Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I have always wanted to try wild mushrooms that I see growing when walking the dogs but never knew how to identify the edible ones. Now, thanks to your videos, I can identify some of them correctly. But now I am concerned as to the effect it might have on the mushrooms colonies. Is it possible to over forage a mushroom so that less of them grow? Any advise would be much appreciated.
I think the important thing is that they spread their spores to grow again, so don't take more than you will eat and never harvest young ones that haven't seeded.
How do foragers avoid cross contamination when looking for and cutting mushrooms? For example using a knife to cut a poisonous mushroom to ID then discard then cutting an edible mushroom and keeping and eating - is there not a danger of a small amount poison being ingested. Going by the way foragers seem happy touching poisonous mushrooms I am guessing it's not that big a deal.
I'm always very aware of what my hands/knife is touching. Yes you do see people picking death caps etc with relative nonchalance, but I think as long as you clean your knife you should be fine.
a tiny fraction of even the most toxic mushrooms isn't gonna do anything to you. its the nature of toxins that as they amass they become exponentially more deadly, so if theres a cubic centimetre of death cap in your meal its gonna do a hell of a lot less than say 3 cubic centimetres
I've heard of people finding it but I haven't personally, and it's not reported on the BMS checklist of UK fungi. But it's very close relative omphalotus illudens (which is almost identical) has been reported a few times in the south east.
Your knowledge and passion is clearly shown through your flawless presentation and quality content. I love this channel!
Yes young one have a very appricoty smell

I didn't think we had Jack o Lanterns here in the uk?

Okay, thanks for the reply. I'll be a little more nervous and careful now picking chanterelles, although I still think I can tell the difference.
