Hi Colin - long time no speak :o)

yes, England is still a green and pleasant land, despite the developments of most towns and cities.

There are whispers of the Camcorder Bandits channel being resurrected! so watch this space!

Rick, not only should start vines, bushes, and trees that have edible food growing all over your region where you live, but you should spread seeds of flowers that are edible. Flowers are often very mild to sweet and full of antioxidants. Some excellent flowers are daylilies, azaleas, violets, honeysuckle - flame azalea has so much nectar the flowers taste like Orange Crush. The base of flowers can be strong to bitter - it's better to break off petals and not eat the green material.

Thanks for the tips John - i'll have to look into it.

The only advice I was ever given about mushrooms is " If it looks like the ones you buy in the store don't eat it " I have never eaten any I've found.

@justinboy08 When I was training in Fort Hood Texas for a month in the field, I found a whole grove full of them. I could have filled my whole rucksack ten times over with fresh shrooms. They were extremely large and healthy specimens.

Also make sure that you familiarize yourself with ALL poisonous mushrooms in your area. The deadly galerina is everywhere. O.O

@justinboy08 I hope you're not seriously eating every gold cap mushroom that grows in cow dung. 85-90% of those are not going to be psychoactive, you know. You'll end up getting sick/the dead that way.

Just learning about mushrooms myself. May I suggest familiarising yourself with the various groups of mushrooms from the book ( maybe get a couple more books) before you go. Some other safe ones are Boletes and Chantarelles, both fairly easy to identify. But yes, definately harder than it looks. I think knowing what habitat and time of year to look will help me. (I am in Oz)
