Wild Fungi in the Forest- Feburary 2024 foray

Описание: In this video Aaron Hilliard of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society and his trusty hound/lab Gunnar take a walk into the beautiful forest of western Washington state to discover what kind of mushrooms are growing. Its the dead of winter, which is not typically the greatest mushroom season, however a lot of tree loving mushrooms are out, some of which are highly medicinal, like the turkey tail.
In this video we encounter a large beautiful flush of turkey tail mushrooms and harvest them, which is probably the most widely studied mushroom of all time for cancer fighting agents as well as anti-inflammatory qualities. We also come across some fun mushrooms that can be made into candy. As always, the whimsical style of Mushroom Wonderland videos, the beautiful lush forest and the calm and detailed descriptions of the mushrooms and the forest lend an ASMR quality to the video that we hope all can enjoy and appreciate.

We will not accept any responsibility for negligence or accidental ingestion of poisonous mushrooms or plants. These videos are not intended to be a definitive field guide, but rather a starting point to become familiar with habitat, Everyone is encouraged to do their own studies, acquire literature or internet resources to safely and confidently identify wild foods before they eat them. When eating a new wild mushroom, it is advised to start with only a small amount, and make sure that it is fresh and that it is cooked thoroughly. Some mushrooms do not agree with certain individuals, and this is typically discovered on a case-by-case basis. Even the most edible of mushrooms contain compounds that can be tough for the human digestive tract to handle. Some “edible” species have small amounts of certain toxins that will easily break down with cooking. Fungi contains a molecule known as chitin that is the same thing that makes the exoskeleton of shellfish so hard, and cannot be broken down by the human digestive system, so it is another good reason to thoroughly cook mushrooms. All the ideas expressed in the comments should be taken with a large grain of salt. I don’t think there is any other field of study or science that has more misinformation being shared so freely and boldly. Mushroom Wonderland and Aaron himself have no opinion and neither encourage nor discourage the use of mushrooms containing mind-altering compounds. These mushrooms contain powerful chemicals and should be treated with a high level of responsibility. Any video topics on the habitat, natural distribution, and morphological features of psychoactive mushrooms portrayed on this channel are purely for scientific and educational purposes.
