How does it feel to be called mordecai 24/7?

[@venomoussilverback]

I find reishi all the time in Alabama growing from roots in the ground and on trees

[@ar_ali19]

Mordecai is teaching me about mushrooms

[@moonlit7273]

Crazy

Rigby is out in the city mean while mordecai is in the woods

[@thedescendedangel]

Yeah mordecai got hit a little harder by puberty again

[@vadym-beep1241]

I'd like to note that morels have dangerous poisonous lookalikes called "false morels" that you forgot to mention. Look it up, there are many lookalikes that can be poisonous.

[@codd84]

The main difference when cut the false morels are not hollow. But he should have mentioned them and how to differentiate between the two.

[@veranichole1981]

I went hiking a few weekends ago an thought I found a bunch of Ramps. I was so excited...then I saw the beautiful white flowers. I never thought I'd be disappointed to find lily of the valley.

[@Lt.Dans_Legs-freesp3Ak]

Plus how could you confuse them. Lily smells floral, has berries, and different leaves

[@hiromikami]

Excellent work! My wife and I watched the whole video and it's exciting and quick paced from start to finish. Chock full of scenery and food presentation, we were quite smitten for 20+ minutes flew by in an instant!

[@sonofabear]

Thank you very much! I've been working on the pacing of my videos the past year. I honestly think it might be a little too fast paced.

[@ace2dlltwo]

That normally happens to people when they watch their own video or listen to their own song. Keep up the good work remember a good video will do good if it has value and a good ending that makes people want to watch mor!​@@sonofabear

[@justbeasmr]

Just an FYI when you show the name of the red clover, it still says "crown tipped coral" (probably text leftover since you had just talked about crown tipped coral). But very good beginner foraging video! Great content!

[@sonofabear]

Thank you! I most of missed that when I was editing!

Ahh Morels. A fun thing to look for. and an even tastier thing to eat fried.

[@ambersykora352]

Also to deal with kidney stones, drink distilled water with fresh lemon juice, it will break down and dissolve the stones, as will bromelain aka active compound found in pineapple...which dissolves calcifications in the blood vesseos etc

[@bitchsaywhat1139]

Why not just drink or eat pineapple?

Can you eat the bottom white part of Hemlock Reishi? Also is False Solomons Seal dangerous to eat?

Hello, Where did you say you are located? I am in Northern California

[@patronsaintofpoison]

According to his channel description, he is in Maine... so, just about as far away from Cali, and my own home of Las Vegas Nevada (Where NOTHING edible seems to grow- except wild asparagus, pretty much, which grows in ditches along roadsides, so I'd consider it kindof dirty) as can possibly be... I remember, I once went to Eugene Oregon to visit my friends, and I was astounded by how much ACTUAL FOOD was, like, GROWING ON PLANTS, COMING OUT OF THE GROUND??? Wow, I ate nuts off of a tree and even found little wild grapes, eeee!

[@ScottWConvid19]

Man, I would really enjoy going on a foray with you and sharing knowledge. Question: Have you got a video that explains the process of your dual extract tinctures? Do you get a green or dry weight of your herbs, roots or fungus to get the ratio/dosages uniform.? Do you use only wild harvested flora and fungus in your tinctures? I just started doing some alcohol extracts to be followed up by hot water. I've read and hear conflicting information. Having been subbed to your channel for awhile and seeing that you know your food and medicine, I recommend people that don't harvest and process their own, to buy yours, because you literally show what you're harvesting

[@sonofabear]

Sure! I can make a video on how to make dual extracts! I usually dry the herbs or mushrooms first, but some flowers like ghost pipe I will tincture with all the water weight. I use mainly wild harvested ingredients, but I'll use organic ingredients if I can't find a particular plant in the wild.

[@ScottWConvid19]

@@sonofabear funny you just replied as I had just passed in your info to a friend to purchase turkey tail and chaga tinctures from you. Do you ever make blue foot or similar tinctures? His wife recently had a ocular stroke that gave her nerve damage that the neuro ophthalmologist said that they cannot help, but I'm thinking that micro dosing might be able to help, since it stimulates the optical nerves and excites the neuropathways

[@ScottWConvid19]

@@sonofabear I just saw that you're out of turkey Tail, but you've got the trilogy. That's the one he needs most. My tinctures won't be done for a month and a half to two months.

I’ve seen people cook morels in wine, why shouldn’t they be cooked with alcohol?

Does nettle have any look alikes? i found what i thought was nettle but it didn't sting and didn't taste good so i didn't eat any. Stinging nettle actually taste really good fresh its just kinda spicy

Have you been to Chicago? I personally think that name is more fitting for New York; the stinky onion city.

[@TheQwuilleran]

My biggest concern for eating what I find in my area is that I live in a factory city. A plant will process what's in the soil and turn it into plant material, but it can still retain the toxic properties of its environment (see Chernobyl radiation site). My liver and kidneys are healthy, so I probably shouldn't worry, right?

what does choice edible mean

It tastes very good and is generally worth the effort to harvest. Theres lots of edible wild plants and mushrooms that you could eat, but dont taste very good or are hard to process.

hold the heck up did you change the title to 2024 Edit: oh my god it says 2025 now

yes, but the mushrooms and plants don't change from year to year lol
