Identifying Late Autumn Mushrooms

In this video, like many others on this channel during mushroom season, we take a walk in the forest with mushroom wonderland creator and vice president of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society Aaron Hilliard to see what mushrooms are growing wild in the woodland of western Washington.
Coming across some very photogenic Laccaria amethysto-occidentalis, Stropharia ambigua, Zellers bolete (xerocomellus zelleri), Laccaria laccata, Rosy russula (Russula Rosea), Amanita muscaria, Cortinarius smithii, and a few others, we learn some of the characteristic identifying features of these mushrooms as well as what kind of habitat they grow in.
This video is intended for entertainment and education including harm reduction, but it is important to do your own research when identifying mushrooms for the dinner table. Please get a field guide and gho through the keys carefully with each mushroom you intend to eat.
Thank you for subscribing to the channel and we hope to see you back for the next episode.
