January foraging for greens and mushrooms

[@Barziboy]

Well, I didn't think that "going on a boozy foraging walk with a boar" would ever find it's way onto my bucket list, but here we are.

[@jenduck5520]

I’m so jealous you have a group of friends of likeminded people!

[@PlanetZhooZhoo]

Useful video thanks! It's lovely to see a young child happy to munch on a wild salad leaf without any fuss!

[@thewholecity]

Nice to see some different people sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm. Thanks folks!

[@djwbushcraftbusiness1016]

Love all you do on this channel 🌱🍄🌿☘🍀

[@libmananchannel]

Hello Wild Food in the UK Ltd! Thank you for showing me a nice video! It's amazing! I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Best regards in the future!

[@georgespencer6047]

Wonderful vid! This channel is so underrated.

[@chilwinful]

Brilliant standard of Teaching, thank you for this great look at January foraging. Enjoyed seeing the cinnamon bracket..

[@Happyheart146]

I thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you.

[@ailienrhijnsburger5178]

So much fun. I love the idea of going foraging with a pig. Seems like a lovely one too. The Cinnamon bracket is a good dyers mushroom. I'd be delighted to find some!

[@Vassle]

I bought your book and have now successfully foraged and consumed 2 species of wild mushroom!

[@skubbydankers]

Gwen smashed it!

[@zoeward4555]

Thanks for dyeing info on cinnamon fungus! Just getting into natural dyes :)

[@32bitDK]

This have to be one of the best video i have seen on foraging in the colder months.

[@LFLvideos]

Very wholesome. Really enjoyable videos thank you!

[@maecarpenter6735]

Very fascinating! Thank you!

[@marca5883]

Great work guys💚🇬🇧🌱

[@JheoFaul66709]

Can we have more from the wild food UK pig please. Luvly pig. Can it sniff out those mushrooms?

[@joshuachristian2237]

Great informative video. Especially fun for me to see Attila on here as I've seen him share his incredible expertise on a few mushroom forums on facebook so seeing him on video was fun

[@Richjack3]

The man, the legend! ;D

[@mrmoodfix]

Unboarlievable video, thanks guys!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

You made a right pig's ear of that comment🙈😁!

[@WildFoodUK1]

haha :)

[@steammachine3061]

Hello kerry. I recognise you from the many foraging pages I frequent on facebook. Kerry runs and admins a poisons page that on more than a few occasions has saved lives thanks to its quick response time by all the expert admin and moderators on that page

[@amla2263]

I was going to leave a comment about the dye, but then Attila beat me to it and mentioned it first. :) For anyone looking to try it, you'll need to study natural dyes a bit before you do (e.g. on how to release the pigment and how to bind it to your fibres in a durable way, so that it doesn't wash out or fade in UV light). I stumbled upon one of these lovely polypores completely by accident in the Netherlands last autumn (at Holterberg). It was beautiful, but I didn't have any immediate use for it so we just admired it and left it at that.

[@jamesalanstephensmith7930]

Great variety!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Just love these videos. Thanks x

[@jamesreeve606]

This village has a proper community feel to it, watching is like following Postman Pat to work or something

[@hebrewseleven6255]

I am in Virginia in U.S., I find a lot of these herbs even now in January. There is a lot of that hairy Bittercress, plantain, wild garlic.

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

A great team.

[@cherudge]

Hi Rob, we met in your practice a couple of months back and got talking about foraging. How funny, didn’t expect to see you on here. Happy Xmas and New Year to you. Ché

[@standingstonesteve2641]

Great to see you again, nice video, thanks.

[@enyarichards5232]

That naughty porky! They stole my slipper when they was a lot younger... They've changed so much!

[@ozmoses2274]

thankyou so much for making these videos. i found an abundance of the cinammon bracket yesteday and was really curious what it was so thankyou. massive fan sir, keep up the goodwork. i knew quitting school would cause no problem to my education because i found wildfooduk and its all i need haha

[@toffinabof1353]

I went foraging a few days ago and found a bracket fungus on a tree and wondered what it was, looking back at the photos I took I can 99% guarantee I found the cinnamon bracket! I also found some really small and young scarlet elf cups that I will check back on soon enough. Maybe I can observe them as they grow

[@pumpkincrumblepie154]

Great, a new video, look forward to watching it a bit latter

[@pac_0183]

Omg I found sordid blewits about a year ago and Eric helped me ID them

[@amiwan9596]

on a real mission to find winter chanterelles!!

[@nickthegardener.1120]

I found a place where summer black truffles grow near me. Found 20 so far as of last Summer.

[@graemedevine9651]

Loving your videos you've always got some information that you never hear anywhere else, I've been looking into polypores to see if there were any toxic ones just in case and the information I could find didn't say there were any toxic ones, every days a school day my friend, thanks again.

20:50 yep we put our bra on to go to the shop! otherwise foraging like gardening - Charlie Dimmock it! Nice video Marlow & love to piggy! 👍😊🍄Atilla & Fabio on fungi forums too👍

[@cornishxplora]

Thanks for another informative video. Ive been researching ferns lately and was wondering if you'd be kind enough to make a video on them? bracken, deer fer. and so on, regarding fiddle heads and edibility in the uk. , poisonous look alikes ... there's very little in depth videos I can find online. all the best

[@Bumpkin249]

I really enjoy your videos so much, they're always so informative, I particularly liked The new plant additions in this video have learnt loads from watching.. I have one question I notice you was in a grave yard and love that you found the bluett, not sure how to spell it. My question is can you still eat them if found there and should we be careful of picking things in graveyards due to decaying bodies under ground and any potential toxins that could be transmitted to fungi as they grow? Apologies if it's a silly question.

Do the other instructors have youtube channels? Would subscribe to them all if so. Excellent video, loved this one 😊

I've been looking out for Navel Wort for about 6 months now. I've still never seen it. Apparently it is found in the South West. Just not near me I guess!

[@Barziboy]

I'm with you there, Ben. It's given me a nenwfound appreciation for old stone walls though.

[@steammachine3061]

Dont give up. It's incredibly uncommon in the south East where I live. I finally managed to find a small example of it growing off an unassuming wall while I was doing the school run a year back. My daughter now keeps an eye out for it whenever we pass that way. It's still to date the only place iv ever managed to find it though

[@bengriffiths442]

@@Barziboy Haha yes I never pass a stone wall without checking it.

[@steammachine3061]

Quick addition. I was in town with the kids and other half yesterday. And would you believe it. Smack bang in the centre of a busy main town highstreet poking out the Base of a concrete bench. Navel/pennywort lol. That's now officially the 2nd place iv seen some in my town. 3 if you count the stone memorial sitting outside the works shop in the same high Street lol.

I’m here for the nerdy mushroom info and Kerry’s outfit - I’ll be sure to leave the bra off and grab myself some watercress 👍

[@mackintosh7683]

Ok I've made it a rule for myself to not even look in grave yards for mushrooms because it seems wrong and like there could be alot of chemicals in them, but I know they probably grow so well in grave yards 😂 ugh contradicting feelings

[@redblade8160]

Macintosh. Why are you so squeamish to pick mushrooms in graveyards, it's not like you are pinching somebody else's flowers to put on another grave?

[@akosdoboczy]

​@@redblade8160 I assume because plants and mushrooms grow from nutrients partly (mainly?) from human bodies in a graveyard, "somebody else's" relatives earthly remains. For me it seems definitely wrong to get food from a graveyard on this bases.

[@vanderdendur4640]

Idk about seeming "wrong", but indeed I would be a bit worried about modern embalming methods and chemicals seeping into the ground.. 🤔

[@redblade8160]

@@akosdoboczy Everything comes from the ground, the earth is full of nutrients from plants, dead animals and human species over millions/billions of years and this ends up inside your body as well.

[@charlotteredhead6387]

@@akosdoboczy I think it could also be due to the toxic chemicals in the embalming fluid that seep into the earth in graveyards

[@natureisallpowerful]

I've been finding those blewit lately, I thought they were old wood blewit

[@steammachine3061]

They do tend to be quite common in graveyards. I was the same. I recognised them as blewits instantly. But couldn't pin down the specific type. Graveyards are fantastic little oasis for wild edibles. There's one in my town that even has a bumper crop of asparagus come up each spring

[@natureisallpowerful]

@@steammachine3061 wow asparagus thats a great find

Lovely video… please tell me the boar isn’t going to be eaten at some point! It looked like a pet so I’m hoping not.

I'm pretty sure he is now a pet :)

Is there an app to help fungi identification?

[@gillywild]

So does Brooklime not harbour liver fluke too then?

[@philleng480]

Yes, as Marlow said cook all plants that are or could have been in the water.

[@riffhurricane]

Anything that's in a field with, or downstream from fields with ruminants have the possibility of harbouring liver fluke.

[@WildFoodUK1]

It lives where we were foraging :)

[@fiveleavesleft6521]

Marlow must be a shoegazer with that hairstyle.

[@WildFoodUK1]

I have to ask,, what is a shoegazer? obviously someone with a terrible hairdo but can you be more specific? :)

[@fiveleavesleft6521]

@@WildFoodUK1 A genre of alternative music from the Nineties which had floppy fringes and used a lot of effects pedals. The live experience was a row of floppy fringes looking down at their pedal boards- hence the nickname. Bands like My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Ride, Lush, Swervedriver, the Telescopes, Chapterhouse etc. It's become a cool genre again in recent years and there are loads of "Nugaze" bands around. Thinking about it, mushrooming is an appropriate hobby for a Shoegazer!

[@steammachine3061]

Crack is incredibly common. No self respecting forager would touch it. We all carry an emergency stash of amphetamine though for those occasions when we're in the zone and need the energy to continue foraging
