How to go Foraging for Wild Plants and Mushrooms

[@michaelkitto758]

Im from tropical Australia, but religiously watch Atomic Shrimp, he is an English gentleman who does a whole array of videos, including foraging and cooking content. This is very reminiscent of that and I love it. Great work as always Alex

[@Thelordsrain]

Thanks for the recommendation im always searching for similar channels, I’m from Perth

[@Smellycat1990]

Glad to find another Atomic Shrimp fan on here. Not suprising really that we'd like these sorts of videos!

[@jamescanjuggle]

absolutely love atomic shrimp, hes a legend

[@stealthangel668]

I love watching Atomic Shrimp too!

[@thany3]

Another Atomic Shrimp fan here! I was half-expecting/hoping Alex to go to Shrimp HQ. I think it would be a great combo.

[@matthewpatterson9184]

Marlow is incredibly knowledgable, lovely of him to invite you out and share some of that knowledge first hand. Thoroughly enjoyed it Alex.

[@Sean_Shaun_Shawn]

Biggest tip I've come to learn with foraging is that the absolute best place to forage is your walk to work or college or to the train station or whatever local route you do year-round; by seeing the plants you walk past all the time change through the seasons you can learn so much about stuff specific to your local area, identify different plants and trees and how they change throughout the year, and all for almost no time or effort investment. Another thing is that a lot of oldschool foragers (especially mushroom guys for some reason) will try to scare you or tell you off for using todays' plant-id apps- take it all with a massive grain of salt. There are dangers to eating from certain families and being careful about identification is wise, and oldschool local foragers can be a great resource, but deaths and injury from foraging are incredibly rare and a sensible approach and a little respect is all you need.

[@MatheusSouza-dp8lw]

What an absolute treat this video was! Nature is amazing! Thank you.

[@prestonk827]

Love this. Learning how to identify plants is probably the most important survival skill there is. So fundamental :) love it!

[@griffinnature]

This is one of the most interesting videos on wild foraging in the uk. Just getting into it with the help of your channel and more content on this would be awesome 🙌

[@saltburner2]

Your cheerfulness, enthusiasm and curiosity are inspiring!

[@Piglife101]

I could watch you two all day, I find your videos so relaxing, and I always learn something!

[@willewiking98]

your channel really has inspired me to learn more about the edible food in the Swedish countryside, love all that you do and tech us. thanks alex

[@markosullivan6444]

Brilliant collaboration! I've been following Marlow's channel for years, he's so knowledgeable.

[@dannywisniewski870]

Thanks alex, thanks for everything. Just videos alone doing stuff i like im from midwest usa. Seeing you foraging over the years, beehive, mushrooming, just getting your own air. I appreciate you doing that and recording it. EHAS

[@mgharvey3657]

Had a shitty day, much better now. Thanks for posting. Alex is that guy you want in your crew when the zombies come!

[@Fishman5280]

Exactly what I was thinking. When it comes down to it, I have no idea what's good to eat and what's not. Very useful skill to have.

[@craigs7896]

This is the first video I have ever watched on foraging! I spend a lot of time outdoors walking my dog, fishing, camping etc but I'm totally clueless when it comes to foraging. This video was great, it's fantastic to see your enthusiasm and Marlow's passion shine through, and his daughter helping to cook was adorable. Would love to see more!

[@bamereg]

Wow, this is great! I used to go foraging for my horses when they were still around. They loved dandelions and thistles and hawthorn. I like hawthorn too, it is one of my favourites and I even grow hawthorn on my balcony. I had no idea you could eat the leaves. Definitely going to try that! You also solved the grass ring mystery xD

[@myleahrydberg2478]

Love these videos Alex. Thank you for another great break from the concrete jungle.

[@fresh_mint_tea8398]

I've learned so much from this channel, keep doing you!

[@Kangaroo-and-Panda]

Alex's videos are so wholesome 😁

[@natureisallpowerful]

Its going to be a good year, i love it when you can read the story nature is telling us. Marlow is brilliant. I learned by just getting out and doing it

[@e7erni7y15]

These videos are just pure happiness. Marlow just adds upto it.. ❤

[@paperbark3754]

I really enjoy your videos, I'm glad that your family is happy to keep you at home so that you have the ability to keep making these interesting vids and I really hope for your success in the youtube community to be able to support you long term!

[@Mr.Voysey]

How did I miss this video! Two of my favourite mushroom creators

[@barbarasimoes9463]

Loved this. It's so helpful to see the plants in their native environs. Thank you for another wonderful video.

[@Kangaroo-and-Panda]

I agree! Seeing the plants in their native habitat definitely helps and makes for great content😄

[@danstone1000]

Alex you legend. Marlow is a great forager. I got so excited when I saw him pop up in your video. This will be a great watch

[@ms.farmgirl]

Alex, you champ.. you've done it again!!! Made one of the most interesting videos on the whole of youTube. I learned more in this video, than I've learned all week. Well done. Now I am going to have to make time to have a look, see what i find in the 2 valleys on the east side and west side of my farm. I know they usually have all kinds of berries, but now I need to see what else I can find in them both. Great family day! Maybe we can find all sorts of edibles, that we can take to the market with us and sell. I am a "Farm to Table Organic Grower, so anything we grow or find, goes to market. [2] Why weren't you gathering all those Dandelions for making Dandelion Wine?? I have a farmer neighbor who demands us to collect all our's for him, to make gallons of Dandelion Wine. [3] Let's take stock in your expertise: 1- A Fisherman; 2- A Chef; 3- A Baker; 4- A Pizzaiolo; 5- A Gardener; 6- A Sprouter 7- A Beekeeper; 8- A Forager; 9- A Camper; 10- A Van Designer/Builder; 11- A Knifesmith; 12- A Skiier; 13- A Surfer; 14- A Hiker; 15- A Painter; 16- A Mycologist; 17- A Traveler; 18- A Videographer/photographer; 19- An Influencer; 20- And a Oompa Loompa!! Did I miss anything in that long list? Thank you again for the most entertaining/Interesting video. It's fantastic!!

[@just_alex]

Hahaha this made me laugh! Thank you 😊

[@rocknroth764]

Carpenter/builder

[@lynnemac1402]

Thanks Alex, that was so interesting, who knew we had so much edible plants and mushrooms in the UK. Marlow definitely knows his stuff.

[@annakonarske6309]

It was a pleasure to watch this. Thanks Alex!

[@lavender.hibiscus]

it feels like i am watching a course on how to become a forager! nice work alex!

[@jamiesauce12]

I have been binge watching your entire category of videos for the last week, glad i could catch a new upload so early!

[@hubbstable]

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Every time I watch you I learn so much you are truely inspiring can't wait for the next video awsome Alex

[@redechelon37]

SO GOOD! I could watch this stuff for days. I'm in NA, so the plants differ a bit, but it's extremely enjoyable to watch.

[@alicewhite8339]

This was my perfect video! I love Marlow have been following his videos for a while now and I loved coming foraging with you both! So inspiring and informative as always Alex :)

[@JackDarbs]

Marlow is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to foraging, I find myself watching his channel very often. I also own his book that was shown in this video and it has helped me second to none when it comes to learning how to identify edible plants when I am out and about. One day I'd love to go on a knowledge walk with him, and you too Alex. Also great video brother 👍

[@emzrking]

New upload! Can't wait to watch when I get home. Looks amazing!

[@soulieobelissevan]

Yayyyy! We made our first mushroom soup yesterday!! Thank you all so so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@judith4361]

[@rawforaging-w9n]

ayyy love a good bit of marlow, would absolutely love to work with him teaching foraging to everyone, this should be a mandatory school topic!! x

[@1337CaptainHadock]

Very interesting video Alex! You really chose the right man for the job Marlow seems like a really great and knowledgeable man! :)

[@andrewbrockman8538]

[@frenchyadamson]

Yes Alex! This is great. I always love your foraging content.

[@abhishekgurjar3273]

Just keep it up because we love your content and we watch your contents so keep it up and nobody will stop you yess i am right

[@coolbeens4207]

I'm a chef and was watching your videos and love them all and I have learnt a lot about mushrooms I have a tip for you for cooking when your cutting something on a chopping board if you put a damp cloth/towel under the board it will not move around while your cutting your ingredients

[@oliverdaley934]

Best Video you've done Alex, Marlow was amazing too! With Thanks

[@Budvb]

Very informative, thanks Marlow for opening us to nature’s grocery store!

[@joankline343]

[@TheKnowlesspot]

When you said you were meeting an expert I though 'I hope it's Marlow!', and lo and behold!

[@southerncaltattooedbiker3643]

This guy knows a lot about mushrooms 🍄 it's very cool I don't known why but yesterday you popped up on my video list keep up your travels and meeting new friends.

[@thesuprememe6748]

[@prophetnotprofit]

Great video, love it, keep on learning, it's a beautiful world!

[@LeksDee]

You said at the beginning that people rather have the comfort of going to a shop and not having to search for their plants, but when you're as knowledgable as Marlow, you just walk down a path for 5 meters and have basically a full meal with a bunch of different flavours at your fingertips

[@jdartistry90]

Whe he pulled out that leatherman my heart melted ❤ my dad gave me one before he passed away and I keep it with me always ❤ highly recommend ❤😢 I never seen anyone with one made me smile ❤

[@LeeShand]

Awesome Alex. Another banger!!!

[@annamason3087]

I can't find a source anywhere for any good psychedelics in my area, I suffer some pretty bad depression and i got a chance to try K and man it was a miracle substance, I felt free,the only high or euphoria was from the relief of my vices being released, that's exactly what it did

[@evelynbecker4916]

Mushroom completely turned my life around and my anxiety and panic attack disappeared and my personality changed into a much more generous loving person

[@sebastianfelipe515]

The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results

[@joachimlunares4871]

doctor_mckenzie ( Alexander) Got psychedelics

[@derickmartens]

I had 3.5 grams dried lemon tek most beautiful experience ever!!
