It’s a small independent movie which will probably not get much coverage anyway. The message is a positive one, so hopefully people who watch it will get it.

It would be interesting to watch it though… However I am concerned that many people may think that it’s a commercially beneficial business and rush into forest… it would leave even less mushrooms for real mushroom lovers.

Have you heard of a new movie called Now, Forager? You can find info on this site

Looks like a beautiful movie, and touches on the subject of sustainable foraging.

I shall find some free time to post more on this blog :)
Somehow people are never thought to save the environment. They learn by bad examples and rude behavior of other people. Nobody cares what that means on a global scale. That’s a shame.

I completely agree with you. I have been foraging for wild mushrooms for around 5 years and this year when I went to the pine forest where there are usually lots to pick, I found virtually nothing! There were hollows everywhere so it looked like people had gone over every single inch and pulled out all the mushrooms, including the stumps!
I believe in always leaving some for the forest and some for other people. I was shocked that anyone could be so greedy and selfish. There can be no other explanation. It has been a very wet autumn here in Victoria, Australia, and there should have been heaps of mushrooms. We seem to live in a society where people only think of themselves. They forget about others and their environment. Such a shame.

On a different note, I enjoy reading your blog. Keep writing!
