Chanterelle & Jack O'Lantern — Mushroom ID

I have jack-o-lantern mushrooms growing in a large group at the base of a large oak tree in my side yard.
Beautiful, and yes ..when there is no moon above, they glow with a soft green color.

Quality video as always 👍

👍🏻

I'm pretty sure I found Chanterelle mushrooms a few feet from a hickory tree. Will have to cut one open and see if it's lighter colored on the inside.

Yup, turns out they are! I cut them open and they're lighter on the inside! I was wondering if pets can eat them too? I have a dog and also pet rats.

I just gathered a lot of them, they have been dried. I found them in a pine forrest. near a pond. Im trying to learn how to not confuse jackolanterns with them. I also have lots of the red chanterelles.. Im hoping to find amanita muscaria soon

you are the best

Thanks to your videos, I was able to identify a rather large patch of chanterelles under some white oak. They were all rather young, but the folds underneath were unmistakable. I can't wait to eat them!

Wissahickon Valley Park is popping with chanterelles Cinnabar right now in the Lavender Trail

Great informational quality production. Followed🎉

Saved from a miserable evening. Thank you.

Thank you! We found a bunch of scattered chanterelles today and your video helped us confirm the ID! Delicious treat for dinner!!!

Many Thanks!

Really well presented. Another way to identify Omphalatus is to look at the gills in Pitch Black. They're slightly phosphorescent.

Bestest video.
I smell steamed squash.

Found a large patch this morning, and used this vid for great identification.
Thanks for what you do.

Thanks! I got lost a little in the woods and found a patch of chantrelles!

in oregon , we have a mushroom that is poisnous and is also called jackolantern . It doesnt look like a chanterelle. It more resembles the fried chicken mushroom which also has a look alike that groes near the edible ones . Our jackolantern has a dark brown skinny stem, brown cap, grows in clusters , which are usually surrounde by a larger patch of clusters . If you even kick through these, then go to tie or remove your shous , then rub your eye or take a piss, youre dead in 3 days. They come out in october when it begins to rain.

Thank you!

3 years later, I still cannot pick these two apart (not well enough to confidently eat them). Ill try again this week sometime...

💪🤗

TY Very informative content. I live in Florida. There are not many experts that are sharing experience down here. The ones showing foraging videos are not experts.

I have both where I live live. They look exactly like yours in central Massachusetts

It was a good video!

Great video!! Now I will just send this video when someone asks me how to tell them apart!

Adam, you are a real " fun guy"! Thanks for your well documented mushroom information.

Huzza huzza - just great!

as a Texan who just moved to the NE, you are a lifesaver. We don't know much about foraging anything but pecans

I don't understand that I have to watch your video, even though this mushroom doesn't grow in my country which has a tropical climate. Anyway, I love your videos ❤❤❤

Thank you for that really detailed instructional video. This is extremely helpful. Great work on the video

This is really cool tbh

Great info, very thorough. Super well spoken as well. Thanks!

This video was very interesting and the host was wonderful.

They definitely look more like Oysters. Idk why people don't make that comparison.

does jack o lantern have a limit on how much dead wood it needs to form? IE: buried twigs/roots vs rather substatial log

thank you for your detailed video, I found a small cluster of them but didnt take them cause I thought they didn't grow in groups. Now I know! I'll have to get back out there to grab them lol

The jack o latern must be the adams family favorite mushroom

I don’t see how people keep confusing these 2 mushrooms!!!?? It makes no sense!

Who was the first person to watch someone die from eating something poisonous, and how long it take for everyone to catch on to it?

Great and informative video

Hi Adam, I absolutely love your course. Today I found the most beautiful chicken of the woods, milky caps, chanterelles, old man of the woods. Absolutely delicioous and amazing!! Once again, thankyou so much for your amazing great courses.

Dude thank you very much. I'm 32 and just learned about this miracle fungi. Never forged a mushroom before. Just stumbled on this video today to learn. Saw from 6 years ago, so i clicked on your page to see, and you have another great video from 3 hours ago! So thank you, I feel like I'm about to learn everything i need to know about foraging mushrooms while watching all of your videos.

Very helpful. I'm new to this, but I see a lot of Chanterelles in NE and I'm not always sure. This is the most helpful. See a lot of yellow/orange funnel shaped mushroom, growing individually. Mistrust often because I don't understand what a false gill is.

Excellent explanation.

How do you find someone to go with. We have mushrooms on our property almost all year long.

Excellent video!! ... I can only wish the chanterelles popped up here in mid-summer on the West Coast of Canada, usually about mid September is when we first start seeing them

Ugh I still can’t figure it out 😢 gonna just toss

Hey give me your number, next time when I feel confused about picking the right one- will make a video call 😅. Anyways real thanks for your well presented videos!

Weird chantrels in our area don't grow around hardwoods

You're so knowledgeable and explain these perfectly! Thanks so much!
