Trees that Mushrooms Love: Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii)
This video is a bit of a departure from the usually strictly mushroom videos here on mushroom wonderland, but very much needed information for mushroom foragers here in the PNW because for most of the delicious wild edible mushrooms growing here you'll need to find these trees to find these fungi. Luckily these trees, the Douglas-Fir, dominate the forest canopy here and give the Pacific Northwest its unique look from above, where the land from mountains to sea are blanketed in this huge and beautiful conifer.
This tree is in a genus of its own, Pseudotsudga- whichg means false hemlock, because it really doesn't fit in any other genus. Its soft 1" needles surrounding the branch like a bottle brush, its reddish buds at the tips of its branches, the hanging cones that fall from the tree, and its ultra thick, fire resistant bark makes it worthy of its own video.
These trees have ectomycorrhizal connections to thousands of mushrooms, meaning in order to find the shrooms, you have to be able to identify these trees. Hopefully you'll know all about them after this video!
