Foraging Wild Mushrooms in Late September- Chanterelle, Lobsters, Dyeing Mushrooms
In this video the creator of Mushroom Wonderland and the vice president of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society takes us on a journey into the conifer forest of western Washington state to seek out whatever mushrooms might be growing here at the dead end of summer. A lack of rain has mushroomers hoping for the return of the typical Washington weather, but that hasn't stopped some of the most valuable mushrooms from still sprouting up. The first mushroom we come across is a popular dyeing mushroom known as the "Velvet-footed Pax", or Tapenilla atrotomentosa, that grows on decaying wood here in the forest and is popular not for its culinary value, but because it is a valuable mushroom for dyeing fabric with, mainly protein fabrics like wool and silk. The process of dyeing with fungi will have to come on a different video and I am looking forward to making it!
The next mushroom we come across is a popular choice edible mushroom known worldwide and sought out for its bizarre but delicious concoction of host and parasite mushrooms. We are talking about the "Lobster Mushroom", AKA Hypomyces lactiflorum. This mushroom is great to eat, but once it gets past its prime it can be used as a great one to dye fabrics brilliant colors.
Then we come across some super popular and delicious mushrooms that are no good for dyeing but very good for frying! Wed are talking about the "Pacific Golden Chanterelle" or Cantharellus formosus.
We will be looking at habitat so you can find these mushrooms yourself, and just talking about general mushroom enthusiast stuff. So if you dig this kind of content be sure to hit the subscribe button and the notification bell as there are going to be so many videos coming out this fall all about the wild mushrooms that you can forage for yourself. Mush-love everyone.
