GoNorth Japan | Hunting for Wild Mushrooms in Japan @GoNorthJapan | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Went foraging for wild mushrooms recently in the wilds beyond the Toyosawa dam on the outskirts of Hanamaki, Iwate. I've been foraging with Haruo-san for more than 12 years now. I'm still skittish about mushrooms as so many are poisonous and it's so easy to make a mistake, but I love being out hiking and foraging - though the spring wild greens are more my speed.
We say "bori" a lot in this video, which is local slang. They are more commonly called naratake, or honey mushrooms in English.
I've got other foraging videos -- including how to prepare wild vegetables in the kitchen -- here:
