transilvania is inhabited by what people mainly? what metrics are you using for such a claim? if anyone else wants to know the majority of people living in romania are ethnical romanians and the language spoken universally is romanian. please stop spreading such harmful untruths

They could make this a massive business by calling it all natural vegan leather and sell it internationally.

thank you for sharing this, i apricate it so much Would love to move out there and learn the craft before its lost. Edit: 4:20 Wait, so ... you guys killed off that mushroom and its not useful??? Is that bad? Why not climb up and check before removing it? Edit 2: Ironic I have a issue at 4:20

Oh no… what of we lose the art of making hats out of mushrooms? …no, seriously. What if? Are there any real consequences? I didn’t think so.

Now I have truly seen everything.

Could it be made into shoes?

Imagine if this guy and the cucumber hat guy got together 😁

If times were/are hard could you boil & eat the hat?

Real vegan leather

One piece? That's insane.

I have been trying to figure out how I could do this for years! We don’t seem to have the same polypore fungus around here. Recently I have found that a fungus we do have (gamoderma oregonence) seems like a good candidate. It has a thick “trama” that is super soft and airy light. Still trying to figure out how to get it to stretch though. Could be the current examples I have are too long dead and have lost their elasticity. I have my eye on some fresh ones. The video talked about boiling in ash water for making tinder. Did the fungus for hat making get the same treatment? Was it dry or wet when he was stretching it? I feel like figuring this out is finally within reach.

I will become gnome and no one can stop me

Amazing! Greetings from USA!

Learned that from Paul Stamets a few years ago.

Hes got that house of telvanni drip

Wonderful video, nothing better watch see people use natural material for crafting and an unusual to that 😃 Also, will recommend a friend who do some homemade tailoring and sometimes she makes hats to attend hat parade...

Какой запах у хорошего гриба? Чем пахнет? Спасибо🌺

This the hat o joe rogan

I love your voice!

I want a mushroom hat :0

I thought rolf from Ed edd and Eddy was joking about the fungus hats.

There's also a British guy who makes mushroom leather products, he also makes many other things like leather from fish skin and many other animal skin product's aswel as natural pigments to color stuff with!🙂✌️

What a unique culture! These days you hear about mushrooms as a modern replacement for leather and other materials, but it looks like people have been doing this for a long time in Romania.

You should also watch this amazing documentary about Karoly: guidedoc.tv/documentary/memoirs-of-metiers-the-gardener-of-the-carpathians-documentary-film/

Sir! you need to get in contact with this gentleman again and tell him he needs to sell hats worldwide! I would LOVE to have one!!!!!! I'd pay whatever for shipping to have it here too! I've never heard of these hats before and these are incredible!

Can I get one with added garlic to stop Dracula?

Okay

Transylvania is inhabited mostly by Hungarians, where did you find this?

His formative years now over and his freedom re-gained, Julian Assange has created an entirely new life and identity for himself; spending his days now in Eastern Europe, learning local hand and bushcraft.

How can I buy

This is so cool, I really hope some young people take this up and can keep passing it on. It would be a real shame for this craft to die out. I'd love to know what it feels like to stretch this mushroom, I've never encounteted anything like it, it's so interesting! Why would the shepards burn fires under the trees? Ate they trying to weaken them or is it just a nice place for a fire? It sounds like they do it because cutting them is not allowed. Is it posdible to add any type of color or would that be destructive to the leather?

Important and fascinating work. Thank you for sharing.

Wow only heard once from hats made out of mushroom leather but had never seen the process how it is done. Thank you a lot for documenting it.

Thank you a lot! Never heard about beechnutoil and its uses!

I love it!!

Thats a market i. Riga? Wholy smokes they eat natural there…

thank you so much for sharing, this is such a wonderful video

😅If I can grow them and make more hat to sell, it's amazing🎉🎉

So this is what the mushroom 🍄 "this is an explosive area of conversation" guy was wearing.

And where can I buy a hat?

Is there any concise answer for *why* someone would want to make a hat out of a mushroom instead of just making it out of leather or something?

I have made tinder out of birtch mushrooms for 30 years but never imagined that I could make a hat 😮 Totally loved this video 🥰

Definitely getting that book soon

Fascinating! I never would have thought fungus could be used in such a way.

The Paul Stamets hat!

Amazing knowledge!

My comment has no value to the reader.

Amazing!
