Thanks for getting straight to the point- perfect for a beginner like myself, who gets lost in the terminology some more experienced hunters narrate their video with. Having the markers and guidance of nearby plants is great! Happy hunting (and love to see your boy out bonding through the experience:) get em started young!)
Psychedelics definitely has potential to deal with health issues like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them but it's hard to source them here
@@peterestrada8542 My friend told me about psilocybin shrooms. helped him deal with trauma, anxiety and depression. I would love to try them though I haven't found any legit growers to get.
Here in Nebraska the start of the season can happen any time from the last half of March to first half of April and last as long as up to June. By June it’s all over with, unless you’re really lucky. Interesting story, I was out pheasant hunting with my old bird dog Boo, 2nd week of November this particular year, and we stopped to rest atop a hill with a small patch of pine trees, some of which were cedars, and I found a dammed morel mushroom that day ! I just absolutely could not believe it ! I bent over to pick it, and once I got it between my fingers I could tell it was dried - hard, but perfectly preserved. Great job taking the kids with ya. My dad started taking us when I was around 5. He always said more eyes on the ground equals more mushrooms. Good luck hunting brother
I live in Minnesota, Mother's day is our morel hunting season start. Dead elms, Apple trees are prime spots to look around. No pine trees, too acidic. 😊❤
If you ever make it into the Talhequah area, the tributaries around the corp land surrounding Tenkiller have some great beds most years. Good runs this year around Burnt Cabin & Sugar Mtn.
Tall grass in a meadow type setting with a creek, I could smell them and kept going back through finally felt something hit my foot and saw a head peeking out of the grass,ended up with around 90 that had long stems under the grass 6-8 inch stems all under tall grass.. yummy!
I always let the fallen leaves stay in my backyard over the winter. Tho times when doing my spring raking, I’ve uncovered several morels. A neighbor who live about a quarter mile from me on the same street, also found a couple. Our backyards abut an old growth forest.
In my neck of the woods it's gonna start kicking off here anyday. We're just starting to get some of the temperatures. I want love to be actually finding them for at least another week to 10 days
These mushrooms just popped up in my flower along my house just a couple days ago. Theres about 6-8 of them. Also we had 4 days of rain follwed by 2 days pf nice sunny weather. Lived here 9 years first time seeing em
Just make sure they look exactly like this and not the chubby red ones which are likely false morrells and deadly. More than likely you have the real deal and if so they should come back next year and beyond. Is there a big tree nearby (within 20 feet)?
I google "morel mushrooms map" and it shows people all over the u.s. who r finding morels. Most post pics also. It allows me in northern Ohio to get ready once Cincinnati then Columbus starts posting their finds. It's always around April 10th for me in North Ohio. Gl
You have to think about it in terms of boundaries or wall barricades where the mycelium root fingers are stopped from spreading and wherever you can find that you'll find the fruit ie shrooms. So fencerows with old post fire slash burn areas creek edges places like that. Even transitioning areas from woods to pasture. Some say I'm wrong but because they find them by dead trees elm or ash but the reason for that is the tree the mycelium has the relationship with has died triggering the mycelium to fruit so as to spread spores and create new mycelium to continue on reproducing. So the myceliums way of reproducing is to fruit or pop up a shrooms to spread spores to root new myceliums.
Thanks for the tips. I'm here in south central Kansas, just north of you, and man do I need advise. I've found a couple jackpots before and that's it, and they are never in the same area. It doesn't help that it won't rain this year. Do you harvest oyster mushrooms in the fall? If not, you should, they are way easier to find too. But man do I want a mess of morels!
Doesn’t make much of a difference. If you get a good haul you’ll just be grating your shrooms. A nice thought but If you found it, it’s been dropping spores
Yall are hilarious. Yall come up with the craziest theories. The fungus is already under the ground. Morels are basically the fruit that bares from it 😂
And fruit is the way a plant or fungus spreads. I have no clue if a mesh bag helps but it surely doesnt hurt. And I pick mushrooms where I dump my morel water.
When I find 1 or several, I usually find several for the next 2 to 3 days. Then Take a few days off n go back n sometimes I'll find more but yes, def do 3 straight days if u can
April 7th, 2023. I live by Spring River in Miami and have never found any morels. We are having temps in the low 30’s at night for a day or two but it’s been in the 60’s during the day. I will keep looking. I appreciate your video, it gives me hope. Thank you! Do you think that living by the river, it floods sometimes, that I have a better chance of having/finding them or less chance?
I would say that you would have a really good shot. Y’all will be a little behind us. When the night time temps get around like 45-50 and you get some rain it’s time to look!
Does anyone know if they grow in far Northern Maine? I'm in Portage, which is a small 'town' 46 mile South of the Canadian border. Other than patches, the snow here has just melted in the last few weeks. Temps have been nice in the day, averaging around 44°-60ish. Nights are around 40° lows, except we are still getting occasional night time frost alerts. I just started looking the past few days. I've looked around a tree harvest site that was burned a couple years ago, as well as a fav trail that goes through an old tree farm, that was harvested years ago and had a lot of wood heaps that were left after cutting. It's mixed hard wood (Elm, Birch, Maple, Dogwood, etc., and conifers, Cedars, etc. The soil is rich and wonderful smelling! I didn't find any true Morels yet, but did find a False Morel (not edible, of course, but encouraging none the less) and according to the web, they like the same type of areas as true Morels, so that was encouraging. The Trillium (some have a closed flower ready to bloom soon, most are barely emerging)) and Fiddleheads are only just emerging, so I'm thinking it might be too early still, so I'm going to continue looking, of course. I'm a newbie to mushroom hunting, having only found some in Eastern Oregon once. I just moved to this area a couple years ago. I would love advice from some people who maybe have found some this far North. I know I'd have better luck toward the coast, but I'm waiting for my next check to have money for a trip. Meanwhile, I'm having fun traipsing the woods around here. 😁 TIA!
I found they are 20-30 feet away from creeks, far, far away from pine needles. And always near oval, tear drop leaves. No luck around oak or maple leaves. Found my first this year, after 3-4 years of looking
I just started I’m Oklahoma and it different than the Appalachia mountains . Ive been looking In run off area last week near fort smith and didn’t find any maybe to late in season
I have not found any recently it has been so dry in Oklahoma!! I’m hoping that we get a rain soon and possibly get to harvest a few more. But it’s been tough without the rain
I used to myshroom hunt it got old fast to many people started to hunt and all my spits got pilfered i had to keep going higher into the hills to find more spots i finally just gave up on morels i like oysters better chicken and chanterelles
HOW DO YOU PREPARE THEM TO EAT AND HOW DO THEY TASTE IN COMPARISON TO BUTTON MUSHROOMS IN THE STORE? I'VE NOT EATEN ANYTHING BUT THOSE. THEY DON'T GROW OTHER THAN A CERTAIN TIME OF YEAR? NONE IN SUMMER? ARE THERE ANY OF THEM BAD, SUCH AS TELLING THEM BY COLOR, OR OLD AND TOUCH? THANKS, THIS WAS VERY INTERESTING. TC
So we do it a few ways. Sometimes we chicken fry them, and sometimes we just sauté in butter. They definitely are different than most store bought mushrooms but they have such a good flavor they are amazing. Very distinct flavor
First of all, slice them in half, from the top down, then put them in salt water overnight, this kills the minute parasites within them, then take them out of the fridge, you can just roll them in flour, or dip them in stirred up eggs, then roll them in flour, put them in a skillet, I prefer a cast iron skillet, and use butter to create the grease, fry them like eggs, turning them over every now and then, when they get a little brown, there done, or you can cook them half way ( without dipping them in eggs ) and put them on wax paper, and freeze them, to have them year round, just take them out of the Tupperware containers, and finish cooking them.
Also, some mushrooms are poisonous, if they look like a toadstool 🍄, I suggest not eating them, the white ones that grow around cow piles are the hallucinagenic ones, that some drug dealers sell, the ones that are know as peyote buttons, are the ones that indians eat before their spirit journey, or before going on the warpath. So, if in doubt, just ask Google on your phone what kind of mushrooms are edible. The ones that are known as truffles, are almost impossible to find, they grow underground, near the roots of trees, anyone I've ever known to hunt them have either a truffle hunting dog or pig, these are the most expensive ones, sometimes going for thousands of dollars each, don't know if they are even in the USA, but I've seen videos of people hunting them in England and France, and they have a dog, or a pig, to help find them, the trained animal, goes sniffing around, and when it starts to dig, the human with them, pulls them aside, and digs them up, some are more rarer than others, and I've seen them go for 5 or 10 thousand dollars... I sure wish I could find those types. The only ones I've ever eaten were honeycomb and dog peckers, that's the only ones that I've ever been taught to find. Honeycomb ones are black, gold or yellow, dog peckers have long stems and a small mushroom head. I've heard that you can eat the ones that I call puff balls, they're big and round, and if you kick one after it's dried out, a little cloud of spores arises. Well, that's about all I know about them. Referring to the honeycomb ones, first comes up the black ones, then the gold ones, and finally are the yellow ones, the last ones are best found around dying elms, and those can be found by the hundreds, I haven't been finding many gold ones, they usually come up around ash trees, but since the emerald ash borer came from overseas, all the ash trees around the Kentuckiana area, are all about dead and gone. But, these trees, make the best firewood, and are the easiest to split, with maybe the exception of popular trees, but they burn up like paper, ash trees are the best firewood, thus the name " Ash ". Good luck, hope this helps.
at 2:53 did you ever find one leave it and have it grow? Ive never seen one growing. Every one i have left and came back too either stayed the same or got ate by deer lol
@@koltonblakley-crinercreeko374 I've left them also and they grow if the weather is right,if it's real dry they don't grow much. When I learned about morel's I noticed them growing in the neighbors yard and on the property line, I let them alone and watched because the guys who showed me how to find them said they don't grow after they pop up. Hog wash! I've never learned this tip in this video and have been struggling to find new spots. Thanks for sharing I love learning new things and will definitely be trying this one.👍👍
@@unsee_the_scene All 3,000 acres of our Ash trees are gone thanks to the emerald ash borer. They wiped us out in 2020 (what a fanfukntastic year that was 🙄). So I’m really sorry to say this but the Ash tree will be extinct in another 5 to 10 years. Or very close to it. 😢
To the OP, large black oaks are almost as good as Elm and Ash, God rest their souls. Sycamores are supposed to be decent also but I’ve never personally found any there. Elm and Ash were always best but black oaks might become #1 now that the emerald ash borer has committed genocide against Ash trees. Cedars though?!? I’ve never heard anyone say that and I’ve never found one under a cedar tree.
IH just missed the boat big time! They continued producing warmed over and over M lookalikes while watching those died-in-the-wool Red people move to JD and when they did finally spend million$ on a new tractor facility and a real competitor for the Green tractors, the farm economy had gone in the crapper and no one was buying! Piss poor timing on IH. But it was really dumb of JI Case who only saw an opportunity to repaint their lackluster Cases red and sell them while ignoring the IH 88 series!
@@koltonblakley-crinercreeko374 I'm lucky in that regard, we have a big bluff around my families land that has a bunch of native paintings on it and we find stuff around there, I made a video on my channel showing it if u would like to see
Well I’ve heard of some men finding 72 moral mushrooms all at once and living to tell about it. But 72 moral women all at once is a bit more deadly. So I vote for the shrooms.
@@davidguelette7036 Lyme is bacterial it’s not a virus and it’s antibiotics resistant and is dormant in the human body kinda similiar to autoimmune diseases. that’s why it’s hard to diagnose. and treatment is usually consists of just treating your symptoms not the actual disease.
Tomorrow, I'll be putting out a video on morel hunting, cause this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.... morels go through an osmosis process overnight, they DON'T grow any bigger than what they pop up as overnight, I'm 63, hunted morels since I was about 8 years old, I've got certain patches that I go to, and I usually find about 100 pounds of morels a year, and that's the word for them, MORELS, you eat mushrooms, you can die, back to the hunting thing, I find morels in an area, I go back there the next day, and there's more, and there's no way I can miss that many morels, another thing, besides carrying a onion bag, you pinch off, or take a pocket knife, and cut the morel from the spore in which it grew, and I guarantee you there will be more there the next year, as to the onion bag, just take the morel, hold it towards the ground, take a deep breath, and blow into the bottom of the morel, this will spread the spores more than just carrying them around in a onion bag. Also, if you want a lot of them, learn your trees, ash and elm are the best, also good places are where you find populars, pines, dogwoods and cedars. But, the biggest thing... look on hills that face east they get more sunshine than any other. So, there's some clues for you to find morels, I promise you, if you look under those trees, you'll find morels. Good luck, the Morel man from Kentucky!!!
@@ROUGHANDREADYweTakeAMERICAback ain't ever been to Idaho, I live in Indiana. I'd love to come sometime, but it'll probably be another unfulfilled dream. I just know, where I go, they are already big, and I look under the same trees, one day there'll be a bunch, the next day, there'll be a bunch more, and I know, as hard as I look, I couldn't have missed them, especially, when they are right beside the one's I found the day before, cause I can see the stems from the ones the day before. I can't believe that they are already coming up in Idaho, isn't it still snowing and cold up there? Here, they usually don't pop up until it's at least 50 degrees at night.
@@dannysmith4447 There not up yet here, way to much snow, but I get them every year on my property. Probably next month about the same time as asparagus. I get them all summer if it's wet enough . And chase them up the mountains as the snow melts. Yellow ones in my yard and river bottoms, and black ones in the mountains. A lot of competition up there. You should definitely make trip out here, beautiful country. I never been to Indiana maybe someday.
@@ROUGHANDREADYweTakeAMERICAback is it good country for horseback riding? Did they ever pan for gold in the rivers and streams up that way? Or is that more towards Colorado? I've often thought about just getting some horses, pack some supplies, and follow the way Lewis and Clark went to the Ocean on that side of the country, but by land. I might be 63, but I'm still in good health, I often go camping for a month or two, I would like to metal detect some of those ghost towns, or explore where the Anastazi build those cliffside dwellings. I'd just have to watch out for the grizzlies, they are up that way, right? I guess the Cherokee blood in me, just wants to get up and go...but finances have always been the problem. Soon, I have a court case that should be over, a car backed into me and broke my arm, arm is healed, and there's nothing holding me back, being adopted, there's no family to worry about, and I was a carpenter most my life, building a log cabin wouldn't be much a problem. Just go up in the mountains and live the rest of my life, off the grid, someday somebody would find my bones, and bury me where I lay, if the animals didn't take care of that.
@@dannysmith4447 sounds like me, but I'm 50, horseback is the best. The gold is amazing , the frank church wilderness is the biggest in the lower 48. And Idaho is an off-grid dream. The grizzlies are only bad if you surprise them or mess with there cubs. The moose are a bit persnickety. the hunting is great.
I can recommend you to where I get my stuff from an online store his got his got Shrooms, psychedelics, alongside other products well Refined ships to anywhere discreetly.
No no no this is such vague advice. Don't listen to this advice people. Morels grow off host trees primarily. You can go look across five counties of flood planes and never see one. Follow the host trees like elms and tulip poplar. START there ! Go to a place where there is mixed hardwoods, a good combination of sun, shade, and water such as trails along rivers. Where there is ground disturbance, sun, shade and water AND the host trees, you WILL find morels in these areas. That you can bank on ! Trail spot once you find these areas. Trust me. Focus on the southern sides of the hills early on and after that when most tree flowers are blossoming it's prime time for morels. They are large and prime at this time. After it rains go look ! Contrary to popular belief they do not grow huge overnight because of rain, you will have success after rain because of contrast. You can see the mature morels much easier in a damp Forrest. Best time to look, especially for a beginner !
This really isn't bad advice. Elms and tulip poplar are great out east. Burn morels in conifer forest out west are wild! However, there are species that are symbiotic with grass(some mushroom growers have figured this out and grow morels I'm bulk now). This all being said, my earliest spot that I find morchella diminutiva grow on the side of a gravel road with no host trees that would make sense in the area. Morel of the story... haha... mushrooms do what they want! Learn all the different angles and have some fun with it!!!
Mushrooms and prespawn bass. My favorite time of year!

Last year was first year I found some around cedars. So exciting! Hopefully you are having a great year!
Thanks for watching!
The more spores dropped the better. There used to be way more bags than there are today.
This video reminded me how much I like Morels sautéed and added in my scrambled eggs. Time to get searching.
Thanks for the tips Kolton, still haven't had a chance to find morel. Hopefully next year again, we keep trying
I live in Minnesota, Mother's day is our morel hunting season start. Dead elms, Apple trees are prime spots to look around. No pine trees, too acidic. 😊❤
In MI it's just after Mother's day as well
White pines and red pines!
Same here in Michigan..
That’s a good rule of thumb here in Michigan too Mother’s Day is always the best week
Here in KY, there are Morels growing in my backyard at the edge of the woods right underneath a bunch of Pine trees. Lol

I used to myshroom hunt it got old fast to many people started to hunt and all my spits got pilfered i had to keep going higher into the hills to find more spots i finally just gave up on morels i like oysters better chicken and chanterelles
I have found maybe 20 here in Michigan
HOW DO YOU PREPARE THEM TO EAT AND HOW DO THEY TASTE IN COMPARISON TO BUTTON MUSHROOMS IN THE STORE? I'VE NOT EATEN ANYTHING BUT THOSE. THEY DON'T GROW OTHER THAN A CERTAIN TIME OF YEAR? NONE IN SUMMER? ARE THERE ANY OF THEM BAD, SUCH AS TELLING THEM BY COLOR, OR OLD AND TOUCH? THANKS, THIS WAS VERY INTERESTING. TC
Before you collect and eat any wild mushroom be sure of what you are looking at. There are false morels and people can react to their toxicity.
So we do it a few ways. Sometimes we chicken fry them, and sometimes we just sauté in butter. They definitely are different than most store bought mushrooms but they have such a good flavor they are amazing. Very distinct flavor
First of all, slice them in half, from the top down, then put them in salt water overnight, this kills the minute parasites within them, then take them out of the fridge, you can just roll them in flour, or dip them in stirred up eggs, then roll them in flour, put them in a skillet, I prefer a cast iron skillet, and use butter to create the grease, fry them like eggs, turning them over every now and then, when they get a little brown, there done, or you can cook them half way ( without dipping them in eggs ) and put them on wax paper, and freeze them, to have them year round, just take them out of the Tupperware containers, and finish cooking them.
Also, some mushrooms are poisonous, if they look like a toadstool 🍄, I suggest not eating them, the white ones that grow around cow piles are the hallucinagenic ones, that some drug dealers sell, the ones that are know as peyote buttons, are the ones that indians eat before their spirit journey, or before going on the warpath. So, if in doubt, just ask Google on your phone what kind of mushrooms are edible. The ones that are known as truffles, are almost impossible to find, they grow underground, near the roots of trees, anyone I've ever known to hunt them have either a truffle hunting dog or pig, these are the most expensive ones, sometimes going for thousands of dollars each, don't know if they are even in the USA, but I've seen videos of people hunting them in England and France, and they have a dog, or a pig, to help find them, the trained animal, goes sniffing around, and when it starts to dig, the human with them, pulls them aside, and digs them up, some are more rarer than others, and I've seen them go for 5 or 10 thousand dollars... I sure wish I could find those types. The only ones I've ever eaten were honeycomb and dog peckers, that's the only ones that I've ever been taught to find. Honeycomb ones are black, gold or yellow, dog peckers have long stems and a small mushroom head. I've heard that you can eat the ones that I call puff balls, they're big and round, and if you kick one after it's dried out, a little cloud of spores arises. Well, that's about all I know about them. Referring to the honeycomb ones, first comes up the black ones, then the gold ones, and finally are the yellow ones, the last ones are best found around dying elms, and those can be found by the hundreds, I haven't been finding many gold ones, they usually come up around ash trees, but since the emerald ash borer came from overseas, all the ash trees around the Kentuckiana area, are all about dead and gone. But, these trees, make the best firewood, and are the easiest to split, with maybe the exception of popular trees, but they burn up like paper, ash trees are the best firewood, thus the name " Ash ". Good luck, hope this helps.
The underground system is called mycelium
Thank you the word left me while filming 😂
at 2:53 did you ever find one leave it and have it grow? Ive never seen one growing. Every one i have left and came back too either stayed the same or got ate by deer lol
Yep! I have seen them grow if you can keep them from getting stolen!
@@koltonblakley-crinercreeko374 I've left them also and they grow if the weather is right,if it's real dry they don't grow much. When I learned about morel's I noticed them growing in the neighbors yard and on the property line, I let them alone and watched because the guys who showed me how to find them said they don't grow after they pop up. Hog wash! I've never learned this tip in this video and have been struggling to find new spots. Thanks for sharing I love learning new things and will definitely be trying this one.👍👍
I found a colony on the side of a well used forest service road. So weird.
That’s awesome some times they are where you wouldn’t expect
So they're more into acidic soil?
I look everywhere, whoever I have the honey hole on my land that produces 300 to 1000 a year lol
What other types of trees can you find them by? I know about cedars and elms. But up here most of the elms died from dutch elms disease
Ash are great especially if the bark is slipping

@@unsee_the_scene All 3,000 acres of our Ash trees are gone thanks to the emerald ash borer. They wiped us out in 2020 (what a fanfukntastic year that was 🙄). So I’m really sorry to say this but the Ash tree will be extinct in another 5 to 10 years. Or very close to it. 😢
To the OP, large black oaks are almost as good as Elm and Ash, God rest their souls. Sycamores are supposed to be decent also but I’ve never personally found any there.
Elm and Ash were always best but black oaks might become #1 now that the emerald ash borer has committed genocide against Ash trees.
Cedars though?!? I’ve never heard anyone say that and I’ve never found one under a cedar tree.
@@derrickrr5516 damn dude don't tell me that, that's terrible.. and I'm in Oklahoma and under cedar trees is a very common hiding spot
IH just missed the boat big time! They continued producing warmed over and over M lookalikes while watching those died-in-the-wool Red people move to JD and when they did finally spend million$ on a new tractor facility and a real competitor for the Green tractors, the farm economy had gone in the crapper and no one was buying! Piss poor timing on IH. But it was really dumb of JI Case who only saw an opportunity to repaint their lackluster Cases red and sell them while ignoring the IH 88 series!
I picked two of those. are they edible?
They are excellent. Make sure that you know you have them identified correctly and enjoy.
Make sure they are hollow on tje inside
My family has 1000 acres and I've tried to find them on the property for years and I've found more arrowheads than mushrooms lol
I wouldn’t mind finding a few arrowheads lol.
@@koltonblakley-crinercreeko374 I'm lucky in that regard, we have a big bluff around my families land that has a bunch of native paintings on it and we find stuff around there, I made a video on my channel showing it if u would like to see
@@missourimongoose8858 yeah man I’ll go check that out!!
👍
Cool hat where can I get one

Can't find any in missouri..I know there around
You guys are probably behind us but it should be coming soon!!
I'm in Iowa right over the border and some family still down in MO are finally starting to find a few! They're coming brother
Which is rarer in Oklahoma, a moral mushroom or a moral woman?
Lol that is the question of the year 🤣
I can answer for TN. The woman.
Well I’ve heard of some men finding 72 moral mushrooms all at once and living to tell about it.
But 72 moral women all at once is a bit more deadly.
So I vote for the shrooms.
😂 tell me
😂
Top performance between you and your youngin we all know he didn't just happen to find that LOL
😊🇬🇷🍄
I need to find myself some Morals 😅
👆 my handle descriptions got better 🍄's and other psychedelics products🍄
I just trip over them in my yard
Shhhhh.......😁
Yeah...the out of shape and unhealthy breathing is getting on my nerves too.
Where the deer poop near the water source
Little gray most can't see it
Moral mushrooms?
Those hot spots are kept very quiet. Never give that info away. Too many crooks out there.
Whew the camera work, I am so dizzy now!
i’ve been looking for morals for 8 years and just recently have retired and my career stats are 0 but i did get lyme disease though
Yup.One thing that seems to be exploding with the milder winters are those #%%$@! Ticks!
@@davidguelette7036 my dog has it to from foraging.
my dog got it too i always brought him with me amd now he can barely walk because of his lyme disease .
@@davidaustad7798 There is a canine vaccine for lymes, I don't know if it's an option after already contracting it.
@@davidguelette7036 Lyme is bacterial it’s not a virus and it’s antibiotics resistant and is dormant in the human body kinda similiar to autoimmune diseases. that’s why it’s hard to diagnose. and treatment is usually consists of just treating your symptoms not the actual disease.
more rail the correct pronunciations
The problem with people in Facebook groups. They really aren't helpful because it seems like everyone turns into a asshole when you ask any questions.
You look everywhere for mushrooms... I've found them all kinds of places
sure, but chances are greater around preferred environments
I look everywhere as well. I was just attempting to share the places I feel like I have a better chance of finding them. Thanks for watching.
I'm sorry, did he say moral mushrooms? Will having good moral values help to find more morel mushrooms?
Never heard of a moral mushroom ?
Always been meerel for me
@@rickycurtis5334that's probably the most incorrect way you could say it
@@Intolerant93 well down here in the south we call it that I'm not a northerner so yall may call it differently so ain't gotta be a bitch about it
Lol
Ladies and gentlemen we found "that guy"
Not everybody has facebook but all the sheep do.
Tomorrow, I'll be putting out a video on morel hunting, cause this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.... morels go through an osmosis process overnight, they DON'T grow any bigger than what they pop up as overnight, I'm 63, hunted morels since I was about 8 years old, I've got certain patches that I go to, and I usually find about 100 pounds of morels a year, and that's the word for them, MORELS, you eat mushrooms, you can die, back to the hunting thing, I find morels in an area, I go back there the next day, and there's more, and there's no way I can miss that many morels, another thing, besides carrying a onion bag, you pinch off, or take a pocket knife, and cut the morel from the spore in which it grew, and I guarantee you there will be more there the next year, as to the onion bag, just take the morel, hold it towards the ground, take a deep breath, and blow into the bottom of the morel, this will spread the spores more than just carrying them around in a onion bag. Also, if you want a lot of them, learn your trees, ash and elm are the best, also good places are where you find populars, pines, dogwoods and cedars. But, the biggest thing... look on hills that face east they get more sunshine than any other. So, there's some clues for you to find morels, I promise you, if you look under those trees, you'll find morels. Good luck, the Morel man from Kentucky!!!
Here in Idaho they grow best in the cottonwood, Aspen and pine trees. And the morels in my back yard get bigger every day, giants after 4 weeks.
@@ROUGHANDREADYweTakeAMERICAback ain't ever been to Idaho, I live in Indiana. I'd love to come sometime, but it'll probably be another unfulfilled dream. I just know, where I go, they are already big, and I look under the same trees, one day there'll be a bunch, the next day, there'll be a bunch more, and I know, as hard as I look, I couldn't have missed them, especially, when they are right beside the one's I found the day before, cause I can see the stems from the ones the day before. I can't believe that they are already coming up in Idaho, isn't it still snowing and cold up there? Here, they usually don't pop up until it's at least 50 degrees at night.
@@dannysmith4447 There not up yet here, way to much snow, but I get them every year on my property. Probably next month about the same time as asparagus. I get them all summer if it's wet enough . And chase them up the mountains as the snow melts. Yellow ones in my yard and river bottoms, and black ones in the mountains. A lot of competition up there. You should definitely make trip out here, beautiful country. I never been to Indiana maybe someday.
@@ROUGHANDREADYweTakeAMERICAback is it good country for horseback riding? Did they ever pan for gold in the rivers and streams up that way? Or is that more towards Colorado? I've often thought about just getting some horses, pack some supplies, and follow the way Lewis and Clark went to the Ocean on that side of the country, but by land. I might be 63, but I'm still in good health, I often go camping for a month or two, I would like to metal detect some of those ghost towns, or explore where the Anastazi build those cliffside dwellings. I'd just have to watch out for the grizzlies, they are up that way, right? I guess the Cherokee blood in me, just wants to get up and go...but finances have always been the problem. Soon, I have a court case that should be over, a car backed into me and broke my arm, arm is healed, and there's nothing holding me back, being adopted, there's no family to worry about, and I was a carpenter most my life, building a log cabin wouldn't be much a problem. Just go up in the mountains and live the rest of my life, off the grid, someday somebody would find my bones, and bury me where I lay, if the animals didn't take care of that.
@@dannysmith4447 sounds like me, but I'm 50, horseback is the best. The gold is amazing , the frank church wilderness is the biggest in the lower 48. And Idaho is an off-grid dream. The grizzlies are only bad if you surprise them or mess with there cubs. The moose are a bit persnickety. the hunting is great.
In my neck of the woods we don't call them morals mushrooms because they are called morels.
I can recommend you to where I get my stuff from an online store his got his got Shrooms, psychedelics, alongside other products well Refined ships to anywhere discreetly.
He's on Instagrams also on Telegram with the below handle as...

Not that kinda mushroom dorks. Geez
No no no this is such vague advice. Don't listen to this advice people. Morels grow off host trees primarily. You can go look across five counties of flood planes and never see one. Follow the host trees like elms and tulip poplar. START there ! Go to a place where there is mixed hardwoods, a good combination of sun, shade, and water such as trails along rivers. Where there is ground disturbance, sun, shade and water AND the host trees, you WILL find morels in these areas. That you can bank on ! Trail spot once you find these areas. Trust me. Focus on the southern sides of the hills early on and after that when most tree flowers are blossoming it's prime time for morels. They are large and prime at this time. After it rains go look ! Contrary to popular belief they do not grow huge overnight because of rain, you will have success after rain because of contrast. You can see the mature morels much easier in a damp Forrest. Best time to look, especially for a beginner !
This really isn't bad advice. Elms and tulip poplar are great out east. Burn morels in conifer forest out west are wild! However, there are species that are symbiotic with grass(some mushroom growers have figured this out and grow morels I'm bulk now). This all being said, my earliest spot that I find morchella diminutiva grow on the side of a gravel road with no host trees that would make sense in the area. Morel of the story... haha... mushrooms do what they want! Learn all the different angles and have some fun with it!!!
FYI, It's, "Mor EL", not "MorL"
Как вы много говорите. Меньше слов, больше дел!
Nope use a plastic bag collect all the spores so then you can plant them in your own yard
looks west point is sending out radar pulses
Those aren't moral mushrooms, they are morel
