In this video Aaron Hilliard, creator of Mushroom Wonderland, walks through the forest of the Pacific Northwest in autumn and identifies 10 completely wild mushrooms growing alongside the trial. Some of these are poisonous mushrooms, some of them are choice edible mushrooms, and some are somewhere in between!
I come across golden chanterelles, the false chanterelle, amanita muscaria and its cousin amanita pantherina, delicious king boletes, tree loving pholiota, as well as several more.
I am not a professional mycologist, just a total mushroom geek who has been picking and identifying wild mushrooms for 35 years, an avid member of a mycological society, administrator of a Facebook group, as well as the creator of Mushroom Wonderland.
I also studied video production and photography in college and have a degree in integrated multi-media, so it only makes sense to combine my love for mushrooms and my passion for film and photography and make these videos, with the hope that I can spark interest in the hobby of mushroom foraging as well as raise public awareness and interest in wild mushrooms, and their medicinal, culinary, and spiritual value.
