Mushroom foraging in UK | October vlog 2

Set to 4k!! A second mushroom vlog I filmed this weekend just gone (5th October). The autumn season has been quite slow starting down in the south but it’s picking up now. Sorry some of the audio was bad quality/bit noisy in this, will use my microphone next time! Fungi in the video are: Winter chanterelle (Craterellus), Sulphur tuft (Hypholoma), Stinkhorn (Phallus), Yellowdrop milkcap (Lactarius), Amethyst deceiver (Laccaria), Hedgehog (Hydnum), Beefsteak fungus (Fistulina), Puffball (Lycoperdon), Liberty caps (Psilocybe), Candlesnuff (Xylaria), Birch polypore (Fomitopsis), Chanterelle (Cantharellus), Fly agaric (Amanita). This is just a guide. I am not an expert mycologist but have been mushroom foraging for 4 years and I do spend a lot of time researching and cross checking my sources. Please do your own research if you want to forage and consume wild fungi & plants. I recommend joining some forays to learn from the experts first hand!

[@johnnerney8021]

Really enjoyed watching this video. You’re funny and the most beautiful forager I’ve ever seen 🤣 keep em coming

[@Florafunga]

Good 🫶🏼 & lol thanks 😆

[@WildwoodTV]

Lovely video and some good finds, I can never find Edulis locally - they're always mushy. Foraging is getting very popular - best look early mornings (a Gypsy told me 4am!) Interesting about A Muscaria, several folk I know benefit from micro-dosing. Happy hunting! 😊👍🍄

I wish I could find libs that big, the ones on my local cricket pitch are tiny. Nice content, thanks for the info.

[@johnwhiteshooting9300]

Great vid, well done 👍😁

[@flowercoal7382]

You know, I'd rather have liberty caps than porcini's.. find them all the time and have never found a liberty cap.

[@Florafunga]

Oh damn, well i’m the opposite this year, cant find a decent porcini 😂

[@mattgoodchild8215]

Yep, so I did! 😉

Hey, where are you based? I've got a killer Winter Chanterelle spot down in Cornwall that I'm expecting to go off shortly and I know these things move North to South. Soon as I saw those pinners I started to panic that they'd be coming in early and I'd miss the biggest flush!

[@chilbertuk1960]

great content thank you ! subbed in :)

[@zakihayato6014]

Good content, instant sub

[@friedegg-n8p]

Love mushrooms hunting. I'm not good at it though. Been meaning to get out this week in the post rain sunshine.

[@Florafunga]

Perfect time of year to go looking! Get yourself a good book and wildfooduk.com is a great website to use

[@Hacktheplanet_]

Yay, love the mushroom foraging videos

[@Florafunga]

🥰

[@miguel.s7729]

Can you recommend any books to identify muchrooms? I see loads of them and some i recognize but i dont pick it up cuz i cant be 100% sure lol Keep doin videos, you have a good quality

[@Florafunga]

Wildfooduk.com is my go to website & they have a book too.. or river cottage mushrooms is perfect book for beginners

[@Hacktheplanet_]

This is a really cool video, its like being on an alien planet or something. The views will come i think! Keep trying to wake up the algorithm haha

[@Florafunga]

It really does feel like that when you’re crouched down scanning the forest floor, so many amazing organisms to see when you really look!

[@Hacktheplanet_]

@@Florafunga I listened to a great audiobook called entangled life I bet you have read it, really blows the mind to think about this organisms and the amount of time they have been ... Doing whatever they do haha

[@Florafunga]

@@Hacktheplanet_thats a GREAT book 😍

[@Hacktheplanet_]

@@Florafunga yeah I love coming across cool books, there is one I'm listening to now called the immortality key, it's all about the Eleusinian mysteries and it's connection to early Christianity (and psilocybin). I skipped the introduction by Graham Hancock because I don't really like his style but the author of this book is really genuine and industurous in his research.

[@JOHNANDERSON3178]

Hope you went back for them liberty caps 😉

[@Florafunga]

you must of missed the sarcasm in my voice during that part of the video 😆

[@JOHNANDERSON3178]

@@Florafunga glad to hear they didn't go to waste 😵‍💫🤭

[@Cookie-i8u]

Fly agaric 👀

[@deanport8273]

Hi, I was at Rufus stone earlier, all I saw was one clump of sulphur tufts and only know that cos I've watched your video.. Is it sparse due to grazing animals?

[@Florafunga]

Where abouts in Uk is that??

[@deanport8273]

@@Florafunga New forest...Minstead.

[@Florafunga]

@@deanport8273 ooh I know that area, i’d have to look for myself and see what its like.. maybe you didn’t go into the woods enough, I usually go off roading and find more fungi 😁

[@deanport8273]

@Florafunga yeah you're right, I was blagging some time off work so was walking around saturated ground with trainers on like some goon!! I was actually looking for liberty caps but my limited knowledge was telling me I may be too early...

[@ddraiggoch7367]

Hi, I jest got into foraging. Would you know what mushroom would be the best 1 to start with in South wales ?

[@Florafunga]

At this time of year; yellow chanterelles, penny bun/porcini, winter chanterelle and hedgehogs are all very tasty just make sure you read up about them a bit

[@davidstick9207]

It is rare for me to subscribe to a woman mycology lover. I don't want to see skin inserted for clicks. I want knowledge. I will give this a chance. What I found interesting is how thin your forests are. Now I know history...and I shouldn't have been surprised...but I was.
