WINTER MUSHROOM FORAGING- mid January mushroom identification in the Pacific Northwest
In this video Aaron Hilliard, creator of Mushroom Wonderland, Vice President of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, and long time mushroom enthusiast takes us on a foray at North Kitsap Heritage Park in Kingston Washington, a town located on the northern part of the Kitsap Peninsula smack dab in the center of the Puget sound in Washington state in mid to late January.
We come across a few interesting species of mushrooms/fungi- like Trametes versicolor or the Turkey Tail, a useful and sought after medicinal mushroom that loves growing on hardwood. Then we come across a voracious parasite commonly known as "Silver leaf," or Chrondostereum purpureum- a fungus dreaded by fruit farmers and the like for its propensity for killing trees, although it has a beautiful purple fruiting body. Then we talk about a mushroom that can be found around the world in winter, the "oyster mushroom," Pleurotus ostreatus, a delicious gourmet wild edible. Another mushroom discussed is the "Honey mushroom," or Armillaria- a common wild edible found the world over. Finally we come across some beautiful "Fairy parachutes," or Mirasmiellus candidus- a delicate hardwood loving saprotroph that can grow in large beautiful clusters.
If you are new to the channel please check out some oif the other videos, as we are in the dead of winter it is typically the slowest time of the year to be finding mushrooms so the other foraging videos on the channel have a larger variety of mushrooms to look at and learn about.
Thanks for watching and mush-love to you all!!
