I had no idea mushrooms can grow THIS BIG!! looks so cool!
you should look up mushrooms talking to each other - it is literally the best thing
You should look up more mushrooms!!!!! They come in a very fascinating variety I’m absolutely obsessed with them. In prehistoric times (I believe it was that time) some grew the size of trees! We wouldn’t have decomposition if it weren’t for fungus and mold, the earth would be a literal wasteland with net 0 decomposition. Nothing would be recycled and frankly we just wouldn’t have the life we have today if it weren’t for mushrooms, so imagine how many different mushrooms there are, and the different forms they take, to take care of different things in the cycle of life of every variant of eco system? I’d become a mycologist if I didn’t have art lol… I just draw and paint them instead. They’re so wonderful.
@@violet4239 OMFG I googled it and it's actually true!?!? They grow as tall as trees! I can't even imagine how cool and magical it could have been to be able to walk amongst a mushroom forest 😍
@@violet4239 Theirs a documentary trailer I just wanted called Fantastic Fungi and now I want to watch it as soon as I get home from my class.
My school had this huge field in the back and it had these mushrooms everywhere, we would always collect them and throw them at eachother and occasionally eat them without even knowing if they were poisonous💀 good times
wish these bots would eat mushrooms without knowing they were poisonous 😐
Puff balls are one of the few mushrooms that don't have falsies. I like the small brown ones, and they're super easy to check if they're good or not just by squeezing them. If it's firm it's good, if it's squishy leave it alone it's almost gone to spore.
Uuhhhh, they have a false id. If it has a silhouette of a mushroom in the middle or it’s not perfectly opaque it’s not a real edible puff.
@@wilbur2earthballs have a black inside.
brown puffballs are usually not recommended to eat as that means they’ve been left out for a little too long, but they’re fine if not left out very long.
I never knew of anybody who even knew of these besides me. Growing up we would eat them fried, with fried dandelion flowers and smelt for dinner. Thank you so much for taking me back to this wonderful time with my grandparents.
How did you fry them? Like what was the cooking process? I would love to try this out myself.
@@kL-vs6wz i think you can just fry them in bread crumbs, like you would fry chicken. Ironically, it almost tastes like chicken, in my opinion.
@@bluefox8011 in my country breaded mushrooms ( especially - scentific name Macrolepiota procera) are common thing, we fried them just like chicken or other meat...first flour, then into the eggs and then dipping them in the bread crumbs.. I dont like mushrooms, but even meat lovers says it taste better than breaded meat. But my favorite thing out of them all is till breaded zucchini!
Idk but this made me soo happy, it’s like she was cutting a huge solid cloud that fell from the sky ✨
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾
God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him!
As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
Me and a vegan friend tried out the breaded and baked one you did at the end, and that’s the best alternative to a chicken tendie we have ever tried
@@fiorettiduseigneurcapybara2492 dude I'm so sorry you do but how is this relevant to this person's comment PLEEASE 😭😭😭
@cervushericium nah , just the smell of it make me gag , I can eat everything except for mushrooms :/
Firm reminder: if you want to not die, only forage with professionals or dont do it at all. Not fucking kidding, foraging mushrooms means taking your life into your own hands.
You have to be a retard to die with mushroom foraging. Obviously this advice applies when eating the mushrooms but you can touch, taste and spit almost every mushroom on earth with no issue. Stop making ppl fear a fun and rewarding hobby. Basic caution and cross reference research is all someone needs to start. Ffs ppl gotta start somewhere. Puffballs have almost no real lookalike and are very black and white on if they're good to eat or not. Same with something like oysters, Chicken of the woods. Even stuff like crown tipped coral or Chantelle isn't a death sentence in ANY WAY if you mistake their lookalike. You'll have a bad night, but you're not gonna die. Again. Stop making ppl fear a fun hobby!
I don't disagree, but puffballs can be identified super easily. Ask online if it's your first time, but if it has a solid inside, no stem, cap, or shape like any other mushroom, and is bigger than 6 inches in each dimension, I would say you found it.
generally, yes, definitely. as a mushroom hunter that is exactly correct. but with puffballs, theres no copycats. as the reply above mine says, as long as you see those then thats it.
@@terranndilldey7474too much info. 100000% sure that someone would get confused and get it wrong.

I absolutely love mushrooms! This looks so good. 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
YOURE SO LUCKY!!! IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO FIND PUFFBALLS. It looks sooooo good
“This is a mushroom”.

Ok but I have SO many of these around where i live and this gave me nostalgia

@@joshuaweezorak7042 yes ! They do so much. In South asia u dont hve those eatable mushroom. Mostly poision is there. But after watching alot on internet i bought mushroom . About 10, of them and when i cooked then they were like so less 😭😭 it shrinked so much and it lost so much water. I was so confident of mushrooms and my fam laughed lol cuz eating a mushroom is unique here.

Have you never had wings tossed in sauce before??? This was a normal amount.
I've never needed anything in my life but this mushroom I need you in my life
I know you probably can’t/shouldn’t eat it raw but it looks so FLUFFY like bread or something
It grows in my garden every autumn and I am aways soooo looking fotward to it the whole year 😅 it's so delicious 💯
This is so needed !!! Why are them only selling tiny mushrooms! This is 🤤
You can get them from mycocamy, they have all kinds of psychedelics.i got mine from mycocamy.
"Yes, you can eat it "

OMG these make you feel SOOO GOOD when you eat them. Every time I've eaten them my whole body feels like a cloud. My stomach esp calms down, it's like... My bowels are hugging a pillow 😌
I have also found them near my home in germany. They are indeed delicious
We have it in Nigeria, I like it ground dried and in soup as a thickner it called usu in the Igbo tribe. Yum 😋 😋
Thanks Deze Diwa, did you ever consider sharing your experiences, food and culture of the Igbo tribe on your own CZcams channel?
Consider doing so.
💗🇨🇦💗
Yes. Start a channel please. U can share everything u want. I’d love folk tales and even history. Gods bless!
I used to pick these with my grandfather. He was so knowledgeable about forging all types of fruits, mushrooms, vegetables etc. When he passed away my brother and I promised to learn how to pick mushrooms. We miss our grandpa and he was the smartest man❤️
He sounds like a fun person to spend the afternoon with. I'm sorry for your loss, and I would really love to experience what it's like to go on an adventure in search of something natural I think it's something great! And by the way, your grandfather has great grandchildren.
You got to now how to pick mushrooms shoot you eat the wrong one and yikes it can be a mess for you or even death
It looks so satisfying to slice it
Not the biggest fan of mushrooms but I would definitely try that one
The fact I learned about these mushrooms in a fanfic and just now seeing them and now knowing the fic wasn’t bullshiting me and these are real
Ngl i learned more about objects and vocabulary from Ao3 then I have in all my years of school
@@GalaxyTheLynx I've learned more from researching for writing fanfics than I ever thought I would and anyone who disses fanfic authors by saying they're not real writers are fos and should do some research of their own.
Lol, can't wait for this reaction to my bit on glassmaking in my fanfic. Turns out, they use the same colorant for black as they do to make clear, and no one can tell me why. I even messaged the Corning Museum of Glass about it, and they couldn't find an answer. 🤣
“Vegan butter”
I remember when it was just called margarine or vegetable oil.
@@firewizardrunepro of you want something that tastes like butter, you know what tastes like butter? Butter does. If you don’t like butter then why are you trying to simulate it. Like with the impossible beef or whatever you call it. If you don’t want beef, then why are you trying to force plants to taste like beef? Just eat squash or something idk. You are the ones with the weird complaints broseph.
Vegans don't understand that, the vegan alternative is quite bad compared to the real thing. Like vegan butter, margerine is no way better than real butter. Same with cheese, vegan cheese is worse than real cheese, real cheese has health benefits, no benefits of vegan cheese.
when I heard puff ball the term which popped in my head is "basidiomycetes"
Omg. Love it. I love to eat mushrooms. I'm so gonna get it xD
You can get them from MYCOCAMY, they have all kinds of psychedelics. And I got mine from mycocamy.
It looks like the softest cheese 🥹
Your so lucky you got your hands on one, well worth the 3 hour search!
Dude that puffball cut was soooo satisfying ahhhh.
I haven't had the chance to try em but i've heard they're really nice frozen
It looks like fried chicken 🍗🍗 😂😂 it looks soooooo good
We get puff balls in England too, some times the size of a footballs. Apparently they can be hollowed out and then filled up and baked. I just love it fried 😋
Oh I love those! They are a bit rare in Germany. But my Dad used to find one from time to time and my mom turned them into Schnitzel. It's so tasty!
Wir haben mal einen bei uns in der Pferdewiese gefunden
Von dem konnten 3 Familien essen
War richtig lecker
Wir haben danach leider nie wieder einen gefunden
The mushroom schnitzel looks so good!!!
I’m pretty sure I read a story about these mushrooms in a children story. Made me amazed that a giant mushroom exists. I forgot what the story is though but the amazement never left me.
This episode was brought to you by FRANK'S RED HOT SAUCE. -"FRANKS We really do put that shit on anything!"
This was not what I was expecting to see today! Puffball mushrooms are my favorite and my family use to eat them all the time when I lived in MN. They grew in the forest area behind our house. Thank you for sharing this, I forgot how much I missed them!
Puffballs look unlike most other types of mushrooms since they don't have gills, the young ones are solid spongy balls growing from the earth. These mushrooms are relatively easy to spot, since they can be quite large, round, and white. They tend to stick out against the green grass they grow in.
Its like in Plants Vs Zombies.
Here in Germany they are called "Riesenbovist" (giant bovist)
We coat them in breadcrumbs and fry them like Schnitzel. Very tasty!
It looks so good... I want to eat it so bad but i live in an urban area 😭
"It's called a puffball mushroom..."
That's a fucking Dino egg, love
Make sure that the puffball isn't ready to create spores. The puffball is basically at its younger stage, later on the insides will get kinda like a soft fluffy texture, a hoke in the top, which is to release the spore, with is kind of like a dust. It's made so that when raindrops hit it it will release the spores
Love puffball mushrooms. I have never seen them this big.
They are also great fun to stomp on when they are older as they are full of spores and inedible
Yess I love stomping on the old ones thy have that dust looking stuff that comes out and they make a pop
I want to find some of those so bad but I live in Australia so I can’t 😢 I can go find pine mushrooms though cuz there’s some feral pine trees near my place
Puffballs are best before the outer skin turns brownish, the whiter the outside, the better, and usually smaller than a golfball. We normally tossed them into soup or a stirfry to soak up the flavours, since like tofu or paneer, they don't have much of a taste of their own, but they soak up flavour readily.
Mushrooms are really nice for soaking up liquids, I like to stir fry them with a bit of soy sauce which goes really well with most of them.
Yes! We always get those in our yard 🥰 you should try to find chicken of the woods! I've never personally eaten it, but we found some this year.
I never hear anyone talk about it!
@bina nocht ah my dad found soo many bollets! So far he's gotten 5 drawstring backpacks full of all kinds of mushrooms in 2 days!
And they've all been found on our farm 💖💖
Too bad I don't really like mushrooms :/
Grew up on chicken of the woods! They always grew under our trees, soooooo yummy!
My sister just found a bunch of them a couple days ago. We breaded and fried them into nuggets, and I'm not kidding, they taste like chicken. I'm not a fan of the texture tho, really dense and slightly rubbery.
This is not a mushroom. This is one of the best creations i have ever seen. Looks like tofu woww mushrooms are so healthy
would love to try this!
That almost looks like chicken! Interesting, ive never liked mushrooms, but I didn't know they could look that good! I always thought they were sapouse to be rubbery and slimy
I used to hate mushrooms, but once I started working in a kitchen I learned a bunch of ways to prepare them and they are one of my favourite foods now! Rubbery slimy mushrooms = tough dry chicken: means they weren’t cooked correctly 🤠💗

Otherwise mushrooms are fine 🙂
u should try snow mushroom. im not a big fan of wood ear mushroom which commonly used in many asian dishes. but then i tried snow mushroom in chicken and veggies soup when i was a kid and IT IS AWESOME! since then i eat any mushroom on my plate :D
Puffball mushrooms are soooo freaking good!!!! My grandpa Cooks them up all the time and sends some over to my house. 10/10 would recommend

This reminds me of when Michael Scott started eating random Wild mushrooms and Dwight had to save him😂
For puffball mushrooms I prefer the smaller ones over large ones like this. They make great snacks (I’m pretty’s sure my dad just breads and fries them but it’s been forever since I’ve had any). My all time favorite forged mushroom, however, is chicken of the woods 🤤.
Huh. Over the past year, this video kept coming back over and over again, usually at the point where I nearly forget it. And every time, I still watch it through. How strange.
You can also dehydrate them and turn them to powder. It adds a good mushroom flavour to soup. For people who Maybe like mushrooms but not the texture

Yes! Here in Montana we fried them up with scrambled eggs and bacon😋🥰
Oh my gosh! Where can I find some. I have lived in montana almost my whole life and haven't gotten to try this delicious looking mushroom as I was told they are poisonous

"Yes you can eat it." Yet you should be careful with the bigger ones, as they can cause intestinal distress.
ironically funny
Well technically, you can still eat it.
@@pigeon1923 “everything is edible, but somethings you can only eat once”
@@radiorebel8223 twice, if you're quick enough about it ;)
Intestinal distress is usually caused when someone eats it after it has started yellowing. As long as it’s nice and white still the size doesn’t really matter too much. Although, always do lots of research before foraging for your own food, lots of look-a-likes with foraged foods that can be dangerous.
