Edible Wild Mushrooms- Forage and ID, Late Summer 2023

In this video Aaron Hilliard, VP of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society, takes us on a walk into Mushroom Wonderland to discover edible wild summer mushrooms, as well as a few other mushrooms that you might come across on the trail this time of year.
It has been a very hot and dry summer, but despite that, Lobster Mushrooms have been growing like crazy, as well as the summer Chanterelles. Both highly regarded and also both featured in this video. Aaron shows the habitat, the mushrooms different morphological features, and describes the mushrooms in great detail to help you be able to confidently ID your own wild mushrooms.
Mushroom foraging is a great pass-time and a wonderful reason to take the family or a loved one out into the woods and connect with nature, so our hope is that you use this channel as a great resource and find helpful tips and insights. Keep in mind that eating wild foraged food has its risks, and there are plants, trees, and mushrooms that can be quite poisonous, so be sure to do your own research and please don't use this shaky cell phone footage to compare your mushroom against. Mushroom Wonderland takes no responsibility for what you forage.
