September Mushroom Foraging Course Highlights 

Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .

Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life. The drastically reduced my benzodiazepine withdrawal allowing me to quite illicit pill addiction after three years of heavy daily use before it would had became medically dangerous to quit. it has also helped me to survive depression

Amazing video…! Super educational, thank you!

Great video, I've only recently gotten into mushroom picking and this year has been the best in Ireland for ceps also. Just one thing, I think the brown birch bolete turns blue when cut and is fine to eat. I'm going to go and look for chanterelles at the weekend, thanks for the motivation!

Very helpful video & explained very well. Thank you for your information & advice. Look forward to watching more of your videos.👍

Wow I've never seen that many ceps growing in a field.

i have only seen one flush of penny buns. Is it over? does the same area flush many times until frost or is it only once?

I can't believe it Marlo, You've only gone and turned me into a groupie!

i found my first bunch of chanterelles today, that smell of apricots is 100% true, i found a range from small to large, around haldon forest in the south west uk, i left a few immature ones to spore for next year, woot!! oh they taste amazing!!!!

I found the beefsteak yesterday 🙌 😍

Love all of your videos 😍

What a wonderful foray

The bay bolete, imlaria badia, stains blue - so is one of the exceptions to the rule, and as he says, are just as delicious as porcini.

I'm so jealous seeing all the great mycological content from UK foragers this year. My area of Essex is still so dry and barren. Unbelievable field of B. edulis.

Ash and sycamore partner up with the spring shrooms: Morels It also saddens me to hear the "no red, no blue" rule. It removes some of the best edibles from the basket: Neoboletus erytropus, suillellus luridus, imleria badia.

Oh no most of them picked the old ones to take home because they are big in size when really it’s the young porcinis that are the best 😂😫

Thank you very much for your effort and the wonderful explanations. What I find disturbing is that the participants don't concentrate on you or the mushrooms, but are constantly filming or photographing with their mobile phones. Even though it's common nowadays, I find it careless and disturbing out in nature.

I'm listening in Montana USA. we have a course at university .Maybe when I'm truly retired . Bigstate long distance between towns. We've had forest fires. That's where I'll start. I need an app for cross reference of identity of species of my mushrooms. Shaggy mane ,Chantelle, chicken of the woods, puffballs and the brain one that scares me!

Love watching you but your wrong about amanita pantherina she's the best at curing many thing's along with amanita muscaria and regalia, I work with this beautiful mushroom.

Wow, all those penny buns!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, nothing quite beats the three-dimensional aspect and a clear idea of size so your videos are a great complement to even the most extensive mushroom book library 😊

nice video, ive been following you for a long time now and have learned loads, i love how you have broken down and simplified rules for edibles, keep up the great work.

QUALITY.

This video was so informative 😊 really enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next one ❤

Awesome video ! It's great to see, that all the mushrooms you presented in the video can currently be found in Southwest-Germany too. I'm in the forest whenever I find the time. The world of fungis is so exciting.

Great video as always 👍 I kept hearing someone interrupting who obviously thought they knew more. 🤣

¡¡¡Wow, I´ve never seen so many penny buns together in my whole life!!! I´ve been foraging mushrooms for more than 40 years in Spain, Austria, Germany and other countries and I can assure you that what is in this video is something truly exceptional and wonderful. Congratulations to the guide for the magnificent video and for his great didactic expertise when it comes to explaining the world of mushrooms.

Thank you, very good teaching of cognitive mushrooms.

Very good information. Too bad though that the image resolution is a bit low with 720p. It's not easy to see the details of some of the mushrooms.

What a fabulous finale, the most I've seen is two together just wow!

❤❤❤❤ the knowledge you have is outstanding….. the reassurance I have gained whilst foraging because of your clear descriptions and easy to absorb information has been the reason I now am addicted to spending every spare minute out in nature. Once intimidated by it all but slowing gaining the knowledge to reap the benefits and enjoy. Thank you

i dont know abour apricot but now that i have personally forraged chanterelles a few times. i am very familiar with thier very unique scent i have never encountered anything that smells quite like it. i truly belive i could pick a chanterelle out of a group of 10 blindfolded by scent alone.

Here in Pennsylvania nearly all chanterelles have their stems eaten through by worms- often quite small ones. Thankfully they are often very plentiful and still delicious even with worm holes! ( worms themselves are rarely encountered- only the worm holes) Never heard of any insecticide associated with chanterelles.

What a special day! I can tangibly feel the excitement of finding all those varieties of mushroom and in such profusion! Amazing! Guess I'll be booking a course for next September!

Love it , Marlow that you don't really enjoy truffles😁 , same with me ! - don't understand the fuss about those😅

Tried a few easily identifiable ones this year chicken of woods, macro, parasol and those er...little pointy ones i shouldn't mention. Would love to know the distinctive features off russula, boletes and others as i have seen a lot! The "wood mushroom" and similar look very indistinguishable from others of many different types. Hmm russula vs death cap is greatest worry. Very hard to identify some of these other ones ive seen like small flat blue ones. Many i see, books sometimes say not really worth it as 'bland' like some of the bright pink russulas that are edible but seems a shame to disturb if they taste of nothing.

I'm jealous that your chanterelles over there don't get buggy! Ours in the eastern US get chewed up pretty badly when they're not young.

Hi do you still do this foraging group? Id love to join and learn

I'd love to book a course unfortunately your fully booked in my area 😥

Woo! Love your vids :)

Great video, its cool to see that you are getting more comfotable speaking to larger groups of people, keep it up!

Nice video 🙂 did you find any liberty caps?

Great video. Are you planning on doing another video like this? I’d love to see it in 2023! Cheers guys.

I have found your videos very useful too. But I'm stuck on a fungi I found locally in West Cork. If I send you a picture can you identify it for me? Thanks

Thank you for inspiring me to forage mushrooms and greens. I feel like it's my new hobby.

Great and informative video. Thank you. Greting from Ireland.

2022 was the year of Porcini in lots of places, but this one is surreal!

For somebody trying to get into foraging mushrooms, this is gold! Very clear and easy to follow guidelines while covering a wide variety of mushrooms. I wonder if most of these grow in Sweden too. I'll find out soon ;) Keep these videos coming!

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend investing in a Rode Wireless Go II to improve your sound quality! For the quality improvment in sound it is a bargain.

dude you should have used finasteride and minoxidil to save your hair atleast 2 years ago. Like it took me 4 months to regrow all my diffuse thinning.

I am wondering if 2022 was a 'bolete year'. It was about four or five years ago we had one, and I was finding hundreds of bay boletes at PuddleTown, Dorset. Never seen as many as that year. They come around every four or five years. I thought it might be the case as I also found a huge patch of porcini, about 40 a couple of weeks ago.

Where would holly & hazel be on the scale for microrisal fungi?

Oh my god, I thought Porcini was supposed to be rare! And you stumbled upon probably close to 200! Insane! Even though I’m not in the UK, I still appreciate the tips and helpful advice, as I’m sure I can use it here in Colorado as well. Next year I’m going to make an effort to find some, not true porcini, but close enough that it wasn’t a separate species until 2014, the Boletus rubriceps. Just as good, but you do need to be wary. It has a red cap, so it should be positively identified before cooking and eating to make sure it is the Rocky Mountain Red Bolete, though this is fairly easy, as long as it doesn’t stain, it is a yummy mushroom. There is also a similar mushroom that I need to be wary of, the Aspen Bolete, that can give you an upset stomach. Thankfully, it is in the Leccinum family, so you aren’t just going by the color of the cap. Hope to be able to experience the fun of foraging soon!

Where are you located to find all of this porcini?

Where can I purchase the book you were referring to in this video, cheers

Leccinum Albostipitatum doesn't have a 'dirty, skirty stem'

50:00 you found Boletus reticulatus mycorrhyzing with oak tree. Boletus edulis is mycorrhyzing with spruce trees.

Fireman 🔥🔥🔥

@15:47 what the heck is that noise about? Great vid btw.

Bay bolete's are very easy to identify and is one of the most renowned boletes which turn blue. Telling people to avoid blue entirely will mean people will miss out on one of the best edible boletes. Other than that excellent vid.

At 14:33 nature told me that where he's standing , is where he usually rests his bycicle 😏 Thank You for sharing your knowledge 😇

If you want to spread spores put the mushroom on a branch .

Marlow, this was awesome!

Great video thanks .

I would have the opportunity to learn edible mushrooms in the forest

Penny Bunn's in my country are the most wanted mushrooms... Most expensive

awesome find....

That was incredible

Ah is that mr Fodi? I think he has given me some tips on msuk before!

A Dream!

Great vid as usual. Have to watch it in parts but comments so far,,, I found field blewits on grass near a cops of sycamore btw. And what about driads saddle for an edible polypore ? .. to be continued

Does anyone have a good use for pineapple weed as an air fresherener/cologne. I really love the smell. 👍

Why bags? Surely you should use whicker baskets which allow spore dispersal whilst you forage. They were a requirement in some parts of Europe. Please, no plastic bags. Great series though; informative and no rapid celebrity clips per sentence which is tiresome. Your series harks back to the earlier BBC reality documentaries. Most refreshing.

That was excellent

Thanks for your videos.

1:14:19 she stood on a porcini

What the hell is that quality 💀

Can't hear you;

Yes love these videos

That’s crazy

Is it legal to charge people for nature? Within Section 4 (Property) of the Theft Act (1968) (England and Wales only, though similar in Scotland) you will find the following:

I found a beautiful patch of mushrooms in a ground bed of ivy. But they smelled of ‘Chemical/glue’ as I cooked them. So I threw them out....after a little taste. Weird tasting too. Is it dangerous to eat such fungi?

JUST LIKE YOUR POCHINI FIELD...I ONCE SAW BACK IN THE 80s UK A WHITE OUT OF FIELD MUSHROOMS. HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS AROUND 300 SQ YARDS OF FIELDS..I COULD NOT SEE THE GRASS FOR CAPS, EVEN WHEN I STOPPED MY MOTOR AND WALKED INTO THE FIELD...THE TWO FIELDS LOOKED LIKE A WINTERS SNOWFALL..."WOW"!...A STAND OUT MEMMORY IN MY LIFE..NOW 70...

Heather- take a deep breath, let the grown up speak, count to ten, let nature take it's course....

Thanks for sharing the wisdom :)
