An enchanting film from an enchanted forest! 🌿💚 With beautiful music accompanying you along the way, and what a delicious looking meal Dan cooked. 😋
Delighted you enjoyed it. Thank you ☺️
What a fairyland you live in. Just gorgeous. Thanks for the outing.
Glad you enjoyed it. You survived 🤣
@@NearbyVeggies You card, you. lol
@vivalaleta ☺️
Oh my heavens…I just loved that walk!! I felt like I was right there beside you…a forest is my favourite place to be…thank you for that. I just love your videos. Hugs from Kent 🇬🇧🥰🥰❤️
That’s lovely to read, Lesley. Thank you ☺️
Wonderful walk Meraid! Thanks for taking us along. And the dinner Dan made looks so tasty!
Thank you. Dinner was delicious 😋
What a wonderful video Meraid thank you! It was like entering an enchanted place.
Thank you so much ☺️
Beautiful forest,such lovely to watch nature and you be able to get those beautiful mushrooms 😊
Yes they are! Thank you 😊
Lovely walk with you, Meraid, foraging for mushrooms. Nice haul, they look good all cooked up, and even yummiest in your pasta. 🤗
Thanks so much, Ruth. The parasols aren’t the tastiest but it’s great to see them and know that the really good mushrooms are coming. 😊
Beautiful woods...💕
Yes they are. Thank you 😊
That was such a beautiful video. I love fungi. They are very beautiful. "You've always got to be learning." That line speaks to my heart because I was a teacher and learning is life to me. Thank you for sharing your mushroom hunting. Saludos desde Asturias.
Thank you. Learning something new every day is a beautiful thing. Appreciate your lovely comment 😊
Oaks, the acorns are edible IF the tannins are soaked off. I did this last autumn, and after soaking, rinsing for roughly 5 days, I got the nut meat to make muffins and add to bread after toasting, grinding. They've got a mild taste.
You might find a truffle or two if you look carefully.
It's worth the time just meandering through the forest on a clear, crisp day.
Enjoy your mushrooms.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you Meraid for such a lovely walk! 🎉 I love the autumn in Portugal ❤
Thank you for sharing your enjoyment. Autumn and spring are my favourite seasons. ☺️
Wooohooo!!! I had a blast exploring the forest with Meraid😍
Hope Dan doesn't find out lol
Delighted to know you enjoyed our walk. 😊
The woodland is beautiful.
It’s stunning at this time of year. Thank you 😊
Amazing Video We had mushrooms all summer here in Ireland As we got so much rain Love all your videos Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤️
Wonderful. A lot of rain here too at the moment. Go raibh maith agat.
Your hat is awesome ❤
Thank you so much for sharing another video with us. Ur walk through the woods reminded me of the many walks i used to take as a teen looking at nature n being spell bound by the sound of a babling brook n the silent of the occasional bird n the sounds of the trees. Thanks . I washed my eyes with ur video n my Soul was refreshed.
Well, that warmed my heart ❤️
Thank you for letting us join you. It's horrible wet and dull here in Nottinghamshire, so I really enjoyed every minute of your walk. Must admit I would be terrified of picking the wrong mushroom's 😂 Dan dinner looked so yummy as usual🎉 love having seeing you guys living your best life ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing.
I love your hat
Thank you. It’s a great hat for the cooler season 😊
@@NearbyVeggies Шляпа - ерунда , сапоги - супер.
Thank you. I love my boots. 👍
I have a fascination for Mushrooms since ever! I think they are fabulous looking, tasteful, smart (yes!), and so 'Alien'! One of my favourite foods, for sure! I love to watch your videos, it gives me the impression I'm back there! Love the scents and scenery in the forest! Take care!
You and me both! 🤗
🌟👍🍀💐
Thank you for sharing those precious moments!!!
Any time. Thank you for watching 😊
Hi Meraid and Dan! This comments is for help with the boars as they dont like human scent. Some of my favorite tricks to keep the deer out of my yard is to place human hair in nylon stockings and I hang them around the perimeter of my gardens go to a hairdresser and ask them for large bag as It keeps for a while. I also use plastic containers with lids and use a punch holes with a paper hole punch on the lid, and then I fill it with some mothballs and a small stone for weight and place them on a circle of flat stones ( so they are off the ground for ground water to run under) and place these in areas around. Helps to keep the rabbits a away.
And this one is for Meraid, I buy lots of Irish spring soap and I put those into a nylon stocking and hang them on a stick or a branch on a tree around the property. They last for a long time and continually give off a scent that I feel helps with my gardens.❤
Welcome along, Teresa. Thank you for the tips and a little bit about yourself and your plans 😊
We publish videos almost every Saturday and right now it’s almost winter. We have lots of footage during last winter so you can see what we harvest and also what the weather is like. Cold but no freezing daytime temperatures. Oh, that Irish Spring Soap has nothing to do with Ireland, a marketing ploy I think 😂
Delightful
Thank you 😊
I love Cogumelos, I saw some on my walk last Sunday here in Wales. You obviously know your mushrooms as for me I’m not so knowledgeable and let M&S pick the edible ones for me. ❤ your videos.
I love looking at mushrooms. I know some and that I can eat and buy some from a grower at our local market. Hope you enjoyed your walk in Wales. 😊
Adorei o seu passeio 😂o jantar devia de estar uma delícia.Continuem a ser felizes.❤
O jantar estava delicioso 😋 Obrigada
😅😅😅 there's some phallic mushrooms in those woods!
There are 🤣
Beautiful colours in the opening shots ❤ x
The sunlight came and went and when the rays got through, the colours were indeed beautiful 🥰
our quite big property here in Germany is currently also full of mushrooms of all kinds, but I have no idea what they are and wouldn't dare try any of them. Wish I’d know more about them …
Sometimes there are courses to guide you through learning about mushrooms. Having an expert walk with you showing one or two mushrooms and explaining all the different parts could be a great start. Thanks for watching 😊
Belo passeio na floresta...nesta altura do ano transmite uma beleza e tranquilidade que me deslubran ❤❤
Obrigada 🤩
How beautiful is that forest. I enjoyed watching this so much, you really are so clever the way you understand the earth and flowers etc, loved this video.❤
Thank you for sharing your enjoyment, Jacqueline 😊
I love your video. It is a pity that one can transmit smell. I love going on mushroom hunt. Here in Germany we also have beeches, that means we get yellow boletus or porcini. Sometimes they grow under oaks. My nose starts to quiver when I smell one. They are more difficult to find because they are not as exposed as parasols.
We have porcini growing at our Quinta. Love the smell of the forest. Managed to pick some yesterday👍
@@NearbyVeggies Boletus Edulis прекрасный выбор .
Yes 👍
Thank you for taking us on this walk.
Delighted you enjoyed it 😊
Loved everything and especially the last image. Yummy ❤❤
Thank you, Martine. Dinner was yummy 😋
Loved this.
Thank you 😊 Enjoyed making this video too.
That was a very sweet episode, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
I loved the music you have chosen for this video (and I immediately thought that Coimbra guitars sound could also be fantastic for these landscape). I really enjoyed watching
Glad you enjoyed it. I think you’re right, Coimbra guitars could be lovely 😊
These mushrooms are delicious grilled with coarse salt
They are indeed 😋
I just love how much you and your guy love nature. It's so akin to my own sensitivities, I wish I was there to sketch the different mushrooms in your fields. Please please please please please please. Be careful with the mushrooms, I live in the Pacific Northwest where people who are educated in mushrooms and such there's always somebody dying once the year. I would hate to lose you guys.
Do you have a patreon page?
How wonderful that you enjoy sketching fungi. They are so beautiful. We do indeed love Nature and we’re careful. We eat what we know is safe.
We don’t have a patreon page yet. I suppose we’re not sure what we could offer to patreons. Any suggestions?
We collected mushrooms across the country side in Howick S Africa as a child, my mom used salt as a test for poisonous mushrooms , i think if they do not pop out beads of water they were deemed poisonous, can’t remember , mom was confident and we never got sick
Always good to make sure you have an expert check and identify mushrooms. 👍
Beautiful forest. And mushrooms are stunningly beautiful...magical almost. Lashing down here in Ireland so I'm going to call that my walk for the day! 🙂
Agreed..stunningly beautiful in the forest picking mushrooms😊
Lashing here too. Laundry piling up 😂
Thank you
So nice I hope you enjoyed the food
The food was delicious 😋
То что вы собрали и пожарили, в моей стране, обычно пинается ботинком и никому не приходит в голову это съесть. . В моем регионе сбором грибов занимаются почти все( для личного потребления и как хобби).Это там, где ваш супруг увидел на рынке чурчхелу. Мне стало любопытно и я поискал что растет у вас в Португалии. Amanita-dos-césares, Boletos Edulis, Cantharellus cibarius, Lactarius deliciosus - прекрасные грибы первой категории. По поводу "зонтиков"... В Португалии их сушат , мелко измельчают и добавляют в блюда для запаха. Я считаю это пищевым извращением, но это мое мнение. Шампиньоны выращенные на конском говне и купленые в маркете я тоже не ем. На 2-29 - это "поддубник", можно отварить, воду слить и замариновать. На 6-00 скорее всего "белая сыроежка". Но могут быть варианты .... может быть "белый груздь" , может быть " скрипица" (она скрипит при трении о зубы). Неопытному грибнику лучше не брать пластинчатые грибы . Кроме " рыжиков" - их ни с чем не перепутаешь и они королевские грибы , хотя португальцы больше ценят "цезарский" гриб. Губчатыми грибами отравиться сложно , первый признак не съедобного гриба = изменение цвета разреза на розовый ( синий - можно есть) и розоватый цвет губки . Это "желчный гриб" или "сатанинский", но он просто очень горький , не токсичный, просто испортит все блюдо. Все остальное на видео я бы не стал собирать и пробовать .
Thank you for the information. Dan mentioned that he had the best mushrooms around the time of the churchkhela. 👍
Oh my. Mushrooms have been really prolific here in Oregon this year. Unfortunately, I don't know a thing about identifying them. I'll get mine from the store to be safe. Call me chicken. It's okay. I'll leave the wild ones for my friends who are educated in that area.
Always good to be safe. You can always enjoy looking at them 😊
Absolutely!!@@NearbyVeggies
👍
Maravilhoso
Obrigada 🤩
Thanks!
Thank you. Your generosity is very much appreciated. 🥰
Is the oak forest on your land? I hope so because it is lovely.
It is a young forest and there was once a stone wall. A former pasture perhaps?
It’s a woodland between our land and the rental house. There are lots of walls as it’s on a hillside. The land was probably farmed in times gone by. 😊
Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
Qué ricas!!!!
Obrigada ☺️
Hi, if you go to the pine forest you will find "miscaros" which are better than mushrooms and can even be preserved in vinegar
I have looked for them but we seem to be surrounded by the pine trees used for resin and not a great deal grows on or under them. I’ll keep looking. 👍
@@NearbyVeggies eu penso que a época dos miscaros é agora no mês de novembro, eles só crescem onde tem pinheiros mas é mais difícil encontrar porque eles são mais pequenos.
Obrigada ☺️
Hello! People in Portugal don't pick mushrooms that much, only certain species, mostly because peoiple don't know them well. With my ex-girlfriend, from the Alps, picking mashrooms used to be an real orgy, as no one picked them, there. They had all the time to grow and no one would pick them. I remember the first time she saw a 'Chanterelle' bigger than a cigaret packet. She took a photo and told me her parents would never believe her, if she didn't took the photo. Eucalyptus, changed a lot the biotope and the soil, in just a few years , from Oak to Eucalyptus > no good!
ps And in 'Cintra' (Endemic and ancient forest) mushroon picking just became ridiculous, each time we went there (almost all year around!)
Wow. Great story. Thank you 😊
My wife loves your hat ! what is it and where did you get it ?
The hat is made from leather and hand made in Portugal. I bought it last year on a trip to Seia.
Loved it so much! Are you from Ireland originally?
Thank you. I’m from Donegal 😊
@@NearbyVeggies That’s why you are so charming❣️🍀
@debbieretzlaff2912 Too kind ☺️
Does it mean when parasol mushrooms are flat there past it and shedding seeds, and if so can u collect the seeds?
You can take the stem and plant it in an a place where you have ants and they will grow. That’s what we did as we had none growing on our land. Also you can break the cap, and place bits, gills facing towards the earth in an open undisturbed area of land and the spores (seeds) could be realeased and grow. Be sure to only take some, not all mushrooms from an area. 😊
On les appelle des coulemelles. A ne pas confondre avec le coprin
I would be careful eating some of them mushrooms.
Yes, it’s important to be careful. 👍
Wow I would be terrified to eat anything like these ones here in Australia, we have very toxic ones here, they kill you
We have deadly mushrooms here too but we only eat what we know 😊
How do you know they aren’t toadstools?
I don’t know what every mushroom is and only eat the ones I can identify as edible. I take others home to study them and learn about them so I can identify them in future.
Eucalyptos> no mushrooms as they takle all the nutrients in no time, mostly, only Acacia and Mimosa manage to survive!
And the soil is too acidic, with Eucalyptus, for mushrooms!
That is true. Nothing seems to live in the eucalyptus. You don’t even hear birds. 🥲
