Why were traditional houses in Uttarakhand and Himachal region made of stone and deodar wood, while in the rest of India, mud was mostly used?
Insulation and better protection against earthquakes, stone houses were coated with mud, mostly red soil found in Himalayas, which provided excellent insulation against harsh weather conditions. This also helped in harvesting honey, houses have tiny holes for bees to live with a large opening towards inside that is sealed with soil and only opened when honey has to be harvested, the red soil putty has a smell that naturally attracts honeybees.
The houses built of stones have a very thick wall, at least 1.5-2ft, that's the case with my house in my village which is by the way, approx 300 years old. The deodar wood is straight and it is flexible under tensile loads, under compression it is stronger, exactly what you need to build a house in an earthquake prone area. This provides the houses excellent rigidity while also providing decent protection during earthquakes.
The homes are like incubators, with a lot of wooden build, they also helped ripe the fruits like Banana, etc which find it hard in such colder climates.

What Should I Do?
You should not change your attitude towards your mother for the choice she has taken, your not sent by god to do justice to anyone.she will suffer or enjoy the fruits of her own karmic action.
If she is fulfilling all of her responsibilities towards you , you should also do the same.
As for whether you tell others or not ? All those decisions will initiate a hell lot of karmic chains , so it is upto you to take a choice.
People make a lot of choices , we should never bash the other person , without knowing all sides to the story. -

You went on to ask where to sell them lol. First find a quantiry worth selling because that in itself is a daunting task brother. Also, ask someone on the ground who has been going to the forest to find them. You said yourself that you know some people who do this. I don't think redditors would know very much about it. -

Buses should be given preference and right of way. It's the cars that are making the road congested. Buses could've turned sooner and not caused a jam if the cars actually gave the way instead of trying to squeeze themselves in. -
