Let’s go hunting for wild oyster mushrooms!

Oyster mushrooms are a tasty edible that grows in the spring, summer and fall. They are easy to identify, grow in abundance and make a great addition to any meal. In this video, we are looking for Pleurotus populinus. You may not have this exact species, but there is likely a species of Oyster (pleurotus sp.) that grows near you.

WHERE TO FIND?

Oysters are saprophytic and grow on dead or dying trees. Look for decaying logs, or dead trees in the spring, summer and fall. They will never be growing out of the ground.

WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?

They are a shelf mushroom that often grow in clusters, but can also grow singly. The cap is often semicircular. They have a short pseudo-stem, and may have no stem present at all if they are growing laterally. The gills are fairly widely space, with some going all the way down the stem, and others that only run part way down.

ARE THERE ANY LOOKALIKES?

Yes, there can be, so be sure you know what you have. In Alberta, the main “look-alike” is crepidotus sp., but they are smaller, grow singly (not in clusters) and have brown spores.

Tony's charisma and the amount of love he and his wife put in these videos really makes this the best mushroom channel on YouTube.

Great video. I didn't realize they sweated that much, I'm definitely going to bring a cloth bag next time I go hiking.

This man is really overestimating my ability to tell the difference between two mushrooms

I've been watching a lot of Tony's videos lately. I've been trying to grow Lionsmane outdoors and have a nice flush of oysters emerging, so, here I am. Never had them but anxious to give them a try. I've been a forager of medicinals for years now and try to add some new shrooms to my list each year. Thanks to freshcaps for great info.

Thanks for the video, anise smells like black licorice or even like a strongly flavored sweet Italian sausage (meaning it would have a lot of anise in it).

I live in Kansas and I'm pretty familiar with the plants that grow in my neck of the woods but I'm new (and a little intimidated) to the idea of mushroom identification. Awesome video!

For some reason Youtube threw up to me this much earlier video, of FreshCap Tony and Teagan and what a delight to watch the earlier times and how humble it began and still remains. Awesome content always even back then, even if Teagan did do the cooking Tony LOL! It's still a thumbs up from us all :) Mush Love, as with Mush Loves, comes Mush Re-Spore-Ability! ;)

I've become a big fan of your channel, really relaxing/down to earth videos man, got interested in growing mushrooms through Southwest Mushrooms, but you give some really good advice on how to start small and some good ideas there, and ofc also like foraging in the woods.
Thanks man.
Have a good day ay!

Fun video, thank you! Fennel or dill have also similar smell... Or Greek Ouzo!!! The licorice plant is an herbaceous perennial native to southern Europe and parts of Asia, such as India. It is not botanically related to anise, star anise, or fennel, which have though similar flavoring.

It was always fun finding them in the woods all around Wisconsin

At which point do the mushrooms release its spores? I have oyster mushrooms growing on a dead tree in my backyard and want them to keep "coming back"... Do I have to leave some on the bark or can I harvest all of them?
