Thanks for your comment. Although, this plant doesn't make much of a sound when you step on it. I wonder if the plant you are referring to is this: gobotany.nativeplanttrust.org/species/symplocarpus/foetidus/
@DinaFalconi Thanks for responding to such an old video. So,I live on the west coast (eastern high Sierras).The plant you showed on that video grows in our alpine zones,at 6500' up to about just shy of 8000'. The fall months get pretty dry,so they certainly make quite a crunch when stepped on.I will be harvesting some this fall,during the dried phase I've described,namely for its seeds. I am enjoying your vids,have subbed,and looking forward to more of them. Thanks again!
Yes, happy to respond. For me the videos and the content on my channel are timeless and I enjoy communicating about them. Good to know where you are located! What will you do with the mullein seeds? @@JEM133
@DinaFalconi Grow them. I live a bit of a drive away from my source.Will probably harvest,some of the native soil as well, they thrive well there,and I bet it would be wise.
Smiling looking at Mullein clinging to your sweater! 🥰 and also hearing the woodpecker in the background! Glad I noticed someone’s mention of more videos on Instagram! Thank you Dina! Can’t wait to learn more from you! 💖
Oh my goodness, Mullein grows everywhere in the interior British Columbia's mountainous terrain. Here in MA where I now live, it is not found in such an abundance as back home. A few years ago I dug up the roots of a plant that I found under a powerline and planted it in the gravel of my driveway. It came up and I harvest and dehydrate the leaves with such joy. My daughter was hiking in B.C. along a rocky cliff and took photos of a cluster of 6 foot high plants that were of interest to her. She sent me the photo and I was amazed to see that they were mullein. It is amazing that they grow in cracks of rocks with no obvious nutrients. THANK YOU for bringing a moment of the west back to me.
Thank you, Jojo, for your comment. Love hearing about your BC mullein experience, and of your daughter's photo of it. Yes, mullein can grow in what seems like a soilless landscape; pretty amazing.
@@froglobster It grows in most areas of the province, but I most often have seen it in the East and West Kootenays. Go on any side road off the main highway and you will find it along the side of dirt roads.
I was saying in my head the word "dirt" just as you said it out loud. Felt nice to accurately predict what you would say it smelt like. This plant has just given me my first ever true interest in herbalism which ultimately lead me to your video. Not to say I'm a novice on all things green, however my little veggie garden was only for a summer hobby. And my flower beds make my yard, me.... but I've never much studied (aside from common known) foraged, or gathered my own herbs and medicines. Tonight, I remembered that I as a human, was once much more in tune with my connectivity to nature than I can recall in this lifetime. I guess I'll have to pick up where I left off, :-) thanks
Oh wow it’s all coming together now the fuzzy leaf is the same as that yellow flower cylinder I didn’t even realize I think they usually died before flowering in my yard growing up
I know I'm just now finding this, in 2023. However, for those of us just now 'finding you could you please LINK your 2, 3, or 4 part series at the bottom of each of your videos. It makes it a lot easier to find. YT is not always that helpful to first time channels visitors. Since, the algorithm didn't recognize me as ever having visited your channel before I had a hard time finding you Mullein, "Part 2" video. Thanks for your consideration.

Thanks Dina, very informative :) Is Mullein the best herb for the lungs? I've seen other things recommended too : ginseng osha root eucalyptus elderberry astragalus horehound bergamot lavender peppermint
Thanks, Verbascum thapsus is usually very common, found growing wild, and so thinking you can find some growing nearby. Even so here is a seed source: strictlymedicinalseeds.com/
I’m in Australia and my mullein leaf is a lot darker green - not sage green at all . Grows next to my lambs ear which is quite thick and pale in comparison. def has the huge yellow flowering stalk every 2 years. I wonder are there variations in the species?
@@DinaFalconi Thanks for the response. I saw the other videos on the foraging and feasting instagram account. Transferring the latest ones or even all of them would be great. I hope you keep posting videos here. Thank you.
Hello Darline, You can find mullein throughout the world. Its growing range: United States, Europe, South America, Asia, and more Its native range is Europe, North Africa, and Asia (Azores, Europe to Siberia and W. Himalaya), but it has naturalized around the world. Look for it in anthropogenic sites = man-made or disturbed habitats = roadsides, railroad tracks, where earth moving equipment has been; gardens, rocky outcroppings, meadows, and fields. Soil: prefers well drained, sandy, dry soil, but tolerates many. Sun: full to part shade. USDA growing zones: 3-9. If you'd like to buy it, you can find it at your local herb store or online at Jean's Greens or Mountain Rose Herbs. Hope you can forage for your own!
Hi Dina Falconi! New to this channel and thanks for the video. I wanted to know if Mullein helps with controlling mucus. Mornings are worst for me, however, sometimes throughout the day, I'm still expelling mucus. I don't drink cows milk, but ice cream [ahem] is my kryptonite. Could Mullein help with this? Thanks.
Hello Gregory, thanks for watching and for your comment. I can't speak to you and your health in particular, but generally, yes mullein is used to reduce phlegm.
Thanks, might be so. Perhaps you'd like to view our other mullein videos where I show you how to ID, harvest and find this supportive friend. Links to those are here: ruclips.net/video/djEItd4eAEA/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/Iyt67On1Mhw/видео.html, ruclips.net/video/QHLPZXFB4h0/видео.html
Interesting that you haven't seen any mullein in Michigan. Hoping you can find some dried at your local herb shop or natural food store. Or order from Jeans Greens www.jeansgreens.com/ or Mountain Rose Herbs.
You can find it growing in many parts of the world. Check this map here: powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:770183-1#distribution-map You can also order it online. Check Mountain Rose Herbs.

Your full description was awesome!

Thank you, and please enjoy the rest of the videos on the channel.
This plant reminds me of " lambs ear" ( Canada west/ north region)
Yes, mullein is often confused with lamb's ear. Here is our video about that: ruclips.net/video/QHLPZXFB4h0/видео.html

Very similar to tobacco leaves minus the fuzz.Thanks for this video,very informative and you are so well spoken and easy to listen to..

Thanks, I’ll check Anarchist Mountain this spring or summer.
I see similar plants in southern Appalachia, but having trouble really being sure, because I don’t see anything as large & lush as what you’ve shown.
Hmm..... they do grow in parts of southern Appalachia... and sometimes the plants can be smaller. Do all of the other ID clues match?
Excellent teacher!

Thank you for the positive feedback!!!
by "funky",that the old leaves of 1yo are,is that the goOd or bad type of funky?
VERY SOLID VIDEO!
Leaves from basal rosettes of first year or second year plant is good,; funky leaves that look withered and damaged = not so good.
It's beautiful, I've never seen Mullien in it's fresh form.
Hoping you'll find some mullein plants this growing season.

Hi Dina! I put my mullein video out the other day! You gave me some great pointers, thanks! Lets support each other!
Thanks! Yes!
So something that smells funky is for funky lungs! Makes sense!
Ha!
Di you know it it grown in the south? Ive never seen this anywhere.
Hello Cyrus, yes it grows in the south. Here is its distribution map: plants.sc.egov.usda.gov/home/plantProfile?symbol=VETH
Good morning, glad to find you!
Thank you for appreciating!
It really cleans lungs
Thanks for your comment.
This is awesome! Thank you Dina😊
Most welcome!
Thank you, this is wonderful!
Thank you for appreciating it!
Is store bought mullein tea just as potent as picked on your own would be
Store bought-if picked at the right time, dried well, and isn't too old- should be good. Harvesting your own is probably better though.
Wonderful medicine plants.Love them.
Yes, thanks!
Thanks Dina, very informative :)
Is Mullein the best herb for the lungs? I've seen other things recommended too :
ginseng
osha root
eucalyptus
elderberry
astragalus
horehound
bergamot
lavender
peppermint
Welcome. Mullein is a great lung ally, but yes, there are many other herbs that are good too. Depends on the person, and the circumstance / issue.
@@DinaFalconi Thanks.
Welcome
