How to Forage for Mushrooms - Wild Food Identification - Chanterelle and other species - Q&A

[@mrw9513]

Great vlog buddy, gotta say you can't beat a wild mushroom risotto, or a steak with a creamy mushroom and wholegrain mustard sauce.

[@SMASHFISHING]

This was very informative and educational mate cracking video 👍🔥

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Cheers bro. Do you get any of these mushrooms on the islands?

[@SMASHFISHING]

@@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS yes we do , some of them iv seen before near the ponds mate we get huge puff balls in the fields an there delicious!

[@Saffirance]

Chanterelles cooked in butter added to fettuccine alfredo. So good. When I was a kid I hated mushrooms for the texture but when I tried chanterelles it changed my thoughts on all mushrooms. I eat all kinds now. It matters how you cook them. Loved your video. I never knew about winter chanterelles but have seen them and couldn't identify them until I saw your video. Thanks for this video.

[@peterfardell1564]

I really found this extremely interesting Dustin brilliant video I first started looking for wild mushrooms and fun guy after watching Alfie aesthetic’s now there is a knowledgeable chap

[@farbstoff84]

Really nice videos with Lee on mushrooms and such a beautiful private woodland! Such places are really rare nowadays. Would love to see more of those. I'm from Germany and been picking wild edible mushrooms for quite a while too. To the topic of cutting or "ripping" them out, the Swiss or the Austrians actually did a study, which confirmed that it really doesn't matter and makes no difference. Important is to cover up the holes again so the mycelium won't dry out or will get contaminated.

[@toadstoolze]

When I realised the medicinel benefits that wild mushrooms have i just put up with the texture and chow down... more of Lee and foraging please. Liked and subscribed 👍

[@vanlesweden]

It’s so interesting to go to the forest and foraging for mushrooms and so nice to find some golden and winter chanterelles. They’re also very popular mushrooms in Sweden and I’ve found them so much too. Thanks for nice video.

[@riuphane]

I used to dislike mushrooms, partially for the flavor, partly for the texture. Then I discovered that if they are cooked correctly, they are amazing and go well with so many things and now I love them quite a bit. That being said, I live in the Colorado, US and usually eat white or portobello from the store, with the occasional other varieties when I have the money or the right dish...don't know how much of an impact that has, but I bet it makes at least a little difference...

[@AshOutdoorsUK]

Good informative video mate! Your friend sure knows his stuff. Hope all is well mate Ash 🏕

[@paganoutdoors3193]

Great informative video, I absolutely love mushrooms, cant wait for the nxt video, cheers Craig

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks for watching

[@suemiles3960]

Oh my! Never seen purple shroom. Chanterelles so prolific in Oregon. Very good info thank you

[@CliffLewis28]

i absolutely love mushrooms, Justin, but among my mates, I am very much in a minority. I , greatly, appreciate this lesson on foraging. Cheers mate.

[@troybranaman316]

I am loving the all the foraging videos!!! I eat wooded mushrooms!!

[@ArielleViking]

Wonderful mushroom foraging and great information. 👍❤

[@idagotdinixa442]

That was very interesting 👌🔝 we can learn so much from you guys 👏👏 I really love to watch this video 👍😊

[@mariafongoul]

Hi Dustin, I absolutely love that basket!! I am a bit of a basket case. You should see my basket collection. I don’t have a basket like that. Oh yes I do love the mushrooms but the video took a whole new meaning when I saw the basket..

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Haha. Basket case! It's actually a trug....traditionally made in Suxxex.

[@CliftonChilliClub]

If you go down in the woods today You're sure of a big surprise If you go down in the woods today You'd better go in disguise! For every mushroom that ever there was Will gather there for certain Because today's the day that Dustin & Lee have their forage Forage time for Dustin & Lee The little Foragers are having A lovely time today Watch them, catch them Chanterelle's And see them picnic on their forage See them gaily gad about They love to forage and hunt They never have any cares At six o'clock their feet and legs Will take them home to bed Because they're tired little Foragers Every Forager who's been good Is sure of a treat today There's lots of marvelous things to eat And wonderful Chanterelle's to eat Beneath the trees where nobody sees They'll hide and seek… Hope you enjoyed? Great video and packed out with lots of useful information etc. Cheers Dustin and Lee

[@riuphane]

This was a lovely take on the classic teddy bear's picnic and I love it!

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Hahaha cheers Dave the poet

[@FindInNature]

I find a lot of different species, but unfortunately not Chantarelles. Even in beech and oak forests I don't find them. Maybe the trees are too young. I have only found them under an old oak, only a few of them. Laccaria amethystina I do find a lot, thousands in beech woods. I also find hundreds of Scarletina Boletes, on beech, on pines, on firs... Nice to hear what is said about the different species, about how to preserve, cook, etc. 👍

[@purpuradraco3747]

Picking in such as Hampshire and Dorset is a bit earlier. If you;re north of Watford Gap, give it another week or three. Look for a few more types, such as what we call "Bluies" (did I spell that right) in Derbyshire that are out about now, very nice though mushroom picking here is something Hobbits in the Shire might envy so good luck. That said, some bloke in the pub might even be your best bet and I almost guarantee, that same bloke probably has a trout or even some venison you can buy cheap too. But then I can't walk far myself, maybe I'm just slow, October is like a race here, where first come best served though I have found people round here are not greedy, even when they got ready set and went.

[@FreezyAbitKT7A]

My favorite spore is yeast. In particular... Saccharomyces cerevisiae

[@LuisFCorreia]

wild mushrooms bring back memories do picking them up with my dad. never learned how to pick good and bad ones, here in Portugal

[@martinfoy5167]

Great video Dustin , I find grilled mushrooms have a better texture than pan cooked mushrooms , which do have a sluggish texture 🍄🐌 👌

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Great vid. Thanks, Justin and Lee. 👍🙂🍄

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Thanks for watching

[@gabeslife1966]

I need to find someone in my area that has the skills to teach me this. I would love to go mushroom hunting and another skill is always nice to have.

[@deehox7167]

I love mushrooms. The texture never bothered me. Of course I was raised on okra, need I say more?

[@brad-marc26]

Pukka🤘🏽Been waiting for you to do a video like this. Still waiting for a tree I.d video too🤪. keep up the good work dude.

[@chiangliya]

More mushroom foraging videos please :)

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Coming soon 😀

[@greenecrayon]

I love mushrooms. This whole video has made me hungry

[@kingrafa3938]

Better late than never. Congrats on your 41K subs Dustin. 👍🇵🇭

[@Amodia]

12:00 Sounds great! I'm really enjoying these videos.

[@ChaoItsNancy]

I went chanterelle picking last weekend in BC and all of the chanterelles were frozen. Looks like the weather is still warm where you guys are!

[@AlphaBravoDingo]

I am with you. never been a fan of mushrooms, texturally.

[@Nan0saur]

Great video! A few more identification tips wouldn't have gone amiss mate, wouldn't want novices picking False Chanterelles, Satan's Boletes and Lilac fibrecaps ☠️ Can never be too careful! Keep it up though, not enough good woodland foraging and mushroom videos out there at the moment - this is a step in the right direction 😄

[@purpuradraco3747]

Mushrooms and chestnuts are 2 miles apart near me and after 6lbs of chestnuts the mushroom patch had, and I counted them as we slowly drove past, 25 cars. Sadly, we do not have both but fried chestnut, onion, bacon an apple did taste real good.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Wow, that sounds tasty. I managed to gather about 4lbs of walnuts this year....saving them for Christmas though 😀

[@aabbushcraft]

Nice informative video👍 Thankyou

[@freddyoutdoors]

I love mushrooms and we'll done picking lads

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I have read scientific papers that say mushrooms are the fruit of a much larger organism than appears on the surface. So...take the fruit and sever the top roots but the host organism lives on 'undaunted.' My first wild mushroom memory comes from hiking a trail in the White Mountains of Vermont and meeting a French hiker who had collected local golden chanterelles. He was very familiar with them from France and shared some with us. With his help, we gained the confidence to take a few we found on later hikes. I LIE!...our family harvested a type of mushroom called a 'puffball' in Central Upstate New York. They came up in whatever size they chose and were generally spherical and mounted on a short stem. My mother sliced and dipped them in beaten egg and then soda cracker crumb and fried them in butter. Epicurean! Later in life, I have done the same, whenever I could find them!

[@leemurf337]

Great video, is there any chance of a accurate identification video ,its off putting foraging for mushrooms because you hear that every edible one has a piosionous look alike it would be good to see comparisons so people can confidently identify edible ones .

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Great suggestion

[@peterfardell1564]

Dustin would you believe I’ve never ever tasted chanterelle mushrooms we’ve just been up the downs looking for them I still can’t find them LOL in the woods open Cissbury ring in West Sussex

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

Good luck... you'll find them one day

[@Nots88]

In Ukraine we call chantarelle "lysychka" which in English is fox cub, I assume for yellow colour

[@JakeLHyde]

The washing mushrooms thing, I can't remember where i saw it, but chefs ran a side by side, with mushrooms brushed clean and mushrooms soaked and washed clean, and there wasn't any difference in the cooked product. Do what makes you happy of course, but mushrooms are dirty lmao so I will continue washing them. Edit: love a mushroom cooked. Not raw. Lol

[@garyorlowski4877]

next time you 2 are out see if you can find a wild Sheppard's pie :)

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

I'll keep an eye out for one

[@ollepearce3116]

Nice in the woods near me we have a tone of those mushrooms im not very good with mushrooms to me they are just mushrooms

Ye they are chanterelle

Excellent I have just subscribed, however, far too many adds coming up fella, time to get out of the 5D matrix there brother.

My Daughter will not eat mushrooms. I had the same feelings for them when I was a young child but I got overit by eating omelettes with mushrooms in. I always think as we get older our tatstes change......maybe yours will Dustin?

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

I don't think I'll ever get over it

[@BraxxJuventa]

I'm not a mushroom eater, but if they are in a recipe, I don't mind. 👍😁

they look different than those here in New England

[@musingwithreba9667]

mmmm...mushrooms 😋

[@Out_GalliVANtin]

The texture is definitely not the best, but it’s something I could tolerate in an emergency situation. I did rather enjoy the video, though!

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

There's something about the texture that puts me off!

awsome video again dustin cheers for this shroom info . i hope to give this a go after this covid has gone .. so as they say... this time next year ''rodders'' will download all four shroom vids and take a walk in my local woods see if i can positively identify before i try .. stay safe take care and be HAPPY DUDE DONT FORGET TO LIKE SHARE SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THE NOTIFICATION BELL FOLKS ...NEVER MISS ANOTHER VIDEO

[@teresabaston4503]

May I make a suggestion? Moving the camera about too swiftly messes with the eyes - no focus and uncomfortable. Could you focus more time (say, 10 seconds +) and a zoom-in to whatever object you want to highlight, then backing away for a broader view. You have so many talents which I admire and appreciate. Wishing you the best.

[@BUSHCRAFTTOOLS]

I need to get myself a gimbal for these videos. Thanks for the suggestion 😀
