Learn To Identify Wild Edible Enoki Mushrooms

In this video, we compare and contrast the edible Enoki mushroom (Flammulina velutipes/Velvet Foot/Velvet Shank) to the Deadly Galerina mushroom (Galerina marginata).

Adam, you are the best teacher/professor I’ve ever had (I’m 65). You are enthusiastic, interesting and informative, and have nurtured my ‘pinning’ mycology hobby into a 4 year feast of foraging & learning. I bought your online study course a few years ago, still review it & love LYL. Last year it was boletes, & this year I finally graduated myself to eating my foraged gilled mushrooms. Have never exercised (hiking) so much, never eaten better than foraged foods, have never felt this profoundly close to my spiritual beliefs. Just saying thank you doesn’t feel like enough. 💕🍄

This is one of your BEST videos since you compared the mushrooms side by side, giving very CLEAR pointers. You are the best, you really are. I suggested a while back for you to compare similar mushrooms side by side, and you somehow must have found the comment. Much love!
I live that format and I'm sure many others will too!

I started hunting 🍄, because of you. You changed my life and gave it a whole new meaning. Thanks x 1000.

Your a class act Adam. Always anticipating your next video. Thank you, keep them coming.

Thanks, Adam. I think more kids will get into ecology and mycology because of videos like yours. They're done so well. I love them and want to get out into the woods every time I watch them! Very inspiring!

When I lived in Michigan in the 1980s, there were some sad cases of folks mistakenly eating Galerina marginata (known as G. autumnalis back then), getting them mixed in a larger harvest of Honey mushrooms (Armillaria spp). Those cases don't seem to be included in the NAMA reports, but I remember the newspaper stories well and how tragic they were. So I've appreciated seeing the deadly Galerina every now and again, just to stay sharp with knowing it! I have a nice group growing in my yard on a large decaying apricot log, so now I can easily appreciate them every winter, lol.

Easily the best lecture on Enoki and deadly Galleriana. Excellent.

Your videos are the only ones anybody really needs to watch, spot on, no bullshit, straight talking and easy to understand.Well done and many thanks😉👍

[keepmoving]

Thank you Adam! You’re like a young, less harry Paul Stamets. You’ve given me an abundance of knowledge that is still applicable on the west coast. You also opened my eyes to the beautiful east coast

I had ran across Adams videos about a year ago. Mind you, I'm not that big of a mushroom eater but haven't been exposed to many either. After watching all of his videos, I can't go anywhere without looking down at the ground hahha

As someone who tends to watch science videos while stoned, I appreciate the fact that you reiterate what you say a few different times, and make the comparison between species obvious repeatedly. It actually helped me remember this very distinctly! I think you just helped me learn how to study things a little bite easier. Thank you, and new sub 😁

[janejohnsen]

So very different from store-bought. Wild and enoki completely different species! Thank you for all your information. 🙂

[FranLegon]

In every video you release I'm amazed by your clarity and eloquence. You're an amazing teacher. Thank you

[yankis.]

THIS IS AMAZING.
So clear and straight forward! Thanks!

[danielmiller]

I'm not a mushroom hunter, but I think that your videos are extremely valuable, and informative. Now I feel like I have a friend who really knows his stuff when it comes to mushrooms. You're a great teacher as well .Thanks.

[ShadowKatChan]

Yes! I’ve been needing a video to help me correctly identify Enoki vs Deadly Galerina! Until now I’ve been too afraid of misidentifying and eating a Galerina! Thanks for the great tips! Looking forward to hunting some down!

[brendadiederich]

I can't begin to thank you enough. You do a fantastic job explaining!

[thaislovak]

Wow, this Video is really helpful. I am from Thailand but living in Slovakia. I love to take a walk in the forest and now from your Videos I can start to be a mushrooms hunter. Thank you very much.

[wizardss]

This is so helpful. I can’t believe how many edible/medicinal species I’m finding in my area after only studying fungi for probably a year now. It’s so rewarding to learn about then go find and harvest so many different species of these awesome organisms.

[chrislidbury]

Adam, thank you. I honestly can't speak highly enough of your videos. I admire your encouragement to create a positive connection, with the life around a person, engaging all the senses which can only help people form positive connections to themselves. Brilliant, thanks again.
