♥️🧚‍♀️🍄 ...... beautiful, I'm enjoying viewing the English countryside. I didn't get a chance to wander through the countryside as I left England when I was around 2 years old, and I'm now living in Australia. Loving taking photos of fungi and eating them as well. Enjoy your journeys. 🏡

[@simoncooke135]

Please could you do a video at some point on how you prepare your foraged goods for eating like the drying other processes

[@simoncooke135]

Amazing video as always btw 🙌

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yes I’m planning on doing more cooking videos next year after this series. I’ll be backpacking around the UK most of the year so will be doing a lot of wild cooking videos 😊

[@patrickrose1221]

Do you find many of my favourite, blue button or wood blewit ? If so , could you tell me where , I promise not to tell anyone else , " Guaranteed " ! Lol : ) Love the vlogs pal !

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. I get a lot of wood blewits in woodlands around Newport, South Wales

@@UKWILDCRAFTS I lived in Blaenafon for thirty years and was too busy digging coal & singing in the choir lol . Where I come from in Notts they're prized above all others . Your channel - " Bendigedig But " : )

[@entertherealmofchaos]

Lovely video. I live next to the New Forest which has banned foraging. It got over-foraged by commercial pickers some years ago.

Thanks 😊

[@victoria-davies]

I started watching this vid and paused at the bay bolete part to go to the woods to find something. Ended up finding my first bay bolete in a woods ive been in so many times. Unfortunately it was too old to take home but it was huge.

[@janegreen9340]

It must be a good mushroom year. I found some meadow mushrooms in the back garden and quite a collection of giant puffballs in the local park - looked like skulls from a distance. I like the detail you show here because it is easy to mis-identify from photos or worse, drawings.

[@TheAzachiel]

Hi, I learned from my parents that mushrooms should be cut at the bottom, if they are ripped, it damages mycelium underneath. However thank you for providing this info, thanks to one of your videos I found out I can eat whole my hedgerow 😀.

[@joechappell368]

Made a risotto with some shaggy inkcaps the other day. Was hoping to get some that were inky to then the risotto black but they were all young. Tasted amazing though. (except the salt grinder opened over the pan and made everything to salty)

[@AstonMartinStig]

Bro your vids are so ASMR. Keep em coming.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

😁

[@natureisallpowerful]

Its really thrown me this year the amount of mushrooms I have seen that I cant id. Thanks mate

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yes we’re never done learning :). There’s around 20,000 species in the uk

[@natureisallpowerful]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS definitely, it looks like a bumper year here in north Yorkshire

[@AlissaSss23]

Wow! Beautiful views beautiful mushrooms and beautifully made video!

[@twenchtowers3894]

Common ink cap is also known as Tippler’s Bane.

[@tardismole]

I'm quite enjoying this (for me) newly discovered series. It brings back memories of foraging as a child with my aunt and cousins. She had the same methodical patience in her descriptions as you have here. Briliant stuff. I'll be subscribing and looking out for part 2, while looking up the previous month's episodes.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

That’s great thank you 😊

[@thiefonthecross7552]

I love your channel so much! Just a thought have you considered having the name of the mushroom on the screen while you talk about them? Will really help the visual learners! Thanks for all your hard work.

[@patrickrose1221]

Good idea : )

[@greatestytcommentator]

Nice

[@bonniemerefield9738]

Such a great video❤ so calming. Thank you.

Thanks 😊

[@Neiltendo.64]

Fantastic video as always. Would’ve liked to have seen the finished meal you were cooking!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

I forgot to film it finished. It smelled too good and got eaten 😆

[@Kermitthebadger]

Great video! I went hunting for mushrooms for the first time and managed to find 5 penny buns :D There were so many mushrooms everywhere, especially the slippery cap boletes, but I only focused on picking the porcini. Delicious, was all gone soon after picking haha!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. Yes porcinis don’t last very long with me

[@ibrstellar1080]

Brilliant video as always and packed with info.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@NatashaAidinyantz]

I found my first porcelain fungus on a Turkey Oak in Emmets Garden Kent a few weeks ago. Read that it can very rarely grow on Oak so felt like a special find. Didn't know they were edible until watching this!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yes it does very occasionally grow on other woods :)

[@joegoddard9661]

Shaggy ink cap can also looks like shaggy parasol which I’ve read is a bit more common to cause stomach upset but they’re a more rounded cap instead of elongated

[@Greebstreebling]

Chanterelle is an easy to identify fungi with false version as a lookalike. It's good to eat and if you look at the gills, the difference between the chanterelle and the false version is obvious. I find and eat chanterelles locally. Apparently the false version is ok to eat as long as you stay away from alcohol. I am not a botanist - always research things carefully for yourself. I stick to Chanterelles and bay Boletes as they are easy to identify.

[@gardenonthemoors]

Love it, you found some great mushrooms there and I loved the drone shots

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@dasja9966]

In the Netherlands the magpie inkcap is named spechtinkzwam (woodpecker inkcap), due to its patern that is similar to the patern on the wings of many woodpeckers. Woodpeckers = Picidae Magpie = Pica pica Now i wonder if C. picacea is named after woodpeckers or magpies.

[@dj0men666]

Be great if you could index the mushrooms in the description or comments 👍

[@Suzitao]

lovely video. Think this is the first time i have seen drone footage in your work..which I enjoyed. Next best thing to being in nature these videos! Thank you.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

[@CampWithMatt]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS Love flying my drone, as a fantastic cinematic quality to your output

[@AndreaDingbatt]

Thank you for this!! Im a life-long forager, but I wasnt too confident about fungi,I think its because we were Always told "Theyre Poisonous!" and not to Touch them!! In Holland they had what looked like huge puff-balls,massive!! My uncle used to fry them in butter and eat them with Smoked Eels, Delicious!! He caught and smoked the Eels himself. The British dont seem to eat Eels, (except the jellied Elvers,,,Yeuck!! Nasty!!) When I used to go fishing,it upset me a lot when other anglers would kill the Eels and Throw them away!! What a waste!! They did snarl up the tackle, but I Cant Stand wasting anything,especially food... Eels are now an Endangered Species, Sadly.... Sorry ,I Do Go On a bit... Again,Thank you for taking the time to make this!!

[@ibrstellar1080]

They won't be wasting anything once the food supply chain has been broken by our rotten corrupt Government's.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yes there is a lot of fear around mushrooms, of course there are deadly poisonous ones so they always need careful identification. But none in uk are poisonous to touch. Also I can proudly say I’ve never eaten jellied eels 😆

[@stephengarrett8076]

Amazing vid , mushrooms have always fascinated me but only read a few books so actually seeing them as you have shown them has made me brave enough to go and forage. Thank you for your knowledge.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@wombatcom]

Amazing video as always, happy hunting!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@graemedevine9651]

Amazing as always, thank you, you should compile your videos onto DVD's, I'm sure they'd be very popular, it's good solid information people want no nonsense, that's what you deliver everytime, you couldn't get a job on the BBC lol.

What’s your opinion on fly agaric? Is it worth the preparation to make it safe to eat.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

I don’t use them much personally. But they have been used as a medicinal mushroom by many cultures. They are a mushroom I will look more into using one day

[@mulan9468]

thanks for sharing. The important question is where to find edible mushrooms? I have been foraging fungi for 3 years, find a few edible varieties, would like to discover more.

[@malibuhiegts]

Woodlands and feilds Every single one

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

It can take a lot of searching and a lot of patience with mushrooms. The main mushroom season is early to mid autumn, after a lot of rain so best to look then. Ancient woodlands are good places to go, and also fields that are used for pasture rather than intensive farming. But each mushroom has its own growing conditions so it’s best to learn for each mushroom you want to find :)

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

I went mushroom hunting yesterday

[@ramthian]

I love it too

[@Radiantglow2]

Love this video

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

Just picked a big a little like a pancake with brown patch in cemtre, about 100mm round in diameter and strong smell. Bit luke mushroom but also bit chemical

I’m from Bristol yeah. I do most of my filming around the area, or in South Wales

[@francicco78]

Hi, I live in Bristol, I was wondering about some nice place to forage mushrooms around here. Do you know any? I'm not from here. Thanks

[@markfoster2947]

fantastic video will definitely be following - as a beginner it would be helpful / useful to know how many mushrooms is it appropriate to take, as many as you find or typically a percentage? and is it the same for all species. Didn't see it mentioned in this video (haven't watched your others yet) and i checked some of the comments too. Great info and video, many thanks

[@slaterdomain]

Brilliant. Next months episode?

[@emmadudney2504]

great video. When can we expect to find hedgehog mushrooms? Got lots of pine forests here in northumberland. Are they common with pine trees? Many thanks

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Now is the best time for them. I’m hoping to include them in the next video. They can be found near pine, I find beech to be best for them

[@emmadudney2504]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS many thanks

[@MrsPandaaaa]

I thought I found some shaggy inkcaps but when it broke it open there was a bright red droplet, does that mean it could be something else?

still havent found a hen of the woods yet

[@jakelewis3902]

When foraging do you consider the honourable harvest?

Hello interesing🤗

[@tonimaria2100]

I have found common ink caps

[@scottwalker6257]

How fast do you think people can read

[@gillywild]

I found a Maitake (hen of the woods) last week. It was tasty but it made my wee smell skunky. Anyone else experienced this??

[@gillywild]

Good grief! There must be bots scanning comments for anything vaguely referring to drugs.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

I’ve not had that myself. Was it maybe an older specimen?

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

And yes those bot accounts pop up faster than I can block them 🤦‍♂️

[@gillywild]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS Hi, it was quite young but a darker variety. I’ll try again if I find another but it was quite off putting. Horrible smell :( I absolutely love what you’ve done with the channel btw. Superb resource.

[@Nathanhiggerz]

Why does alcohol have that affect on common inkcaps?

[@janinemills6732]

Great video. Just subsribed 😊

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@AngryDavidBlackenborough]

Apparently the amethyst deceiver maybe toxic!

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Hi it’s not toxic by itself, but like many mushrooms it can take on heavy metals so shouldn’t be picked from anywhere polluted

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

The bay bolete reminded me a bit like suillus grenulata.

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

How does the laccaria amethyst compare with the cortinarius violacceus?

[@Flippokid]

The Cortinarius is more sturdy, like a button mushroom. Its taste is bitter, and it has a deadly poisonous lookalike. The amethyst deceiver is much more common (at least here). Its flesh falls apart easily, and they're much smaller than the cortinarius. It's easily identifyable, and though not strong tasting is still nice. I like to fry them up in some butter, salt pepper and garlic, and use them as a garnish.

[@TheArtisticGardener777]

@@Flippokid thanks so much!👍

[@spike24-12]

Is that tyndale Monument nibley id ride there on my bike when i was a kid

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yes it is 😊

[@bertieschitz-peas429]

I vomited after eating chicken of the woods tho' i was fine for 3 hours until i started drinking strong ale...

[@Flippokid]

I've had it upset my stomach when I ate it after it got black all over. Didn't vomit, but had a lot of burps and didn't feel quite right. There's a big difference in taste whether they're young and tender or older and dry. I only pick the young and tender ones now.

[@LadyChanterz]

Great video as usual! Im so lucky to have a woodland of shaggy ink caps in my garden! Will be having some tomorrow! 🤍🍄🌾🍂

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. How were the shaggy ink caps?

[@ramthian]

Stir fry with Ostersauce

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yum 😋

[@ramthian]

I like to bbq

[@nadiasawicki4108]

Personally I always fried foraged mushrooms with a piece of white onion. If the onion turned black when frying this is a sure sign the mushrooms are poisonous. So throw away.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Hi this isn’t a safe way of checking a mushroom’s toxicity. It’s one of many myths about mushrooms. The only safe way is to learn each mushroom species individually.

[@woodnugget1301]

Fabulous the woods this time of year are beautiful and the smells are amazing with an abundance of wild edibles 👍
