It breaks my heart the sound it makes when you rip it out of the ground. It's like it's resisting and doesn't want to be torn from it's cosy nest. As always you put out beautiful videos.. RESPECT. Thankyou. Greetings from Greece ( we also are renound for our choice mushrooms). 😊
It's so satisfying when you pull them out the moss. I just want to transport myself to this place but I'm scared of bears. i have never encountered one in the wild. I live in Sweden part of Svealand and rather keep it that way so far 🤣
13:43 whatcha reading? Also are there any books out there documenting the mushroom boom in the 90s? Talking about Randy, the First Nation people and the rest of the “zoo” in that period?
Hey guys , thanks for sharing another great mushroom adventure. Do you get more excited picking Matsu than morels? I find there is nothing like finding a patch of buttons. I was wondering if you always have the bear spray holster on there and if you are using the gps or a backtrack or something , perhaps even a compass just in case or do you know that patch well enough to not get turned around ?When I get into the serious picking I use a garden weeder with the v-shaped notch on the tip to pop the buttons out and a little rope in the hole in the handle for around my wrist ..they are so easy to lose. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Hard to say regarding getting excited. Definitely more excited per mushroom with pines, but a good morel patch can be pretty exciting when you see all the mushrooms at once. Yes we always have bear spray, compass, handheld gps and sometimes a drone (with cellphone/google earth.) do you mean one of those dandelion root tools? Those work great.
probably that is what it is...i still have not had the pleas ure of getting into a huge patch of Morels, have hit little areas with lots but never a good size patch..Maybe next year because the west is burning up pretty major. who knows maybe i will hook up the trailer and head up Nass way this fall if they hit early . Usually i get better prices here if they come and it doesn't leave a big window for elsewhere . I have a big pile of firewood to keep me busy in the meantime ..you must be in prep or in transit and nearing setup for this year . good luck .
@@Forests444 Would take you up on that any day ;) Spent my first 50 in N Central IN, on the farm, picking yearly... There would be some bonus years but normally we would find enough for a feed each/most times we went out... Been in N CO the last 7, and,,,,, its desert here, tracking burn areas,,, bla bla... In IN I just walked out to the woods or drove to the next farm a half mile away, right... I cant physically do the 5,6,7,8k elevation hikes out here after three knee and three back surgery's... So, I order them and get one tase a year!!!
One of a kind distinct flavour that’s difficult to describe, great texture. My personal favourite way to cook them is to cut them in 1/4” slices and marinate them overnight in sesame oil, minced garlic and a little soy sauce then pan fry them the next day. Great on their own, in stir fry or rice dishes.
5’s are edible, the stem can be a bit tougher but they’re still great. They are however actively releasing spore at that stage so if they sit too long in shipping they can spore out a bit, and the spores are brown. Also the veil is gone so debris can get into the gills
@@northernwildharvest Thank you for the response, Phil, I appreciate it. For pickers like yourselves, is it a scenario that you end up with more than enough 4's for personal consumption to not bother with the 5's?
@@SugarDad1 yeah usually. A lot of pickers only harvest the 1’s and 2’s because of the price. We keep some 5’s for drying but 3’s and 4’s are ideal for that. We’ve had success with spread the 5’s around and expanding the patch to new zones
@@northernwildharvest Thank you for the response. How cool would it be for you to see another price boon on these? With all of your accrued knowledge/expertise, you would have a blast!
Beautiful scenery and mushrooms! Thanks guys!!
I love the sound they make coming out of the moss!! 🍄 another great video

The audio is 👍. I am waiting for the inevitable crunch under a boot 😅
Quite the spot!
I forgot to ask you. "Do you gentlemen ever rest?"
That's the divine addiction to happiness in the woods. Lasts forever and ever. 😊
I can almost smell them! One of my fav's to eat and cook with!

I just want to transport myself to this place but I'm scared of bears.
i have never encountered one in the wild.

Ah yes the bears are a constant concern for us. Have had many bear encounters over the years.
I need the recipe at 7:56 😁 looks delicious 😋 . Another awesome you guys ❤❤
How is your work schedule? Guessing seasonal? Was wondering how many days a year u spend in the field foraging. Keep up the good work man.

Awesome. If you end up in the Nass this fall then send us a message. Can share some stories around the fire if there’s a chance for it.
It’s already time for matutake in bc? Im from Quebec and thought it was a fall mushroom!
Btw can i come work for you guyssss haha
Well, I broke down and ordered some fresh 2023 morels, they were excellent... and expensive ;)
I would have given them to you for free if we lived closer by. Medford Oregon Morels are so tasty. Happy mushroom life😎

Just Alex sent me here... after watching his video with u
Lord of the Rings in the woods… there’s nothing better!
What do they taste like? And what is the best recipe or favorite cooking method?

Are "5s" inedible?
