pabbananna]

@MikhailLifirenko

Careful with ID'ing and collect them only for identification purposes, never dry them. Take a fresh specimen to your local mushroom society's fall mushroom show and they will be happy to help and will probably have some specimens behind the counter to show you if you ask.

Paul Stamets has written the definitive guide for that particular genera:

Psilocybin Mushrooms of the World: An Identification Guide.

Amazon carries it for about $22

[TheLonelyMountains]

Once, i found an amanita bigger than the size of a hand.

i was so young, i didn't know about it's happy side xD

if i hade eaten it..

BACK TO THE FUTURE!

[pabbananna]

@TheLonelyMountains

Amanitas are more of an "ordeal poison" than a "fun experience" - you will be happy afterwards that you didn't die. (from what i read) The experience is highly variable depending on where it grows, it lasts a long time and the delusions you get are far from euphoric. Some people say to roast them, pick off the white specks, etc...it is all just "tales" and you are venturing into an unknown that may land you in the ER. Please people - DO NOT EAT AMANITAS.

[TheLonelyMountains]

@pabbananna lol thankies, dude x) i don't want to trip on Amanita anymore.. its bullshit. i'll try some shrooms in our yard instead. allthough i'll have to be careful for the freakin strong one we have here in >>norway only<< the sharp headed psilocybe.. localy caled "spiss fleinsopp" internationally known as

"psilocybe semilanceata" that's a evil one. DONT EAT IT. IT IS TO POWERFUL.

@TheLonelyMountains For identification purposes only here is a good pic and description of the infamous "liberty cap" mushroom: flickr.com/photos/pablography/­315073129/

[onimotoko]

Some animal out there is gettin pretty high off those fly agarics.

[fertilizerspike]

Awesome amanita, holy shit dude. Yum.

[ethanlj14]

damn man i need to know where you found these i am RIGHT THEIR. i ljust moved to ocean shores and i want to find some shrooms already. please get back to me

[pabbananna]

@ethanlj14

The woods are full of them. Make sure you have the proper permit if you pick on forest service land and permission to pick on private land.

[DarkSasuke61636]

holy shit, red cap, stay away from it

[skimenneske]

@DarkSasuke61636 what do you mean? dry it in the oven 75 degrees and eat 10 dry grams, perfectly healthy, but dont eat 30 grams, its ridiculous.

[DarkSasuke61636]

@skimenneske omfg, dude, red caps with white dots on it is very poisonous, it cant be de-poisoned as you specified, people have tried and died. stay away from the mario shrooms

[skimenneske]

@DarkSasuke61636 i know its dangerous if you dont take any cautions or if you dont study how and when then i must admit it can become lethal and kill you before 30 minuttes but if you as i said dry it to vaporize the toxicants properly, and eat without going over the 10 grams to 15 grams maximum then i wish you a merry christmas in the middle of june lol good day..

[trazeebarb]

write to me. d.gray 18 parkgate. hitchin. hertfordshire. U.K. I'll send you l.s.d. for free. no shit

[fatbitch1984]

damn i wish you would focus in on the small chestnut brown specimens behind all those amanitas you found!!! i think i saw psilocybe baeocystis... anyways nice video

[pabbananna]

Are they that common on the Washington coast? There are carpets of mushrooms like that but they all look like little brown mushrooms (LMBS) to me. Ive been looking for a candy cap but only once have I found the mushroom. It smells like maple syrup and it is in that same LBM class.

[fatbitch1984]

Amanita Pantherina

[Ermftw]

oh yeah, again 2:11 thoguh 3:22, just thought i would help identify

[RedDwarfFan117]

Looks like a Bolete (first find in vid)

[Ermftw]

Yeah that's definately some kind of bolete, hence the spongy layer and large stalk. At 2:11 that would be a amanita of some kind because of the upright gill traight on some and also the pebbles on top and egg like thing on stalk.

[rarecockney]

good video.
