UK Winter Mushrooms - Wood Blewits

[@laimaesmaeili9002]

It is the first year for me to get know wood blewits. I was always passing by them, but when they occupied my 2-year-old raised vegetable bed, I checked what they were and been nicely surprised. From now on, it is my favourite mushroom because it grows like crazy in my garden...😊

[@liveinfourseasons]

This is my first time to get to know wood blewits! Love the colour too and I wish one day I will see it around my area 😊

[@jimsmindonline]

I've yet to spot these, they hide so well. I'm curious how the taste compares to the smell? Hope you are getting out this year, it's been a wonderful late season so far. Love your reactions to a good find, I feel exactly the same joy. 👍

[@ruthbone3990]

Very helpful, thank you. I am fairly confident I have a wood blewit but I am going to do spore print to be sure.

[@beccafirebird]

Great to see this. I really want to find these. No luck so far. Thanks for making the vid 🍄🍄🍄

[@jayaway1361]

Ah, you’ll find them. Look in ancient woods under holly too!

[@alionasviridova5315]

I found them half of the grocery bag today while walking my dog in Georgia, USA, next to woods we've always walked. Will fry with shrimps and salmon for dinner. Never tasted before. Thank you for the video!

[@Salomessanctuary]

Thanks, beautiful video and mushrooms. 😍🙏

[@jayaway1361]

Thank you too!

I found both types of Purple Gilled Clitocybe Mushrooms in my local cemetery, the lepista Nuda and the lepista sordida, strange how even though there are oak and beech trees present; the Blewits seem to grow under pine the trees probably preferring more acidic substrate. The ground Ivy will be very acidic I guess.

Awesome! I'm a mushroom lover so great guidance. I'm sure Emily and James are excited about a shout out. Keep em coming, loving em all.

[@jayaway1361]

Thanks guys - glad you enjoyed it! Maybe next time you are here I’ll have a few we can sling on the bbq! 😁

[@Daughterofawildflower]

So glad I’ve found your channel. I’ve just got into foraging mushrooms and these videos of yours are super helpful. New subscriber here!

[@jayaway1361]

Thanks Terri, I'm pleased you've enjoyed the vids! Thanks for subscribing :)

Very pretty species. As artist I've recently taken more of a intrest in fungi. They came in so many colors . Much love ❤️ 🙏

[@DDFFFFDDFDFD]

Great video mate 👍🏼

[@turtleturtle8507]

They go really good in Alfredo and you don't need to many

[@ianmcculloch5139]

Very informative off to look for some tomorrow cheers . Looks like you enjoyed them 😊

[@attilaosztopanyi9468]

I have been going mushroom picking since I was a child. Wood belwit is my favorite mushroom. The smell and the color is amazing. The best in an omelette.I would always chose it over chicken of the woods, chanterelle, oyster mushroom or porcini.

[@MotoHikes]

Ahh dude, I love your excitement and energy! You got yourself a sub

[@jayaway1361]

Hey - thanks mate! Much appreciated :)

[@ramthian]

Thank you ❤

[@christineh8714]

I enjoyed this and very helpful too. Hoping to find some this year!

[@heidimorrison7595]

Yay for mushrooms! More mushroom videos please :)

[@jayaway1361]

Hi Heidi - There will be more on the way! Thanks so much for watching me root around! :)

[@cocis911]

Another great video - thank you! I found some a few weeks ago and loved them. So great to be able to forage decent edibles right in the middle of winter! Real gems! 👌

[@jayaway1361]

That’s awesome!! Have you tried the field blewits at all? I’m keeping an eye out for them too 🤞

[@cocis911]

I've not managed to find them but will keep an eye out. I was wondering if all the cold weather might have damaged the mycelium and whether we might have a delay seeing other winter mushrooms develop for a while? Do you know?

[@cocis911]

Ah just read your reply to someone else who asked the same thing! You're all way ahead of me! 😂😜

[@jayaway1361]

@@cocis911 no worries 👍

[@adifferentwayuk3335]

Nice thanks

[@jayaway1361]

Thank you 🙏

Это рядовка лиловоногая...

[@eonwilsun]

OMG! I saw the Blewit!

[@jayaway1361]

Haha, good man! 👍

[@pennysmith3803]

👋 I just wondered when there’s been a hard frost as we’ve just had for a good few days, will shrooms come up afterwards or does it finish them off?

[@jayaway1361]

These little dudes are known to appear after frost so wait for some rain and then go looking. Good luck 🤞

[@CindyMusicPianoWorkshop]

Hi! May I ask you one thing.? There’s suddenly grew a lot of mushroom in my garden, and I don’t know if it’s dangerous or not. So I don’t dare to touch it. How can I show your pictures so you can tell me if it’s not poison mushroom ?..

[@felixdawson8497]

I don't know if your mushroom is poisonous or not but I do know that even the most deadly poisonous mushrooms in the UK can be handled completely safely! So long as you don't eat them, you are fine

[@fiveleavesleft6521]

It's annoying that clouded agarics can be dodgy. They smell so damn good.

[@jayaway1361]

Totally. Have you eaten one??

[@fiveleavesleft6521]

@@jayaway1361 Nah I've had a bad stomach from CoTW and larch boletes before so I'm a bit cautious. I'm also a bit dubious about whether mushrooms which badly effect some people and not others may have long term effects- ie brown roll rims which are apparently still eaten in some countries.

[@jayaway1361]

@@fiveleavesleft6521 ah yes there was a very well known mycologist (although I can’t remember his name!) who loved eating picked roll rims. He did so for years until it killed him. We certainly have to be cautious with mushrooms!!
