Such a great teacher Marlow. I love how you stay on topic for the absolute beginner essential knowledge.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thank you :)

[@twecharclimber]

Fantastic content, I'm just going to purchase the book to help support your channel. I've been watching for a few years now and this has been my favourite so far particularly as most of the information and identification markers I remembered from your other videos, keeping it simple and safe as possible. Great work

[@Solarserpent0]

Im a novice forgager and unfortunatly either havent had the time or money to attend a course but thanks to your videos and book I have sucessfully identified an consumed Chicken of the woods, Amethyst Decievers, Red Cracking Bolete, Wood Blewits,Golden Chanterelles and just last week Parasols! I hope to attend a course next year to learn more!

[@WildFoodUK1]

Glad to help :)

[@e.s.lavall9219]

I'm in London so it's hard to get to any of your courses but also found your videos and books very helpful! We had fairy ring champignons in a biryani the other day❤

[@silver4072]

You are such a nice person to watch talking about mushrooms. It's a pleasure to listen to you. I like you down to earth approach and the way you demystify all the myths. Thank you for making this video.

[@WildFoodUK1]

You're very welcome :)

[@zedjay81]

[@kieran7409]

Thanks Marlow, such a brilliant free guide. I've signed up to your patreon to help support the work you do.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thank you so much :)

[@joeaverage3444]

Cheers. I spend loads of weekends every autumn going mushroom foraging. It's just great being out in nature, all the fresh air and things to see. I stick to boletes, because they are low risk and some of the tastiest mushrooms you can find.

[@keritingaslialami]

Thank you, you always give clear information which is very helpful. I have learned a lot from you and got your book👍Got some Penny Bun this week and just came back from evening walk and got some Saffron Milkcap mushrooms. I'm going to add to my tea tonight

[@WildFoodUK1]

Great video, Marlow. Met you at Gary’s wedding at the weekend! Hope you’re well

[@WildFoodUK1]

Hi Will, it was great to meet you and a lovely day. It's a shame I had to leave early for my course the next day (still felt rough) but we'll hook up next time you're down :)

[@adnanalshboulvarieties]

Marlow is a real inspiration for the wild food in the Uk and outside the Uk You deserve a royal appreciation and should be awarded an honory prefix of SIR thanks for your unlimited efforts

I dont know if i can attatch a picture here, but i think ive a specimine that beats the giat puffball record 😊 Always loved your videos Marlow , thank you

[@WildFoodUK1]

send us a photo to [e-mail] :)

[@vinvu9978]

Hi there, does woods with sunlight that can reach the floor have more mushroom than the one that have a thick layer of tree that cover a lot of sunlight that makes the floor really dark and wet? Thank you, love all of your longer videos

[@WildFoodUK1]

Most don’t mind the dark. Some species like a little bit of sun though

[@vinvu9978]

@@WildFoodUK1 thank you I just thought there may be a big difference 🤣

[@storytellerChefLoretta]

I always wonder if Termitomyces should be picked from roots or snap at surface. Their roots can be so deep rooted. Most of their stems are buried. I am aware Termitomyces is not found in UK or even Europe but I am so keen to taste them...

[@jasongreen6447]

Can you eat it raw Like put it in a blender with other fruits and veg's😊 Great video by the way 😊

[@WildFoodUK1]

No, I’d cook all wild mushrooms before eating.

[@karara5532]

Something about the picking vs cutting, pretty sure it's not advised to pull cauliflower fungus (and maybe certain others), and instead is better to cut it?

[@WildFoodUK1]

Good point. With the cauliflower yes cutting bits off is the best way, leave the rest to grow and go back a couple of days later to cut some more ;)

[@owpkelly4]

Marlow, how did you cook the Lurid Bolete in the end 😅?

[@WildFoodUK1]

I dried it in the end for use later.

[@baggyobeast]

Hi, I know you offer courses but what books would you recommend. I have been interested for about 2 years but I'm still not sure enough to actually eat any. Love your content

[@baggyobeast]

Then we got to you talking about books 😂. Thanks for reading my mind

[@karara5532]

How would you say beginner/intermediate/advanced/expert foragers are different? I've always been a bit unsure how to classify myself

[@WildFoodUK1]

I suppose it’s down to the number of species you can confidently id using the finer details rather than just rules and distinctive species. The blusher then the miller are probably 2 of the milestones. Blushers have more lookalikes than people think and the miller has many extremely toxic/deadly lookalikes.

[@soton5teve]

Can't find a lot of proper identification videos on psilocybe cyanescens, or psilocybe semilanceata. Also 1 "occurrence" of cubensis in England.

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

They are class a drug in the uk, that is why.

[@Solarserpent0]

There is liberty cap identification in Wild food uk book but you wont find Cyanescens in there as there techically not native an you need to find areas that typically imported American hard woods. There is no native Cubensis species in the UK

[@karstent8138]

Thank you Marlow. Painful to hear you dispense with the word "fungi" (even "funguses" would be something), but a great video, really interesting, really clear and helpful 😁
