December Mushroom Foraging 2022

[@treasureinthewoods]

Nature is incredibly generous with us humans, but we don't know how to appreciate it. Thank you for your videos, I have a lot to recover and learn from them.🤗

[@vixen8052]

Fantastic episode. Big hello from Ireland.

[@greatestytcommentator]

Thanks, this was a lovely little video.. This is the sort of programme I used to enjoy on a Sunday on the BBC....before .... I spent November indoors but went out a few days ago and have been Amazed at what IS in the fields and what IS NOT!

[@PilzE.]

Ahhhh yes, the BBC...... before..... No idea how they still have the nerve to ask for a fee to watch their biased, propaganda laden crap! TV, for my family, kinda died with the advent of the internet. The only reason we still have the TV set up is for the very occasional Netflix series my wife and youngest son watch. The BBC can shove their nonsense, their nonces, and their nasty liberal agendas right up their 🤬

[@graemedevine9651]

Thanks Marlow, a lot of information there, I've got your book for reference, I'd recommend anyone trying to forage gets it.

[@mikerenshaw7867]

Very informative and enjoyable watch. Thank you :)

[@georgequinn721]

Haha! Had to comment. Great to see you in such high spirits Marlow! I've been loving the madness of the last couple of months in the UK. Ticked off a good number of never-been-found species(including one incredibly vast flush of trompe de la morte) and felt like quite the accomplished forager when I returned to my winter chanterelle spot exactly when I thought they'd be out to be greeted by caps in the literal millions and was able to harvest several kilos without even making a dent. Thanks for the education!

[@dri748]

Hi to all and happy new year. I'm 55 and live in the South East of England. I've just started my journey into foraging, and am so glad to have found you.

[@mushroomwonderland1]

Your channel has been a huge inspiration to mine, don't know if you've ever watched Mushroom Wonderland but I used to just marathon watch your videos. You have so many amazing mushrooms in such a small area there in the UK. I would love to come foraging there sometime. Last summer in Telluride, Colorado I met a guy from the UK who runs the London Fungus Network, Mike. Do you know him? Nice guy. Maybe I can come out that way and collaborate with you someday 🍄🤙

[@graemedevine9651]

I enjoy your channel too, the only problem is I'm in Ireland and its different weather from UK as it's an island, weather can be similar and at other times very different.

[@planetalk2971]

I love your video's too @Mushroom Wonderland :) And I thank both channels for their content :)

[@WildFoodUK1]

Hi Mushroom Wonderland :) Just checked out some of your vids and certainly if you are ever over here get in touch :). In the meantime keep up the good work

[@AlissaSss23]

Hey, fancy seeing you here! Awesome channel!!!

[@mushroomwonderland1]

@@WildFoodUK1 thank you sir!!

[@Fortrox]

Another great video! Thank you very much! 😊

[@crashjanglechime]

Another excellent video. Thank you.

[@ludwik5992]

This video is exactly what I was missing. The knowledge of mild winter mushrooms. I come from Eastern Europe where winters used to be very cold and there were no mushrooms to be found after mid October. I wish I watched your winter mushrooms video (that you have mentioned) as I have walked daily in polish forests in later October this year encountering lots of different mushrooms none of which I could identified. I did have a filling that most of the mushroom species were edible but without your knowledge I could not take any home. So, thank you for this very useful and educating video. I will also look up your earlier video edition of “winter mushrooms".

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

Wood ears are a brilliant winter mushroom that I have found in eastern europe. I cover them in melted chocolate.

[@WildwoodTV]

Love Blewits!

[@erica2105]

thank you for the lovely video! I live in northern Italy and here we can't find the winter chanterelles that much, I have a very fond memory of them from when I lived in the UK! We do get all the types of milk caps and the blewits. We can still find some boletes and russulae now in the plains, but they're almost over.

[@joseph8208]

I really enjoy your videos. They have helped me as a novice forager stay safe.

[@gingerspoons6078]

Magic as always ❤🙏👍

[@lucien_cooper]

Just wanted to say thanks to Marlow and all of the team at Wild Food UK, your videos and website have been an excellent resource to someone who's been studying and learning about fungi in books for over a year but lacked the field knowledge and experience to forage mushrooms confidently. Your videos and guides helped bridge that gap and I decided to go out foraging and have been lucky enough to find both Lepista nuda and Pleurotus ostreatus in my local woods this winter, a very happy forager indeed!

[@beccafirebird]

Thank you for this, very informative, as always. I hope you're feeling much better.

[@garethgough4112]

Always a joy to join you guys virtually on a forage! So informative and very relaxing to watch, thank you and Happy Christmas and New Year! :)

[@bikkenmetdikken]

Lovely video. Thxz for your clear explaining each of your finds so well. That way I learn the English names.

[@GreenLifeInDublin]

Thank You for sharing Your knowledge!

[@experiencingselves]

Here in Ontario, Canada I find the "winter chanterelles" in late September 😅. Crazy to see the black trumpets in December. I am still on a years long hunt for a good flush of them; I have only seen them in tiny, withered sets of two or three so far.

[@e.s.lavall9219]

"Leave the blushers for me, actually!" This is absolutely my strategy when non-foragers ask "isn't that dangerous?" "Yes, it's perilous, I'm risking my life on a regular basis. You should never ever forage and you should leave all the delicious mushrooms and plants for me!"

[@greatestytcommentator]

The "BLACK DEATH TRUMPET" named by Foragers.

[@eastcoastandy2905]

Correct spelling and punctuation, that's a rarity these days and should not go unnoticed. Thanks

[@Littlewing6was9]

I don't think it's ugly either. Thanks for all your work. I've really enjoyed watching your videos this year. I'm compiling a playlist of UK foraging so I can help share you out. Good stuff, tip top. Have a great Christmas etc. Fiona from Manchester 🌼

[@WildFoodUK1]

you too :)

[@springfield6826]

Lovely! Thanks

[@oliviva3978]

Fantastic foraging. I wonder if we can find black trumpets in Australia

[@coolkitty2075]

How could you spot them in the leaves 😄

[@ArtichokeHunter]

wow, i've only found black trumpets in the summer here! it's so cool to see what mushrooms are the same in different places but also the differences.

[@funkyfaerie7]

Awesome video. Beautiful array of mushrooms 🍄 Thank you 😊 💚

[@amiwan9596]

really enjoyed this video, felt like i'd been on a trip to the woods with you hahah

Replant the mycelium covered stem buts to help encourage new growth.

When you are doing your mushroom forays, can you add a bit more info about the habitat and surroundings. Ta

[@pumpkincrumblepie154]

I have found wood blewits with anything spiky mostly bramble and holly but also under sweet chestnut three growing amongst the fallen chestnuts I was thinking maybe deer eat them

[@wallybob2266]

Good stuff.

[@sabrinawanderer7560]

I didn't skip some of your ads.. God bless..

[@marshlandz]

I've heard that you should fry mushrooms in a dry pan to get the moisture out before you add butter, thoughts?

[@WildFoodUK1]

That depends on how moist they are. Blewits hold a lot of water so probably good for them but not bays..

[@mushroomsislife280]

Very inspiring

[@navystreak]

All of the field blewits I've found this year (around 200 or so, they're everywhere!) are all infested with maggots :( Still to try some, yet.

[@greatestytcommentator]

Just a Little Proteeein Proteeein

[@jamesnewstead7099]

You need to get the really young field blewits if they have fanned out they will have maggots or atleast eggs

In Scotland, the wood blewit season ends sooner I can't find any after mid-November

There are private sectors that engage in the growing and selling of magic mushroom discreetly. I ordered mine online from a specialist, Briggs_spores on instagram. They ship discreetly to any location.

[@malkneil]

I've heard some mixed things about the purple corts. You seem to indicate they're not poisonous. Does that mean some people collect them for the table? Thanks!

[@girlinagale]

I saw funnel shaped mushrooms, medium big, very clean white. I took a photo but my phone glitched out so I lost the image.

[@sabrinawanderer7560]

Purple mushrooms make me salivate and want to eat something sweet.

[@robertheath1768]

Think I found some velvet shank the other day, and thought they might be included with the winter selection. I’ve heard they’re edible, but are they any good?

[@billiverschoore2466]

bit worried that what you found is not velvet shank if you didn't spot them in this video... just don't overcook them, and 'de gustibus et coloribus non disputandumst, so if you want to know if they're any good, try them for yourself 🌳🕊💚

[@stevehead365]

Please be absolutely sure they are velvet shanks before considering eating them.

[@Littlewing6was9]

That candle snuff fungus. Does it grow orangey yellow or black. I have something similar around my rowan tree but they grow in little bunches and are opaque. I've always wondered what they are.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Sounds liek something different. send a photo in through the website.

[@greatestytcommentator]

Candlesnuff is a grey Blue with Black tips or bases

That last mushroom, is that Marasmious oreadeas?

[@WildFoodUK1]

Yes :)

[@milanradojkovic3818]

Very tasty mushroom ❤️❤️❤️

[@Ukraineaissance2014]

Probably my favourite wild mushroom, brilliant for pasta recipes, and the best thing about them is you can dry them out and then when you rehydrate them they look at taste exactly the same as new.

[@glyncolman8901]

You missed the Blutits can cause stomach upsets in some people, so check with the book before eating for cooking advice.

[@karstent8138]

5:27 Better to called fungi saprotophes Marlow, saprophyte would really be a plant.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanks Karsten :) lightbulb moment!

[@karstent8138]

24:00 Might be worth mentioning these make you very ill if eaten about 3 days either side of alcohol?

[@WildFoodUK1]

You might be mistaking the Glistening Ink cap (coprinellus micaceus) with the Common Ink cap (Coprinopsis atramentaria).

[@claire9026]

how is this man going around without a jacket and hat and scarf it is baltic

[@janeshorter434]

Thanks for info but I thought environmentally that you were supposed to cut mushrooms away from mycelium and not just rip them up.

[@WildFoodUK1]

There is no real consensus on what is better, some say that cutting leaves the organism open to infection some say that pulling damages the mycelium. Either way you are going to be slightly distressing the mushroom but not a lot. When you don't know what the mushroom is then you need to get a a look at the very base as that's where some key ID features are, so uprooting is required.
