@@adammillwardart7831 it could be possible but just because you find the same trees doesn't mean it will grow there. first, you'd have to find the right trees growing near the right mushrooms but even that wouldn't be enough. ghost pipe depend on mycorrhizal fungi , a symbiotic bond between the mushroom and tree, and even if you manage to find where that's occurring, there are a whole host of other factors. we just don't know enough yet to insure the success of transplants so, if there are successful transplants out there, it was probably more a question of luck than anything.

Walking with bare feet can also help you to feel more spiritual and in tune with the Earth because our bare feet, when done safely and in a safe place, allows direct contact with nature. It can make you feel much more grounded as well, as you are, in fact, making direct contact with the ground. Just be cautious because there are parasites and other organisms that can attach and even dig into your skin and cause you problems. But, we have been walking without shoes for thousands of years without any problems. So with common sense, we can walk in bare feet without concern. 🙂👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Ghost Pipe has a mycorizal association not only with Russulaceae mushrooms but also associates with Eastern Hemlock trees in Maine. I'm pretty sure there are other trees it associates with as well. Rather than being parasitic I believe these plants slow down the chaotic speed of messages sent between species in underground networks and mycelium makes it all possible.

I instantly recognized they were a parasitic Ericaceae feeding on mycorrhizae, before later learning what they were in particular. Felt very lucky to catch these things at the right time, not to mention in such a spectacular setting amongst giant coast redwoods in the mist. Needless to say I spent a decent amount of time snapping pictures. They're absolutely stunning to look at.

Likely because it requires a mature mycorhizal network to tie into. It's only been a few decades since we even knew about mycorhizae's significance so I hardly believe anyone has cultured enough of a network to make the plant viable. It has always been one of my faves too. Though as a kid I did dig up a few from my woods hoping to grow them... I regret that because they are a lot fewer these days.

It grows in abundance on Cape Breton Island, NS, Canada. Northern stretch of the Appalachians I think. There is a section of newer growth forest on my property (a mix of alder and spruce, and some wild apple, taking over old grazing fields), where there are literally hundreds of stands of ghost pipe. I’ve made tinctures with both vodka (vibrant purple!), and apple cider vinegar. In the few times I’ve dosed with it I’ve experienced a reduction in pain, a mild euphoria, and a similar calming, deep connectedness that I’ll get with a low psilocybin dose.

As always, a very interesting, informative and naturally 'mystic' show! This subject would make a fine dissertation in Biology, Chemistry and Medicine! Quite probably a grant or position to further study in 'technology/pharmacy' and medical testing!

Found some some years ago. Was awed by it. I was Chantrell harvesting. Since I didn't know what it was, but found it so beautiful, I took a picture of it. Knew it had to be magical ✨️. Deep respect for them.

Ghost pipe found me last year when I was on a walk on my property. This sight was unreal. I really couldn't believe my eyes. I got help identifying it and fell in love with. I had one small patch and only took 1/3 and made my very first tincture. I waited until Halloween to test it for easy remembering. I used the tincture once. I had no expectations. I had no wild mushroom experience and no magic mushroom experience. For about an hour I felt like I had someone else's lips on my face. That was a weird feeling. I was calm for days after. And about a week later my husband and I were on a drive. I was driving over a bridge without fear. Before I would tense up so bad and know I was going to die on every bridge I crossed. And it was gone. Couple weeks later we made our drive and again I was driving and had no fear. So next time my husband drove and I still had no fear. It's been almost a year and I even went to Louisiana and drove on a bridge that was over 20 miles and my fear of spiders is gone too. I don't know but that's my story. Oh and I got scared and threw it away 🙃

I hope you find it again and make another small tincture just incase you need a little bit of it again. I really believe what is needed is put in our paths.

It was super common in the woods I grew up near. Some times I would even find red ones. Then in the winter you would find their dried remains all over the place. I actually did make a tincture from it once for my mom when she broke a rib. She would take a teaspon twice a day and she said it helped alot with the pain.

I've tinctured and dried Ghost pipe most of my life. I learned of medicinal plants and their uses from my grandmother. She used exclusively natural medicines for all of her long life, she passed at 106. I have told no one outside my family. I have large stands of Indian pipe on my property and I guard that no one cuts them along with a host of other medicinal plants, herbs and trees. It is one of many I use in my life. I'm now 70 years old and haven't had to see a doctor in 40 years and have no plans to do so. God and nature will provide.

That is absolutely amazing 👏 I hope that the Lord will provide a property for me that I can find wild medicinals that I can use instead of OTC pharmaceuticals. I am learning more about herbalism currently.

Fortunate to have these in my woods on my property, and an obvious win to know that it is an indicator of a healthy forest. I keep reading that they pop up in July, but where I live in North Western Massachusetts, I see them come up more in September. We also have so many mushrooms that grow on our property and it only makes sense to see these guys, too.

They are not rare in north CT, i find most abundant on the pine side of the Pine, hemlockin valleys/ oak hickory on hills, border, there is also a bright pink variety that tastes like wintergreen that's seems to be tied more to the wintergreen plant itself rather than the black birtch that grows in the same area, those clumps you showed were tiny ours aer2-3" around and 10 to 20 pipes, 6 to10" high, I think you'll find they are much closer tied to fungi than you said, older books list them as a plant/fungus cross, hope that helps.

you're right. In my case I'm experimenting with the plant since I suffer from plaque psoriasis arthritis and back pain. I had already tried its effects years ago in Pennsylvania since a friend gave me a tincture and it was a good experience. But I want to continue doing deeper research.

Spent some time last spring along the Mississippi River last spring for the spring migration. We came across ghost pipes several times. I knew how to harvest a few and the best ways to use them, and I didn't really want to take the time away from chasing warblers to do it, so we ended up not harvesting any. Another one of life's little regrets.

Found a ton of these on my property in the woods (which may have gone decades untouched until we bought it a few years ago) on the other side of my stream. My woods are super dark, so that may be why they seem to be poking out of the ground everywhere. Each one like the size & number of one you focus on by here. Theyre safe here .

Please recover the pipes if your not going to harvest it! They can be sensitive and might wilt. We call it Ghost Pipe here in NJ its the only thing that works on my migraines. Excedrin is ineffective on me I would love to know why.

These used to grow behind my house in the woods. Not only these but the yellow and pink ones as well. And yes I'm being vague on purpose. 😊 But it was an absolute hot spot. I could find thousands at the right time of year. My buddy made a tincture that turned a deep purple once. It worked well.

Isn't possible that the effects would vary just by where it's at, ie. what fungus it's feeding on? Great vid as always.

@janedoe-dy3rr 2 жыл бұрын

I was going to ask this as well. It was stated that it will pick up chemicals from the surrounding trees, so I would think that it's own make up and effects would depend on the sources that it pulls from. That's pretty darn cool actually. You would really need to have a deep understanding of all the different trees and plants in that area just to understand how this plant would be able to be used.

@johnstamos4629 Жыл бұрын

I would assume so. Research into Lions Mane nutrients seem to change wildly depending on season/location/grower/substrate/environment/lighting according to Paul Stamets. This suggests, one cant just claim that a mushroom contains certain values unless you've tested that specific mushroom variety from a specific location. This is seemingly the way of all things.

I’m a graduate student at Penn State and am gearing up to launch a preliminary study on the biochemistry and bioactivity of this plant! The sources that people point to for grayanotoxins being found in ghost pipe come from the late 1800s-early 20th century, so we really have no idea what’s in this plant, or if those compounds change depending on what fungi or trees it’s connected to! I think this plant is so special and I can’t wait to see what we find!
