How To Identify Wild Mushrooms

Porcini in Germany grow mostly close to spruce

Really helpful video. I was reading my first mushroom book the other day and it had a key which mentioned a lot of these features, super helpful to see them demonstrated in a video 🙂 thanks for sharing your knowledge

I feel like im on muchrooms lol you sound Scottish and English at the same time lol.

Just getting into fungus identification. Not brave enough to forage yet but just enjoying spotting and finding out about different types. So far have found Shaggy inkcap, Wood Ear, St George's mushroom, Turkey Tail and Dryad's Saddle.

Taking this video as inspiration for my next artwork 🤩🤩

Great, clear. Thank you!!

Thank you. You absolutely killed it with that detailed checklist. So hard trying to find a good guide to follow on a proper checklist

One of the best informative videos thanks👍 for resources as well

May I? I'd eat a little, wait for 24 hours (and to check spores colour) and then eat the lot.

I used tough stems for home made stock before (as haven't bought stock cubes for years, I learnt to boil leftover veg peelings- onion garlic root veg, anyveg, freeze or dry if can, to gather enough, then use these to boil twice - it works well). Then compost remains back in nature.
Good day

Thank you for this video. I just harvested about a kg of hedgehog mushrooms the other day. They go great in an omlette.

This is really useful thank you. 😊

Hi every that mushroom you show can eat ?

Great info. Thankyou. I will take this checklist out with me always.

I always love your videos. You come to me know when you explain things makes this something very fascinating and approachable.

Found some birch bolete & puffballs at the weekend, so tasty.

Thankyou for sharing.

Great video with great information! Thank You for sharing,GOD BLESS.

Great video. A physical checklist would probably be very useful rather than relying on my patchy memory in helping to remember identifying features 🤔🍄

Interesting lecture video. Thank you for sharing.

Great video mate 👏🏻

Perfect timing! Going in ny first official mushroom course today to further my knowledge and gain some new fungi friends 😊 had some delicious common puffball and shaggy parasol on toast the other day ❤

Great video but please tell us what we can and can’t eat thanks

Great video :) x

Where does one scavenge for psilocybine?

Thanks to your vids I was able to advise some friends today out on a walk at RSPB strumshaw fen, not to try and eat the earth balls!!! Love your videos and thank you so much

Cheers for this ❤

Hi Lewis, another great vid - and useful! Thank you :)

Amazing information as usual. Good work your knowledge is a great thing. Thanks for sharing

Found my first Boletes yesterday... nowhere near where i thought i would have found them. They were growing on a grass verge outside of a local gym. There was another species growing nearby which looked similar but the had gills and not pores also the stems were narrow on the others so i left those ones. Oh yeah and after watching your October foraging videos i also found a glut of sweet chestnuts too.

Phew ! Thank goodness for Aldi... great video though, just interesting to know their names and all about them, thanks for great advice 🍄

👍

Good to see a clear explanation - thank you! 20👍off to hunt porcini later (often found with Fly agaric). If foraging to eat (after the 100% ID process) check location hasn't been sprayed & only try a little as some folk are allergic.

Excellent video, very much appreciated 👍 Thank you. Looking forward to checking out last year's location for the Penny Bun this weekend. Hopefully, will find some👍

What a great video , thanks for sharing i apreciate it so soo sooo much ...i love foraging but mushrooms are frigtening they can be very danderous usually i take only what im sure its good or what i had before ...i learned a couple mushrooms from my grandma we used to go on fields and in the forest for mushroom hunting never had an issue with what she showed me

Some great tops for everyone there 👍

Hey mate I found my first hen of the woods the other day there was 3 massive ones under an oak tree. I took a small amount unfortunately I forgot about the frying pan as someone was at the door and burnt them😢

Great and clear advice!
