Those mushrooms you found are pheasant back mushrooms. They are delicious when you can find them before they get big and chewy/leathery. But the freshest part on the big ones is usually still good. I like putting smoked paprika and garlic on them to make mushroom bacon. They aren't the prized morels, but they are still a good edible mushroom. They are good dehydrated too and used as a powder. It's a good way to make use of the big ones you've got there. Or could perhaps make mushroom jerky with them. I loved seeing Ellie living her best life in this video! Dogs being dogs is pretty great.
@@TinyCabinLife The ones you got close to looked really fresh, so definitely edible. They can grow pretty big pretty quickly when there's moisture from rain. I live about 2 hours from the cities and recently got one that was a little bit smaller than those and the whole mushroom was good to eat. The part closer to the tree was chewier though. But I made mushroom bacon for BLTs so it wasn't super noticeable since I saute them pretty crispy. Spring time is a good time for finding them in our area, but I also find them in summer and fall when the weather is on the moist side of things. Generally when they are past their prime for eating they are turning brown on the edges, are really tough feeling, seem soaked like they are holding a ton of water, have worms in them, or are dried out. Checking for worms is the best indicator of freshness really. If there aren't worms yet it's a nice fresh mushroom. The indicators it's a pheasant back mushroom are that honeycomb type gill on the underside, the pheasant looking pattern on the top side, and the fact that it's all one big seamless mushroom coming from the tree rather than the type of mushrooms that have a top and a clear single stem. Those looked perfectly edible. If they are seeming really chewy then they might be more suited for dehydrating and using as a powder for soup or flavoring different foods. But I would think at least the outer couple of inches of them should still be pretty tender to enjoy. And since it's a new mushroom to you I always caution to not eat too much in one sitting until your body adjusts to the new wild food. So I wouldn't suggest eating all of them in one sitting, but you could definitely make some mushroom bacon BLTs and enjoy them.
Impressed w/your log splitting skills. I thought I could chop up some logs in my yard, but nope. I gave my axe away 'cause I just knew I'd probably hit my foot. Now, I just order it!
And yes, look at the wild flowers, the streams, the greenery. Nothing will ever replace life as intended to be. Even the dog loves it. This is the real world. It is sad how life has changed,. Smell the forest, touch the water. Feel the surroundings, listen to the birds. Listen to traffic, and how horrible it sounds. Love the chimes blowing in the wind. This is truly meaningful. This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. In today's world, you are right, doesn't get better than this. It is truly sad what our world has become. What has happened to social interaction the way it was intended to be. I look beyond life in a different light.
Glad to see you wearing hearing protection, now get those safety glasses on. Don't want to miss seeing that beautiful daughter of yours grow up! That's enough preaching, wonderful video. Can't believe how fast the ferns are growing. Nice to see Ellie being Ellie ❤️ And as always give the girls a kiss from me and have a dandy weekend brother 😉
What a beauty of nature I meant to say earlier, indeed does not get any better than that you are so blessed!! Jesus Bless you and keep you!! Never forget to give Him all the worship Praise and glory only and Exclusively to Him for His eternal glory and power for with Him all things are possible and without Him we are nothing!! Jesus Bless you and keep you and your Precious Family!! 🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻
That was so fun! I think Ellie video bombed your vlog this week. I loved it. Give her a hug for me. You’re doing so well with cleaning up the woods. Lota hard work but it looks so good. Give my love to the family 💜💜💜💜
Such a beautiful video, relaxes me every time. The sounds and scenery are so peaceful. That jump Ellie made I had watch about 4 times, it was epic! Blessings to you & your family❤
I just love your videos. Such a wonderful life from the hustle and bustle. Peace and tranquility is what life is all about enjoying nature, getting away from technology, Enjoying the comforts of the rain, the cabin, a good night sleep, good food. It is a challenge but worth it. Nothing beats the feeling of this way of life when you can enjoy this. We all need to feel the sense of comfort in this way. Forget the cities, traffic, stress etc. Get to know who you are. And what better place than the wilderness.
Just beautiful to watch spring come to your cabin! Ellie is so precious...she sure loves swimming!! And that wood... can you imagine that before chainsaws?! Beautiful video!
I think I've watched this one 3 times, now. Beautiful camera work. I especially liked the night shot at 12:29 from inside your cabin, over the fire with you and Ellie in the background. And Ellie getting all muddied up before joining you in the cabin! Hilarious! Blessings to you, Rylie, Olivia and Ellie.
Eli is awesome she is so funny I loved the look on her face when she was in the pond stuff on her face and you said 'do you really have to do that?' hilarious. It is so nice seeing how green it is now x
Ellie was hilarious 😂 😂😂 out there in the pond she was to cute ❤ that little cabin is setting in a great place . Love seeing the wild life and the snow in the winner.
Oh my gosh I had to LOL at Ellie’s gunk face. 😂 But the gorgeous ferns and that sweet little violet? What a wonderful place. The itty bitty house like mine is a bonus! Along with the visitors you get as well! 🙏🏻❤️
Hi everybody!! What is going o. With the sillyness of Ellie getting so dirty in those dirty waters!!! I could not help but laugh my heart out!!🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻🥰🙏🏻!! She is so precious!!
Your area looks like it has a history of you cleaning up the trees on a regular basis. I notice this because, a hundred years ago when I was young, I worked grounds for a country club. We had this one area that was loaded with downed brush on a hill above the 8th green. It was about a hundred yards worth. The Superintendent ordered me to clear out all of the dead to the point where the ground could be smooth enough to mow, and it took about two weeks to do it. When I was done, I walked down to that green. It was like a heavy breeze coming off of that hill, which I'd never felt before. After that, I paid much closer attention to my own property.
Absolutely! We have definitely tried to keep it up over the years. Before I had the cabin, it was much easier to just burn the piles right then and there instead of cutting it into firewood, splitting it ect. Definitely a lot of work, but worth it!
@@TinyCabinLife You are one of my favorite channels I love watching you guys and I love that I get to watch Olivia grow up Thanks Jack for sharing and let me watch your journey I think of it as a blessing Thanks again May God bless you always
Ellie is such a great companion .Good to get the wood cut for the winter .I need to get mine done as I put it in the greenhouse ,its like kilm dried wood
ahhhhhhh !!! a whiskey by the fire !!!! i still wanna see you cook a family favorite dinner on one of your vids,,,, but make it a good one and give us the full recipe please
Ellie had me laughing the way she dives into that water lol she looks 😮so dirty lol hilarious it was so nice watching so relaxing ❣️until your next video stay safe stay healthy stay strong ✌🏼
So nice to see this...Elly getting dirty and then most likely to jump on your bed like my Zoe did lol, anyway, we just got back from Nova S otia road trip, it was 5he most beutiful place ever!!, especially Cape Bretton Island! I highly recommend this road trip!!! Keep the videos rolling!!!!!❤🎉
Elli is one of God’s greatest works 😘
I love everything about this channel, but Elli is hands down my favorite.
Haha she’s the star for sure 🤙🏽
This channel is my oasis in a crazy world, the outdoors is my church.
I believe Ellie had the best time of all! 💕🌸
Definitely 😂
Ellie is a perfect creature. 😂

Hey my friend, don't forget to use your safety glasses when cutting wood.....your eyes are precious!!!
Great reminder 👍🏽👍🏽

Perfect scenario harvesting your own firewood before sitting down in the woods lighting the fire pit and relaxing with a whisky. D.Tatts.

She could have her own channel...the pond was priceless.
Haha she should
