My journey discovering the magic of mushrooms 🍄

Autumn tradition (southern Sweden): chanterelles fried in butter, on toast, with a pinch of salt and white pepper.

Hi 👋, Dani , again, I have a lot of mushrooms in my area. Most of the area is kept secret by the French neighbours, it might be worth you, trying a mushroom omelette, very very delicious, Over the last week I have been removing trees from the river, that runs a long my property, I have come across a very overgrown area at the bottom of my garden, Where my canal that used to feed the mill back in the 30s joins the river. This is no longer used as the river as a dropped dramatically., the overgrowth is probably 6 to 7 feet high. I was trying to cut through it., then bent down to pick up some logs that I just cut, so I can move forward, I then noticed there was a tunnel that has been created through the undergrowth, it is as somebody has gone in there with a pair shears, and cut a perfect arch out, I believe it could be all the wild boar or badgers that come through to the River, I just wish that I had some spare money. I’ll buy myself a trial camera and set it up. I think it could be very interesting to see what comes through., I have definitely had wild boar 🐗 through my garden, I look 👀 forward to your help territorial, Phil from the moulin

Me and my family love picking chanterelle mushrooms here in Sweden. It brings excitement to my 9-year-old son. Each Sunday we head into the forest and find chanterelle mushrooms to add for dinner later that day. At times we find so many we share with our retired Neighbors. Just a peaceful moment in the forest this time of the year. Love all your videos Dani

[@Janine6564]

I love how you have become more relaxed talking to the camera. You have a great sense of humor. The mushroom dish looks delicious. My brother lives in Sweden and he's a mushroom fan as well. We don't really care how much wildlife you give us, we enjoy anything you do.

Tips for mushroom foraging, clean the mushrooms while picking them, that makes it so much easier. Never rinse mushrooms with water. Easiest way to preserve them is to put them in pan on low/medium heat until the water they release is gone and then freeze them. Also worth mentioning is that the red mushroom with white dots is NOT for consumption ;)

[@xrysf03]

:-) yeah... where I live, generally the gilled mushrooms are considered suspicious, except for a few known species that you need to be able to identify *with certainty* if you want to pick them (I know the Agaricus and the Lactarius deterrimus). Those with pores on the underside of the cap are generally edible, with a few exceptions. Such as, I believe I spotted a brief shot of a Leccinum scabrum (edible) but could also be a lean specimen of Tylopilus felleus - extremely bitter tasting :-) otherwise harmless = no chance of getting poisoned. And, those small and slender gilled shrooms... do Psilocybes look like that? :-) I really have no clue...

[@andrewburns4343]

Thank you. Timely reminder, happy foraging!

[@ginnicolee2502]

Oh my, Dani... that cake looked just so delicious! My favourite combination ❤😋 great content as always thanks Dani

[@martinsv9183]

Eat the blueberries raw. With milk. And some sugar if you want. What you cant eat can be frozen and then used in cakes later. It doesnt matter as much that they have been frozen when used in cakes.

[@c.alcazar2584]

You are in such beautiful place, enjoy it ....❤❤

[@anton4video]

Chanterelles are good for drying and then blending to get a powder that can be used as a flavoring agent.

[@bodanerius]

Chantarells! Fry them in butter with salt and pepper and put them on toast. Maybe a slice of Västerbotten cheese on the toast Heavenly ❤❤❤

[@goranekstrom708]

Funnel chanterelle is superb to fry in butter with salt and pepper and eat directly with a slice of toast, I find yellow chanterelle more suitable for cooking since it has a "harsher" taste.

[@Osmone_Everony]

0:37 I love scientific notebooks. 🥰Not only are they a special kind of artwork but also a great way to conserve memories. In, lets's say 40 years from now, you will find this and remember how it once was like to be young - if we still exist.

Fry chantarelles in the pan with butter and salt. The put them on toast.😋

[@dennislindqvist8443]

I remember my grandmother who was almost blind towards the end, often going alone to the forest to pick mushrooms. She compensated for her poor eyesight with her sense of smell and taste. And we never actually got poisoned!

[@antonboludo8886]

That is right.

[@sorellman]

Indeed, you can tell the good ones from the bad ones by how they smell.

Correct. When people go to pick truffles they usually use a pig or dog to sniff them out.@@sorellman

Yet another great video, showing the great nature of Sweden.

[@Animal_Watching]

Very beautiful places and nature, and mushrooms in general are super 👍 We are waiting for the next videos 😊

[@marsupialdungbucket]

I discovered blueberry and lemon cake earlier this year after being addicted to blueberries for about a decade. The recipe I use is a simple lemon sponge baked over a thick layer of blueberries, lemon juice and a bit of sugar, rather than mixing them all together. 'Best blueberry-lemon upside-down cake' on delish if you fancy trying something a little different. I suspect they'll taste a bit different as the two flavours are very separate in the upside-down one. Hugely envious of your mushrooms. The only successful foraging we're doing this year is while clearing our new back garden that was left untouched for at least 5 years and is now a wall of brambles 10m wide, 2m high and about 20 deep. Strip all the berries off a runner/tendril/branch(?), cut the runner off as far down as you can reach, add it to the compost and repeat until the basket is full of berries. Hard work but rewarding!

[@Kelydra]

I love Videos like this. To see this beautiful Nature. It is like beeing back in Sweden and strolling through the fairytale like forests. So for me it must not allways be a wildlife video, i love them all❤

[@BerishStarr]

Thank you for the beautiful "post card" from my home country ❤🤙

[@ThunderboltDragon]

This is Sweden Dani, just like there will be a setback before the spring arrives for real, there will (almost) always be 1-2 weeks in September with summer weather.

[@oskarsrode2167]

Swedes often pick and eat only a few mushrooms like chanterelles and boletus, but there are also good species such as the red capped leccinum (aspsopp), which grow in abundance and can be quite big. They form a symbyosis with leaf trees such as aspen and birch.

[@antonboludo8886]

That is correct.

[@TheBioniXman]

Lightly fry the chanterelles without garlic and very little onion as their delicate flavour does not get overwhelmed that way. They are really good with beef or duck. Another great mushroom to find is called "trompet de la mort" here in France, they are black and you need to look down for them. They can be dried and sliced and enhance any other mushroom dish. The red squirrels don't seem to eat mushrooms but the wild boar certainly do.

[@MjArmstrong35]

Life update, I never got a piece of that cake 😅

[@go-healthy8132]

Dani, your videos are so wonderful. I love all the nature content, but also your normal life in Sweden. Thanks a lot ❤

[@pigrinse]

you seem to have found a good community and good people around you!

[@bonilsson3161]

You are perfectly right about learning from someone that already know (and really know!). to learn about the boletus related mushrooms in sweden is pretty safe, just take one or two at time, make it slow and check careful, then confirm with someone who knows. The ones with the spungy pores on the underside of the cap are kind of safe, there are some that taste avful (gallsopp, Tylopilus felleus for example) but none are really poisonus. Any way, keep safe and go out as much as you can.

[@HansStrijker]

Completely forgot to buy the calendar last year, so have hung one of a takeaway restaurant on the wall. Not going to have that happen this year, so the order is done! 😁

Love me some mushrooms, especially the yellow chanterelles. This year is supposed to be a great mushroom year, my mother had found a shitload of them last week. You can use them in many ways, pies, stews etc... or just fry them in butter and have on a sandwhich. Cake looked good btw! Greetings from Swe westcoast.

[@frankb3551]

Hi Dani, I love your videos, they are personal and joyful and even show sides of you that most people wouldn't. I love that, it's very real and just you, which is what matters after all. By the way, I thought about your fear of heights, maybe because Juan has this fear you are afraid for him which is how you connect to that, either that or you sense his fear viscerally and so can't tell that it comes from him nd not you. I've not met this too often but with someone I loved very deeply, I could feel what she was feeling in her heart from a long way away (many miles), like longing for example. I felt in the centre of my chest, the location of the "heart", spiritually speaking. This only happens in deep love, it forms a connection that is extremely special and precious. What is the permit about? Is it so you can film of photograph animals? It's very good to see your videos. You are such a lucky person that you know what you love and can actually do it as a form of life too.

[@Anders_Eriksson]

Hi Dani. I've been watching Your videos on and off since the one where You met with the orphaned squirrels. I watch a lot of metal music videos and they get me all fired up but watching Your videos have a calming effect on me that I love. Just sit down and relax. I think it's something about Your voice and the lovely praise over the wonders of nature. It's nice to have a break from the distracting noise that surrounds us. Mobile phones, biased news media etc etc.. I have a question just to satisfy my curiosity: Have You learnt any Swedish at this point. It's always nice to hear non Swedish people speak our native tounge. I know it's not a nescesity since most of us understand and speak English at least on a level so that is possible to have a conversation. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to Your next video.

[@mothmagic1]

Yes Dani the amount of rain id the reason for the abundance of fruit. We've had a lot in UK this year too. My apple tree is heavy with fruit this year whereas last year we had hardly any. There are a lot more rose hips, hawthorn berries and blackberries this year too.

[@NYWildflower]

I'll be ordering my calendar and baby squirrel cards closer to Christmas so I hope they'll be available then! It's incredible how many mushroom varieties you can find in the forest and I love your idea of drawing them in a notebook for identification while foraging!

D you want a mushroom book? I have at least one book in english in two copies. I give you the title soon, cant remember. I have many swedish books in double (or even triple) copies but I think its only one in english. My dad used to do workshops in mushrom picking and was interested since his youth so I grew up with that constant foraging from very early summer, morels, and then all through the fall. He passed away 2 years ago, I kept his books and already had quite some before.

[@alekanzify]

Thanks @nischa great video and valuable info. I'm from South Africa, and we have an option here called balloon payment. It basically means that you can finance an more expensive vehicle, but only pay installments on the total price less the balloon value. At the end, say after 3 to 7 years, you have to pay the balloon value, as a onetime lumpsum. Interest are calculated on the full value, but capital is on the loan amoount. From what I understand.

Your caring for Roo was fascinating, endearing, beautifully told and beautifully captured, which is why I subscribed. I used to pick chanterelles as a child with my family on our farm in Prince Edward Island. I’ve been missing many aspects of our country lifestyle for years now; I’ve been living in Toronto since 1997, and often wonder if, where and how I could live in the country again.

[@skakdosmer]

Mushrooms are a kind of wildlife, aren't they? Getting advice from experienced people is indeed a great way of learning. But I couldn't be bothered. Instead I got a number of good books, and my philosophy is simple: If I'm 99% sure of the identification, I don't eat it! I need to be 100% certain. I'll never forget the day I found a very young and fresh 1550 g (well over three pounds) Boletus Edulis - the King of edible mushrooms. (If I give Chanterelles 3 stars, the Boletus Edulis gets 5). It's also known as the Karl Johan, because a Swedish king of that name was so fond of them that he attempted to grow them in his garden. What he didn't know was that the boletes are completely dependent on trees with which they form a symbiosis, so no trees, no boletes. (And no Amanitas, by the way). I found my giant on the first of August 1995, but unfortunately I didn't own a camera at the time. So all I could do was to measure it (20 cm tall, the diameter of the cap varied between 27 and 33 cm, and the stem was 9 cm thick) and then slice it up, freeze it and by and by eat it. (The taste was absolutely divine!)
