You CAN’T tell the (in)edibility of a mushroom by its color, nor by any single identification marker! Basically you’ll have to learn mushrooms one by one!
Want to know more about toxic mushrooms? start from
the beautiful, entry-level Jack-o’-lantern, and see how it can resemble other 6 edible mushrooms!

Very cool thank you

I love chanterelles, they look brighter than the jack o lanterns, which look pumpkin orange. I’ve never found any but I hope to someday. I’ve tried to find chanterelles but I’ve only found the false ones. From what I’ve read they are quite toxic, so I avoid them. I wish I could find some chanterelles. It looks easy to find them but when I’ve gone in the forest I’ve found Amanitas, maybe a couple Psilocybin mushrooms, maybe a couple oyster mushrooms and some that are too hard to identify, but never any chanterelles.

I live in Florida and a huge cluster of mushrooms sprung up under a tree in my front yard. I know less than nothing about mushrooms, but would like to know if these are poisonous. Light brownish orange a little smaller than the width of my hand and about 4 inches tall if I pick it off the group of mushrooms. Could you help me identify?

Do jack o lanterns change color on bruising?
omg wtf
I wish you would use the proper names or at least reference them along with common names. It may seem difficult for beginners but pays off long term. Shortcuts will bite you in the ass in this hobby. Every expert I know will tell you to avoid common names or at minimum reference the proper name when teaching. There is good reason for this and is a well known practice in mycology groups and forums.

Remember folks: All mushrooms are edible -at least once.
MotionArtist3D
Sorry but not very informative. Even though your small txt kind of indicating which is and which is not, it would have been more helpful to spell it out loudly "This is poisonous, Do NOT eat it. Better yet do NOT TOUCH IT. BUT overall a good video.
Ben Grrrette
Thank you.
Pepper Sanchez
You didn't mention which ones were poisonous and which ones were edible
David Thomas
great video! it was on point! if you come across a velvetfoot mushroom, they look like jacks too, but are an edible like honey. they look like a cross between a galarina, a jack & a honey. they have white spores & a velvety stem near the bottom. they taste great!

Thank you. This is the best video on honey mushrooms and chanterelle that I have ever seen. It was very clear and easy to follow and you gave us enough time to process the information. Great.

Learning the mushrooms one by one is the way to go, for sure. Here along the West coast, I see folks getting confused most often by the "False Chanterelle" (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca). We've got so many different kinds of real Chanterelles, so I can see why folks have trouble – they think they are just seeing variability within what folks all lump together as Chanterelles. I like using the solid stems of the chanterelles as an identifier, too, and how they peel apart like string cheese. So many mushrooms to find and enjoy — happy mushroom hunting!

Hello where is ur country? Because many wild mushrooms are similar with here in Korea!
MrGoosePit
Another well produced, educational video! I went out last week on my first mushroom hunt for anything besides morels. I found hen-of-the-woods, lion's mane, and pheasant back. Cooked each one over the next 3 days. All very delicious. My favorite was the lion's mane. Thanks for your help teaching me how to identify, and cook, more edible mushrooms!
