Blessings Luke! Your videos are salve for my soul. When I was housebound, seeing your forest videos brought me such joy. This video inspired me to get out into my own woodlands, and I returned with a basket of chanterelles and comfrey leaves. Thank you!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Hello, thank you for your kind comment. I'm always glad to hear that my videos help somebody. I hope you are better now, congratulations to your finds.

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

sometimes i don't feel well enough to get out in the forest either and this channel cheers me up and motivates me to get back out there when i have the energy. showed a friend one of my favorite mushroom forests here in seattle yesterday. our mushroom seasons are totally different in this part of the world so i can watch this channel and look forward to bolete season that is still a few months off

[@TheTahoe1982]

Thanks Luke! I really like the video, thanks for sharing it with us

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thank you for watching and leaving this kind comment :)

[@Hellfire4]

Here in the midwest of the US we have had everything pop up a month early. Morels, now chanterelles, boletes and lions mane.

[@LukesMushrooms]

So it's not only Europe. Nice to hear it's similar in the US.

[@joet81]

Good to know that you're getting chanterelles early. I better go check!! Morels were 3 weeks early here in Southern Ontario Canada

[@MossyForestFungi-ll2oq]

Always enjoy your content! Thanks from Finland for the glimpse at mushrooms in Czechia!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thank you for watching and leaving your kind comment :)

[@joet81]

Morels were really early here in Ontario Canada as well. I should get out and check for chanterelle soon I suppose!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Good luck, hopefully you will find some :)

[@Jiye4]

I love your admiration for the mushrooms.

[@LukesMushrooms]

I'm glad you do, thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@karenbergmann209]

Wow, those are huge Boletes! Great finds!

[@LukesMushrooms]

I'm glad you like them. It was a great surprise :)

[@SpaDeKo]

We finally got a bit of rain in Northern Europe after many weeks of sun and heat. So within a week, stuff should be popping up here as well.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Rain is a good news for mushroom hunters, good luck there :)

[@Dr3v0]

I dont know if they started growing where I live yet, going tomorrow - hope I find some . Love your videos like always!

[@LukesMushrooms]

Good luck then! Thank you for your comment :)

[@tarahakari4806]

Hello, long time no see, I'm very glad picking mushrooms seasons is coming

[@LukesMushrooms]

Hello, thanks for watching and commenting :)

[@Fluflo83]

Hi man, congrats for the video. Very cool finds . But...I'm almost sure at 17:00 Is not an edulis...is missing the white line at the bottom of the umbrella. And reticulatus can have varius tipe of brown top. Keep going, you doing well 👍🤎 From Italy

[@LukesMushrooms]

Hello to Italy, thanks for your comment :) I know what you mean by the white line. However, I must insist on my original opinion that it really is B. edulis. In my experience, not all of edulis have that white line, plus there were other signs which convinced me easily. Soon I'll be publishing that picture among experts. I'll let you know here if someone confirms your version.

[@Fluflo83]

@@LukesMushrooms I Will love to know! Thanks Luke

[@bingsescapade]

Nice vlog love to try to pick a mushroom but we dont have that here in the philipines😅

[@oxygene9082]

This is really impressive, thanks for taking us with you. Here, in the very western part of Germany, nature issn't that far. We only have some few scarletina boletes around here.

[@LukesMushrooms]

If you also have some rain there, I believe more mushrooms will appear soon. Good luck :) And thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

[@oxygene9082]

@@LukesMushrooms well, hopefully! In fact we have the most rain in my area in the month may for the past like 10 years

Nice video quality. May i know what camera yoy use for vlogging

Thank you. You can check the video description or the pinned comment, I include my affiliate links there.

ฉันชอบเก็บเห็ดที่สุดเลย 😂ที่นี่เห็ดก็เริ่มมีบ้างแล้ว ขอบคุณสำหรับวีดีโอค่ะ

[@skandalsky66]

I love mushroom soup, fried mushrooms with cream, stew with mushrooms, dumplings with mushrooms and mushrooms marinated in vinegar.

[@LukesMushrooms]

Sounds yummy :)

[@katkat9328]

Is that another one you missed. 17:28 top left.

[@LukesMushrooms]

I think I know what you mean. Maybe it is another one, hard to say now. But it's common to overlook some of them :)

[@ShouldaWaved]

Saw a massive dryads saddle on an elm yesterday, think it was an elm, took a photo with hand for scale

[@LukesMushrooms]

Yeah those can get really huge sometimes :)

[@marinaj3633]

I had no idea mushrooms weren’t exclusively a cold harvest crop ie Autumn

[@LukesMushrooms]

Here in the middle of Europe the season of ceps is usually from June to November, but it can start even earlier or end later. And outside of this period, there is also time for spring and winter mushrooms, so almost all year covered :)

[@marinaj3633]

@@LukesMushrooms Mushrooms are truly fascinating both in their complexity and simplicity, and as you have confirmed environmental climate most certainty plays a part 🍄 Thank you for responding ⭐️

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks for your comments :)

[@Nicole-ww4lg]

yeah, many species like the spring too

[@WillDussault]

Chicken of the woods from oak trees is delicious, I don't know where you heard that

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thanks for your opinion - I'm glad to hear there are people with such experience. As I don't pick chicken of the woods often, I tend to wait if I find it on a fruit tree, poplar or a willow.

[@skyrealitytv7345]

Oh wow pretty mushrooms And also I see plenty of wild garlic beside the basket ❤❤ keep safe always more mushrooms picking

[@LukesMushrooms]

Thank you. Just be careful with wild garlic, those plants beside the basket are most probably lily of the valley and those are poisonous.

[@teldrah]

@@LukesMushrooms Yeah, it's best to be careful with wild plants. The media always portrays mushroom picking as inherently dangerous, but a lot more people get poisoned by plants than by mushrooms. I only pick wild garlic in March, because it tastes best when it is young and during that time, neither Lily of the valley nor Colchicum autumnale (another plant that can look quite similar) can be found, but it's still best to be very careful and always double check every leaf.

bro what?! In may, thats crazy

[@LukesMushrooms]

It is crazy :) The whole mushroom season started 1 month earlier than usual and it's keeping it. Normally I would expect such finds in June.

[@sarneek88]

as a huge fan of boletus hunt i ll gladly give a follow and a like, wonderfull oak spot, in italy a place like that would be completely full of people, we have to go on 30%+ incline to have a chance nobody already checked the place and a lot of times we have to walk more then 2 hours to arrive at the designated spot... pretty envious 🥲 Btw the wormy ones are perfect to dry under the sun, they last in the right condition 1 year or more! fantastic job and those aestivalis are incredible! we have rain since mid april and it will not stop until next week at least, so i' m even more envious 🤣 Love from north italy

[@LukesMushrooms]

Hello and thank you :) Interesting to hear how it works in Italy. Here, mushroom hunting is very popular too, so I was lucky I could go on Thursday and not during the weekend. However, I found traces of other mushroom hunters visiting some spots before me. I wish you good luck and I hope I will also find some more mushrooms this season.
