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 !!!
"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
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.
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!
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
@@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
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.
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!
@@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.
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.
@@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!
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!
@@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.
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!
@@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!
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
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!
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!!!
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
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!
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 !
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.
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
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.
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!
@@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.
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!
@@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 .
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
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
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
I live in southern Wisconsin and you will find them during late April all the way through till endish of may, watch for slopes! They absolutely love to grow on slopes. I have always thought southern facing slopes were the only way they will only pop up, but I have found them on west slopes and south slopes, but the Morels don't always need slopes and hillsides. The temperature of soil, time of season in spring, slopes and hillsides, and the trees (Elm, Poplar, Oak, Black cherry, and Pine) are the most important factors. I hope this gave you a good bit of knowledge. I have a video i took when my brother walked behind my parents house on may 20th 2018, and found a small motherload that i was jumping for joy and mad at the same time because he doesn't even hunt like I do, yet he finds the biggest yeild. I can upload the video and give you the channel name if you really are interested, sorry for the long talk, happy hunting!
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
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.
My understanding of morals is when they come up, or pop. They are the size they are going to be. I may be wrong but I know I have found them when we double back to get to the airboat. I see where I had picked them before. There will be a few more I know I would of saw, so I suspect they come out kinda quickly?
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

No problem Julie! At least you have those great memories

I can upload the video and give you the channel name if you really are interested, sorry for the long talk, happy hunting!
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
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!
muscada,wi at northern grant county wi is the morel capital of wisconsin,they have a morel festival yearly
This looked so fun! I’ve never had those mushrooms before, but they look super cool and I bet they tasted great!
So good!! No doubt worth trying out!
Would love to taste one. Looks fun.
I have huge ones in my yard annually. They appear in random locations! Large too.
thank you for sharing ,big hugs from MN
Thanks for visiting 👍
As a child we went picking for eating a Morel feast ❤️ my step momma made the best fried morels
How did she make em
Thank you for this video ❤ mushrooms 😊
Thanks for watching!
Nothing about the season, time of year, did it rain! Was it humid?
We were out in May!
Should be picking those blue mushrooms too!
I grow them on my farm. Last year I made over 3 million dollars just selling Black Morels some of them where 13 inches long and four inches around.
Wow. You're sitting on a gold mine
anyone know what state this is in? Some glorious morels right there
Wisconsin
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
I've been in the woods around 8am the last few days and it's really paid off. 🙌
Thats great to hear! Thanks for watching!!
What part of the country are you in?
Shrooms
Are you saying time of day matters or that you need to be willing to look all day long to find them?
Love the walking stick!
Thanks!
Good cooking tips!
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 😂
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 what some now here love this love the stove

My understanding of morals is when they come up, or pop. They are the size they are going to be. I may be wrong but I know I have found them when we double back to get to the airboat. I see where I had picked them before. There will be a few more I know I would of saw, so I suspect they come out kinda quickly?
I thought so too but there a slow-growing critter they will triple their size in 2 weeks with right conditions
Lol they grow, they’re like magic but not actually magic
Beautiful white flowers on the tree.
Thank you! Cheers!
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!!
