This video has been heavily edited to the point of reducing it to incomprehensible nonsense to get it past the robots. Sorry about that. Please desist from naming the fun guy in question, just to be on the safe side (there's plenty of other vids on the subject on youtube so i'm a bit baffled) however, remarks akin to "Corr blimey, what a lovely mushroom" are most welcome. Happy foraging folks!
Mushroom foragers visit the park I work at, and often pick the few edible species they find. Yet the only people I trust for edible mushroom advice are the ones who return to the same spots each year. They are older ladies with exceptional good taste. They offer a class on identifying mushrooms, for botanical drawing, but not for consumption. That's above their paygrade.
In Germany they are officially called Spitzkegeliger Kahlkopf, but there are many old regional names. One of them is Zwergenmützchen which can translated to dwarf's hat.
It didn’t occur to me why you were taking your foraging disclaimer so seriously until a few minutes into to video lol Having just done a lot of foraging for edible mushrooms as a protein source for winter, this video is totally not what I was expecting, but I’m here for it 😂
Very informative, thank you for your very fun videos and kindness. These little marsh dwellers, small yet with a long history. If only I could visit there for a while and study the forests and make more friends... some day. Thank you again for your abilities to maintain the rock of ages, great story teller.
And you are absolutely correct, back in the day, at least one of my Irish or English folk, would know plants and fungi, very well. For food, medicine, etc. That information was shared thru time but has sadly been lost within the past four generations. It is a shame, really. We all may find ourselves in need for that lost information that we once knew.
Great bit of country you passed through on your forage. A keen eye is needed for a full basket of the right type. Take a Gong album cove for reference. Have picked, popped and Imbibed over the years. Had a Solo session on a BIG RED with WHITE spots, not to be feared and was a totally different "Experience". More Sorcery than Witchcraft. Thanks for a reminder, I will be spending time at my wood yard tomorrow and will Groucho Marx my way round the damp.
Golly Gosh my headphones kept playing up 😂 But it was OK as my addled old brain knew exactly what was missing! I remember the annual pilgramage to the roman fort up Hard Knot pass in the early 80's. How some of those old converted Bedford ambulances and trucks got up there always amazed me!
I enjoy your comments so very much . I wish you didn't have to cut out the names of these mushrooms. That is childish of the government to require you to silence the names. Your friend, Xavienne
Great video. Stupid fake law. I had a wonderful time picking little chap caps on moorland grass, and I once drove my truck, when I lived in Florida, into a horse field and parked up to go hunting and found I had parked right in a magic ring. Yes, a lot of fun and tea drinking was had
Didnt the early English (Anglo-Saxons) wear elf-like caps? And thanks for the naughty, esoteric knowledge >:D I totally won't be picking them 🌝 Great vid as usual
