I'm so jealous....I can't find shit....wasted so much time and effort...in .Michigan
@@danhughes3626 😂🎉❤
Thanks for the thrill of the hunt. My daddy took me mushroom hunting when I was knee high to a grasshopper. I'm 58 now. I don't understand why I get such a high off of hunting and finding mushrooms.
I can't hike no more , so thanks for the high of the hunt !!!
No problem Julie! At least you have those great memories
Same here !!!! I love how excited everyone (and myself) get when we find some !!
If you're getting high off hunting mushrooms... maybe you're picking the wrong shrooms 😆
"I see one, then they all appear" lol that is so true with mushroom hunting. I've stood in a spot and scanned like crazy, and never see a single shroom. Then you manage to spot one, and your eyes just suddenly train themselves to see them. Suddenly, morels everywhere
No doubt! I wouldn't have done so well if it wasn't for our experienced guide
Loved Morel hunting with my dad and we used to find them by the old grocery store paper bags. We cleaned them the same way but we dipped them in eggs and flowered them, and fried them in some oil. Very tasty.
Sounds delicious!!
I CANNOT wait for mushroom hunting!! I think we're getting a late start this year here in Michigan but so far the moisture levels have been good 👌 not too much or too little. It's just been a little cold yet. It's already almost May! I'm still learning though. But you guys aren't kidding, it's literally like finding gold!
Yeah can't wait until it heats up
It's been a crazy season, here in Ohio. Started to pop in the early part of the season, and then weather has been up and down. It's made the season slow down real quick like. Best of luck to you in your morel season
I went today and found a bunch in BC. It was fun.
@@joeyisaacs2087 what sort of trees and plants do you look for specifically in Ohio when mushroom hunting? I’m a newbie and would appreciate any insight
It's the 4th.
Lol what a magical video... I've hunted mushrooms for over 30 years and I promise you they are NEVER this easy to find lol that's hilarious
We had a really good guide
If ya know where to look they are 😉
Thanks so much for the tips❣️ I especially appreciated the tip about the lilacs being in full bloom. I've been apart of the Mycology society and the morels are the one mushroom that they seem not to show us spots. I went out a few times looking this year. But unfortunately it's been pretty dry in Colorado this year. You are very fortunate to have someone take you to their spot, this isn't something mushroom pickers do very often.
Thanks for watching! The lilacs are a good tip!
Oh yeah, people are REAL stingy about their mushroom spots! Lol (I don't blame them!)
I take the soak water out to an area that will likely produce. The spores in the water. It might take a year or 2 but I have had results.
Wow thats amazing!
My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing to do….hunt morels!!!! Can’t wait until this season!!! 🍄
Same! We can't wait to get out there
I grew up eating these in WV...they are incredible !!!! After you cut them and clean them dip in egg and flour then fry to golden brown...you WILL NOT be disappointed....good luck everyone hunting them!
WE WILL be trying that! Sounds delicious!
That does sound really good but I never cut mine. I always pluck them
We saute them with ramps in Amish butter and a pinch of salt, mmmmm
Sounds good...will try that🐷 also you can fry ramps with potatoes...give it a try
@@virginiawilliams8648 I just picked 2 bags full of ramps yesterday and sautéed some with shrimp in Amish butter and the rest will be cream of ramp and potato soup today. Last years soup was incredible. I try to sustain the ramp field by cutting mid bulb to allow for regrowth next year. I also dig clumps to transplant in my property, I now have about 70 clumps from the past 4-5 years of doing this and they are starting to spread now.
Larry has a bad case of " Mushroom Fever " !!! It makes me so happy to watch him. Hey what about the garlic when cooking them???
It's honestly addicting!
Exciting childhood memories!!! Morels & Steak Cooked in real butter! Yummy 😋! May in Wisconsin Minnesota country!!! 😋😋😋😋😋 JOY! BLESSINGS from GOD!
So good!
Fellow Wisconsinite here! Gonna try morel hunting for the first time in the next week or so. Wish me luck!
Good luck!
Best morel harvest I have ever seen. I am hungry for morels and steak. Yumm
YUMMMMM!!
Look at this one! Look at THIS ONE!! So much fun!
It was just an awesome time Matt! How do you like to cook your morels?
@@LarrySmithOutdoors Morels have eluded me so far. I learned the hunt from a few "old Italians" and know most of them by the nicknames given. Hen of the Woods was one I've been able to cross reference!
Gearing up for morel hunt 2023. The rains have been regular, the weather's becoming mild and springy.. let;s get it on! Thanks for the video!
You bet!
I just moved from CA to my permanent home in eastern KY out in the woods. Used my v.a. home loan. I can't wait until the spring and finally, after years of waiting, be able to finally get some morels.
Glad to hear. You deserve it for all you sacrificed
In an online store you can get Mushroom from
Uncle Perry is the man! Great hunting knowledge. Thanks for posting.
We love mushroom picking with Uncle Perry! and thanks for watching Mark
@Mark Tracy
I've never heard of Morel mushrooms!!!!
That is THE Wisconsin accent if I know one! haha Love it
You know it! Thanks for watching!!
Man Oh Man........ Watching this video brings back so many memories. From hunting them as a youngster with my Grandpa, to the smells coming form the kitchen as Mom and Grandma was cooking them up. And then of course the joys of eating them.......... So tasty, and delicious.
We cooked them a bit different tho. Dipped in egg, then rolled in cracker crumbs, and then fried until slightly crispy. My mouth is watering right now............ LOL
🤤🤤🤤🤤 Sounds delicious!
Thank you! That looked both fun and delicious! It gave me ‘shroomin’ fever. I enjoy picking them, almost as much as I love eating them. They’re just ain’t much better eating than frying up a mess of lightly breaded Morels. I’ve been hunting then since I was a really young child with my Mom, Dad, brothers and sisters. We used to find shopping bags full but for the last several years they have become more scarce. Lots of the land nearby is now posted or sold for development. I have the best memories hunting them, with my family and later on with my nieces and nephews. I get morel fever every year beginning in late February, as I know it’s probably only a month away from then to begin watching for signs.
After I slice and wash them, I roll mine in flour (salt & peppered to taste) and fry them up golden brown. I’m going to try a few nekkid in butter, like cooked above. 😋 Yummy!
I got the mushroom fever too! So many good memories with my family now. How do you like to cook your morels?
@@LarrySmithOutdoors I normally roll them lightly in flour seasoned with a bit of salt and black pepper, and fry them up golden. Oh my, that is making my mouth water.
After I slice & clean them up, I soak them a few hours or overnight in salted water to pull the bugs out that may be holed up in the flesh. They're sneaky.
@@monica1811 you also soaked out lots of nutrients from the mushrooms when soaking that long
I don't even like mushrooms, but this looks super fun.
It is! You should give it a try after proper research
Thanks to this video and hearing that morels can grow around dead cottonwood trees, I went to a patch of cottonwoods near my house and found three MONSTER morels! First ever for finding an edible mushroom. Thanks!
Glad the tips could be helpful!!
Going mushroom hunting for the first time this year today! Going to be using your tips! Love watching you guys hunt and seeing your excitement! Thanks guys!
I went a couple hours ago for the first time ever and my phone must of been listening because now these videos are popping up
How did it go!
@@LarrySmithOutdoors it was my very first time so naturally I got more ticks than mushrooms lol
I love morel hunting. It’s like looking for Easter eggs, but for adults haha
Never thought about it like that but it's so true lol
The excitement in this video is so contagious! I love it!
It's just exciting!
I almost had a heart attack at 6:40 never seen so many mushrooms in one spot
I also had a heart attack!
This is one of the most enjoyable videos I have ever watched. Absolutely subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Uncle Perry is a cool old teacher! Awesome video fellas.
Thanks Mike he's pretty cool! How do you like to cook your morels?
@@LarrySmithOutdoors I like to fry them up in butter, add salt & pepper like you fellas. I also love to cook em the same way and smother a steak or burger with the cooked morels. They are great with eggs too, but I cook em separate and add some fresh dill. No wine, or sherry, or fancy bernaise for me!
Thank you for the information! May God Bless You Always! 🙂
Same to you!
Morels is like gold to me
Agreed. Can't wait to go mushroom hunting again
Venison tenderloins and morel mushrooms doesn't get any better
No doubt thats yummy!

p4ooyo up
Dang you guys found a gold mine of Morel mushrooms, so great!
We did. Hope to have similar success this year
im not even a minute in and i love everything about this
We're happy we could smile on your face
I’m 67, I’ve been searching for morels in Michigan since I was a little girl. I find a couple/few every year. I’ve never found them in the same place twice. I only dream of finding the haul they found under this first elm. If only I could find several large morels like this before I die!
I'm looking forward to a mess of mushrooms and some fresh spring catfish!!!! The best meal around!!!
Sounds delicious!! can't wait to get back in there!
I cook this every year after our annual cat fishing trip! Yum! Never any leftovers.
I love your walking stick, that is so cool
Thanks Gail!
Nice haul! Genuine joy is visible from you guys. Great video.
Thanks so much!
How exciting! Great tips! Thanks for taking us along! We flour ours. I will have to try your method (chunk of butter) providing I find a “mess of mushrooms” this yr!
You are so welcome! Were hoping for the same thing!
Didn't get any yesterday here in MN but it rained all last night so hopefully I find some today after work
Same! Let us know how it goes
I love morel hunting and this was inspiring Unck Knows his stuff.
He really does! It's great to learn from passionate people like this
This is the first time I've ever heard of finding morels around dead cottonwood trees. My sister's 40 acre property is full of Apple trees and we have good luck there. But she has a ton of dead big cottonwood trees too I'm gonna start looking around those now 🤣 thank you!!!
Welcome!!
Thank you for this video ❤ mushrooms 😊
Thanks for watching!
Great show Larry! We do that every year and we call'em Leprachaun Peckers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for watching!!
@@billybatts9491 Good!
Charming
Lep peckers huh??
Wow, I've never found morels Luke this. Crazy.
Keep at it buddy. We're hoping to get out there again but it's been a tad cold
Yummy 😋😋😋 GOD'S LOVING FOODS FOR US!!
No doubt! God bless
OMG exciting and the level of happiness in 2 grown men is super ecclesiastical.... whatever that word is it fits... good men!
haha!! I'm drooling! heading out to my forest right now!!
Hopefully your hunt is successful!
I literally walked out of my house and found them growing in the striped between my house and the street in a subdivision. Wild
I'm going with somebody on Sunday to pick some morel mushrooms hopefully we can find something cuz I haven't had any luck doing it by myself for many years now... Always wanted to be able to find some just to say I've done that...
Very educational and awesome video to see
I'm anxious for mushroom hunting for the next few years. Last year we had a storm in the midwest with sustained winds of 99mph for 30-45 mins. Where I'm at the highest gust was 112mph. The southside of town had confirmed winds gusts of 140mph. We lost almost 70% of our tree canopy. Sooooo many dead trees now.
It might take a year or 2 but you'll see em!
Time to go buy real food
If it was Iowa than I live there we lost almost all are trees in our yard
don't use salt water to soak them it kills the spores - spread the water on your yard and in a year or two you will have a mushroom patch in your yard.
Good to know John!
Great show Larry.I want some morels, now!
Thanks fro watching, me too!
When you find one there should be a bunch together and there is a different type of type that are dark brown and those are nice and tastey yummy
you're excitement is contagious!
It's better than Christmas. Mushroom season is upon us! Happy hunting!
Can't wait to get out there this year!
i what some now here love this love the stove

Got to go foraging after seeing this video. Well done.
Thanks for the support!
Right on. Love how excited you get when you found some.
Some advice I was given is “ you find more morels looking in bars than you do in the woods” meaning ask around to see if any old timers are willing to give up their spots
Ahahaha!!!! Probably true
My family has been finding cooking and eating them for over a hundred years they don't look good but they melt in your mouth and they're so good all my girlfriend's growing up would love them yeah atfer all that fighting not to eat it and they love them after lol
No doubt! It's about the only thing from the outdoors that my wife will eat. She's tired of eating fish and venison 😂
I'm not sure how big the ones here in Michigan will be, but regardless I haven't been this excited to eat something in a while.
Ohhhh, that special stick!! I am going to make one of those.
Take me with you guys this spring! Sweet video.😀
Thanks for watching!!
Lol
Great video guys i really appreciate the tips
Low rain last year here in Northern IN, only found giants the size of my hand that weren't as tasty. Hoping for some mega rain and sun here soon for this season's hunt. If I don't find any, I'll just come watch this video again and eat some of my dehydrated morel reserves haha! Happy Hunting!
You gotta keep trying! Thanks for watching the video!
Morels are as good or better than prime rib. Just so hard to find where I live but after a good forest fire is the best time for me.
Umm...we respect your opinion 😂
Second time I've watched this video, I can't wait for morels! I add a little chopped garlic to mine as well, delicious!
Sounds great! Can't wait to get back out there! Thank you for watching!
As a child we went picking for eating a Morel feast ❤️ my step momma made the best fried morels
How did she make em
What do you do with the ones you can't eat in the same day? How do you store them? This was fun to watch, and I want to get into my nearby woods and see if I get lucky. Ty !
you sound like you're from Northern Pennsylvania lol I was just up there hunting for wild leeks and morel mushrooms
Where
From Wisconsin! I've never been to Pennsylvania!
OMG lol I know exactly what you are talking about but that midwestern accent is NOT normal for pa. There is definitely a population who speaks this way but its sooo uncommon every time I hear it it drives me insane. what city/area of PA were you in? I am from scranton and I know a few people who talk like this up there but I dont know where they come from or why!!!!! my moms ex's family sounded exactly like this and I asked what part of the midwest they were from just about every time I saw them lol
@@Bbelblelo I was in St Mary’s PA and my husbands great aunt lives there and has the same accent lol
You forgot the most important rule for foraging... take 1/3 of what you find. Leave one for the next forager and one for the forest. Never clear cut a patch
Great advice
not with mushrooms.
Mushrooms do not apply to that rule.
best advice ever 🤣😂
I leave ones that are g prime. Crumble them up and throw them around
Watching these guys pick mushrooms is like watching the bass pros catch monster fish. I wish I had as much luck with finding mushrooms as these guys did.
Be on the lookout for more mushroom hunting videos! We'll definitely have some more tricks and tricks for ya
They even sound like they should be on a bass boat lol
In southern West Virginia we call them Molly Moochers and the best way to eat them in my opinion is to flour and fry them !!
Sounds delicious!
Been a long time since I've been shrooming....it's such a great time outdoors and so exciting when you come across a village of whatever you're looking for. I've never had a morel though. Gonna have to try.
Yes for sure!!!
wow. uncle perry made sure you got a great experience for your first time! people go looking for years to fill a bag like that so quickly!
You got that right!
I've been finding black morels in PA this year. My first year mushroom hunting!
Nice! Keep at it 👍
The black ones come out about two weeks before the yellow ones. The yellows are out right now in PA depending where you are. Happy hunting!
@@rosescott9299 We're over in Wisconsin!
No seasoning though Uncle Perry?? Looked yummy still!! Thanks so much for this
No need
To me and my girlfriend, it's our adult Easter Egg Hunt....She loves it just as much as I do, and she loves to fish😁🙏🎯
Love it!
These are good breaded with flour and corn meal 💚
Oh yes! So good!
I’m in Missouri and it’s almost about that time big guy!
Can't wait!
Had myself a plate ful last night. Spring time tradition in Illinois.
Nice. How did you cook em?
That’s what I call good eats!!! My wife thinks it looks gross. So I eat them all. Ha Ha!! Great video Larry
I was out looking today then it started raining lol. Guess I'll go back out tomorrow 🥰
Did you find any?
June 10th is very late to start Morel hunting unless you live pretty far north!
We live in Wisconsin, where are you from?
@@LarrySmithOutdoors Ohio it's about middle of April when you start hunting for Black sponge. I have only seen that many that was in your video a few times in my life you definitely have a great spot .
What state are you in you I am from Indiana,and had one of the best years I've ever had,I found close to 200 pounds this year,and some of the biggest I ever found,found one mother's day morning the size of a half gallon milk jug,a few hrs later in a different part of the woods found one 2 inches taller than that one,and yes I have the proof,pictures and the mushrooms I dehydrated for later use,but want to get in the woods further north must not sure where to venture or how far north,any feed back wood be greatly appreciated and I can offer so.e advice on how to find plenty
We were in Wisconsin! You found a pile!
That sounds like it was the size of a small puffball.
I try to get out every year. I pick ‘em in Milwaukee county.
Nice! We'll have to venture down there
Well its spring time in Illinois and things couldn't be looking too much better for mushroom hunting this year. Looking to hit the woods hard this week. Good luck to all fellow avid hunters out there
Heck yeah Justin good luck!
im going right now.
Blacks and grays are popping In Illinois right now👍👍
All I want to know is how I can get one of those Morel walking stick!?
P.S. Great video! Got me pumped to get into the woods today!
Good luck my friend!
i love those things.yummm
Should be picking those blue mushrooms too!
Fried in butter, add salt and lemon juice near the end. .
Oh I like the lemon juice trick!
That is awesome. I’ve seen them here in Wyoming but didn’t know you could eat them. Thank you for sharing ❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you or watching!
Give you a tip.
Fry two, small cut onions, then ad a bit of red peppers paprika. Add the mushrooms, let them fry just a bit.
Cover them all with fresh water and let them boil for 10 min, next add a coup of fat milk cream.
Let to boil a bit then add some crushed garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper. When the whole looks like a creamy sauce it's done.
I promise you that you will never forget this simple but delicious dish in your life.
Thanks for sharing!
What I do is put them in a bowl and cut them open.
Then let them sit in the water a few minutes to see if any bugs come out.
Then I dip mine in egg and flour and put them on a plate with paper towels to drain and oh are they good.
No doubt, We can't get enough of some morels!
Love that cane!
We were out today in the Fort Valley in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia looking. Alas, none. Loved the walk.
I’ve picked morels all around the U.S., but the best place to find them is in the Shenandoah Mts of Virginia. #1 place anywhere. Beats Michigan, the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest.
Best of luck!
Always good to get out in the outdoors! Even on the unsuccessful days!
@@cohoanglervancouverwa6755 "Shenandoah" Mountains, as in the "Massanutten" Mountains? Enclosing the Fort Valley, the Little Fort Valley and Veach Gap? I am in the foothills, between the two forks of the Shenandoah River.
@@davidbenner2289
Front Royal. Start at the National Park entrance. Skyline Drive. Stop at the first rest area (Shenandoah Overlook). Look downhill. The terrain is steep, but That’s typical habitat for morels. Look for mature tulip poplars trees. Go there now. Mid April to early May. Good luck.
Wish I could join you but I’m 1000 miles away.
@@cohoanglervancouverwa6755 some of my boys and I were wildland firefighters for the U. S. Forest Service, in the National Forest on the West side of the South Branch of the Shenandoah River (technically it's all Page Valley). Where you mention is on the Western edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, across from the Massanutten Mountains. Cahas Mountain overlook and Devils Backbone overlook overlooks my property between the the forks of the Shenandoah River. I have one of many sons (7 sons, two daughters) and his family living quite close to that area. Thank you for the tip. I don't get around as much since I broke my back a second time. Our county is the black bear capital of Virginia, our only town is the canoe capital of Virginia. In a straight line, my property is about 2.5 miles from the Park's opening. Here, in the Shenandoah Valley, even a bad day is a good day, no matter the weather.
Love the walking stick!
Thanks!
Great video. Love hickory chickens. Don't give away the secrets, they'll clean the hills out!
🤭 🤫
Amazing to see! I've been out a few times here in the UK no luck yet! Was this video shot in late April?
Ground temperature is what matters. Along tree lines with light brush. I find mine the week or so before mothers day till a couple days after. So yeah late april
This was actually shot in early May! Thanks for watching!!
They're really good rolled in flour and fried. Little salt and pepper. Can't beat em
This year we're gonna have a feast with all these recipes 😁😁
