I've tried the clouded agaric, no adverse reaction and found the taste great!
I keep hoping to find a field blewitt .in 35 years of foraging i have only found them once. There were 100s. This was in Somerset. I live in nw spain now and wood blewitts are very common. I live in hope of a field blewitt. Fingers crossed -if it ever stops raining!
I used to live in Bristol and found the field blewits everywhere
I Can't wait to go to one of your foraging courses in the coming (years 3-4yrs). I'm so excited to come out to the area you live in, I watched the series Edwardian Farm on BBC and fell Iove with that countryside. Thanks as always for all the work you put into these educational videos for us 💞💫
Thanks for the great video. I have been watching most of those you made :) As you mentioned, I also read that many people in UK eat the Clouded agaric but we don't anymore in Italy. There was a recent discovery (few years ago) which I read on some Italian websites for mushrooms that these mushrooms contain three types of toxins. Two of them can be eliminated by boiling them first and throwing away the water but the other one accumulates in the body and for some people that have eaten these mushroom for years it got to the point where it was fatal. I just wanted to add this comment so that people that read it hopefully will stop eating it.
i think you are talking about paxillus involutus?
theres a few videos you wont be able to find on their channel, they will only pop of up the search recommendation because youtube suppresses their videos :D
Thanks a lot for this video ! 😊 I started foraging for mushrooms and eating some clouded agaric a few weeks ago and I have been fine too. They are very abundant where I live so I am glad they agree with my digestive system. I do clean them well and cook them well. 😊 I got some today and shall prepare them later, with some butter caps. 😊
Great videos thank you👍 I find the smell of the wood blewit is so different once you know the smell you won't forget it lol
I found a lonely Wood Blewit, a few days ago, which was weird..But the Field Blewit looks a bit more certain for consumption. I have been eating Scarlet Elf Cups though, such a delicate thing though..
One of my favourite youtbe chanel
You deserve every appreciation Marlow
Great work
Great videos
Thanks
you really ought to invest it a fluffy microphone cover.
Field blewit and wood blewit. Love them
Thanks! Very helpful. Just found some wood blewits on my allotment. Growing from the leaf mould I used to improve my potato bed. Beech and oak trees along the edge of the field. Northampton, UK, October 2019
Love your videos I’ve been learning about mushrooms for the last few yrs and only just started to eat a few , your videos have been a great help thank you
27th Dec just found a large flush of field blewits. Just checking into my only mushroom channel for identification. Thanks as always. Jonny Northampton x
Went for a walk in my local woods today and the floor was covered in wood blewits and clouded algaric .I've picked some but im still not 100% sure 🙈.Could I send you a picture please?
please do through the site email
@@WildFoodUK1 Thank you so much I will send now :-)
Still cant tell which I've got, it was right on the edge of a field growing on buried wood... Beautiful coloration, more of a pink/grey/brown really.
Marlow, thanks so much! I am a keen amaetur fungi forager and would absolutely love to join a foraging course where a group go out and forage with an experienced forager and then as you discussed in this utube forcast, have a discussion to educate and safely inform. I hope one day you offer one near me. I am in Reading, Berkshire. Do let me know. Meanwhile, I will follow you and the rest of the crew at wild food UK. I found some field blewitts under a tree beside a meadow path and agree the distinctive lilac stem is a great assurance making the field blewitt a safe delicious bet.
My father picked Field Blewitts for years some up to 6" across. Simmered slowly in milk.
Locally (West country) known as "Bluestalks".
Blewits have a lot of water in them. Try dry sautéing first, till they’re brown. It will boil off the excess water and make the texture firm and meaty. Then add butter, salt, herbs, shallots (et al) and cream. Delicious!
Found some wood blewits today on April 17th in South East England :)
Are you still alive Greg?
Im in south east too and im still ID ing what i think these are i what im looking at "challock woods"
@@junky5422 Yes they were nice!
@@gregjacobs8544 found some today in north wales :)
Nice video, thanks! I found some white mushrooms in my local woods last year and left them alone because I wasn't sure what they were... now I think they may have been clouded agarics so I'll go back this year and check! I usually have a pretty strong stomach so I'm hoping I'll be OK! I found my first field blewits last week - only a couple but they have such pretty stems and are really yummy! :-) By the way you guys should invest in a microphone gadget to eliminate the noise of the wind!! :-)
In a funny way the sound of the wind gave me more of a feeling of being there being blown about in a windy field. The dog is as relaxed as could be.
I've had no problems eating the clouded agaric. It's a great eater and abundant. Maybe avoid having them with alcohol and cook em til crispy
Why avoid with alcohol, are they like glistening ink caps ? They make a poison?
@@skeetskeet4123 I duno. Maybe.
I was just basing that on the mixed reports on how people get on with them.
Just removes a variable
@@sweetchariotengland ahh right on bro! Preciate you sharing your thoughts behind it. Too many variables in this subject 😂😂
@@skeetskeet4123 word! It's taken me 10 years to feel confident.
Just keep walking, picking and googling. Reverse image searches are very handy
@@sweetchariotengland wow nice man, glad youre really starting to reap the rewards of your skills and investment. Yeah i never end up finishing it up with googling up/researching the pictures i take when out lol, but thats the way to really get to know whats in your climate/environment and all the niche smaller "edibles" that foragers dont touch or focus on!!
With the reverse image searching, is that when you come across a picture of a mushroom that you then link back to its original source to garner information or am I thinking completely wrong ? 😂😂
I've given the clouded agaric a go and it's a taste I don't like at all I've no I'll affects from the one I ate it took me till I finished it to realise it's not for me plus to self experiment on any affects it may have . Next on the agenda field blewit ,tried dark honey mushrooms today and omg I love them ones 😊
Love these guys in Pennsylvania
Just ate half of a clouded agaric. Wish me luck.
I got some mild stomach ache and gas. I think if I boil it multiple times then sauté it I will be fine.
@@thecsslife Good to know info cheers brave lad xD
How did it taste? Found a bunch earlier today.
@@jimmyrustler8983 I think had a very strong earthy flavour, almost like wood. Quite tough flesh, I think I needed to cook it more
@@thecsslife The one that I cut open was fairly young, but still tough. So that might definitely be the case. Could help by marinating them for a bit in some oil or butter.
My favorite mushroom!
mine too can hunt for them and eat them.
i'm happy to see that the field blewit is edible too next to the wood blewit . did that blew it ? :D
👍, but a ‘deadcat’ windshield would be good
In animal experiments, cancer and pulmonary edema were triggered by Clitocybe nebularis!
Do these blewits alawys grow alone or can it have two grow together
do you mean joined together?
Wild Food UK joined at the bottom
@@KiaChannel I've seen a smaller growing underneath but they aren't attached like a honey or oyster...
@@KiaChanneliv found them joined yes
If your wood blewits have any rusty spots on the cap, don't eat them. Not fatal, but very uncomfortable.
I thoiught blewit was spanish for "blue foot"?
It's the people who ate the poisonous imposter mushroom by mistake who really blewit.
Nope
So its called Blewit, an old english word for Blue, and its purple lol
