Another Incredible Porcini / Penny Bun / Cep / Boletus Edulis Mushroom Hunt UK

After going back to the deciduous woodland and harvesting some nice Porcini I crossed over to the other side of the wood into some mixed softwoods. Initially there wasn't many fungi evident but I stumbled across an area which had hundreds in......and I filled the basket again.
The hunt after this was shared with a good friend who also filled his basket with top quality Boletus - 3 short hunts have yielded well over 20kg of this valuable fungus and I've now got all of them dried and stored in mason jars......ready for the 'Dark Winter'.

On a serious note, it is very important to learn as many 'outdoor' skills as you can since you never know when you need them.
Having knowledge of natural environments, shooting, trapping, fishing and foraging are literally life-saving skills since without them we die when the current system of on-demand food and easy shopping goes away.....and it will go away at some point - do you want to be the guy fighting a hungry 300lb man-monster or a bloated blue-haired screamer for the last packet of Super Noodles in a ransacked supermarket or do you want to be prepared?
Do you want your pronouns to be Was / Were? ........ nope.
It's a simple choice.
Knowledge is power but we're 'educated' to exist in the system without being taught what the system is and how to navigate the (obvious) pitfalls.
Knowledge costs nothing and can be carried in the mind, given away for free and used to combat ignorance - it's a great deal but takes time and effort to learn useful skills.
Foraging is most definitely one of those useful skills.

To be honest I've not much idea of what Rumble is or does but it seems quite popular among people more tech-savvy than me....and somehow plenty of people have already found the videos judging by the views (and 'Rumbles'?).
Both Odysee and Rumble have new videos uploaded to them as soon as they upload on YouTube.
