Thank you. Signs are good that it could be a fantastic autumn for fungi - so hopefully there will be more like this to come.

@@AtomicShrimp Any chance of more Limited Budget videos coming out ?

@@AtomicShrimp Do you think you'd be able to do a video where you only live off of foraging / whatever you can get for free ? For like 2 days or do lol

And socks too🧦

@@linaboutin5569 i haven't seen his onlyfans account yet, but i'll take your word for it

Hello,I just happened upon your comment and thought that I might ask you what were those other types of videos you call scammer.videos that u were comparing to this video. Please explain as I would like to understand what you mean. TY🕊

What is a scammer video?

@@kimberlyjohnson7539 check out Atomic Shrimps channel and see his videos where he battles telephone solicitors trying to steal money from unsuspecting people called up.

@@blorac9869 Hello. Please send me the link for that video. Thankyou 🕊

i just did the same thing

i was having some eggs on toast, i enjoyed skipping that part tyvm.

Same, was having a dinner of instant noodles (broke college kid from India)

There are goups and or classes to go with to get a bit of knowledge and in the begining you should have a book on mushrooms with you and dont pick or touch any mushroom that you cant find in the list of edible mushrooms in that book there are some general guidelines to find an edible mushrooms and once you have learned to recognice some types like yellow chanterells stick with them, you dont really need to pick every kind of edible mushrooms. Like learn 1-3 kinds at first and master them you might not need to learn more but if you want to add one new type per year and when picking a new one pick just one or two if they are small and keep them seperated from the Other types you pick like in a plastic container and when eating it prepare it as Said in the book and dont mix it with the other ones and eat just a smaller amount to make sure that if you picked a poisonus mushroom you can be sure it is that mushroom and if you eat just a slice leave the rest you can show it to the doctors so they know what they are dealing with. I never been poisoned by mushrooms but thats because I am really careful adding a mushroom into my basket. I usually are 99%( Im the kind that say you cant ever be 100% sure of anything until after the fact) sure it is edible before I try a new kind. like I know about and can Identify 20-30 edible beginner species with no dangerous similar looking mushrooms but I usually just pick 7-10 types. Those are the ones I like the taste of and they are common enough so I get my fill and more every time I go out looking for them. And its usually about 10- 20kg of fresh edible mushrooms I gather each year for myself because they are free food. I live in Sweden that allows one to forge almost anywhere for fruits, berries and Other edible things.

Quick reply thanks. I rent a woodland site my bees what can I do to help mushrooms to grow

Log stacks are a good place to start - allow a pile of logs to just rot on the ground. This will encourage other wildlife such as beetles and birds. You can jump-start the introduction of mushrooms by buying spawn for species such as oyster mushrooms - in the form of dowels that you drill into a log to inoculate it with the fungus

@@AtomicShrimp thank you that would add an extra level of food production and interest to my allotment activity you are a star

@@lekwisdrome555 yes, what else? :)

You can probably find a ton of books on the subject. Look for flora guide or field guides online.

Are you Czech? Or Polish?

@@tausiftaha12 Czech :D

@@werisekk3 I wish we had stuff like those here lol .

@@werisekk3 I'm Polish and what can I say, it's like tradition here

that could also kill you presently...so God has a sense of humor.

Hi Scott My favourite reference guide on the topic is Roger Phillips 'Mushrooms' - his photography and attention to detail is fantastic. I'm also a subscriber to these great KZfaq Channels: Wild Food UK - kzfaq.info/love/O6CqGDjDyzsPpDnoRU5pjg Learn Your Land - kzfaq.info/love/cbf8wnyVJl631LAmAbo7nw

AtomicShrimp Thank you for your time and knowledge. I also am a subscriber to learn your land. Thank you for your help.

You release more spores when picking by hand rather then a clean cut with a knife.

Pulled from the internet, it is best not to use the knife to cut the fungus at the base, for species that are gathered close to the foot like the mushrooms, as part of the foot you leave on site will rot and this decomposition may win the mycelium slowing or stopping their growth.

So you are actually creating more of a chance of rot when returning to places you have picked previously, just so you know for next time happy hunting. :)

I'm not into that sort of fungi, but appreciate the well wishes

Agreed - it sometimes takes huge willpower and determination to walk away from an abundant crop of a particularly choice species, but I always try to exercise restraint

@@AtomicShrimp do you think you could grow the specimens at home, or will they not react well.

I made it myself - here's the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ocVyfJClqLyyf2w.html The containers inside are the plastic pods from inside Kinder Surprise eggs

@@AtomicShrimp Oh wow that's awesome, I wish I could get those eggs in the US.

@@Lunnaku We actually have been able to for a while, just without the toys.

Dude you literally just crack eggs into a bottle.

Nothing very specific. Trousers tucked into socks if I have to wade through vegetation. Bug repellent spray if I have to be outside at dusk, especially near water

This was recorded before that regulation came into force

They contain some enzymes that have been shown to be carcinogenic - I know there are methods to try to leach those things out during cooking, but... I dunno. I don't trust them.

Mushrooms by Roger Phillips

Yeah

It's very important to get a field guide that is specific to your own geographical area - mine covers Britain and Northern Europe - it's this one: www.amazon.co.uk/Mushrooms-other-fungi-Britain-Europe/dp/B00414ODO0/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1540450029&sr=8-2 It looks as though this one might be a good reference for the USA: www.amazon.co.uk/National-Audubon-American-Mushrooms-Hardcover/dp/0394519922/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1540450169&sr=1-1&keywords=mushroom+guide+USA

I'm not sure I understand the question

I think it only takes them a matter of hours - I suppose sometimes they must lose out to other scavengers, but the strategy clearly works, as the beetles are still around

Yeah, from what I heard, Russulas that aren't unpleasant to taste are safe to eat, but I really don't like relying on rules of thumb like that

I've heard that, but never found it to be a problem - I have picked some pretty large ones too. Maybe it's dependent on local climate or something as well as the maturity of the fungus

@@AtomicShrimp yes is true im talking about past ones bad experince with them i learnd my lesson very good videos and recipies

You don't want to be caught with a knife these days. Especially around the London area.

No thanks
