Good grief, I never knew that 1:38 I suppose I'm just used to seeing them when they're coppiced. As for the jelly ear fungus, it's the main ingredient for bushcraft jaffa cakes, it even has the same texture 😉. Thanks for the video.
Making whistles from elder is a well-known thing so you're not going to get ill from putting it to your mouth. However, burning the wood and inhaling the smoke wouldn't be good for you. If you're working with groups who are gathering firewood then it's a tree to point out to them to avoid. @@guitarnotator

Is the bark poisonous?

How come the Jelly ear fungus doesn't absorb toxins from the tree? I thought every part of the tree was poisonous apart from the berries and flowers.
It's a great question, and I don't know the answer. But there are no toxins from the tree in the fungi. It's safe to eat.
Ok thanks :)@@WoodlandClassroom
