¡¡¡Wow, I´ve never seen so many penny buns together in my whole life!!! I´ve been foraging mushrooms for more than 40 years in Spain, Austria, Germany and other countries and I can assure you that what is in this video is something truly exceptional and wonderful. Congratulations to the guide for the magnificent video and for his great didactic expertise when it comes to explaining the world of mushrooms.
Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. it has also helped me to survive depression
Psychedelic’s definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again again but it’s just so hard to source out of there.
I’m feeling the same way too. I put too much on my plate and it definitely affects my stress and anxiety level. I am so glad to be part of this community.
Thank you very much for your effort and the wonderful explanations. What I find disturbing is that the participants don't concentrate on you or the mushrooms, but are constantly filming or photographing with their mobile phones. Even though it's common nowadays, I find it careless and disturbing out in nature.
❤❤❤❤ the knowledge you have is outstanding….. the reassurance I have gained whilst foraging because of your clear descriptions and easy to absorb information has been the reason I now am addicted to spending every spare minute out in nature. Once intimidated by it all but slowing gaining the knowledge to reap the benefits and enjoy. Thank you
Great video, I've only recently gotten into mushroom picking and this year has been the best in Ireland for ceps also. Just one thing, I think the brown birch bolete turns blue when cut and is fine to eat. I'm going to go and look for chanterelles at the weekend, thanks for the motivation!
Wow, all those penny buns!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, nothing quite beats the three-dimensional aspect and a clear idea of size so your videos are a great complement to even the most extensive mushroom book library 😊
Here in Pennsylvania nearly all chanterelles have their stems eaten through by worms- often quite small ones. Thankfully they are often very plentiful and still delicious even with worm holes! ( worms themselves are rarely encountered- only the worm holes) Never heard of any insecticide associated with chanterelles.
I'm so jealous seeing all the great mycological content from UK foragers this year. My area of Essex is still so dry and barren. Unbelievable field of B. edulis.
For somebody trying to get into foraging mushrooms, this is gold! Very clear and easy to follow guidelines while covering a wide variety of mushrooms. I wonder if most of these grow in Sweden too. I'll find out soon ;) Keep these videos coming!
nice video, ive been following you for a long time now and have learned loads, i love how you have broken down and simplified rules for edibles, keep up the great work.
i found my first bunch of chanterelles today, that smell of apricots is 100% true, i found a range from small to large, around haldon forest in the south west uk, i left a few immature ones to spore for next year, woot!! oh they taste amazing!!!!
i dont know abour apricot but now that i have personally forraged chanterelles a few times. i am very familiar with thier very unique scent i have never encountered anything that smells quite like it. i truly belive i could pick a chanterelle out of a group of 10 blindfolded by scent alone.
What a special day! I can tangibly feel the excitement of finding all those varieties of mushroom and in such profusion! Amazing! Guess I'll be booking a course for next September!
Awesome video ! It's great to see, that all the mushrooms you presented in the video can currently be found in Southwest-Germany too. I'm in the forest whenever I find the time. The world of fungis is so exciting.
I'm listening in Montana USA. we have a course at university .Maybe when I'm truly retired . Bigstate long distance between towns. We've had forest fires. That's where I'll start. I need an app for cross reference of identity of species of my mushrooms. Shaggy mane ,Chantelle, chicken of the woods, puffballs and the brain one that scares me!
Oh my god, I thought Porcini was supposed to be rare! And you stumbled upon probably close to 200! Insane! Even though I’m not in the UK, I still appreciate the tips and helpful advice, as I’m sure I can use it here in Colorado as well. Next year I’m going to make an effort to find some, not true porcini, but close enough that it wasn’t a separate species until 2014, the Boletus rubriceps. Just as good, but you do need to be wary. It has a red cap, so it should be positively identified before cooking and eating to make sure it is the Rocky Mountain Red Bolete, though this is fairly easy, as long as it doesn’t stain, it is a yummy mushroom. There is also a similar mushroom that I need to be wary of, the Aspen Bolete, that can give you an upset stomach. Thankfully, it is in the Leccinum family, so you aren’t just going by the color of the cap. Hope to be able to experience the fun of foraging soon!
Ash and sycamore partner up with the spring shrooms: Morels It also saddens me to hear the "no red, no blue" rule. It removes some of the best edibles from the basket: Neoboletus erytropus, suillellus luridus, imleria badia.
@@korzer I understand. It's just that such basic rules tend to run wild, and you will then meet people who will scold you for being irresponsible if you forage a bluing mushroom.
@@HotelPapa100 yeah this. It’s hard not to feel like there’s a better way than making hard and fast rules even for beginners given all the phobia entangled in foraging
Love watching you but your wrong about amanita pantherina she's the best at curing many thing's along with amanita muscaria and regalia, I work with this beautiful mushroom.
@@WildFoodUK1 great video, unbelievable luck to find alk that on the same day. In spain today just found wild boar and octopus, but not for eating! Only bracket fungus here yet.
Bay bolete's are very easy to identify and is one of the most renowned boletes which turn blue. Telling people to avoid blue entirely will mean people will miss out on one of the best edible boletes. Other than that excellent vid.
I am wondering if 2022 was a 'bolete year'. It was about four or five years ago we had one, and I was finding hundreds of bay boletes at PuddleTown, Dorset. Never seen as many as that year. They come around every four or five years. I thought it might be the case as I also found a huge patch of porcini, about 40 a couple of weeks ago.
Great vid as usual. Have to watch it in parts but comments so far,,, I found field blewits on grass near a cops of sycamore btw. And what about driads saddle for an edible polypore ? .. to be continued
No thanks I don't take mind changing drugs ! Nature has been showing me it's wisdom since I were 7 years old . When I died at 33 and obviously returned , well let's just say I'm far more aware of my surroundings than I used to be !
Thanks Jason. These spammy idiots are really becoming a pain in the A*** on our channel. I've removed their comments so you can remove yours if you want to ..
@@WildFoodUK1 I'm happy with my comment thanks .. I can't see it offending anyone but if you think it will , I wouldnt be offended if you deleted it ! It was just an observation, No pun intended at all ... Keep up the good work !
Tried a few easily identifiable ones this year chicken of woods, macro, parasol and those er...little pointy ones i shouldn't mention. Would love to know the distinctive features off russula, boletes and others as i have seen a lot! The "wood mushroom" and similar look very indistinguishable from others of many different types. Hmm russula vs death cap is greatest worry. Very hard to identify some of these other ones ive seen like small flat blue ones. Many i see, books sometimes say not really worth it as 'bland' like some of the bright pink russulas that are edible but seems a shame to disturb if they taste of nothing.
I have found your videos very useful too. But I'm stuck on a fungi I found locally in West Cork. If I send you a picture can you identify it for me? Thanks
@@jimmyrustler8983 thnx Jimmy. I've still to find a use but the rose water sounds like a great idea. I'll try that. I'd love to make a tea from them but I've a bad oral allergy to ragweed and I'm guessing these would contain ragweed pollen too unfortunately...
@@jimmyrustler8983 I've done it Jimmy, It worked great. Smells so nice, few sprays of davidoff cool water too. The smell is so fresh and clean. The girls won't be able to resist now ahah. Thank you!
I found a beautiful patch of mushrooms in a ground bed of ivy. But they smelled of ‘Chemical/glue’ as I cooked them. So I threw them out....after a little taste. Weird tasting too. Is it dangerous to eat such fungi?
Please do not do this. You are absolutely risking your life without positive mushroom id. There are many delicious edible mushrooms out there but picking random mushrooms and hoping for the best is absolutely not the way you go about it
@@ninacoutinho9513 The chemical scent was likely stinking dapperling. I've found and ID'ed them before, they're pretty smelly. Eating those would not be good.
Why bags? Surely you should use whicker baskets which allow spore dispersal whilst you forage. They were a requirement in some parts of Europe. Please, no plastic bags.

The bay bolete, imlaria badia, stains blue - so is one of the exceptions to the rule, and as he says, are just as delicious as porcini.

Great video. Are you planning on doing another video like this? I’d love to see it in 2023! Cheers guys.
Great video, its cool to see that you are getting more comfotable speaking to larger groups of people, keep it up!
Very good information. Too bad though that the image resolution is a bit low with 720p. It's not easy to see the details of some of the mushrooms.
I'm hopefully getting some better kit soon!
QUALITY.
Very helpful video & explained very well. Thank you for your information & advice. Look forward to watching more of your videos.👍
Great and informative video. Thank you. Greting from Ireland.
i have only seen one flush of penny buns. Is it over? does the same area flush many times until frost or is it only once?

Appreciate the Colo local. I'm from there. Montana now
I'm jealous that your chanterelles over there don't get buggy! Ours in the eastern US get chewed up pretty badly when they're not young.
I found the beefsteak yesterday 🙌 😍

In Germany we also had lots of penny buns and parasols this year. But we had a very bad year for chanterelles.
Penny Bunn's in my country are the most wanted mushrooms... Most expensive
Oh no most of them picked the old ones to take home because they are big in size when really it’s the young porcinis that are the best 😂😫
Much wow!
Great vid as usual. Have to watch it in parts but comments so far,,, I found field blewits on grass near a cops of sycamore btw.
And what about driads saddle for an edible polypore ? .. to be continued
the reason I group the dryads a bit different is the clear stem, they are now in the genus Cerioporus too :)

dude you should have used finasteride and minoxidil to save your hair atleast 2 years ago. Like it took me 4 months to regrow all my diffuse thinning.
