Absolutely love your shirt and cap, so happy and joyous colors.

That's the goal! ✌️🤠

Came for the fungus, stayed for the shirt!

Chicken of the Woods is my favourite fungi. I toss it in a little rice flour, then fry in coconut oil. Add some garlic powder, Chinese five spice, bit of sea salt and tamari tl taste... yum! My seven year old grandson absolutely loves it! Thank you...great video!

[@richardswinson4381]

Could you do a video, that shows all the yellow/ orange fungi that looks very similar to chicken of the woods. Side by side, above and below comparison would be fantastic.

[@andreeavlad2450]

I ate this mushroom last year in Romania for the first time they were amazing

[@libmananchannel]

Hello Home Is Where Our Heart Is! Thanks for the nice video! I saw it very interestingly! It's a good job! Have a nice day!

[@ClownWhisper]

Now you're talking about something that I know quite a bit about I'm an amateur mycologist I have been growing mushrooms mostly polypores in my house for several years actually right now I'm not growing because I moved into a new place and I'm not set up for it but I plan on eventually getting back to it. Polypore mushrooms are one of the healthiest things that you can do for yourself I credit them for saving my life. Yes it's a very long story I won't go into the whole thing but there's a part of me that truly believes that eating turkey tail mushrooms another poly for I believe related closely to the chicken of the woods is such a benefit to your immune system that if you have cancer and are going through destructive cancer treatments and you take or eat an abundance of turkey tail mushrooms you will increase your odds of survival so dramatically I believe is to put yourself in a whole new category of likelihood of survival I truly believe this I have seen the data put out by Paul stamets a world-renowned mycologist if I get sick again from my condition if I backslide I will most certainly take turkey tail and pill form so I don't have to eat as many as I did the first go round because I really packed it away LOL I have to be honest I have never eaten chicken of the woods I have never grown it either I'm almost tempted to go look for some it's a surely a beautiful fungi

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Aha check out my jelly ear mushroom video you'll love it!

[@ClownWhisper]

@@homeiswhereourheartis i will today thank you!

[@TheWebMindset]

What a beautiful human! I’m on my land in the mountains and am now doing a walkabout to find some Chicken of the Woods! And I subscribed

[@VidJakeOfficial]

Mate I absolutely love this video. Came across some chicken of the woods today and it's DELICIOUS!! You've got yourself a new subscriber mate, keep up the positive vibes my guy! 🫶

[@garysheren9353]

I like this video ,that mushroom looked so good . When should I start looking for this type of mushroom spring or mid summer or fall . Here in the US we start looking early spring another type here i have seen it but I didn't know what it was . Nice video very informative you identified and prepared it but most importantly you suggested to try a small bite and wait to see if anyone had any reactions from it . Thanks you for your time making this video.

[@mj4721]

Thank you, very interesting.😊

[@freedomforestlife]

True legend, love the video, excited to try this, looks delicious.... and your shirt is epic king!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

The summers wardrobes! 🤣✌️

[@danceistheway94]

Usually stay away from fungi for the same reasons, but now I'm pretty tempted lol, il keep an eye out, thanks for another video 🥰

🙌🔥🙏 chicken of the woods 🤩 I also intermittently fast!!! Your family is doing it right! Thank you for all the love and time!!! 🫀

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Thank you for watching dude!

[@GirlCarpenter]

Your enthusiasm is incredible!! I feel the same way about wild edible mushrooms but I’m a bit less interested in eating Chicken of the Woods. Hen of the Woods on the other hand… ❤️❤️❤️ Great video!

[@muhammadmerianto7496]

in Indonesia there is also the same mushroom and it only grows on castanopsis trees in certain seasons, it is the most delicious mushroom I have ever tried.

[@KevinDoyle-r1w]

Love the birds in the background. Reminds me of when i was a boy

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Thanks! I also love hearing the birds and especially avoid microphones that get rid of them. Make's recording lots harder but it's worth it 🙂

[@rogerthedodger5788]

I appreciated you were responsible in harvesting one piece. Its important people dont take every piece. My daft imagination when youre getting ready to cook the piece in view of the rest of the CotW, one piece is saying "why did he cut Charley off? " the other pieces say " dont worry, hes just cleaning him with that brush. He'll pop Charley back in a min..." .... Two mins later..... " Aaaagghh..... Chaaarleeyyyyyy!!"

[@kristalantiques]

I have this growing on my oak trees!!! It sure surprised me to see it

[@beckyd712]

Love this video, can't wait to try some. Also can't wait until your book gets delivered! Thank you for these videos, you've made a new hobby for me and my 80+ Dad walking in the woods near our home. Thank you and your family, Blessed Be!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Thank you & your dad fir being awesome ! ✌️😁

Thank you for this Video! Can you freeze COW for later use? :)

Just found what I hope is chicken of the woods. Very tasty fried in olive oil, with garlic and parsley added at the end. Great enthusiastic video - love foraging!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

[@larrylaird-so5oy]

Thank you, and the chicken of the woods looks delicious.

[@leightyrrell5449]

I've never tried this mushroom before but have known about it for years,after your vid gonna give it a try,nice one keep up the vids pal

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Give it a try it's a great one!

[@sixtysecondsofstephens2386]

Great video, can't wait to hopefully find some. Known of it for a while, I'm surprised it's not sold in shops as chicken substitute.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

It should be!

[@rosehughes6767]

I adore Chicken of the Woods! So delicious!!!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

It's the best 😁

Another super video! You could write a great book with all this knowledge!

[@kaeleystewart5632]

I love just discovered your channel and am so grateful I did! Lovely people with so many lessons and love to spread ❤

[@jld0001967]

I found my first ever CotW. HUGE clusters. I was so excited! Unfortunately, I’m a few days too late. It’s shriveled and starting to decay. So sad! The trail had been too muddy to walk as I normally do, so I missed out. Boots instead of sneakers next time!

[@ianmenai8432]

thanks for this hope i come across some now

[@stasiabrisbane7605]

Thank you for the video. Btw I love your outfit 👍🏽

Fantastic video Dane, I've been in woods most of my life and have never seen this fungi, I am defo going to go out purposefully in order to achieve this goal, I will find it and eat it with relish, thanks for uploading and pls put more fungi videos out as and when it's their time to shine, we'll done bro 👍👍👍

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Love abit of relish. Yes they'll be plenty more fungi videos to come!

[@jokeogh9939]

Your foraging videos are my favourite for your joy and enthusiasm. I hope to find some elusive cotw and will definitely squeal like Ned Flanders when I do! 😁

Thank you Teresa ✌❤

[@merijn9602]

Amazing thank you!!!!!

[@ThePinkBinks]

Dunno if this is a dumb question but do you seed as you forage? And regarding mushrooms have you ever set spawn plugs? I see immigrants foragers where I am taking everything they find. No seeding, no leaving some for others or regrowth. They just take it all. (Not hating on immigrants, it just happens to be true it’s always them.)

[@angelzdanz9969]

Thank YOU❤️🇨🇦

[@glynbalewell5421]

Been out twice this season hunting for the elusive chicken of the woods but no joy as of yet. Soon hopefully.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Fingers crossed!

Cool 💯

[@ClownWhisper]

If you have a vitamin d deficiency which in America is at epidemic rates so I imagine in the UK it's even worse because of the fact that there's even a less pure sunny days from what I've read mushrooms even poly for mushrooms absorb so much vitamin d and you in turn absorb it from the mushrooms you can replenish yourself on a diet that has a healthy amount of polypore mushrooms. They are so very very good for you! I completely turned my health situation around when I was growing and ingesting all manner of polypore mushrooms. I like all mushrooms but I specifically tend to favor oyster mushrooms and other tree growing mushrooms such as the polypore

[@ClownWhisper]

One thing I forgot to mention regarding the vitamin d and mushroom absorption if you want to make certain that your mushrooms contain a lot of vitamin d you can actually set them out in the sun for several hours to absorb an additional amount of vitamin c if they are very young small mushrooms and you are afraid they might be low in vitamin d or if they are white skin mushroom that are grown in the dark such as snow cap or they call them white button mushrooms some people call them you can set them in the Sun and they will absorb vitamin d and you can obtain vitamin d that way very effective it seems to me and this is only anecdotal evidence I absorbed the vitamin d much better that way then even taken prescription vitamin d in very large doses. Just a thought

[@ThePinkBinks]

Any news on your book yet love?

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Still working on it but it's almost finished 🙂

[@PijanovicDjordje]

The chicken of the woods should be cooked first in a boiling water for at least 5 to 10 minutes to remove the oxalic acid, then you fry it. Because if you prepare it that way it can make some people sick, those who don't tolerate it, i mean. Nevertheless, great video.

I cannot believe I found this and nicknamed the beech tree it was on “the mushroom tree”! It was beautifully golden but way too high up to reach. 😢

[@sjcproductionsandmedia]

Can I please send you a picture of what we found? I've read that you shouldn't eat them if they grow on certain trees and I need help identifying the tree and need to know if these mushrooms are past their prime.

[@sharonjarmon6269]

Did you say your salt is infused with leek

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Yes 🙂

[@leroygunning80]

i've been searching for that fungus for years in new forest must be super unlucky

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Ah Leroy, keep searching. You never know when it might turn up ✌❤

[@roscoemc3]

I’ve found some on a fallen tree, not sure what kind of tree if an Ewe. Does this look like COTW. Ah I can’t upload the photos

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

It's debated if mushrooms growing on yews can be eaten 🙂

[@sharonjarmon6269]

I'm sorry what did you say you infused your salt with.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Three cornered leek, similar to wild garlic 🙂
