Hi there 👋 I used to gather mushrooms in Ukraine. That was my passion 😊 but after relocating to UK, I live in District Lake, can't find mushrooms at all. Nice forest behind you. What do you think is it any chance to find some in May?
I saw a few St. George's mushrooms yesterday but I tend to only search in the late Summer and Autumn since that's when the types I like best come up. Last year there were no Porcini in any of the spots where I had previously found them and I didn't find any in any other likely places either. It's crazy that it can go from a bounty like I show in this video to nothing at all the next year. If we get another hot, dry Summer then a wet early Autumn it should be good. In the Lake District there are lots of ancient woodlands and they will be the best places to hunt - look for woods with mature Beech, Oak and Silver Birch trees and I wish you the best of luck on your hunts.
Last year was the first year where there were lots of Penny Buns - usually there are only a few but last year they were in most woods. I'm up in the Derwent valley and all the hardwood forests had a good amount of fungi in. I saw plenty of people hunting further down the valley at the woodlands centre between Rowlands Gill and Winlaton when I was passing in the car and some of them looked Polish which is a good sign. They are woods I've not hunted but they are quite popular every year.
I live about 15 miles West of Newcastle up in the Derwent valley and to be fair there was a nation of fungi in every woodland in the valley last year. Judging by what other people have posted it was a particularly good year for edible fungi in late Summer / early Autumn last year up and down the country and all the way into Scotland too. I could give you exact locations and this year there may be none - that's just the way it goes so I'll be searching all over again this year.
Hello, I’m following your mushroom hunting movies on RUclips. I going to travel to Scotland from Oxfordshire for porcini hunting and would like to ask few questions. What would be the best way to contact you? Thank you
By phone is the best way on 07772848730. I'm away until Thursday but any time after that is fine. I'm not in Scotland but if I can help then I will no worries.

I definitely think that people drew or wrote about what they actually saw and there are so many stories from around the world about trolls, imps, gnomes, cryptid creatures and all manner of entities existing in and out of our plane that there has to be truth to it. Unfortunately we're so limited by our abilities to see, hear and feel the other realms now that we're effectively living in a fake 'reality' - basically almost everything mainstream is 180 degrees from the truth and it's only when we have experiences classed as 'paranormal / supernatural' that we start to wake up. I'm very much of the opinion that supernatural and paranormal are natural and normal but we have lost our way - however, the last 2.5 years have woken many people up so the great awakening will hopefully crush the (not-so) great reset. We need a greater reset and an archaic revival but that relies on people actually doing something themselves and the majority are extremely lazy which is the only reason it could fail.

Ha ha. I just mentioned in your first video about maybe taking your wheelbarrow, so now I think a supermarket trolley 😃
It's been a crazy year for sure.
Great harvest buddy🤘
Wow, an even better haul this time. I also think that you need a bigger basket!😂
I think so too but normally there's bugger all in the woods, lol

Where do you recommend, i go to find Penny Bun mushrooms in north east ? Thanks for any advice you have

@@vitaliylupulyak8802 No worries and best of luck when you get out hunting.
Where in uk??
