I started off really enjoying the walk-about in the woods, to being impressed with your knowledge to being completely confused and wanting to leave mushrooms well alone, lol. Great vid though, and editing! Cheers.
I don't think I've actually commented on a RUclips video for about eleven years - much like toxic russulas, comments sections can get a bit spicy for me. But it's worth breaking the habit here to congratulate you on your 100th video. I came to your channel for the plants, and ended up catching your enthusiasm for mushrooms too, of which I previously had none. I've learned a lot from your website as well, and have used it as a great source whilst learning to forage over the past 18 months or so. So thanks a lot, Wild Food UK, I really appreciate your work :)
Ahhhh. This takes me back to Octobers in the late 80s and early 90s. Spent all day foraging around golf courses of Surrey and Hampshire for Liberty Caps and spent all night jumping the moon on rainbow coloured unicorns.
Note to self: V good video. Beech, oak and birch = best trees for foraging shrooms. Grass = good for spring and summer. Moss = good. Useless trees for shrooms = Ash, rhododendron, maples. 14:44 to 17,00 = beefsteak = on sweet chestnut or oak hosts. Sour taste. 27:58 to 28,41 = Amethyst deceiver. Purple gills = essential info. If creamy buff = poisonous. 29:50 to 31,18 = Chanterelle. If yellowish pale orange outer, then flesh when cut MUST be white. If inner = same as outer colour = poisonous.
As an very amateur mycophile - I know my families pretty well for the most part - I found this utterly enthralling. What an enjoyable and fact-packed video. Top marks, mushroomy mister.
Really enjoyed this episode, warm, friendly tone and pace. Accessible information without drowning in detail. Never watched any of your stuff before. Enjoyed so much that I've liked & subscribed. Thank you.
I absolutely love your videos! I live in Washington State in the U.S. and many of the mushies on your videos are ones I encounter here, often. all of the edibles you cover have been so helpful for a beginning forager. Your knowledge makes me very confident that I’m getting good, usable information in the field. And as I am a visual learner, just reading books isn’t enough for my brain. I wish you and your family all the health during these hard times and I’m so very grateful that you’re still putting out more videos. I’ve watched all of your “back to basics” videos dozens of times!! Thank you!!
Just catching up with all these, although I have seen a few before. such a refreshing change from some of the online groups. Friendly and fascinating and beautifully accessible. And a lovely style. Thank you so much and happy foraging. Best wishes, Rick
Great video. You do need to sort the white balance out on your camera. Would like to see the details/colours of the mushrooms properly. Could be deadly otherwise
Amazing and wonderful. I have watched many mushroom videos, but you combine your knowledge, experience, passion and personal charm into a most enjoyable, informative and useful presentation that will last. Thank you.
I recently got interested in mushroom foraging, and it is nice to see someone from the UK doing this. You explain things nicely, and you give great advice.
You are the most colourful addition to the woods nibbling mushrooms in your red jumper 🤗 Great video & I learned some. I mourn the end of this mushroom season, they sense frost approaching. This year has been great for Chanterelles & my favourite medicine for Winter blues ~ golden Sunshine. 2020 ~ what a year. Nice to have a some 'Golden Sunshine' put by for the long dark days. 🐱♏☯️🏴
Really glad your channel is progressing so much, it's time consuming but editing does make viewing much easier for us. Keep it up, genuinely charming content.
Nibble your brittlegills alright, "just please don't swallow".. A week ago I was nibbling a red capped sickener to see how hot the zing was (wow yeah it was a spicy one) I even spat the tiny peice out (straight away), but only an hour later wen home wow did it activate something! Definitely cleaned me out that's for sure, only the rear but wow it was powerful.. I think they can be different strengths in different parts of de country, maybe a good laxative for when in need. But do spit it out y'all if it has to much a spice to it! Many blessing to wild food Uk for the knowledge yu bring... loved the video, great selection of mushroom to inspire the masses 🍄👌🍃
Hi Marlow. I just wanted to thank you for your channel and content. I don't think I've learned so much in so little time since finding your channel a couple of weeks ago. I'm about 90% through all of your vids and will be going back through multiple times I'm sure. Please keep sharing your knowledge, it's absolutely fascinating. I'm keeping an eye on your Foraging Courses page on your website too, hoping a course is bookable soon! Thanks mate 👍
I'm a bit late to the party but this is literally the video I've been looking for! Been trying to cross reference trees with mushrooms all week to try and make my foraging easier and then BOOM! It's all there in this video! Thank you, Marlow. You're a star! :)
Foraging mushrooms in October is such a great fun!!! I love grabbing tasty mushrooms! Of course, we need to be careful of poisonous toadstools. Here at Island's Beauty, we don't have death caps - thankfully - but we do have the Sickener, and Turdtaste Russulas.
Comment to this comment is being shadow banned, can anyone sees it? Would it mention amanita muscaria mushrooms by any chance? Great mushroom, used widely in Nordic folklore and still now.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us please keep this up as we Brits really need to start using more of the mushroom 🍄 family and improving our health. So thank once again hope you keep going with seasonal mushroom's.
Top notch editing skills and a great 100th video Marlow! Thanks for the insights on which biological substrates we're most likely to find fungi growing. Special shout out to cameraman Eric too, navigating the treacherous forest floor and still capturing those mushroom money shots. True finesse.
Hi, really new to this subject. Being forced to explore my local woodland during the covid lockdown has made me discover the kingdom of the mushrooms! You and atomic shrimp are my go to channels so thankyou for making it simple and easy for even a beginner like me to understand. Thankyou 🍄🙂
It’s the Kingdom of the Mushrooms that has kept covid going for over two years. Especially the ones that drive around wearing a mask alone in their car. The average fungus has more brains than that.
Thank you. First time here and I very much enjoyed what you’ve shown me. I’m in the North Eastern US in an area that produces a great deal of maple syrup so there are. High preponderance of maple trees. I do have a few oak one beech and one birch and will be watching in earnest.

Congratulations on your 100th video! I appreciate how much effort that takes! That was quite a diversity of mushrooms in one spot. It's interesting to compare the seasons and species from your spots in the UK to what I see here in Oregon and other places I go. I have found Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreus) on dead Ash trees in the eastern US, and my parents in Arkansas just found some Ash-tree Boletes (Boletinellus merulioides) by one of their Ash trees. Both are edible mushrooms. Even the inedible fungi are fascinating. Enjoy your autumn mushrooms!
Awesome video! We are (as a family with our two children) absolutely loving and obsessing over foraging for mushrooms! And all the other amazing goodies sprinkled across the countryside. This video was super informative. Thank you!
Brilliant. You got yourself another subscriber. I really want to get into foraging. Back in Spring I made some nettle dishes which I was very pleased with. Nettles are easy though, I wouldn't be confident enough for mushroom picking.
I've bought myself one of those foraging bags! It's the best thing I've bought! Saves a lot of carrier bags! 😃 Great for a casual foraging walk if you happen to find anything (which I'll always find something). 😃😁
I recommend your back to basics series to everyone looking to get into foraging, they were fantastic so thank you for doing this! I echo the audio comments but I know you're handling that, and also if you haven't already, I'd very much say do beefsteak fungus jerky! It's great 😁 best way I've found to eat it as all other methods are lacklustre.
Congratulations on your 100th viddy: I've really enjoyed watching many of them, and learned so much: its a fascinating hobby, and one that has huge rewards, both in terms of excellent nutrition and also healthy exercise and relaxation in the woods and fields.
Sk nervous for correct identification but so interested too. Currently have some very large mushrooms growing in my greenhouse, believe this was from the b&q manure I put in there for my veggies would love to know if they are edible
What's your view on the amethyst deceiver and bioaccumulation of arsenic? This used to be one of my favourite little fungi but I was warned off eating it as apparently it has this tendency - more so apparently even than its close relatives in the same genus
I started off really enjoying the walk-about in the woods, to being impressed with your knowledge to being completely confused and wanting to leave mushrooms well alone, lol. Great vid though, and editing! Cheers.
