EatTheWeeds: Episode 159: Ghost Pipes

[@sammane9618]

I loved how in most of your older videos you would gather, prepare, cook and eat the things you did. I would love if you could do that with more of these because I find the hardest information to find is on which parts to eat and how to properly cook and prepare things we forage. 🙏🏼 Always love your videos, and it's great to see what you're doing with the editing now! Much gratitude from a fellow Floridian :)

I have an incredible amount of these. The stem tastes bitter but if you just eat the flower, it is tasty, I thought so, anyway. I don't recommend eating without research. I've eaten several at once and it had a noticeable effect but I've also eaten just one and felt very high, as in more than I wanted to be

[@innovativeatavist159]

Somehow I've never encountered these in the wild, but I'll be sure to look for them now. Also my theory on the high pitched tone some of us are hearing is that it's SO high that it can't be heard after you reach a certain age. I'm only 25 and I already can't hear the sound an "old" tv makes when it's off. This would make editing it out of the audio very difficult without a visual aid for identifying and negating frequencies. Such tools exist in DAW softwares but I'm not sure about video editing software. Personally I'm gonna keep watching every video several times just like I have since I found your channel as a teenager, because I'm just SO ecstatic that you're uploading again. I actually started getting questions from my scout troop because I kept eating random trailside tidbits, and it escalated into me teaching full blown foraging classes to the other boys by the time I was 17.

This was a very good video, I'm native to Florida but I'm up here and Appalachians right now been here for 5 years.... and now I know of these( which at first glance I thought you were saying ghost peppers😀) thank you green dean👍

[@Psillytripper]

i saw some hiking in osceola county FL last week after some rains... i thought they were mushrooms at first but upon closer inspection and tasting a petal did i realize they were not mushrooms. three were a bunch of those types of mushrooms around all over the forest tho. i was looking for gymunus. lep tho ;)

[@nickmarble7226]

See these when I go forage for mushrooms thanks for the video about to indulge

[@kiachris76712]

🎉❤😊 thanks for sharing Your Awesome Day n knowledge. Much appreciated. I learned some New n valuable facts. Happy Blessed Father's Day weekend and Everyday 🙏💕. Look forward to learning More.

If you want to find Ghost Pipe, you have to ask the forest. One day when looking for medicinal plants near Mt Adams, I asked to find something new and unique (This was around 10 years ago or more) and I sat down at the end of the trail, looked down, and they were right there next to me. I have been obsessed with learning about them, made several youtube videos, read all the literature, and then realized how *little* we know about it. I am still always on the hunt after a summer rain, they tend to pop up then. I have a secret location where they are very abundant. I have yet to experiment too much with the extract I made, but let's say it turns your hands *DARK* purple for some time if you do not wear gloves :)

[@pamasbery5372]

Loved it...”sure to offend someone “😊

[@shanek6582]

I tried them last year, they grow everywhere on my land here in the smoky mountains, I was excited because everyone online said they were a good pain killer and all that, I couldn’t tell that they did anything at all.

[@TheRichardwd3809]

No affect?

[@kennedy67951]

Try placing a Pound of Indian Pipe in a Large Jar and fill with your Favorite Alcohol. Let it set in a Dry, Dark, Cool Place for Six Weeks and then try it. The longer it sits. The more Concentrated it gets. The more Power it has. Just an Old Mans Opinion. Good Luck Mate.

[@shanek6582]

@@TheRichardwd3809 nope, and I don’t drink so I wouldn’t know if I were drunk or if the ghost pipe was doing anything lol.

[@carpo719]

it is a different kind of pain killer, and recommended to take a small amount. We don't know enough about the adverse potential effects. If you read up on it, it does not 'eliminate' the pain, so much as allows you to see it in a different way. I have made extract a few times, but very careful not to take too much.

[@greenchristendom4116]

It was the other species he mentioned as a pain killer.

[@stephanieteitsort5771]

So excited your back at it! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@saxet9049]

I am really looking forward to buying your book.

[@HeirloomReviews]

im trying to find this plant but no luck so far? any tips where to get some??

[@michealeckert8499]

Your back Yaa don't ever leave us again

[@simpleman283]

Green Dean, your videos are becoming EPIC with music & close ups. 👍❤ After your video on persimmons I noticed that I have 10 tiny persimmons growing on my property. My hope is that at least some of them turn out to be fruit bearing females.

[@lunarrn]

I was just tracking a deer in north Florida and saw these. Of course I pissed everyone off because they thought I found the deer....

[@queenelcene638]

ThankYou ❤ I live in SW Lower Peninsula of Michigan. I found some, 2020, August, beside a pin cherry tree stump. Very educational video.

[@ZPDSurvival]

Great Video. I usually make a tincture with a small amount. Michigan.

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

When I was a younger man lol 😂 my friend puked 🤮 and those grew the next day in his sick. I thought they were mushrooms. Interesting now I know.

[@ArtDeGuerra]

Awesome video keep up the great work. I wish i could take ur class in Florida.

[@americanrebel413]

Thank you green Dean.

[@mayamachine]

I have these on my property.. good medicine

[@jimmie200]

We had a huge Australian Pine on our property in Broward County. It was just outside my bedroom window. When the wind blew, it was a heavenly sound. My favorite tree.

[@spanny88]

They are all over the woods outside my apartment in Oakland Maryland

[@robertfaber6796]

Excellent

[@Farfromhere001]

I can't hear it???

[@greendeane1]

Usually that,a setting on your end.

[@kennedy67951]

Thanks GreenDean for the fine Class Work on the (INDIAN PIPE). Dave Canterbury did a Video on this Plant too, showing more on the Medicine side, 'that I really wish you had done.

[@EatTheWeeds]

I'm not an herbalist. I stick with what I know.

[@paulflores8944]

I’ve eaten 2 raw recently . Not sure what to report.

[@stephanienogueira8391]

THANK YOU! Thank you for this video. I have these on my property and have seen them occasionally when foraging. I could not find anything about them because I thought it was more of a odd fungus because of how they feel. Thank you again for your input.

[@fabiandupuis9416]

Love it!

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks

[@BudDElf]

There’s no sound

[@wildedibles819]

We have both kinds here in the woods and yes around lactarius and russulia mushrooms

[@seannelsen3377]

Thank you for your video learned a lot in my own experiments. Which match what you have said

[@FusionDeveloper]

I saw a small group of those Indian pipes, 1 time in my life. I didn't know what they were, they seemed alien. Wow, this is the first time I've seen them dried and they look so cool dried and the first time i've heard that they were edible.
