G. autumnalis, G. oregonensis, G. unicolor, and G. venenata were thought to be distinct from G. marginata due to differences in habitat - from wiki makes you think the area you hunt in is the largest difference the experts couldnt Id them either

Appreciated! Change is inevitable;)

Oaks tend to seed loads better into shrub trees but not under an established canopy. In less, there is a clearing. Beech is very good at seeding under more established trees. Oaks long life ensures they keep a prominent population in the canopy.

Nice video. It left me with a few mysteries though: Flashlight inspection?What to do without an inspector? I can't find any info on what it would be / look like, if a tick is embedded in skin? Why are you standing in thick leaves? Yikes. It had me on edge LOL

Oaks are abruptly dying too.

This is definately not the case on our 115 acres. Red, white, black oaks. North Central North Carolina.

I have a small forest 30 acres or so I own 4 of them. I have I think 5 large red oaks and your right I do not see any replacements. I have shag bark hickory and smooth bark. Some beach. Tulip is becoming an issue something is killing the big ones here lost a dozen of them in the past decade. Black birch we have a lot of but that gets the canker which kills them. Ash we had a dozen they got all wiped by the ash borer. Elm we had 2 big ones the hurricanes ended them got a few extremely large white walnuts. One example of a sycamore in the woods no idea how he got there. The rest is maple combo of swamp maple and sugar maples and the younger maples often die to a leaf browning.

Moral of the story..... Stock up on bourbon!

"This is the most poisonous plant in North America." Walks up to it and touches it. Australians get the giggles.

I live about 4 miles from the Dean road spring, the water coming out of that hill is pristine per testing I have had done. I just left there , while there I filled my 4 gallon jugs and put a temp thermometer under the flow ,water temp was 52deg, the air temp was 85. My goodness it tasted so good. The poison hemlock is not in bloom yet... 😄

"I'm not aware of anybody who eats this mushroom" takes me out

Wish you could provide info on bracket fungi and its use in making shelf displays.

Hemlock flourishes here in NorCal, often in huge clusters. As a fairly new forager, I was sure to learn to identify this plant very early on in my studies. It also looks similar to many edible and medicinal plants, so if you are a forager please make sure you know this plant inside and out!

We've noticed that here in West Virginia. Our large healthy looking Oaks are blowing over. The root systems seem to be suffering from the wetter conditions, and other trees are taking over. We've been going into those blowdown areas and taking out all but the oak seedlings.

In Europe it is worth to follow also linden and popplar trees

I like how science-informed this is. I like hearing about the taxonomy of these, not just identifying features, & I like how the identifying features includes landscape features not just the mushroom itself. Does anyone here know if there are some woody mushrooms that are inedible (because of skeletal hyphae not because of toxicity) that can be made into a broth (or tincture etc) & discarded?

Bioweapons much? Oaks, elms, now beech? All we’ll be left with is crappy boxelder

Ive been burning my property every two years, im a certified burner in NC…ive seen more turkey, oak saplings, hickory growing…

I thinned my 40 acress in Piedmont region of NC…cut out all sweetgum, elm, locust, sycamore, hornbeam, tulip poplar…i only left oak and hickory…

I have lots of herbs growing on my property. I cut nothing down except once a year. But I have no idea what to do about a hip that's going dry. I am almost 80. Any suggestions?

If you want to see an old growth hemlock forest before it is gone, you could go to Salt Springs State Park in Susquehanna County. Always interesting to see huge hemlocks well before they start snapping in half or dead inplace.

I was looking to plant a couple oaks on my land. I started reading how the diseases of all the old trees are starting to kill them. I freaked out of planting oaks. I’m like how are oaks in danger..🤷‍♀️ Almost every tree has something trying to kill it nowadays Great video, excellent info not just passed around scare tactics. Thanks

In CT we lost eight Ash trees to the borer since 2016 and now have 10 Beech that have the leaf disease. We do have one huge oak, but daily deer which eat all the acorns!

Leave it alone and nature will regenerate itself as it should. Oaks grow slow and live long. Tulip poplars are the opposite. Saying that Poplars will dominate because they have more in the midstory now is foolish. Poplars will grow and die many times in the hundreds of years it will take for that oak seedling to become a magnificent tree. Active management is fraught with peril. Of course, we should also always discourage practices like my neighbor cutting down all of the oak trees on her forest property because she was tired of all of the acorns on her cart paths and tennis court. I was sad to see them go, but in the end, it's her land.

Can you grow goldenseal? Will it grow from seeds?

Just lost a HUGE 200 year old Oak in my driveway. Double trunk. Split down the middle. Red Oak. Very sad day. I was just about to register it as a Champion tree.

Very good presetation Adam,

Hi Adam, i like your stuff, and I learn some everytime I watch your videos, thanks a lot.

I felt this for decades, the lack of fire and this day and age Dash management, have caused the forest to turn crummy. And, speaking for Des Plaines River Valley over here actually not all that far from O'Hare Airport, give it another 40 years or so there won't be a whole lot of Oak left to see Hickory is on not much around here I think they were cut away by the old Farmers servers and and that for use how much for different purposes like tools what not.. I repeat fire is necessary for people in the future to to see the habitat that was existing at the time of White Settlement I got a couple of Burr Oaks in my front yard that I planted from acorns about 35 years ago they're doing great. The Gypsy monster attacking them this year but I think they will make it

i feel like american sweet gum, and red and silver maple are taking over. its not only higher deer populations but higher squirrel populations as well. humans have eliminated every predator these pests had before

I am here because I seem to have 'introduced' myself to some kind of stinging nettles. I apparently left my dog leash in a patch of it when I let her off leash. It's a cotton-blend, ribbon-style leash that keeps giving me more nettles. At one point I hung it around my neck, which seems to be the source of a couple of rash spots there. Oy vey!

You didn't mention how the birds love sumac✨

Sounds like Washington

Out hiking yesterday I found hundreds of young trees but couldn't locate any living larger ones. I will have to go in the fall and look for the foliage. Cheers mate 💚🙏🏼

The big competitor to the oaks here (coastal plain Texas) are hackberries.

I sorta wonder if instead of tryin to keep an ecosystem that cant adapt to us alive , that we should be more focused on managing the system to come ,and find a way for everything to adapt more gradually into this new system. I think we might be delaying the inevitable. Just food for thought. For instance, my area of NY was all farm, then it was beautiful red cedars that dominated. Now the hardwoods are blocking all the sun from the cedars and there are almost none left. Though I understand cedars are not the keystone species oak are.

Thanks for telling us that morels must be cooked. I didn’t know this the first time I tried them and got very sick afterward. Duh.

You failed to note that acorns from Oak tree's provided up to 40% of the native American diet and was the primary protein source of the natives. The natives weren't only using burning as a method of forest restoration, they were planting oaks intentionally after these fires in order to grow more trees. Consider these forests in that context, that they aren't as wild as we would like to believe, but had been cultivated by the people who relied on them for tens of thousands of years. You can kind of look at it like a wild farm in a way.

I feel like my area was naturally fairly mesic in the early days, so it may not be an issue. Northeast Ohio has a massive, low lying area & the early reports from settlers talk about dealing with pretty much unwalkable forests & tons of large swamps. I'm still working out what all I can & can't get to grow here. The only part I'm sad about is we have virtually no native pine forest left in this area, to my knowledge & it probably used to be fairly half & half.

We have old growth oaks. Most of them are dying at a rapid rate. We were told that a blght is attacking the oaks. When we get them cut down many have core rot. Southcentral Pennsylvania

The general population here in America thinks that it is dangerous if it doesn't come from a grocery store. It's sad.

And if she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood, therefore she's a witch.

What will Budwiser do

I'm here because I just found a bunch of them in coastal NC. Surprisingly fresh and growing beautifully in a hardwood mulch. Also a big clump of turkey tail right in the middle of them. Lucky me 😊

Ive seen some grow in yards and parks and wondered if they are edible

I have also seen gypsy moths preferring Oak leaves to others in NY state.

Thanks, always super cool information.

Thank you. I have many of these various plants in my yard, and didn't know the difference.

The oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all of the light…

Do not ever just pick edibles for a "trailside nibble" like he mentioned. There are lots of animals that pass liquid and solid waste onto the forest floor. At the very least give it a good rinse. But what I always do is a fast 30 to 60 second blanch in boiling water. This should kill any parasites or bacteria or other harmful substances and it will kill little tiny bugs, and often times they are so small you can't see them. Also it is important when trying something for the first time to put a little of the plant onto the inside of your wrist to see if you are allergic to it
