Some Friday Fungus Flicking Fun! These jelly fungi are found growing on decaying logs, they are edible but flavorless. The fruiting body is remarkably resilient, able to dry out completely then rehydrate when it rains, they can persist for months! Not sure why the comments always get so wild on these posts 🤷♂️ #jellyfungus #witchesbutter #mushroomasmr #ushygushy #squishyasmr #asmrsquishy #mycology #fungi #mushrooms #fascinatedbyfungi #mycophile #🍄💦
Happy Fungus Friday, here’s a super satisfying compilation of tapping and picking mushrooms. This is intended as a relaxing ASMR-type video of mushroom picking.
.
I tap the mushrooms for many reasons. First and foremost is that I like the sounds they make, each mushroom has a particular tone that corresponds to the specific species and maturity of the fruiting body. It is also effective for knocking off bugs and dirt before picking and helps to spread the spores (especially important if I am harvesting the mushroom to take home and eat).
.
This video features both edible and non-edible species. For the edible mushrooms, I take them home and cook them as food (see my UToob for recipes). For the non-edible mushrooms, I leave them in place to continue spreading their spores.
.
In this video I am picking mycorrhizal mushrooms directly from the ground. In a comprehensive 30 year study (“Mushroom picking does not impair future harvests” Egli, et al., 2006) , it was demonstrated that there was no statistical or significant difference between cutting mushrooms with a knife vs. picking like I do here in the video. For context, I do specifically cut some mushrooms when harvesting (like morels and polypores), but for most mushrooms it just doesn’t matter. I do trim the bottom of the stem back onto the forest floor before placing the mushroom into basket. I also do my absolute best to leave the forest floor undisturbed and pick up trash whenever I see it. Sustainable and ethical harvesting are very important to me. I usually leave ~1/3 of the edible mushrooms I find to continue dispersing their spores and ensuring healthy mycelium for future harvests. I am all for having a respectful discourse about sustainability but if you are rude to me in the comments I will ask you to read this caption; if you continue to be rude to me, you will no longer be able to access my content. Hope y’all find this entertaining, fun, and soothing in the same way I do. MushLove 🍄❤️

Happy November! Believe it or not, this helps to spread spores. The rains have come to California and that means ushy gushy mushy season is right around the corner. Are you ready to learn all about Jelly fungi? The fruiting bodies are packed with bioactive polysaccharides that allow them to persist for months, dehydrating and rehydrating with rain. Jellies are evolutionarily ancient mushrooms that mastered this form and have stayed relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years. #ushygushy #ushygushymushy #squishy #squishyasmr #mushroomasmr #asmrsquishy #squelchy #mycology #fungi #fascinatedbyfungi #jellyfungus #🍄💦 #DisneyParksVoices
Giant Puffball ASMR. Also, so people know, I was just playing around with these puffballs becuase they were a bit past when I would eat them. They had a few bugs in them and were getting a bit rotten at the bottom. #mushroom #fungi #asmr #minnesota #mushrooms #mycology #inthewoods #forestfloor #forest #funga #getoutside #naturalwonders #nature #natureasmr #soundsofthewoods
