I love the passion of your friend. England has such a perfect climate for mushrooms, yet its not culturally ingrained. My Russian parents and grandparents would be in heaven. The milkcap mushroom is especially heavenly. In all my life I've never tasted anything as good as that mushroom marinated/fermented in salt.
I think it's because we became industrialised so long ago, which also meant further restrictions on foraging, that this knowledge hasn't been passed down since no one needed it when they moved to the cities. It is a shame but I think it's great that new generations are taking an interest in it now.
You definitely found some “beautiful specimens”, and I certainly learnt a bit more about which mushrooms are edible. I always thought mushrooms with gills were bad!
Man, those parasols would go straight into a frying pan with butter, salt and caraway seeds, then on a slice of bread and be gone in a minute! 🤤🤤🤤 Btw, some mushrooms like the ink cap temporarily alter your metabolism in such a way that when you drink alcohol your organism begins storing poisonous acetaldehydes produced by digesting the alcohol instead of continuing on with changing it into more harmless metabolites. Then you can go blind or even snuff it. Difficult to explain as it's a rather complicated process and my chemistry-english sucks 😑 Anyway, is there something you don't put chilli in? 😃
Brilliant. Love the way you two guys work and interact with each other. Such fun. Wood love to see more of Lee's Shroom knowledge. Thanks so much for sharing.
What a beautiful basket of early autumn goodness! So often, the preparation brings out the best: butter, cream, salt and pepper, a bit of good sherry. I love mushrooms with pheasant and rabbit and venison. Your mixture, sliced, and made into a creamy sauce would pair well with fettuccine!
Well that was cool👍 I have a Mushroom guru I've gotten to know I'm hoping to take out to my camp to teach me more about the mushrooms. They are popping here Great video Dustin
Nice foraging! One point that youseem to have missed - my brother-in-law is a mycologist, and recommends giving a shake to any fungi you gather and want to encourage, to spread the spores. I suspect patting the little piggy originates with this.
Dude, go to a country where they don't micro manage their forests. You will find choice mushrooms all over. My wife is Polish. We go out picking and have full baskets after 15 minutes. In this country we don't have enough forest and what there is is too intensively managed. It makes me laugh when foresters tell me there are no mushrooms because I am picking them. Its their fault. Let trees die and decay instead of cutting them down. In short, shaking mushrooms makes no difference. People in the UK pick mushrooms less than any other European country, yet we have far fewer mushrooms. Its all about habitat, or lack thereof.
@@rww805 No, it's all about population density, or surplus therof. Poland has about a third of what England has. There are some unmanaged woodlands, but they are few and far between, simply because we have so little space left over after housing, industry and agriculture.
I love your content, lee needs to be in more videos for sure! these two videos where brilliant, and you guys seem to bounce off each other, cant wait for more from the both of you!
@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS oh brilliant! I cant wait!! I'm hoping to even get involved with one of the courses, would love to have more knowledge on the whole subject!
@@charlie.h4829 Mate, come along on the 9th Nov and get involved in some hand-on foraging followed by an absolute feast just meters from the Viking House!
One thing I have learn is that there is a lot to know about mushrooms before you pick and eat them. I am use to only eating what I would call the common mushroom with pink gills. I have found out that you can eat puff balls which surprised me. But will try one next time I see one. Puff balls would feed a number of people they are so big.
Another great video guys.. informative and interesting,. I love mushrooms and have realised the importance of the medicinal properties.. such as turkey tail among others. Thanks guys.
A really good, interesting & informative video once again Dustin, I wish I could remember all the thing's Lee & you know. Keep up the great work my friend, ATB 🙂🥃👍 Andy
Good rule of thumb - dont eat wild mushrooms raw. There are exceptions like ceps, but not a good idea to encourage people to eat wild mushrooms raw in general
I don't know how the situation is in the UK, but in central europe you should be concerned of the Echinococcus multilocularis, wich is a parasite that will damage your inner organs and even the brain. So you're advised to cook wild mushrooms to at least 90°C. Also you should never eat boletes with yellow flesh raw since the colour is caused by xerocomic acid (wich also causes the blueish stain when cut) wich is poisonus but destroyed by heat.
@@rainerzufall5916 damm ive always wondered why scarletina bolete requires cooking. Now it checks out - judging by its discoloration it probably contains high amount of this acid. Same is probably true for Leccinum species.
Here in Illinois we had the perfect spring for mushrooming. At a nearby park we filled a 66 quart cooler with chanterelles one morning. Against the advice of the canning books, I did indeed can them all. They came out beautifully and are very good canned.
Great series, this! Ive found those scarletina boletes myself. Crazy mushrooms! Theyre great dried out and saved for later. I think the flavour intensifies so theyre good to add depth to stews etc
i live in nj, i go mushroom picking with my father.. we are of polish background. we mostly pick a variety of boletes, but also milk caps and green knights. wish we could find em as big as the ones u guys have. there used to be hundreds of em, but we see more and more ppl picking them every year, and theyre just not growing this year.
Nice haul! I was always under the impression that the charcoal burner was the only brittle gill russula without brittle gills and more of a waxy feel/consistency?
It would have been really good if Lee had also talked more about if these particular mushrooms have non-edible/poisonous lookalikes and how to avoid them. I know he discussed some telltale techniques for identifying some of them but it would be good, especially for beginners, to know exactly what not to eat and why. Brilliant video otherwise, shall try my hand at this in the late summer
Great video! You want to be careful eating raw mushrooms from the wild. I was showing someone a Chanterelle I found after days in the fridge and I saw a small white worms wiggle out of it. A little butter, a hot pan and a dash of salt might change your mind about eating them cooked. Awesomely informative find though fellas!
Lee does mention maggots at 9:36 so it's not like they aren't informing people about this. Lee also mentioned that some mushrooms shouldn't be eaten raw at all (14:38), like chanterelles which can give you an upset stomach if eaten raw.
Dustin James! Hello good sir! I think you and Lee make a great team. Both filled with knowledge and always eager to pass that knowledge on. I'm looking forward to seeing more of you together. Following you both on insta now (and amber!). The adverts are worth it for the content buddy! Just don't go OTT 😂 I wish I could join you on your course! I sincerely mean that. I envy all who can attend that course.
I've seen your deer hides in other videos (TA Outdoors) and I'm interested in giving it a try after this hunting season. You should make a video on this! In the meantime, are there any surefire, reliable resources out there you can suggest for a total beginner?
That porcinis seen better days, there will be alot of maggots coming out of the pores unless you dry it straight away. Imo their much better before the spore pores turn green.
im gonna spoil something for u guys. yea, most mushrooms will have maggots from the base, but u can have a mushroom with no holes in the base and still have maggots in the head of the mushroom. im not sure where ppl get that impression from. i found a mushroom yesterday with 0 holes in the base and it had like 24 maggots in the head.
Thank I wish I'd of found you a week ago I found some beautiful red boletes I thought they were poison so I'd just leave them or watch them turn blue dang I had some beauties I live in Missouri ozarks it just rained I'll go in the woods need to check on those dead & dieing trees its fall time I've found lots of honeys in my yard chanterelles black trumpets and more thank you please continue to make your videos 🤟👍💜💚
I'm disappointed this isn't live chat. I havn't got mushroom in my schedule and wanted to fill the chat with puns. I'm a fungi and.. I dunno.. something something shaggy parasol. Ink cap? Bah!

yum! i would say LOL on the hallucinogenic mushroom but it's not so funny if unknown to the person eating it. so many mushrooms and so many poisonous ones...i don't trust myself to pick them.
I can't eat mushrooms at all, but this was very educational. I wouldn't trust my knowledge to be sure I was picking edible ones. I'll leave that to the experts.

Should mushrooms be cut instead of pulled to promote regrowth?
mrobershaw2 I think that’s up for debate.
It doesnt matter.
In Germany we call Boletus/Porcini Steinpilze (Stoneshroom), because they look like they are made out of stone.
That porcinis seen better days, there will be alot of maggots coming out of the pores unless you dry it straight away. Imo their much better before the spore pores turn green.
