Those are incredible beautiful color! Never heard of it.

Great video! I found it informative and loved seeing the family together at the end. Home is where’s the heart is indeed!

Love this show, Babies face at the end just tops it off. Love it!! ❤

❤ I loved watching your little one help himself 🎉

[@mrlovehat1836]

I love this video and your delivery so much. I found my first wood ear today harvested a small pouchful and I’m about to make a super soup with them, black fungus and star anise. It’s set me on the path of wild gathering

[@nlitenme]

Aww, even baby likes ear mushrooms soup.

[@AnnsTinyLife]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been finding a jelly fungus on my property for a long time now. I thought it was all wood ear but it turns out it's just Amber or black jelly fungus. This has helped me tremendously distinguish between the two. Thank you so much!

[@BonafideToolJunkie]

Here in Virginia, we have the Box Elder. It's considered the ugly duckling of trees, but it yields lots of wood ear mushrooms 😊

[@roastntoast7550]

The Mu-Err is not only suitable for cooking delicious recipes. Chinese culture also treasures Judas's ears as a medicine. It can also be sold as a dietary supplement. The fungus is said to strengthen the immune system and have an anti-inflammatory and haemostatic effect. The Mu-Err is used, for example, for circulatory problems or to lower cholesterol levels. Mu-Err mushrooms are rich in iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium and contain vitamin B1 and phosphorus.

Beautifully composed as always.❤🕉

I really enjoyed your quiet and gracious informative vidi. I use wood ear for my tom yum soup! Thank you! Edit. I posted before watching the whole vidi. Hot and sour soup is the best with wood ear!

[@moondadwright]

Thank you so much for this video. I just started looking into this mushroom for getting my dad off from Warfin, He has a blood clotting disorder known as, Factor 5. I learned that this mushroom has blood thinning properties and Is an anti coagulant It has anti plateleting properties. Keep up the great work.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Thank you 🙂

[@annabarnes6982]

I foraged wood Blewit yesterday. Been hunting for Jelly Ear but no luck so far,even though we have an Elder tree near us 😊

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Fingers crossed for you!

[@TheMotorcyclingYogi]

Thank you so much for all that you share. How would you dehydrate these mushrooms? Do they have to be cooked before dehydrating? 🙏

[@BrandonDickenson35]

Soak it for some hours to rehydrate and use as you would fresh ones once it's gotten near how you found it

[@HBhelpinghand]

I enjoy the info given, the recipe, great video.

[@charlesg2887]

Excellent❤

[@dangjungsalnang8190]

Jelly wood ear good for uric acid

[@howardsmith915]

Fantastic as always

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Thanks 😁

[@debbiedotodue]

Thank you

[@mrmagoo447]

Definitely giving this recipe a try that soup looked mouth wateringly delicious.

[@KarolMachnowski]

Thanks one more time I like this funga is well.How often you have it?

[@OldMysticFantasist]

I already knew a lot about & have foraged many 'jellies', but enjoyed the history/folklore & appreciate the soup recipe. Will definitely try making some now.

[@janismartinpoet2815]

The soup smells delicious!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

It was!

[@houseuponthemountain8540]

I love foraging! We like foraging chanterelle mushrooms when we go to Washington state.

[@Strickredmusic]

The elder tree seems like a bad choice for a hanging tree, the wood usually snaps easily. Great vid btw 💯

[@kpripeshsingha6824]

I have this plenty at my home and it grows automatically from dead woods during rainy days but I am not sure if it's edible but I have always wanted to try these mushroom.

[@victoriadoughty1850]

Been sitting here patiently 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Did you like the judas ear part! 😁

[@litsoschastlivyy7002]

I found some in a park near where i live along with some white oyster mushrooms

[@freedomforestlife]

Great video guys - thank you. Love all the info you pack in, foraging for mushrooms is something that I never feel very confident about, but after all your clear identification methods for the wood ear, I feel confident I would know this one now. Can't wait for our mushrooms to get going at Freedom Forest too - Love a Mushroom soup!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Are you guys actively promoting fungi growth at freedom Forest? 🙂🍄

[@freedomforestlife]

@@homeiswhereourheartis I inocculated some logs a few months back with Shitake, Oyster and Lions Mane - and I can see the Mycelium has spread in the logs now - very exciting 💚🍄

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Aha lions mane very exciting!

[@luqueymartinez5260]

Low audio but an incredibly informative video, thank you!

[@jayceewriter7826]

Thank you , big fan from Raleigh, NC

[@richardchartrand5340]

Thank You🙂

[@butterfly-qs1xg]

Love it! Especially the bit at 5.45 in where you slap that fungi around 🤣 yes I played that bit over a few times, gave me a good chuckle 😆 will definitely try the soup out as it looks delicious 😋

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

When editing the video I thought about removing that bit 🤣

[@butterfly-qs1xg]

I'm so glad you didn't, me and my brother used to slap them round aswell before taking them home for my dad. Brought back good memories for me as I'd forgotten all about it 😆

[@dennispersinger4120]

Fantastic, just fantastic

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

😁😁

[@GlacialRidgeHomestead]

What are the ones that looks like it but grow with cup facing up?

[@janetbishop9066]

Hi guys, your video is amazing. I might even give it a go. Love y'all. 🤩

[@KarenLarsen22070]

Thank you so much ❤

[@patrikosvath7590]

This is the kind of recipe I would've absolutely loved a few years ago. Even though I don't eat mushrooms anymore the soup was really appetizing! Great information too - as always! Love y'all, peace. ✌️ 💚

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Why did you stop eating mushrooms may we ask Patrik!? 😁

[@patrikosvath7590]

@@homeiswhereourheartis Of course I'll gladly share. Long story short, I'd felt that if I was to continue the lifestyle I was living between 2015 and 2020 I would've got severely ill in a couple of years. So I had to quit smoking, drinking alcohol ,listening to depressing music and hanging out with toxic people all at once. That led me to the discovery that I am way more intuitive than I thought. And i started to listen to my gut ( quite literally haha 😃) about a lot of things and ended up developing spiritual gifts. But in order to achieve that I decided to go full vegan and ditch all the processed commercial food. That's how I found your channel in the first place, looking for herbal knowledge. And I'm so happy that I did eventually find you guys 💚

[@jerrybootneck1736]

Another very informative video guy's. Thank you.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

🙂

[@marianlund3650]

Great video. What is that lovely music?

[@oldgold1100]

Really interesting vid. I've seen them on elder but never knew that they were edible. I would love to have the knowledge to forage for fungi but I'm scared of be poisoned lol. I now feel confident to foraging wood ear and two others, Puffball and Stinkhorn. Thank you for showing us all. John.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Your welcome John!

[@fridacastelanlopez8125]

Lovely!!!

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

😁

[@judyofthewoods]

It's a fungus I've been meaning to pick for some time, just because I knew it was edible and being curious if it was any good. Now knowing how good it is I will definitely collect some. Thanks for the great info and recipe. Just to clarify - does a "generous table spoon of water" mean "heaped"?

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Glad you enjoyed our video 😁 Yes heaped table spoon just to make sure it's more liquidy than starchy

[@esquirehancock6937]

That looked like a dessert spoon!

[@guilhermenoivo8827]

is so cool to see how light your dressed in January compared to where i am right now D but, sounds like if i go forage now i might find some of those fungis yei :) im off ! thank so you much its great and inspiring to see you guys pushing strongly bravely and independently ! i wish for you some of the strenght back that you given me from watching this (and other) videos thank you thank you thank you

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Thank you for your kind comment ! Did you find any ?

[@guilhermenoivo8827]

@@homeiswhereourheartis No xD. Nor ElderTrees. SOmeone told me they dont grow this further up north, but at the same time, im in the most southwest part of the country, so, maybe ? :) anyway, i did not had much time that time, before my work shift :) ill go again! The fields are still with blloming yarrow, red clover , burdock and a lot of good stuff : D, i also got inspired by the direct quote "its also going out to foraging that is good for you " thanks a lot again :D

[@lisamullin3463]

Hi beautiful souls! can not find the brown wood ear shrooms that are brown. Seems in stores they only have the black ones from China. Do you have a source if I do not live in the Forrest…sadly!

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

Could I just fry them up? If anything I guess I could put it in my potato soup

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

They pop when fried & fly out the pan!

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

@@homeiswhereourheartis ok I could use a lid haha thanks

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Enjoy!

[@VodorTV]

Brilliant video but the audio is only coming out of the left ear for most of the video till the end where it switches tot he right ear so its really hard to listen to on headphones.

[@homeiswhereourheartis]

Our camera dosnt seem to like headphones for some reason

[@VodorTV]

@@homeiswhereourheartis What editing program do you use? If you are only recording from your camera in mono most editing programs will convert mono audio to dual channel audio with two key strokes. If you need any help Im happy to help! :)

[@sargamsharma372]

Why do i have this on my washroom sink ? And that too it was in bundles under the sink i remove it but it comes back everytime. What should i do 🤢

[@paulinelamont7388]

i love your videos, no thumbs up from bruce, he was too busy eating the soup, ha ha, i only know where 1 elder tree is growing, so that will be today's task, see if i can find jelly ear, so glad you gave the other names as i thought i was wrong saying it was Jews ear.

All you foragers say to consult your doctor before. I don't know of any doctor that would take the legal risk of telling you to eat something growing in the wild.

Please don’t take the Lord’s name in vain Stelly 😢.
