Whilst road tripping I met a guy who is CRAZY about Mushrooms! - Foraging and cooking wild food

[@FishingwithRod]

This was the best episode so far. 😃 Moritz's passion on mushrooms, cooking, or just everything in life is infectious. What a guy!

[@just_alex]

❤️

[@J4CKBR3TT]

Couldn’t agree more, very interesting man and his passion is something to admire!

[@turtlejones9279]

Amazing Man,,, Legend

[@turtlejones9279]

I will buy his book :)

[@Rickamusmaxamus]

Totally agree

[@fadedtoblack]

This guy needs a Netflix doc about him.

[@Vatsuggggg]

absolutely

[@MacTX]

We're basically getting a sneak preview glimpse of Alex in 20 yrs time.

I love this guy, need more episodes with him

[@joshuagrainger1751]

[@geekyfreq]

What a wonderful person Moritz is!

[@LeeShand]

I think you have found your calling with these types of videos Alex. I have literally no interest in Mushrooms but was captivated by the entire process.

[@nath_carper]

Same mate I come from when he fished with Carl and really intriguing

[@Rawexplores]

Pretty much summed up what I wanted to say 👍

[@connieh.4212]

Saame, I had no interest in beekeeping and mushrooms, but now I’m addicted.

[@patrickdnb7881]

Good people attract good people. You complemented each other in this one.

[@viz.on7]

What a great episode, I'd a lot of fun watching it... Moritz is definitely a character, looks like an awesome person to get to know! and his photographs are amazing.

[@jamiewhite8641]

He’s very enthusiastic and great entertainment, Moritz you are clearly a talented person, makes me want to collect mushrooms 🍄

[@FishingWorlds]

Agree on that!

[@xIDarkSideIx]

that guys deffo had some magic Mushrooms in his time 😂

[@Comrade_Akimov]

For sure

[@kjubajla]

Why do you think he was taking those red agaricas with him? Take a guess

[@claudiami2175]

Haven't we all?

[@raymondgordon8477]

Can’t love mushrooms without loving them all

[@VitaKet]

I mean I read the title as "Whilst tripping I met a guy who is CRAZY about Mushrooms!"

[@joshuagrainger1751]

This is exactly what I needed to start my day! Moritz is a hero and very talented man! No matter how old you get, you must never lose the passion and enthusiasm for your hobbies ❤

I am not 80😂😂😂mush love, moritz

[@joshuagrainger1751]

@@intothewoodsmushrooms Haha, I didn’t mean that! 🤭 It was just general advice to never lose enjoyment in the things you enjoy as adult life and responsibilities get in the way. Both of you getting giddy over mushies was very wholesome to watch ❤️

[@intothewoodsmushrooms]

Haha all good. I really appreciate your comment and am overwhelmed by all this positivity! ❤️

[@autonope23]

[@traceyneale5094]

Yep. As I watched this video I realised you actually bring out the best in people. That was by far the best one. You let them tell their story while creating your own. I love this. Keep it up 👍

[@kernow9324]

Alex makes really engaging videos doesn't he. Just when I thought my happiness while watching this video couldn't grow any more, he filmed the geese flying overhead in a V shape! Thank you, Alex.♥

[@DanielHealey85]

What a lifestyle, Alex superb episode. Moritz is a character we all need in our lives. Awesome dude and i hope you get the van fixed too.

[@just_alex]

Thanks Daniel!

[@andig7954]

Not a surprise that a wonderful guy like Moritz loves cats. 🤗 Thanks for the great videos!

[@ArwinTours]

Ive never been interested in mushrooms before but now I am. Moritz has a ton of knowledge and lots of experience. Amazing video Alex.

[@busyonbail6230]

your admittedly making me want to forage mushrooms, I hate mushrooms but seeing the appreciation from both of you as to why and how they grow, makes me think they will taste better with me being able to appreciate them. glad you enjoyed this time making memories with lovely people along your journey.

[@just_alex]

Yeah, mushrooms aren't enjoyed by everyone. Their earthy taste and interesting texture seems to put people off. But I hope you find some you like eating! :)

[@nostalgiacollecting]

I cannot believe I have not taken advantage of such a wonderful hobby like mushroom foraging. We had a good day of rain here yesterday, and I hope to be able to go on my own mushroom hunting adventure later today. Thank you for the inspiration to try something new. I truly aspire to find the infectious happiness and passion you and Moritz have for life.

[@harryhearn4403]

Crazy good episode, my favourite yet. What a great unique guy. Your parents, Carl and friends must be so proud of you man. You're a great role model in a weird weird world.

[@fifieuskadi]

My favourite episode so far. So nice to watch! Moritz seems like such a nice guy! Also, very talented! I wish I would’ve been there with you guys to share this lovely moment. 🙏🏼

Oh man, how cool is Moritz?! Love that guy! What an incredible experience. That meal... I'm salivating watching this. Too much!

[@franj001]

[@Dannsandiego]

Moritz's amazing energy and subject matter expertise; mushroom cuisine; your next level editing; birds flying overhead in formation... Well done, Alex, well done!

[@ryanhughes8190]

Wow moritz went all out for you what a true gentleman sounds and acts like a top guy. Great vid Alex 👍

[@rickyjessome4359]

Alex this episode was amazing! Moritz seemed like a really down to earth kind of guy. The knowledge that man has on mushrooms is mind blowing. The meal he prepared looks of something from a five star restaurant. Hopefully you can get your van fixed and not break the bank. Cheers

[@TheNails3]

This was an amazing video! The dinner Moritz made looked stunning and he made me laugh with the thumb on the plate comment! That guy has bags of personality, awesome

[@jonosman6340]

This is up there with the best, Moritz is a legend the world needs more people like him ✌️

[@claudiami2175]

Can we all have a moment to recognise this man's skill in the kitchen?

[@TheDanimaniac]

Only his Knife skills are bad. xD

[@4ndy123]

Chopping the tip of his finger off lol

[@QuockaFlocka]

@@TheDanimaniac his knife/food gripping form looked so dangerous. lol, always gotta tuck the thumb and naims in behind the knuckle as a knife side-guard

Wow! Moritz can cook🔥 the food looked amazing!

[@EarlsFishingAdventures]

Alex you must feel so free ? Do you feel free ? You are traveling all over and you dont look like you have any stress what so ever. Im loving your life journey.

[@just_alex]

Yes, very free, it's exciting not knowing what each day will bring!

[@EarlsFishingAdventures]

@@just_alex I would love to have that feeling. Maybe one day ha

[@PanhurstFarmsMorocco]

When we lived in the US, before moving to Morocco full time, we would take family camping trips. My favourite part of the trips was always hiking and discovering what the forest had to offer. I loved finding the mushrooms on trees and under leaves or brush. I miss that part of living in the US. Great video-it brought me into the experience through your incredible storytelling and editing! Love from Morocco 🇲🇦

[@brandim]

My husband and I are finding so much inspiration from your channel. Even down to your mismatched socks, we find it living comfortably. We just found you a few hours ago (now a few hours in). My husband as he sleepily said goodnight said we need to watch all your videos. 😄 I agree

Thank you so so much for this great time with Moritz in the wood picking wild mushrooms and cooking them like a chief, .... I'm also crazy about mushrooms for about 25 years now. With the time, I've learned about them, discovering new species years after years. Today, I'm planning to make growing some species in my garden and see the result. Thanks again Alex, I like your channel about your van life your passion for wild mushrooms!!, ....

[@r.elzenwall4353]

Good evening, Alex!!, .... With your last video with Moritz I couldn't wait for a walk to the forest which is very closed to my house and where I'm used to pick the mushrooms and what a blessing, I found a really big porcini with his child, and two other ones, almost one kilo within a very few time!!, .... I made some photos to share, but do not know where I can do it!!, ....

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! What a guy you discovered. Been watching your trip from the start and I'm starting to get the travelbug back after being a free wanderer many moons ago. Geographical places are amazing and alone time in the wilderness essential. but the unplanned findings of unforgettable characters along the way can really seal it all up and help you through the rather more daunting parts . Cheers fella!

Best episode!Moritz is an amazing guy! Wouldn't worry too much about warning lights in a Tdi VW, if your car works normal just has engine warning light in, it's just probably a clogged filter ir something, I have one, it happens but 99 percent just some small thing, it might just decide to go away on its own.That food looks amazing, it made me very hungry...Anyway, you found your way Alex, love what you do, I will stick with you!
