Dear Mia, once again a very nice video with great explanations, thank you very much 😊🍄🤗 I did have to laugh a little, though, when you were struggling with the birch polypore.😉😉 Keep it up 👍👍
Loving the vlogs and the info for each find. Due to my job this time of year I can only get out on Sundays so just about to head off to the woods inspired and ready to forage. Thankyou
I love watching your videos! Went out today and found a saffron milk cap, bay bolete, and a panther cap. Almost ate the panther cap thinking it was a blusher!
Top content again! I hope you realise how good you are at presenting and putting these vids together, keep it up girl, oh, beech bark is a bit of an oddity, have a google, it sort of keeps growing as the tree grows so doesn’t crack, beech trees trunks and branches look like athletes muscles to me, that’s how I clock them in the winter, it’s like a ‘tight’ bark🌳🌳
@@gracjandobrzeniecki8254 tbh all my free time is spent either outside/making videos & exercising… i show a bit more of my day to day life on instagram. I am going to do more art/crafts/herbal stuff soon so maybe the videos will become a bit more personalised 😊
Fantastic! Thanks for more brilliant content, I'm not so sure about poking your eye more out as to severing a finger 🤣 I have similar thoughts of impending doom laden accidents. I was convinced the other day whilst walking over a very large rabbit warren that I'd slip, go up to my hip in a hole with one leg and snap my femur and of course there being no mobile signal just in that spot 😁 I chortled to myself.
Awesome. Great insightful content and thanks for info about the Chinese medicinal properties. Speaking of which your like a ninja 🥷 with that blade and Eagle eye. You got some proper big MoFO's on your journey. Was great timing catching part 6 and thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. I am out tomorrow foraging and to take pictures. I don't know shizzzle about bark and trees so this was very helpful interesting with laughs along the way. Thanks man! Peaaaaace
@@jonesyacdc depends how sharp you keep em. I’ve purposely dull one of my opinel cos there’s just no need for razor sharpness on a mushroom knife it scares me hahaha
When identifying stuff, to be 100% sure, check with at least 3 sources (a couple of books, website and ask opinions of people more experienced) BEFORE eating anything !! & always research poisonous look a likes of each edible mushroom
@@Hikeymandan Not sure yet, i’m going to see if I can get a bigger piece off and inspect what it looks like deeper down 👀 and will monitor the small areas to see how they develop
How many times has the wood blewit been reclassified? I looked on an app this morning it was down as clitocybe, now it's back to Lapista Nuda and people are calling it collybia 😅
Ah God they like to complicate haha I only knew it as Lapista, then seen Clitocybe though it had changed to that. Clitocybe is a good shout as it looks like the Clitocybe Nebularius before inspection 😅
@ oh. Well, I’ve never been so disappointed by an answer in my life! I thought it might have been some witchy left-hand-path type of thing coz of the New Forest and that. I even felt clever for noticing. Smug in my assumption etc. Anyway…
Porcelain fungi - I HAVE eaten them. Collected a whole bunch from near Brockenhurst, took about an hour peeling them carefully, then gently fried them in a bit of butter. With great anticipation had the first taste... They were vile. Hardly any flavour, textureless and slimy. Never again!
@@Florafunga This is the best part of the year! When Blewits and Heralds wake up from hibernating! They are up there with hedgehogs and trumpets personally so you should probably be sceptical of my opinion!
Thank you for such an interesting video - first time watching 😊

@@thow5463 ya welcome!! & it was funny haha I just didn’t wanna rip it off the tree, would have taken a load of wood with it 😆

@@stinkyditchnursery750 very kind, thank you ☺️☺️ & i am looking into all the tree barks now 😆
Cool vid, you've inspired me to try and identify some mushrooms next time I'm out
What do you do when you are not in forest ? (: Maybe record some video and say something about your life, we are interested in

thanks for the loveee 🍄🫶🏻
@Florafunga Hey, it's alll gooood. thanks for replying back. I appreciate it man. Cheers. ✌🏼
Love your knowledge of the different species, how did you learn so much about mushrooms?
Theres SO much to learn, it feels that I only know a little 😆 i spend hours alone walking, reading, googling etc
🤍🖤🤎💜💙💚🧡❤💛
Go you, love your videos
I like to identify a trees armature
😊
Does chicken of the woods come back following year on same trees?
In my experience it seems every couple years, I expect theres no absolute rule to it though
I made a chicken-of-the-woods curry one time. It was deeeelicious.
I love you.
the bone looks like a bird sacrum!
Have you ever thought about growing your own mushrooms?
I went onto your channel and realised you have grew your own, never mind lol
@@ebonykeatings7569 🤣 i have done a couple of ready to grow kits but i’d like to do it more from scratch, yeah, just dont have enough space atm!
Ah
At this time of night
That knife work was making me sweat with anxiety
@@pest5373 LOL 😂😂😂
Yeah, those opinel knives are as sharp as hell, I was thinking she is going to cut herself here🫣🫣🫣
@@jonesyacdc depends how sharp you keep em. I’ve purposely dull one of my opinel cos there’s just no need for razor sharpness on a mushroom knife it scares me hahaha
@@pest5373 yeah but you buy them for a reason, stainless steel, keeps Sharp, and keeps rust at bay.👍😁
@@pest5373 I think opinel web site sells dedicated mushroom knifes.👍french company.
Any tips for new forager?

Did it end up being Chaga?

I have some (Clitocybe 😜) Nuda in my garden just found it yesterday. Im getting real intrusive thoughts when you get your knife out😅😂
How many times has the wood blewit been reclassified? I looked on an app this morning it was down as clitocybe, now it's back to Lapista Nuda and people are calling it collybia 😅
@@garysteel7672 🤣 im pretty sure it was clitocybe then lepista and now collybia!
Ah God they like to complicate haha I only knew it as Lapista, then seen Clitocybe though it had changed to that. Clitocybe is a good shout as it looks like the Clitocybe Nebularius before inspection 😅
Noticed also how your left hand only is painted. Must be a reason for that, I think, but I’m not nosey enough to ask why. PS, nice shawl.
@@TreforTreforgan no particular reason tbh! I just started one side n kept going so then wanted to keep the other side empty 🤷🏽♀️😆
@ oh. Well, I’ve never been so disappointed by an answer in my life! I thought it might have been some witchy left-hand-path type of thing coz of the New Forest and that. I even felt clever for noticing. Smug in my assumption etc. Anyway…
@@TreforTreforgan hahahaa ohh 😅
I thought the wood blewit was lepista nuda?
@@MarkPearce-u7m it was! Then it changed again 😆
@Florafunga yeah, these experts keep doing this, hard to keep up! Thanks for clarifying 👍.
Porcelain fungi - I HAVE eaten them. Collected a whole bunch from near Brockenhurst, took about an hour peeling them carefully, then gently fried them in a bit of butter. With great anticipation had the first taste...
They were vile. Hardly any flavour, textureless and slimy. Never again!
@@vt356b 🤣🤣🤣
Frost will come soon and ruin the fun 🫠
That's when the fun begins! Love picking the first Herald of Winter mushrooms every year! ;P
@seb.2706 I'll keep my eyes out!
@@seb.2706i found some the other day! Are they tasty?
