Very beautiful mushrooms, I also like picking mushrooms

[@lordnarayana6888]

Thanks. Also the webbing at the top of the stipe on porcini is white and on bitter bolete it’s dark.

[@shortfilmprogrammer]

I stumbled upon this video after hearing about a "Penny Bun" referenced in a Latvian movie called "The Sign Painter". As I was researching what that was, my Google search led me to your delightful video. And now I'm a fan of your whole Wild Food channel.

[@hicnar]

In Poland we call them Borowik Szlachetny, and I totally understand you referring to the location as "undisclosed" :D

[@Davi.Abraham.Millman]

Cool

[@cjzagorski69420]

Tak

Hahahaha sto procent🤣🤣

[@Diddldance]

thank you, Bilbo :) The forageing tour was GREAT :)

[@WildFoodUK1]

+La Bohemienne Surely I was Frodo! great to have you along :)

[@joebonesjones1]

Wonderful specimen! I have had the best year ever for the Penny Bun, I don't know how it was across the uk, but here there was an early Autumn flush of Botlets, and each trip I came back with three or four. None quite so large as that though. I recently paid 5 euros for a single shroom on a French market, truly a prized mushroom. ..(all the same , i still prefer the shaggy parasol) Thanks for the wonderful videos and information, I have recently stumbled upon these and have topped up so much precious knowledge. I haven't finished them all yet, but in case you haven't done a piece on one berry id like to know more on please enlighten me, I struggle to find out much as I do not know the name. It's a little orange fella that grows in clumps all year round, along the branch of much less offensive spikes than a haw or black thorn, but spikes none the less. Its tangy and delicious, almost too sharp. There was a bush in an open part of an underpass and I picked them each day on the way to work. Too fiddly for more than a few. Cheers Joe

[@chemicalrory]

Are even the pores worth eating? On vids of various "lesser" boletes it's suggested you dismiss the pores, haven't noticed any such advice regarding ceps.

[@soaprincee]

Can you do a video that compares similar species of boletes? Or lay out several individuals of the same species side by side, because they vary in color and size and shape and age... I had hard time to identify if what I got was porcini or pine boletes or it's B. reticulatus or... you know.

[@WildFoodUK1]

That's a good suggestion, we will try and do one soon :)

[@Tombombadillo999]

Wild Food UK thank you, i also would find it highly usefull! Cheers!

[@OHT26]

Penny bun mushroom that looks wonderful, has an attractive color, and has a sticky texture when you pick it, and delicious when you cook it.👌🏻😍😉🍄

[@joecrow170]

For you trolls the penny bun fungus has a bacon relative go very well together

[@curlyies]

I've never found a porcini under anything but beech trees, but I always see them online found under pine

[@Tombombadillo999]

J i found them under both.

[@deemiller8348]

Thank you Marlow I've been watching your videos all day and have learned so much. I'm on south east coast, hoo Rochester, living on board a boat , with much woodland surrounding me .i will be heading out tomorrow in search of some delicious entry level mushrooms. Thanks for your time .

[@londonbsing]

I wish I can post pictures here because I just seen 300 of these bastards. I wanna sell em away

[@ashleylydbrook5047]

Great find! Very jealous.

[@heidimisfeldt5685]

❤😊 Awesome. I wonder if these grow in Canada as well.

[@richardmell299]

Do they tend to find the odd one growing or can you find a few together.

[@terry-dd3dp]

In Russia they call it a Borovik. (Pronounced "Boar-oh-viek"

[@amazonia8393]

Has anyone had any luck finding some Ceps in Somerset or Wiltshire, South England? Still on the hunt..

[@ub_ers8472]

I know the video is old but like me some people still get to watch. My question is why people pulling off muschrooms with roots? The mushrooms should be cut at the base with a knife. That way allows new ones grow in the same place next year, otherwise it disturbs root system and diminish harvest next season. Smh🙁

[@frenchyadamson]

Actually this is a misconception, studies have shown that pulling the mushroom out doesn't diminish the 'harvest' the following season. Leaving the stump in will not mean that a mushroom will grow in the exact same place the following year. The stump will rot away and the mycelium will fruit again, not necessarily in the exact same spot. The same happens if you twist and pull the mushroom out.

[@ub_ers8472]

@@frenchyadamson hi Marc. Thats interesting. Do you have some links for this studies? I was also taught about this way and where I lived we had lots of mushrooms around. Sadly not any more where I live now.

[@frenchyadamson]

@@ub_ers8472 Hi Urszula, the study is here: www.conservationevidence.com/individual-study/230#:~:text=Plucking%20mushrooms%20entailed%20removing%20the,avoiding%20damage%20to%20the%20mycelium.

[@frenchyadamson]

@@ub_ers8472 It's possible that other factors are affecting the yield of mushrooms.. Such as environment degredation, acid rain etc..

[@ub_ers8472]

@@frenchyadamson thanks. Ill look through it.

[@Cooliepops]

For us international audience, I have no idea what a penny bun is. Also chew and spit test is better advice as opposed to swallowing which I believe you did. You never know what you have as an amateur. Otherwise great find and thanks for video!

[@ArialAElise]

that is a penny bun : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boletus_edulis

[@MikeM-py2hq]

wow, still pronouncing the www at the beginning of an url. What year is it? lol.

[@jonathanh4120]

I've just found one that is quite yellow on the sponge and gently browned on the stalk. It is about 5 times the size of that one. It looks amazing. I've sent pics to a shroom ID group just in case I got the ID wrong.

[@GriotDNB]

I picked a bunch today. And tomorrow too. Love these so much.

[@jo0ls]

Found one in Shirley hills, croydon.

[@oliviaj9037]

Wooow, I foraged a penny bun the other day but threw it since it got a bit yellow and forgot to ID it. Now I know better!!

[@tomekville]

thnx my favorite soup is from king bolete

[@deemiller8348]

Thankyou Marlow , I've b

[@kingneddy]

What time of year is this video? I was out today looking and couldn't find anything I know as edible. I was looking for penny bun,chanterelle,oyster, chicken of the forest. october 16th UK.

[@Tombombadillo999]

GREAT CHANNEL! If only i would have found it at the beginning of mushroom season (i live in sweden) , as when i went in the woods i found plenty of bolete family mushrooms. Im sure about one coz it looks exaclty the same , the sponge was white, and had quite a firm texture. I found plenty of other of the bolete family (as they looked almost exactly the same) but the only difference was that they were quite soggy (maybe coz old or excessive rain) and they had quite a sharp yellow/greenish hue in the gills area, had also a darker stem color, almost reddish , and had less of a dome shape. Any guesses? so i guess im training for next season. Keep up the awesome channel guys!

[@TheMoodybiker]

I'm off tomorrow to find some!

[@cobia1794]

Thanks, one of the better shows I have watched Identifying those tasty morsels.. I know I have seen many over the years and just let them lie.. din't know...

[@multimediastudio777]

J adore! C est trop bon!

[@Natluv9]

I love picking mushrom could you tell me where in London I can do it without troubles thanks

[@krissm2942]

... he say £50 a kilo???

[@ValterZzzz]

Yeah i think that is a bit too much..he might mistaken something....here in croatia its a bout 5 euros kilo.

[@vodkawhisperer3923]

in poland we just go find them, they are very common in the holidays and grow as groups of 1-3. they are my favourite, apart from the red pine mushroom, which is a delicacy in europe

[@sauliussh]

Dried 😏

[@MaxSafeheaD]

Thanks for the info but the camerawork was pretty ropey - too over-exposed and out of focus to make out anything of the detail.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Sorry, this was a while ago. We're getting a bit better at the camera and sound work so I'll redo it this year..

[@MaxSafeheaD]

@@WildFoodUK1 great - I'm loving your videos and your website, I bought your book too =D

[@long-shotlouie]

You didn't take it out by the root? I read that you should cut an inch or so above the ground or it won't be able to grow back

[@MalinaImport]

that's incorrect. it's fine to take the mushroom out fully. it's just the fruiting body, the mycelium is alive and well underground.
