New Forest, England - Foraging a once plentiful landscape - Hampshire

[@AllanGraham-g5r]

Great video marra, 👍 the first Hedgehog's I found was on the 23rd October in the North West of England pal

Crazy late for the New Forestt, but I still have not found any there this year Pretty much heading to lesser known woodlands with similar attributes.

[@vitanavitas9922]

I noticed this year,trees have been stripped bare of their fruits also. Nothing left for anyone Same with mushrooms it seems This forest looks weirdly bare 😮

[@JaylarkOutdoors]

@vitanavitas9922 I know, it's eerie as hell out there. I had gone 3 separate years and found crops everywhere, each time until now.....

[@dalewalker3942]

Mica cap, and not edible the little brown / orange ones. I’ve not found many mushrooms full stop this year, maybe just a poor year all round.

[@JaylarkOutdoors]

I hope it is an environment issue, though it's mad that even fungi struggles. I had read, however, of so many issues with sweep foragers in the new forest. I only wanted to get enough for mushrooms on sourdough 😄

I swear at 9:50 you find a penny bun XD

[@JaylarkOutdoors]

Like I said, mostly, I am an ass when it comes to 99.9% of fungi, so I have no idea there. You could well be right. I have gone over and had a look at the penny bun online. Great shroom. I'll keep a keen eye out next time.

This mirrors my efforts in N Wales 😂😂😂

[@JaylarkOutdoors]

@beccafirebird Indeed, although in my head, I would expect to find an abundance in North Wales, the perfect landscape.

[@beccafirebird]

@JaylarkOutdoors1 There should be but we also have commercial pickers and I'm a bit pants tbf.

[@JaylarkOutdoors]

I'm only staying in my safe zone ATM, just a beginner myself and know a few very safe shrooms. You can only do your best, and I am sure you do.
