I have just gotten properly into foraging recently (done a little in the past but not fully) and I really enjoy all your videos! I have started to build up a map in my head for where I have found things so I am glad to hear that's a good tactic. Paid off well as I found some Velvet Tuft a few weeks ago that was just too old to eat but with the cold snap earlier this week I noticed some more popping up in another area; so I walked to the previous spot and found some fresh stuff! Went great on toast and on pasta. Will be passing by those parts evetry time there's a cold snap now hehe.
@WildFoodUK1 Yes, in the Netherlands they also grow mostly on apple trees, only poplar is more popular. I haven't seen much mistletoe irl, they grow mostly in the south of Limburg, a province i haven't visited often. The 'wild' mistletoes i saw grew in poplar, apple trees and i've seen two grow in an oak. In the rest of the Netherlands you mostly find them in botanical gardens, were they are sown by the staff, not by birds. In Dutch mistletoe is named maretak or vogellijm. Translated: mare branch (same mare as in nightmare) and birdglue. The first name hints at the magical properties of the plant to ward of evil when hung in the house, the other name refers to the very sticky seeds, in the middle ages used to catch little birds. Oops, this reply got a bit long again. Wish you a great christmas and everything good for 2025. Edit: not a bit long, way too long 😂
Could you do a video about how to fill and use the foraging journal? Mine is still empty (though it got rained on so many times). I don’t know what to write in it. It would be great great to have an instructional video of how different people capture their thoughts and findings and also how they use it over the years
I keep finding Amber Jelly Roll, instead of the wood Ear i been looking for. I wonder if you seen Amber Jelly (Exidia) at your location, i find them a lot here up in America (Mid west Region)
Yep I literally found two small wood blewitts late November only where I'd remembered I previously found them. Very disappointed. All there was was tons of litter & burned out fire pits in the woods - disconnected human beings eh... Time to find some new foraging locations I think 🤔
I see the orchard as mistletoe it makes a nice cup of tea 🍵 thank you for sharing 🕊️
Lovely, rustic kitchen
I'm very glad I learned forging during winter because it makes my summer foraging a whole lot easier.
That’s look yummy 🤤
Only recently got into mycology and your channel - absolutely loving it. Thanks for your videos, and hope you all have a great Christmas!
Thank you a good reminder of what to look out for on our Christmas walks. 🎄
Looks lovely! Have a lovely Christmas all. 🎉
Underated channel for any forager... Brilliant to see the evolution of the channel! Happy Xmas from the Dordonge
Thanks, you too!

Half an hour walking, ten minutes wok-ing 😁
Are those mistletoes in the orchard trees?
Yes it loves an apple tree :)

Nice one Marlow.
Beware non- organic cider.
The perfect husband

How comes you dont have an extractor hood?
I did rub my eye after cutting up chili many years ago. I agree with the recommendation not to do it XD
Ouch!
