Thank you

[@BeesAndButtercups]

Also worth mentioning about ticks. The mark can appear on a different part of the body, not necessarily just where you were bitten and the can sometimes take several weeks (I've even heard of months) to appear. Wearing light coloured clothes helps a lot with spotting the buggers before they can latcg on to you!

[@PandoraChaser2]

Great info and love the bloopers Marlow :)

[@WildFoodUK1]

lol, I hated doing that scene. I love talking about plants and mushrooms but not used to the marketing bits..

[@sweetchariotengland]

Its a great channel chaps You are my authority on mushroom ID and have encouraged me to move into wood foraging and bow making. Good to see I'm not the only one for loads of takes

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanx, I’m normally pretty good on one take when talking about mushrooms.. I’m not so good on the marketing though!

[@sweetchariotengland]

@@WildFoodUK1 the 'helping folks not die from an array of different poisonings' should be marketing enough in my opinion 👌

[@AfroKnitterBiker]

same here

[@zedjay81]

Stumbled along one of your videos when looking at foraging videos. New sub.. loving the content!

[@Rich..]

I absolutely adore this content, could watch it all day. Keep up the good work!

[@WildFoodUK1]

will do, the next episode is coming soon :)

[@IbizaDreamer65]

Brilliant as always, Marlow 👍🏻

[@WildFoodUK1]

Many thanx :)

[@mwirth187]

I purchased your books recently, the mushroom and the general foraging books. Wonderful books with great photos. Thanks to Attilla for the emails and shipping help. Cheers!

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanx and you’re welcome :)

[@mattentwistle70]

A wonderful cacophony of lovely sounds.

[@janem4791]

I did your course at cefn coed near dolgellau a few weeks back. Fabulous course. Can't wait to do another one in a diff season.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Hi Jane :) glad you enjoyed it, even though we didn’t find the chanterelles! C u next time for those ;)

[@jonathandeleyser1782]

great vid and channel. shout-out to Attila, who gave a super helpful and kind email reply to a foraging question of mine. you can tell these folks just genuinely love their subject and helping people in it.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanx I'll pass on your message to Attila :)

If there's ever a zombie apocalypse this knowledge will be worth it's weight in gold

[@7owlfthr]

"IF"... you're being funny!

[@arumblue1973]

Another great video from Marlow. Love it. My 2 boys are big fans of wild food UK too!

[@WildFoodUK1]

That's great to hear :)

[@AndreaDingbatt]

Wow!! I've just described Lords and ladies as being like a Mouthful of Paper -Cuts!!😮 It certainly felt like that, after Hubby accidentally foraged it with wild garlic!! That Damm Giant Hog Weed, Burns can last a Lifetime!! I got burned as a Teenager, and I'm nearly 60yrs now, it Still Blisters up whenever the Sunlight hits my skin where I touched it.... However, I'm still Foraging, and the health benefits are awesome!! 😎👍 Thank you so much for making and sharing your videos, greatly appreciated!!💞🌱 Better Safe than Sorry!! Namasté 🙏 Andréa and Critters. ...XxX...

[@stuartmccloud307]

I'm loving this series, Watched no1 and was so impressed with your diligence and attention to detail that I bought a couple of your books. I've learned so much already, thanks man, you've really got me hooked on Foraging. I've never had so many free Salads :)

[@WildFoodUK1]

Great to hear :) Thanx

[@lotus.b.lazuli2020]

Target mark, blimey, when my mother was bitten on the back of the knee when I was a child, that red sore burning blister was the size of a dinner plate! I'll never forget that. She had it real bad.

[@benjy-adams]

Thx Marlow, i'm not new to Fungi Foraging, but haven't really got into foraging plants (other than Seaweed) so this series is perfect for me. So clear, concise and easy to understand. I hope to book myself onto one of your courses at some point...i keep leaving hints with the wife but she doesnt seem to get the hint!

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanx :) why don’t you book a course for both of you ;)

[@benjy-adams]

@@WildFoodUK1 That was the plan - need to find someone to look after the kids for a day first tho...or it would be mayhem!

[@theexplorechanneluk7934]

I got a story about ticks. I went camping once in wales, came home and my sleeping bag was filled with ticks but I went untouched thankfully.

[@arnoldmmbb]

Great video as always 👍🏻

[@markjose2195]

Hemlock Water Dropwort is incredibly common here in the South West. I find it along almost any water and even in simply damp areas. One to be very aware of!

[@bertieschitz-peas429]

I live near a nature reserve in South Wales and saw hemlock water dropwart everywhere I looked on the site last week, very common poisonous weed.

[@vanessaevans3401]

Super video 😊

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanx :)

[@justmadeit2]

I saw water hemlock today, it’s lethal. Also saw giant hogweed known for causing severe skin blisters if you get it on your skin

[@bladdnun3016]

33:30 I thought wolfsbane (aconitum napellus) was the most poisonous plant in Europe.

[@MrMaxKeane]

Is chicken of the woods ever poisonous if it is growing out of certain trees?

[@WildFoodUK1]

The latest studies about it growing from Yew show that it does not take in any of the taxine from the trees, so technically its safe from all trees, but it could envelope branches or needles so care should be taken to clean it properly from Yew and make sure there are no parts of the tree inside it.

[@BonsaiBrandy]

Is eating watermint raw dangerous for the same reason as watercress?

[@WildFoodUK1]

If it is growing in the water then yes. Basically anything growing in the water has a risk. Water mint grows on the bank or beside the water more often though.

[@markosullivan6444]

Another really interesting and informative video. I will say, however, that your use of the word 'poisonous' to describe the adder is incorrect. Adders are 'venomous' in that they inject you with venom. They are not poisonous (as far as I know); eating them won't make you ill, like getting bitten (and envenomated) by them will.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanx for the correction! Will make sure I get that right in future ;)

[@pipesandcigarsinfrance5342]

Interesting to know this. I wouldn't have thought of the difference.
