Foraging for mushrooms- The Trooping Funnel

[@kwacker4km]

Thank you for that great video I’ve just come across around 40 of these in the old wood near a lake in Southampton going back today to pick them can’t wait to try 🍄👍

[@sweetchariotengland]

I've heard the taste described as close to Porcini. I've about to fry up some Fennel as it happens. It's one know but it's still good to have a reference, see if there's any details I may have forgotten

[@MyFamilyGarden]

Nice work I found some of these on Friday but didn't know what they were, I think I'll go back for them

[@SelfSufficientHub]

My Family Garden Thanks- enjoy! If you are in the uk there is an absolute glut of these at the moment

[@Surfergirl637]

Just got into mushroom identifying and enjoyed this video a lot! Thank you for this! Very informative yet personal!

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Thanks for your kind words chicken, I’m new to KZbin so your encouragement is very welcome. Please check out me other mushroom foraging vids

[@lizohare1740]

Thanks very informative. Found some today.

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Awesome- hope you enjoy!

Hi Karl, great video again. Would just pan fry these with a little butter and salt n pepper to get the best out of the mushroom?

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Yep exactly that. I consider them a great ‘breakfast mushroom’. What I mean by that is any meal where the shroom is just on the plate as it’s own thing rather than in a sauce etc. They just hold up to the frying pan so well keeping their lovely texture.

@@SelfSufficientHub great, thanks Karl. Looking forward to the next video 👍👍

Found some Trooping Funnel in Bourne Woods, Lincs. Next to a path so I left them for others to see. But I was brought up with a conservative mushroom foraging habit so I was inherently wary of things not field mushrooms, fairy ring champingons, shaggy ink cap or giant puffball. My dad also liked the russet mushroom I think. I did have a peculiar experience with common ink cap when a friend and I enjoyed some then drank beer: a couple of hours of aggressive quarrelling followed. It was later we realised the cause.

Found some 👍 Mushroom for breakfast tomorrow. Only gonna try a small amount as some people don't agree with them. 🍄

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Great job sir

[@williamnelson2228]

Does the fools funnel also have the 'nipple' feature, or is that a unique identifier of the trooping funnel?

[@MildaGoesWild]

Lovely mushrooms, great description. Surprised you like them dehydrated 😅

[@amberwatkin7584]

So I’ve found some and wanted to air fry them (like cooking in oven) and wondered if you know how long to cook them for/ at what temperature?

[@SelfSufficientHub]

I would treat them the same as regular shop bought mushroom. High heat for five minutes or so. Hope you enjoy

[@jamesf9173]

> What do they smell like when freshly picked and is it a unique smell for identification?

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Hi James. Mildly mushroomy is how I’d describe the smell. The main id is the size look and location

[@MrRupertpickering]

don't waste the stems bro, cut them up thinish and stick them in a stew

[@SelfSufficientHub]

Copy that 👍😊
