Very good, concise guide. These are a great early mushroom and I think one of the safest for novice foragers. I find they need a bit of help flavour-wise but fortuitously there are plenty of wild herbs out and in their prime now too.
I've started learning about foraging since the new year but finding it really, really hard to locate anything. I know the time of year doesn't help, but also my location in the South East just seems to be flat farm land everywhere with this unknown grassy-looking crop being grown all over. Wooded areas are few and far between - the area I live is just so heavily worked with agriculture. So far I've spotted grey oyster mushrooms once, wood ears once, wild garlic once and what looked like old sloe berries in a few places, but that's about it unfortunately. I go out a lot too, walking for hours in the countryside but I can't seem to find much, even with some good foraging and mushroom guides and a detailed foraging calendar. Hoping summer will be more productive, but my passion is really for mushrooms so I guess I'll have to get in the car and look somehwere else!
I started by taking the book "Food For Free" by Richard Mabey out on walks. Best advise is to focus on one new edible per walk and really study. This way you will build up a strong knowledge. Much better to really know an identification than be 80 to 90% sure as this can lead to mistakes...
Just keep on at it and relax you will find something and when you find you first haul it will all be worth it the dopamine rush is like nothing else. Also buy large field mushrooms and portobello cut them up and spread them on meadows and gardens
I just cooked some I found on my island in Swedish West Coast. Made a Sauce with Creme and Dijon and Garlic, white wine together with long cooking Spring Chicken..Extremely good. I took the chance based on it is beginning of May. The deadly White mushrooms come in August earliest. These Mushrooms are quite heavy, meaning a lot of food! Thanks
This is very informative video, thank you a lot. I just found the same mushroom in Finland. It is very rare here and grows only in some southern parts.
Thank you! I just found a load high up on the downs. I did pick some bigger ones, oh well. There were plenty though that I left so they will come back (and lots still growing too) :)
The younger ones are quite good, but I'd also keep in mind that the larger ones have more flesh and are the ones that tend to already have spread their spores the most. I typically go mostly for the medium-small to medium-large specimens and leave the smallest ones; I also take the largest ones if they're still good, but typically they tend to be spoiled.
@@UKWILDCRAFTS i found a few yesterday i believe as they get abit older they tend to fold up at the end the smell is nice and flourish could i email you some picture of it just to be sure great video btw 👌

Where do you live? I also live south east but have a few county parks nearby which do have a few (but not all of like) varieties.

I also live in Finland and I think I found these mushrooms growing on my backyard, near the forest edge. They grow in the fairy ring.

I found a fresh bit of beefsteak fungus while foraging earlier it was still as tough as boot leather, i'll keep an eye out for st george's shrooms
Great timing i just found a ton in my garden! To me they stink of candle wax. Great video as always! Thank you!
Candle sniffing is bad for your health
Thanks 😊

Thanks 😁
I like this channel. I do wish you'd make more videos though!
❤️❤️❤️
I've been finding them since the beginning of April this year
Good year for them. Because of the amount of rain we had in March
@@UKWILDCRAFTS yes I like them with wild garlic flower buds
Well done :-)
just found some today, 23/04, in irleand
Great 👍
Cheers 😁
Found a tonne in my garden.. just picked them all as I need to cut the grass..
Oh, I subscribed 😂
Peppery taste raw, and milky sap?
Am driving dandelion tea coz you educated me🙏
Picked two yesterday. Just slightly worried about being redcap though....
Is there any chance of confusing this with clitocybe rivulosa? They're both white with a mealy smell.
Less than likely as clitocybe rivulosa grows during late summer to late autumn.
Thats not the fae ring.. Fae circles have clutter next to each other like u draw with mushroom no space in between
Great video 👍🏾 What are they like to eat ?
Thanks 😊. I find them similar to you’re normal shop bought mushrooms but have a meatier texture. Nice in creamy sauces with pasta

Excellent video, better than Marlow's, so I unsubscribe from him, and subscribe to you and spend my time gazing.
Thanks 🙏
