A thought on what you were saying about sustainability and gratitude in harvesting:
I like to harvest mushrooms in a mesh bag - such as the kind one buys onions in. This leaves plenty of gaps for the mushrooms to drop spores on the return trip home - particularly in the environment where they were found. Let's face it: if they were found there, it's an agreeable habitat for them - so spreading spores as one heads back to the trailhead or car is a great way of helping the fungus and giving something back.

Psychedelics not only outperform antidepressants for many people but also provide a deeply meaningful recreational experience.

“Real nature connection is the ultimate prize.” So true!

I don't collect mushrooms but I seek them out for the joy of looking at them. Your videos make the process even better. Thanks so much for these amazing videos!!!

this is so well done it's shocking. after this 30 min video I feel confident I can walk outside and begin to go observe the mushrooms that grow in my woods and bring back some characteristics to research further

Loved to go mushrooming with my Italian family when I was young to being a young adult. We'd each carry a large burlap sack and search for the porcini mushrooms (boletus edulis) and sometimes these mushrooms would have a cap larger than a dinner plate with a stem as thick as a coffee mug. Sometimes, you'd have to make several trips back to the car to empty the sack once you had 40-50# of mushrooms. Once back at home, these shrooms were sliced into 1/4" slices and dried on specially constructed racks, then stored in a pillowcase for a couple more weeks, then transferred to large jars and packed in there with bay leaves and cayenne pepper pods as a preservative. When it was time to make a pasta sauce, the dried shrooms would be crumbled up and mixed with warm water prior to being added to the sauce. Then, I discovered the morels and chanterelles which are delicious.

This was like learning basic mycology from Dr. Seuss and I absolutely loved it.

My journey towards mental health recovery has been profoundly shaped by psilocybin mushrooms, DMT and LSD. After being diagnosed with severe depression and other challenges.

Beautifully said at the end brother.. True nature connection is the ultimate goal in your land, not successful mushroom identifications.. Really love the content man, you’ve influenced me a great deal in how I view the land around me ✌️

Here in the Northwest, David Arora’s “All that the Rain Promises and More” is the best pocket guide to have, hands down

mushroom: fruit stage of fungi life cycle
mycelium: basically fungi root/body

types — found on:
saprotrophic — decomposer fungi 5:27
parasitic — usually on living plants + insects... 5:37
mycorrhizal — mutual plant partner in nutrient absorption 5:06

the trick is — 6:02
— note mushroom seasons: early spring to mid/late autumn
— (sometimes some grow on winter)
— rain-prone woodlands ≈ number + diversity

*7:14* .... 8:35 — shape ID
9:40 — color ID .... 10:30
items for harvesting: knife, container, hand lens, brush, (optional) camera

2 harvest methods — 11:48 (partial/whole)
14:10 safety guidelines — 15:30 (forage from clean, identify first, cook small)
