  1. Those baskets u carry don´t look very porous to me. What materials are they made of? Cuz that fabric doesn´t look like it lets the spores pass thru.

  2. using parafin on food is ripe for a lawsuit. paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil, it has been found to contain known carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) such as benzene.

  3. Awesome video!!! Also I subbed 🙂 I also have a request, can you do a turducken but with a Cow Sheep and Chicken plz?

  4. Didn’t discuss any sort of sustainable practices like leaving a decent amount so that for years in the future the mushrooms can be found again. Not talking about that makes me think this is strictly pillage the land of all potential profits. Which is gross.

  5. All for the foraging and sustainable living, but why are they pushing all of this coming against factory farming while all of them are fat🤷🏻‍♂️

  6. i would love to see a dog breed play into this.. imaging how well they could do. maybe someone already is but I don't know of anyone doing it.

  7. Learning how the food of the outdoors grow like mushrooms all the different types and sizes and flavors they have, and how you can understand why mushrooms bring a lot of fresh flavor to your meal.

  8. I myself mushroom hunt saffron milk caps and boletus mushrooms, both are very easy to identify. Milk caps have none that are poisonous, but can be very unpleasant like hotter than a pepper. Some are so hot they feel like they could stop your breathing but won't kill you just very unpleasant. Boletus are very easy to identify as they do not have normal gills but network of pores and once again only one is toxic but not deadly.

  9. U shouldn't show them eating raw mushroom they just picked without a disclaimer to not do this with 99% of mushrooms because the are almost all toxic if not cooked properly, people might get ideas if they see something like that

  10. "most food you get at the store has so little nutrition" this is complete horseshit. Speaking as a food scientist. These guys are doing a good thing and I love foraged mushrooms and other food that doesn't cultivate/mass ship/preserve well more than any other which is why I'm here in the first place, but don't lie about it. There is plenty to love about nature without pretending it's some sort of magic.

  11. On what basis do you say that "what people buy in the supermarket has little nutrition?" You shouldn't mislead people with sensationalist comments like that. Cultivation is what has saved civilization from malnourishment. Nations were raised on wheat and potatoes, not wild mushrooms.

  12. This is dope I love mushrooms never knew the actual science behind it but I would love to learn more especially being from the west coast Vancouver B.C. To be exact 👍

  13. Foraging should be reserved for personal use. In some areas in EU, there is hundreds of workers coming from other countries even that come to """forage""" all the produce in the woods. Local people can't access these then. And then supermarkets or restaurants re-sell those mushrooms, berries etc at a high price. fak this. Hobbits would not build a business out of exploiting wild produce like that. Foraging to innoculate and cultivate on your own land, why not. In all cases: respect for the knowledge and skill.
