Back at it again with another foraging video! On this video, Aaron Hilliard, Mushroom wonderland creator and Vice President of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, takes you on a walk in a conifer rich forest in the Pacific Northwest of Washington state to find and identify over a dozen mushrooms, some good edibles, a few poisonous ones and a couple, well- you'll just have to watch to find out. I first come across probably the most recognizable toadstool in the world, Amanita muscaria. Then a fairly popular edible the "Saffron Milk Cap," Lactarius deliciousus. We come across some Blewits, Lepista nuda. Honey mushrooms, Armillaria mella, "The Booted Knight," Tricholoma focale, as well as several other species. common and scientific latin names included, as well as edibility information.
