2024 Foraging Edible Mushrooms 50 Specimens in 500 Feet!!

Could you imaging Finding over 50 specimens of Fungus all within a few hundred feet!? There was a bite taken nearly out of everything. All the wildlife feed on them too and the deer were leaving pieces of American Caesar - Amanita jacksonii, everywhere..

I had so much joy documenting this find and seeing rare specimens for the first time ever!
This video shows them all up close along with the sights and sounds of the wildlife that day.

There were so many mushrooms this video could only fit in half of them.. When the second video is done I will link it to the end of this one. Thank you again for all the support!

Rule #1: Never eat anything you’re not 100% certain you’ve correctly identified. There are plenty of plants and mushrooms that can kill you or make you very sick.

Any Amanitas should not be eaten because any misidentification within the genus could be deadly.
