00:00In this big pumpkin, what's the delicious dish in there?
00:04Mushroom soup.
00:06Mushroom soup.
00:07Soup of mushroom.
00:08What's mushroom?
00:09There's mushroom, there's soup.
00:11There's soup and mushroom.
00:13But I have a trivia for you, Rufa.
00:15Do you know that when it rains, a lot of pumpkins grow?
00:19Yes, it's a blessing from nature.
00:22But if it's saved, it should still be eaten.
00:26Right? Not all of them can be eaten.
00:28Let's find out in this story of Dico Juae.
00:36In its shape and color, it's thought to be a potato.
00:40It usually grows around pine trees,
00:44especially when the ground is wet and the weather is cold.
00:49That's the whole pumpkin.
00:58According to the resident of Itogon, Benguet, JC Peralta,
01:02every rainy season, pumpkins grow near pine trees.
01:06The pumpkin is a type of wild mushroom.
01:09Our ancestors said that it's a source of energy
01:12because it's full of protein.
01:14If you're lucky, you'll find out where they grow.
01:18Every rainy season, around June and July,
01:21it's seasonal.
01:23That's why we need to get it
01:25for our strength.
01:28You should know that the whole pumpkin is also called an earth ball mushroom
01:32because of its shape, according to the mycologist, Leilani Dacones.
01:37There are also specific environmental conditions
01:41for the aboveground to grow.
01:44It's mostly associated with its mutual partner, the tree.
01:50In this case, it's the conifers or the pines
01:53that's why it's mostly found in Benguet or in the region of Cordillera.
01:58During the cooler months,
02:01it sometimes requires enough moisture or water
02:07for it to grow on the surface.
02:10It can grow up to 20 inches
02:13or the size of a basketball.
02:16We can see that it's just pure white.
02:19But when it matures, those areas darken
02:23because that's what we call its spores
02:26or the fertile layer,
02:29because that's what matures as they age.
02:35Three kilometers from J.Cia's house,
02:37you can get almost two kilos of whole pumpkin.
02:42The plucked pumpkin is washed one by one
02:45and chopped to make ground pork mushroom.
02:50Just add onions, garlic, and ginger.
02:52You just saute it like chicken or adobo.
03:01It's a bit bitter, but it's delicious and fragrant.
03:05Whole pumpkin is rich in antioxidants
03:08and can help prevent heart disease and cancer.
03:12According to nutritionist, dietitian Jasmine Balisi,
03:15whole mushrooms are often consumed by Cordilleras.
03:20So far, no one has died from this.
03:23But experts say that consuming it in excess
03:28can cause gastrointestinal disorders
03:32and sometimes it can even kill you.
03:35I've been eating whole mushrooms since I was a kid.
03:38So I believe that there's no poison in it.
03:40In fact, it makes you stronger.
03:44I'm surprised that there's someone who eats it
03:45and doesn't feel any discomfort.
03:48Although, it's poisonous
03:52because it depends on how much you've eaten or consumed.
03:57At least with whole mushrooms,
03:58it's not identified what's the specific compound
04:00that causes these symptoms in those who ingest it.
04:05More studies should be done on whole mushrooms
04:09to find out what the compound is.
04:13It's produced in the region where it's found.
04:17Why do people eat it and no one reports a death from it?
04:22In this rich nature,
04:25not everyone who lives near trees and plants
04:28can eat and consume it.
04:31When consuming whole mushrooms,
04:33don't forget to consult an expert.
04:37I'm Nico Juaje,
04:38and that's the story you need to know.
