I started off really enjoying the walk-about in the woods, to being impressed with your knowledge to being completely confused and wanting to leave mushrooms well alone, lol. Great vid though, and editing! Cheers.
I don't think I've actually commented on a TH-cam video for about eleven years - much like toxic russulas, comments sections can get a bit spicy for me. But it's worth breaking the habit here to congratulate you on your 100th video. I came to your channel for the plants, and ended up catching your enthusiasm for mushrooms too, of which I previously had none. I've learned a lot from your website as well, and have used it as a great source whilst learning to forage over the past 18 months or so. So thanks a lot, Wild Food UK, I really appreciate your work :)
Great video. You do need to sort the white balance out on your camera. Would like to see the details/colours of the mushrooms properly. Could be deadly otherwise
As an very amateur mycophile - I know my families pretty well for the most part - I found this utterly enthralling. What an enjoyable and fact-packed video. Top marks, mushroomy mister.
Really enjoyed this episode, warm, friendly tone and pace. Accessible information without drowning in detail. Never watched any of your stuff before. Enjoyed so much that I've liked & subscribed. Thank you.
Ahhhh. This takes me back to Octobers in the late 80s and early 90s. Spent all day foraging around golf courses of Surrey and Hampshire for Liberty Caps and spent all night jumping the moon on rainbow coloured unicorns.
I absolutely love your videos! I live in Washington State in the U.S. and many of the mushies on your videos are ones I encounter here, often. all of the edibles you cover have been so helpful for a beginning forager. Your knowledge makes me very confident that I’m getting good, usable information in the field. And as I am a visual learner, just reading books isn’t enough for my brain. I wish you and your family all the health during these hard times and I’m so very grateful that you’re still putting out more videos. I’ve watched all of your “back to basics” videos dozens of times!! Thank you!!
Just catching up with all these, although I have seen a few before. such a refreshing change from some of the online groups. Friendly and fascinating and beautifully accessible. And a lovely style. Thank you so much and happy foraging. Best wishes, Rick
Amazing and wonderful. I have watched many mushroom videos, but you combine your knowledge, experience, passion and personal charm into a most enjoyable, informative and useful presentation that will last. Thank you.
Note to self: V good video. Beech, oak and birch = best trees for foraging shrooms. Grass = good for spring and summer. Moss = good. Useless trees for shrooms = Ash, rhododendron, maples. 14:44 to 17,00 = beefsteak = on sweet chestnut or oak hosts. Sour taste. 27:58 to 28,41 = Amethyst deceiver. Purple gills = essential info. If creamy buff = poisonous. 29:50 to 31,18 = Chanterelle. If yellowish pale orange outer, then flesh when cut MUST be white. If inner = same as outer colour = poisonous.
I recently got interested in mushroom foraging, and it is nice to see someone from the UK doing this. You explain things nicely, and you give great advice.
Hi Marlow. I just wanted to thank you for your channel and content. I don't think I've learned so much in so little time since finding your channel a couple of weeks ago. I'm about 90% through all of your vids and will be going back through multiple times I'm sure. Please keep sharing your knowledge, it's absolutely fascinating. I'm keeping an eye on your Foraging Courses page on your website too, hoping a course is bookable soon! Thanks mate 👍
Hi, really new to this subject. Being forced to explore my local woodland during the covid lockdown has made me discover the kingdom of the mushrooms! You and atomic shrimp are my go to channels so thankyou for making it simple and easy for even a beginner like me to understand. Thankyou 🍄🙂
It’s the Kingdom of the Mushrooms that has kept covid going for over two years. Especially the ones that drive around wearing a mask alone in their car. The average fungus has more brains than that.
Would like to see him do a video on the Liberty Cap aka Magic Mushroom but I can't find a single video of his about them. They taste great with Spaghetti Bolognaise!
@@moorshound3243 East Side of the UK (Wales ideally), late Sep until first frost. Look in fields with sheep. They tend to grow next to high clumps of grass, bracken, thorns (I. E. Like a bit of shade but not always the case).
studying for a biology exam on fungi and I came across your video. It was actually very educational and interesting to watch. definitely helped with some vocabulary for my exam.
@@maulor3 hahah. You have to catch them early on before they turn into bags of dust. Young puffballs are basically just solid white flesh and great to eat.
To avoid heart attack seizures n strokes plz STOP drinking allot durring eating- and avoid drinking AFTER food and laying down, bathing showering, sex for few hours. Also beware when going buffets - tempting to refill their tumblers Avoid standing/ walking while eating. AVOID the following straight after eating to avoid heart attack strokes::: swimming, body massage, shower, exercise, sex, masturbating, drinking anything. Avoid forcing urine / poop to come out- constipation is caused by not having ENOUGH fibre AND drinking COLD drinks. Drinking fizzy drinks when eating r very bad for health- the food industry and pharmaceutical industries are behind many health problems. By drinking more water and eating fruits you are changing your life expectancy. Avoid Apple And watermelon durring night time as bad for stomach, digestion problems can lead to complications. Fruits LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE Apples banana n pears PREVENT strokes. Watermelon, papaya including the seeds excellent for FATTY LIVER. Watermelon MUST be eaten on an EMPTY stomach, avoid eating with allot of drinks/ water- BEWARE of the buffet system ( this is how humans are programmed what and how much to eat). - WAKE UP Asian people decrease oil, fatty foods. Avoid drinking after meals unless u don't mind going hospital. Shit happens in life - breakups, bereavement, loss of job, YOU GOT THIS- it's alright. Now get your shit together and do something about it. Chicken liver is cause of Pulops fibroids in body. Also women who are MENOPAUSAL- avoid calcium supplements as they increase chance of HEART attack- get your VITAMIN D, K. Many people experiencing chest and head pains due to eating Chocolate nutella spread which has TOO MUCH SUGAR. Stress causes anxiety n chest pain aswell as memory loss. Pulmonary hypertension- plz watch DR berg videos on this n other health videos- Best investment you will ever make is in YOURSELF. AUSTIN GOH videos on unlocking heart arteries are life changing sanity saving, FREE healthy to watch. Something in there for everyone. Thank me later. He is 1 of the top people to listen to.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us please keep this up as we Brits really need to start using more of the mushroom 🍄 family and improving our health. So thank once again hope you keep going with seasonal mushroom's.
I'm a bit late to the party but this is literally the video I've been looking for! Been trying to cross reference trees with mushrooms all week to try and make my foraging easier and then BOOM! It's all there in this video! Thank you, Marlow. You're a star! :)
Top notch editing skills and a great 100th video Marlow! Thanks for the insights on which biological substrates we're most likely to find fungi growing. Special shout out to cameraman Eric too, navigating the treacherous forest floor and still capturing those mushroom money shots. True finesse.
Anything like this is really useful to know ! If things like panic buying and food shortages continue to get worse we will all need to be clued up on safe foraging!!!
This is just what I needed... I must get re skilled not de skilled..!! . When we were all gatherer hunters living within intact ecosystems we were much happier, freedom and equality works every time... The knowledge!!!! More more more... I'm a collapsatarian at heart... This teaching rocks! Auroch n roll!!!
Nibble your brittlegills alright, "just please don't swallow".. A week ago I was nibbling a red capped sickener to see how hot the zing was (wow yeah it was a spicy one) I even spat the tiny peice out (straight away), but only an hour later wen home wow did it activate something! Definitely cleaned me out that's for sure, only the rear but wow it was powerful.. I think they can be different strengths in different parts of de country, maybe a good laxative for when in need. But do spit it out y'all if it has to much a spice to it! Many blessing to wild food Uk for the knowledge yu bring... loved the video, great selection of mushroom to inspire the masses 🍄👌🍃
You are the most colourful addition to the woods nibbling mushrooms in your red jumper 🤗 Great video & I learned some. I mourn the end of this mushroom season, they sense frost approaching. This year has been great for Chanterelles & my favourite medicine for Winter blues ~ golden Sunshine. 2020 ~ what a year. Nice to have a some 'Golden Sunshine' put by for the long dark days. 🐱♏☯️🏴
This theme of video is really good and practical. There are a lot of little tips and tricks that are difficult to communicate without being out there and demonstrating it. As someone who is getting ready for a trip to the woods, I found this very useful. Thank you.
Foraging mushrooms in October is such a great fun!!! I love grabbing tasty mushrooms! Of course, we need to be careful of poisonous toadstools. Here at Island's Beauty, we don't have death caps - thankfully - but we do have the Sickener, and Turdtaste Russulas.
Comment to this comment is being shadow banned, can anyone sees it? Would it mention amanita muscaria mushrooms by any chance? Great mushroom, used widely in Nordic folklore and still now.
This is a fantastic intro to the joys of foraging for mushrooms. I did this for 5 years in Sweden with local experts. And yes caution always. Get to know a few really well. The chanterelle examples were not the best. Mine in August were apricot coloured a very clear to identify. A fantastic video. All the key learning points were touched on! Many thanks!
I recommend your back to basics series to everyone looking to get into foraging, they were fantastic so thank you for doing this! I echo the audio comments but I know you're handling that, and also if you haven't already, I'd very much say do beefsteak fungus jerky! It's great 😁 best way I've found to eat it as all other methods are lacklustre.
Awesome video! We are (as a family with our two children) absolutely loving and obsessing over foraging for mushrooms! And all the other amazing goodies sprinkled across the countryside. This video was super informative. Thank you!
That’s such a great video. The longer format is so so good. There’s really so little in-depth tuition like this (that’s this clearly explained) on TH-cam right now. Please do more
Sk nervous for correct identification but so interested too. Currently have some very large mushrooms growing in my greenhouse, believe this was from the b&q manure I put in there for my veggies would love to know if they are edible
Really glad your channel is progressing so much, it's time consuming but editing does make viewing much easier for us. Keep it up, genuinely charming content.
Thank you. First time here and I very much enjoyed what you’ve shown me. I’m in the North Eastern US in an area that produces a great deal of maple syrup so there are. High preponderance of maple trees. I do have a few oak one beech and one birch and will be watching in earnest.
I come from a country where mushroom picking is a very popular activity. I've lived in the UK for 12 years and I thought people didn't pick mushrooms here. Your video surprised me very positively :D. It's just beautiful weather and I'm going to the forest, maybe I can find something.
Yeah, East Europeans are picking everything, stripping our countryside and leaving with carrier bags full. Few even pick properly and damage the plant by yanking them out. Soon there will be no mushrooms to pick, and they'll blame someone else.
@@petersimmons3654 This is an interesting theory. 🤔 People where they come from have been collecting undergrowth for millennia and it is new every year
@@petersimmons3654 What a bizarre thing to have a xenophobic rant over haha. The mushroom is the fruiting body of the fungus, which isn’t damaged regardless of whether you cut it or yank it out or whatever. If you’re genuinely concerned about fungal conservation you should be far more worried about things like deforestation, mismanagement of woodlands by local councils, and the overuse of pesticides. The immigrants aren’t here to nick off with our mushrooms.
A fantastic presentation. I have only just started out on my mushroom journey and have identified my first, the Slippery Jack which is mostly a pine forest fungi. There I have come across other types that I have not identified or picked. I do need to spend more time in other woods with different trees to get to identify and eat some of the ones mentioned here. I will be looking at purchasing your pocket book if it also explains clearly the habitats of each and their identification marks and smells etc as you have done in the video. Thank you once again.
Here in the US we’ve just had rain and the temp just dropped....Some shaggy manes popped and I expect chicken of the woods and meadow mushrooms this week!
I've bought myself one of those foraging bags! It's the best thing I've bought! Saves a lot of carrier bags! 😃 Great for a casual foraging walk if you happen to find anything (which I'll always find something). 😃😁
Congratulations on your 100th viddy: I've really enjoyed watching many of them, and learned so much: its a fascinating hobby, and one that has huge rewards, both in terms of excellent nutrition and also healthy exercise and relaxation in the woods and fields.
Very interesting video. Thanks. Tip for Eric: you can fix the white balance on the camera (outdoor) to avoid colour changes in the video. Great job guys!
you might be colour blind he's wearing a red shirt with a mostly green background and you're seeing what you thinks looks like a 2D background? or the guys jumping out from the background and appearing like he's pasted onto an image?
This was amazing! Another use I found for my beefsteak fungus was marinating thin strips and making a beef jerky substitute in my dehydrator. As long as you get the marinade right, I highly recommend it!
@@yetanotherstronk Mine have all had a lovely bend and chew to them, I guess taking them out of the dehydrator before they go crispy is also a factor. This might not be viable for super long term storage but I take them out when they bend like leather. I also use honey and a little date syrup as the sweetener in my marinade as they aren’t likely to go brittle. I hope this helps 😊
Brilliant. You got yourself another subscriber. I really want to get into foraging. Back in Spring I made some nettle dishes which I was very pleased with. Nettles are easy though, I wouldn't be confident enough for mushroom picking.
My word your account is so interesting and informative!!
What an excellent video

i never thought that experiencing an insight into mushroom world would be as interesting as this!
really , really interesting! thanks.
love your videos! very informative, and your voice sounded pretty clear already.
Big up Croydon! Loved this vid
I've bought myself one of those foraging bags! It's the best thing I've bought! Saves a lot of carrier bags! 😃 Great for a casual foraging walk if you happen to find anything (which I'll always find something). 😃😁
Great editing 😉
Congratulations on your 100th viddy: I've really enjoyed watching many of them, and learned so much: its a fascinating hobby, and one that has huge rewards, both in terms of excellent nutrition and also healthy exercise and relaxation in the woods and fields.
What a fascinating video!
Very interesting video. Thanks. Tip for Eric: you can fix the white balance on the camera (outdoor) to avoid colour changes in the video. Great job guys!
My beat find ever was a cauliflower fungus. They are very delicious.
fully looks like you're standing infront of a green screen in the intro
totally got me too
you might be colour blind he's wearing a red shirt with a mostly green background and you're seeing what you thinks looks like a 2D background? or the guys jumping out from the background and appearing like he's pasted onto an image?
He needs to lower the f stop on his camera to distinguish himself from the background.
@@demontongue9893 No it's just the camera being silly
@@SH1T3RR0R It's actually worse: the camera is focusing on the background more than him. That's what's giving the impression of green screen.
Not even watched but the name alone made me subscribe 🤣
6 minutes in and im glad i subscribed
This was amazing! Another use I found for my beefsteak fungus was marinating thin strips and making a beef jerky substitute in my dehydrator. As long as you get the marinade right, I highly recommend it!
Do they go crunchy, or can you avoid that?
@@yetanotherstronk Mine have all had a lovely bend and chew to them, I guess taking them out of the dehydrator before they go crispy is also a factor. This might not be viable for super long term storage but I take them out when they bend like leather. I also use honey and a little date syrup as the sweetener in my marinade as they aren’t likely to go brittle. I hope this helps 😊
@@Nan0saur Thanks!
Fantastic foraging
Great video, kinda feels like I went foraging myself.
congrats on 100th video
I could watch this all day.. .thank you for this mate! I'd love to try beefsteak fungus
Excellent advice, thanks
Is it just me that thinks this guy looks like Chris O'Dowd off of IT Crowd?
I was thinking more Paul Whitehouse?
Joe swash
That’s why I clicked doh!
Thank you thank you thank you. It's been pissing off all video thinking who he looks like.
@@lpanayi6954 So glad someone thinks the same, he even sounds a lot like him
Nice! I've been looking for this kind of info for a while, and here you are! 😊 🍄🍄🍄
Brilliant. You got yourself another subscriber. I really want to get into foraging. Back in Spring I made some nettle dishes which I was very pleased with. Nettles are easy though, I wouldn't be confident enough for mushroom picking.
Great content, info and presenter !!
Much appreciated!
