Drying Mushrooms And Rutting Deer 

I just love this channel. The combination of nature, technology, funny and interesting explorations of all kinds makes it ideal viewing. Thank you for your willingness to share a part of what must be a life full of curiosity and varied endeavors.

I love the naturalistic diversity in this channel's uploads

Really nice that you spotted and filmed the Fallow bucks. And from a complete novice thanks for such a well structured talk through cep identification.

Just discovered your channel because the scammer videos, but i must say i enjoyed this even more! It was so wholesome and educative, can't wait to see more.

In Poland we make dumplings filled wirh dryed Wild mushrooms like this with sour cabbage. The best dish ever.

Silica packets in the jar lid is genius! Never seen someone do that before.

Really enjoy the mushroom foraging, I'm giving it a go this year but I'm yet to find a single one.

Your videos are so simple and wholesome yet so educative! Since I'm only a freshman, your videos hold a lot of advice for life later on, such as preserving, drying and observing specimens, thank you. I appreciate your videos greatly.

Always a pleasure to watch and I watch all your adverts to help

Putting silica gel packets in the lid is genius!

Excellent video as always, you should definitely do some more dehydration vids, very useful devices especially when supermarkets reduce items to ridiculously low prices. I live right on the edge of the New Forest and I’d love to have the confidence to go out and pick some porcini mushrooms, take them home and dehydrate them, they taste amazing but are so bloody expensive!

I probably could never experience foraging but seeing this makes me happy

Eva's excitement for those Deer❤️

I’m relatively new to this channel so I didn’t realize that there was a “before” the dryer. It seems to have been a really great purchase

Utterly fascinating. I have never seen a mushroom like that before. And the colours on that huge mushroom were amazing

Central Market on Lovers Lane Road in Dallas TX, has over twenty varieties of mushrooms daily. Beef, mushrooms and burgundy (claret) wine are a real winner on our table. Enjoyed your endeavors, TYVM!

I'm glad you use editing like that so sparsely. Very impactful when used.

Good lord, I haven't had a fulfilling ceps season in my area for several years, and this video is making me salivate all over my keyboard.

those cute deer look delicious, with the shrooms mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm great vids love all your work thanks for sharing

When I was young, I loved searching for mushrooms in the woods behind my nana's house. You've taken me back all those years ^_^

Wow! I'm SO EXCITED to watch you reviewing that dehydrator. If it's good I'll get one. Sadly, by now it costs £47, almost double... Good to know, Amanitas and Ceps grow close by

I was always suprised that foraging is not really popular in the west. The "silent hunt" is really popular family activity - you pick some mushoorms, have fun in the fresh air of the forest, go back home and cook the mushooms with potatoes.

These are the types of videos I watch when I cant fall asleep...They're so calming and whilesome...

Just binging all your videos (oldest first) and you are so knowledgeable, you make me want to get out into the woods and also try lots of odd foods, so much so I’ve placed an order with an oriental supermarket! The deers were amazing.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Shrimp! I ran out of silica packs so I used rice.. Works like a charm..😊 Thanks a lot! 👍👍

Just love the foraging and the drying! Great deal on that dehydrator. I save the desiccant packets from my seaweed sheets and such to put in with my dried foods as well.

Muchroom gathering and drying is the national sport of Poland

Deer god that was beautiful !

Boletus edulis (and other boletes, i.e Leccinum scabrum) actually tend to grow near birch trees in autumn, which I often use as an indicator :)

The silica gel sachets in the jar lid.... love the simple brilliance in that

I like your jar mod with the gel packets. Very clever.

Hi, wow what a brilliant video ☺ Thanks.

Risotto with porcini is delicious 😋

Interesting. Most boletus (or is that boleti) in some parts of Sweden contains trace amounts of caesium-137 since the Chernobyl "accident" in 1986. Some of them are not recommended to eat in large quantities for that reason. I do like penny bun soup though, and slippery jack is nice when fried in lots of butter.

17:29 glad to see I’m not the only one that squirrels those silica gel packets 😝 Also that jar is brilliant idea!

Nice video as always but...as an east european Im mushroom foraging since I was able to walk and there were some mistakes...now I know Im 2 years late but I want to help...its better for the forest when you just cut off the mushroom and leave the bit that was in soil there so the connection wont be damaged and I think it can regrow( Im not sure as thats only what my grandparents and parents used to say..I mean the regrowing thing XD).Also if you didnt take that mushroom because it'll expand its colony thats fine but if you were scared of the taste dont be there is minimal difference in flavour...And Im not sure if this is good or not but we usually wash our mushrooms because you never know if something didnt use a potty near it...I Also recomend taking the spores of the older mushrooms...to me it has no special flavour but its just a recommendation..Now my english is not best so if something sounds offensive Im sorry I only want to help and this all is just a recommendation from someone that goes mushroom foraging for the whole season 12 years in a row

It turns out I was taught safety well as a North American child, because at first glance I thought the fallow deer was a moose and I felt all of my muscles tense up at once, in preparation to run away 😳

Great video . Thank you

My daughter is called Holly and she can be poisonous too lol

Great video and your knowledge shines through. For us non-foragers is there any gain in drying the fresh mushrooms from the supermarket - portobello, chestnut, closed cup etc.? Thanks.

Always carry a knife when foraging and just clean the mushrooms as you pick them. Don't bring dirt from the forest into your kitchen.

*Thinking back to the dehydrated burger episode* This was the day it all went wrong.

I see a TON of Jews ear or Elf ear mushrooms here. I've never picked them, but apparently they taste horrid unless you dry them and then use them in soups or as a garnish for noodles ect. A place near me has a grove of trees that burst out concrete from an old car park and they're all just littered with them.

idk if youll see this, but why pick the young ones, instead of letting them grow and picking it later? is it a different taste? is there just a good chance it wont grow to maturity?

The mushroom drying is so cost effective. Coles and Safeway (Woolworths) price gouge up to AUD$6 for a small punnet of Porcini.

Hi there . Great video . Have you ever tried putting porcini and chanterelle in frying pan and making mushroom source ? Seems to waist all the flavours but again never tried drying them . Thanks

Always interesting

Never Again! :)

Envious of your ceps. I never find them grub-free.

Yes dried it does, to food it will. Brill.

That dryer beeps more then a dam microwave lolol

Yellow cap mushroom isn't mature SEP it's boletus. 6 types of baletus mushrooms exist. SEP it's a king of mushrooms baletus probably second after SEP. But my favourite mushroom - Chanterelle! Other mushrooms just can't stand against😄

4:22 SAFFRON!

For the discussion about the Roots... I heard that you can turn the mushrooms out so you would not take any Roots on it with you. But just with porcinis and some others. I also heard that you should cut most mushrooms off at the very bottom. For example you can’t get some Mushrooms which are growing on trees without cutting them off.

Have you ever picked or eated Oak acorns?

Is your dehydrator still working properly?

fun fact if you prepare the amanita's correctly you don't get stomach cramps

How come you don't wash the mushrooms first?

i still get some money aside for a dehydrator i want it so bad

Just an advice: U should cut off those shroomies from the bottom so u can expect to find them next year in the same place but twice as much. if u pull all the roots out , nothing is left for them to multiply

I thought you can't pick mushrooms in the UK? I'm from Poland and mushroom picking is a part of the culture here and some Polish guys in England got penalised by doing that?

I know this is an old video but for future reference if you don't already, don't pull mushrooms out of the ground, as it's not good for them. Bring a knife when you forage and cut them off as to not disturb the mycelium and maybe give the mushrooms a better chance of growing back.

you really should leave the roots of mushroom in the soil it helps the regrowth a lot. in italy is illegal to take the roots with you...just for information

I thought it said dying mushrooms and rotting deer. Breh

Are you in the new forest

you should be carefull with deers they could get afraid of you and can attack

damn what a waste to dry those Porcini's, they taste amazing when fried with butter.

Your funny

Thought that was psilocybin for a minute

Why do you eat the spunge on these?!?!

So if I take the red ones Ill hallucinate, sounds like a challenge to me

She would be a good dog to fetch a bird you hunted

How sad the mushroom managed to make it through without being infested with maggots and then it gets ripped out the ground and dehydrated to death. #freetheshrooms

Why dry them I'd eat them

Not going to watch this, I would like to know how to dry mushrooms, but I don't want to rut a deer thankyouverymuch..

These are the types of videos I watch when I cant fall asleep...They're so calming and whilesome...
