Finding Fungi: Foraging with Marlow Renton

Diverse, delicious and occasionally dangerous, mushrooms capture our imagination in a unique way.
For Marlow Renton, cofounder of Wild Food UK, a fascination with fungi has sprouted an encyclopaedic knowledge of mushroom varieties. Foraging for these fruits on the ground takes care and attention, giving those who go searching a closer understanding of the living systems at work beneath our feet.
As Marlow teaches others, foraging for mushrooms helps reveal the innumerable connections in the web of life all around us, and provides a tasty dinner at the same time.
See the Wild Food UK website for more information on foraging in the UK: www.wildfooduk.com/

Marlow has taught all of us so much. It's really great to see him get the quality of video that he deserves. Please do more, and longer, to this quality!

I love this video brilliant. Your channel is very special to us fans as special as the film is itself . Your channel is growing as it rightly deserves. This is the advert/coverage this channel warrants.

Thank you very much!

Very well shot. Must have been challenging with such a lot of macro work.

[@kinward]

Thank you. Yes, the tiny scale of some of the mushrooms meant stable camera movements weren't really possible. Fortunately they're interesting enough by themselves.

Love your passion and philosophy of the natural world. Keep doing what you're doing.

As an adult getting into mushroom foraging I am quite mad that as a child I was only taught about berries, nuts, and wile veg, like onion, leek, and garlic. I was always told all mushrooms bad and will kill me, now I'm learning many of the mushrooms I run into are either food or medicine, or both. I've also learn day lilies are a freaking potatoes basically. My whole life I've been buying food, when the whole time I'm surrounded by free food that's just as, of not more, nutritional than what I get at the store.
