I have been an amateur mycologist for over 25 years and I was delighted to see your interest in the wild mushrooms and the mushroom hunters in Latvia. The red capped mushroom with white flecks is an Amanita muscaria...poisonous. The mushroom hunters were picking the choice edible orange chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius), edible red/brown capped boletes (Boletus edulis), and other mushrooms I would have to examine more closely. Very interesting to see the European mushrooms look very similar to those in North America (I live in New Mexico). And your videos are fantastic, very nice work. I always like the drone shots.

I love seeing your commitment to the filming — there seems to be stationary camera footage at every simple stop documenting both arrival and departure, meaning you have to do basically everything twice! Makes for great storytelling. Really inspiring to me.
