Sweet probably not a good sign for finding them when turkey season opens my aunt and uncle live south of Nashville I plan on going down there to hunt turkeys can't wait I was hoping to find some mushrooms also.
I am 60 years old N W Missouri. I have found yellows gray white blacks and red in the spring button tops. All side by side. Ground temp,moisture and wind seems to make a difference. I havedound them in plowed fields 100 yards from trees elms pine spruce even cotton woods. Osage orange. Clusters singles. I have found grays next to yellows where grays were beer bottle size and yellows didn't get over 3 inches talk. Along creeks where I have picked 3 to 5 pounds daily in the same spot. In my yard 8 10 inches tall in the afternoon where u cut the grass that morning. Just got to look is all
@@AKFF320 I have no idea . I live in Cedar Park and , everything has been destroyed by developers , and I'm not able to access land with any frequency . But I don't remember ever finding morels here , doesn't mean there are not any .....
I also found my earliest Morels this year on March 5th. In Charlotte, NC. My previous earliest date was March 20th.They love Ash trees and privet here. Ended the season with 206 Morels. It was a strange season where they came up early, then stopped, then had a second flush about three weeks later.
My first year hunting morel's in Oklahoma was AMAZING. It would be nothing to find over 250 in one hunt. 450 plus was our best day ever. Always in the same areas. Never 8 hours worth. over time, 3 or 4 years later, other people started hunting the land, we seldom ever go there anymore. A friend of ours has just a pinch of property and the morels grow in his front yard literally! He doesn't eat them (WHAT!!!) GIANT ones grow in a few spots, huge monsters! upwards of 9 inches. We get more than enough morels to last us and share with our son on his small patch of land (it. is. insane.) We never pick every single one we see. They are such a blessing for us to enjoy and we never have picked every single one we have seen either. The nice thing about our friends place is we don't have to worry about the wild hogs rooting or coming through. We have been blessed to avoid it but we have seen their destruction in the woods/forest. Thank you for your video!!
I went out looking yesterday in some areas that I have found them here in the eastern part of the state, but nothing yet. Hope to get out again today to check another area that has produced in the past.
WOW mushrooms March 1st??? looks like a good season... hope they start popping here in Iowa...I would still use a mesh bag...keeps them producing. Elm trees are good...good vid
I have hunted those for 40 years and never ate one. I always saved them all for my mom and dad for mother's day. They are gone now and I have had 10 years of tasting why they loved them so much. Thank you for sharing your video.
Looks like you got yourself a good honey hole. I've had some luck early this year. My early spot is full of privet, young Elms and decent ground cover.
Thank you for that video I was amazed by how much I learned from that . I am 59 and I have not seen them in our stores near. Why is that. I will start watching them. Can you show a video of the kinds are name them for me that would be in Georgia please. Robin Jones
I use plastic bags too the only problem is briars. I was hunting once and tied the bag to my belt and somewhere along my walk I pulled out the bag and found it was torn and dropping shrooms. I had to backtrack for 30 min. or more looking. I have used the mesh potato sacks and they do ok and are sturdier.
Haters... I use a turkey or ham plastic mesh bag. Use what you like. I found a big bunch one time but they grew in a sand bar... had to toss the whole batch because of sand in them.
I found the biggest morels that I’ve ever found right in the middle of a lady’s yard that I used to mow lol i wonder if they are up here in East Tennessee
Nice job! We have the same dirty stem end flinging technique while picking. Pop em off! Happy hunting. We are still waiting here in the northern states.
daaang.. thats was an early find.. in southwest MO but we have freezing temps most evenings. however the soil report is averaging 56 degrees. so I'm going out early too.. hope we get a long season due to this weather
I Really Miss Hunting For Mushrooms In the Spring up in IL. and IA. !!! But I Now Live in FL. and They Don’t Grow down here !!! At least I’ve Never Found Any Here !!!
I don't feel like mesh bags do anything I would never use one they shred your mushrooms I collect my mushrooms into large bags and then I take them into my car and put them in boxes I sell them in boxes that people can fit in the refrigerator
This happens to me with everything I forage. I see it once, and I’ll see it everywhere. I never find stuff when I’m looking for it though lol at least not until I’ve found it once before
respect your honesty about the plastic bag "i alaways got one layiing around so thats what I end up using" yea man heck yea. I just got a mesh bag but who alaways got a mesh bag with them??
nice pull. the smaller the better tasting. like any living thing we eat!!! and forget the mesh bag thing. theyre not even throwing spores off at the stage youre picking them, and the mesh bag will shred your morels if your out for hours piling them up in the bag.
What a haul !!! I really enjoy your vids man. I especially enjoyed the latest Bowfishing vid. That was a porker of a fish. Congrats on that as well. Can’t wait to watch more. Be safe.
I found my first morels of the year on March 4, here in SE Tn. Went out yesterday, March 11 and got another batch. I felt like they were about 2-3 weeks early this year.
Its too early where I am in Indiana but you can see the soil temp maps are about right up until Louisville and it just cuts off there and is lower temps above said line. This is definitely going to be the year they pop up earlier.
Seems like everybody who hunts for shrooms has their own "Lore" about them. I've got a nice patch of the greys down near the river edge that always produced well, then one year they just stopped coming up for no reason. I need to get back down there and see if they came back. Some fine eating little greys go great with wild turkey breast!
Some Great Eats rite der Youngman! We got a while befer we can git'em here in Michigan, startin to find a few Whitetail sheds though! Keep them vidja's comin!
I would love to taste these. They do not grow in my area. I have been told the only mushrooms that grow around my house are ones you cannot eat if you have kids. Catman, if you want to come hunt some turkeys on the Georgia coast hit me up.
Morals don't get bigger...there size depends on how big the droplet of water is when it hit the spore...after they are fully open they start getting bug in them and being to rot...so pick them all or they will be gone in a couple days...they grays come first...the blonds come in warmer temperatures. Blacks are right behind the grays and the reds are higher elevation...about late may...
Same for us in northwestern Missouri, although I moved to southern Kansas a few years back, and have been trying like hell to find some honey holes. No dice so far. I've got a couple new spots scouted that apparently had morels in years past, so I'm hoping to find success this year!
I live in SE Mo. and you would be suprised how early these tasty little buggers will pop up. My uncle has found red shrooms popping up through the snow before.
Here in Ohio I've found blacks March 21st the earliest ever for me please mushroom Gods be good this yr yummy and yummy thanks for video catman gets me fired up
It has been the strangest/warmest winter ever in Southern Ohio/Northern Kentucky. I don't think we had snow one time in all of February. Curious how that impacts our morel season.
@@TennesseeMtnMan Look them up online, almost every state conservation website has pictures and descriptions of edible shrooms, and non edible shrooms, times of the year when different ones come up. If they look like the ones Catman was finding They are Definitely edible.
South facing hillside with fallen trees in the timber was the honey hole in No Central Illinois but about a month later in year. Also some warm humid weather was the trigger.
Holy smokes dude!!! They're popping out all over the southeast a whole month early!! I live in Rocky Mount Virginia and I expect to see the first of the blonde morels here within the next week or two
Pretty awesome for March 1st!! That means I could be pickin n grinnin here in East central Oh in about 3 weeks! lol 😎 In regards to bag, I prefer mesh, partly for spor distribution but also to keep the shrooms from getting overly moist from humidity they create within a plastic bag. Slightly dry better than soggy.....👍 Nice shrooms!! Happy huntin ✌😎

Spring has hit really early here in Central Texas . The bluebonnets are already coming up , and the Mesquite trees are already leafing out ....
I'm in Central Texas as well. Have you seen anything popping up yet. I've only found deer sheds

Found seven small grays today. April 4th in east central KY. Earliest I have found them here. Hope this is a good sign.
Nice haul! Buried in snow here... still 2 months away in MN
Great job! You really know how to find em! Catch you a couple bass out of your pond or a creek and you’ll have a fine meal!
Out of all the delicious fish you can catch in TN you chose bass....
@@huntersims3588 Catman likes to catch and cook a ditch pickle! He did it in a video a couple years back. Search Catman Outdoors ditch pickle sandwich

Almost a month early for here in west central Missouri, but you've got my mouth watering ! Congrats
Still snow in ground, melt little yesterday,hope I can go and find this yr .
Where are you located, and do you know what the soil temperature is where you hsve found the most this season. Thanks
I have hunted those for 40 years and never ate one. I always saved them all for my mom and dad for mother's day. They are gone now and I have had 10 years of tasting why they loved them so much. Thank you for sharing your video.
I did the same for my mother. She pasted this last Thanksgiving. Will be a hard spring hunt
RIP 💐
Would like to see a video from U on tree identification in ur area and show the leafs 🍃 or leaves 🍃 🤔 that corresponds with that tree 🌳 !! :)
I like to go to the dollar store and get a laundry bag that is for delicates. they are mesh and have a zipper on them.
Bro me too!! Nice!!!
Same here and I am just finding them in west TN in one spot and none in the other
Looks like you got yourself a good honey hole. I've had some luck early this year. My early spot is full of privet, young Elms and decent ground cover.
I'm in Wisconsin have 2 months to go before mushroom season. Your video was making my mouth water. Thanks Catman
Hopefully we can get a better rainfall than last year,
Same in the U,P can't wait. yummy.

I had to backtrack for 30 min. or more looking. I have used the mesh potato sacks and they do ok and are sturdier.
Try out a steel feed pail from a feed store for your shrooms. No ripped bag. No damage to shrooms from whippersnappers.
Haters... I use a turkey or ham plastic mesh bag. Use what you like.
I found a big bunch one time but they grew in a sand bar... had to toss the whole batch because of sand in them.
I use just a stick to help me focus where my eyes are looking .helps me
I found the biggest morels that I’ve ever found right in the middle of a lady’s yard that I used to mow lol i wonder if they are up here in East Tennessee
I found 2 in Kentucky last year while turkey hunting.. Fried them at the truck.. Was wishing I had found more!
Nice job! We have the same dirty stem end flinging technique while picking. Pop em off! Happy hunting. We are still waiting here in the northern states.
Where I'm at if I find a few early and it cools back off then when they're back it's a short season it seems
Making my mouth water
None in Southeast Oklahoma yet...They're hard to find too many pine...but down 8n the old hardwoods it's still too wet....
Mesh bags really help to do less dmg and keep air flow.. also drop spores as you walk.
Blah blah blah....nothing like beating a dad cat huh Karen? Hush
We still have snow. Here Idaho on the ground.😢
Do no other animals eat them? I've never looked for them but I hear they are good to eat.
Yes deer will eat them.
Turkey
Squirrels get them quick
Southern Illinois earliest I've found any was 20th of March. But they're always small blacks that early here.
I had the same thing happened to the place I was picking mushrooms.but I have a few more places to go to get them early.
We have 18” of snow . No morels until April or may. Wisconsin
What state are you hunting in ? Im in central va
Great find for the first time this year!
daaang.. thats was an early find.. in southwest MO but we have freezing temps most evenings. however the soil report is averaging 56 degrees. so I'm going out early too.. hope we get a long season due to this weather
I've been waiting its such an early spring thanks man!
They are starting up in West Virginia now 😜🥰🥰
Wow I'm surprised they're already in. Its cold again now but I may need to get out and start looking for em. Thanks for sharing
I've found thousands around elms. That's weird,lol. Elms my 2nd best kind of tree to find em around.
I Really Miss Hunting For Mushrooms In the Spring up in IL. and IA. !!! But I Now Live in FL. and They Don’t Grow down here !!! At least I’ve Never Found Any Here !!!
Man...March 1st?? That's crazy. Time for me to hit my spots and see if I can find any myself.
I don't feel like mesh bags do anything I would never use one they shred your mushrooms I collect my mushrooms into large bags and then I take them into my car and put them in boxes I sell them in boxes that people can fit in the refrigerator
I live in bc canada pick morels in my back yard can't wait still two feet snow on ground very envious
Crazy how once you see one, your brain has the image now, and then boom... you're surrounded by them
I call it morel vision
This happens to me with everything I forage. I see it once, and I’ll see it everywhere. I never find stuff when I’m looking for it though lol at least not until I’ve found it once before
respect your honesty about the plastic bag "i alaways got one layiing around so thats what I end up using" yea man heck yea. I just got a mesh bag but who alaways got a mesh bag with them??
I found them in 1998 in Arkansas on February 24th found all the way through end of April that year
nice pull. the smaller the better tasting. like any living thing we eat!!! and forget the mesh bag thing. theyre not even throwing spores off at the stage youre picking them, and the mesh bag will shred your morels if your out for hours piling them up in the bag.
Like your videos more. Maple syruping gives you something to do this time of year. I produce about one gallon a year. Cool hobby and it's delicious
What a haul !!! I really enjoy your vids man. I especially enjoyed the latest Bowfishing vid. That was a porker of a fish. Congrats on that as well. Can’t wait to watch more. Be safe.
Yes sir we thanks ya for the heads up!
Nice man. Freshies! Hope you find a truckload.
wierd we have 6 inches of snow here in MN still as of april1st.
That was quite a haul of good eats!
Like self sustaining videos. Deer hunting means loin chops, great chili and making venison jerky is a must
I found my first morels of the year on March 4, here in SE Tn. Went out yesterday, March 11 and got another batch. I felt like they were about 2-3 weeks early this year.
Where in SE, TN?
I ain't had any luck out here. This weather has been insane
Its too early where I am in Indiana but you can see the soil temp maps are about right up until Louisville and it just cuts off there and is lower temps above said line. This is definitely going to be the year they pop up earlier.
You have the goodies.

I’m in Weakley County. What features are you looking for?
Nice haul. I'm in Michigan, we have another month before the yellows come up. What state do you live in?
The one mushroom I am hunting this year…..awesome!! 😊
Hey dude…take your scammer crap someplace else….
Thanks a lot for making me hungry. Ours will not come up until a few more weeks.
Some Great Eats rite der Youngman! We got a while befer we can git'em here in Michigan, startin to find a few Whitetail sheds though! Keep them vidja's comin!
I'm in centerville,guess I'll be heading out early this year,ran into you at grill Billy's one time in fairview for lunch,keep up the good videos
It's an early spring in my area as well.
Thats awesome buddy, I went and looked today in my spot, I didn't see any yet. But I know it'll be any day
I would love to taste these. They do not grow in my area. I have been told the only mushrooms that grow around my house are ones you cannot eat if you have kids. Catman, if you want to come hunt some turkeys on the Georgia coast hit me up.

Best eating mushrooms .. they're the gold of all wild mushrooms...hahaha
Those elm are what we look for in Iowa/Wisconsin. Chinese Elm are a go to
Same for us in northwestern Missouri, although I moved to southern Kansas a few years back, and have been trying like hell to find some honey holes. No dice so far. I've got a couple new spots scouted that apparently had morels in years past, so I'm hoping to find success this year!
Went looking to. We live in middle mo. But I don’t think it’s Ben warm enough here yet. Maybe in a week or two .
I live in SE Mo. and you would be suprised how early these tasty little buggers will pop up. My uncle has found red shrooms popping up through the snow before.
Here in Ohio I've found blacks March 21st the earliest ever for me please mushroom Gods be good this yr yummy and yummy thanks for video catman gets me fired up
Where do you find these. I mean what are they around the most
Man, I really need a day of just walking and relaxing looking for some shrooms.
Love the shrooms
Nice, but I haven't ate morels But they are yummy, delicious and nutritious
It has been the strangest/warmest winter ever in Southern Ohio/Northern Kentucky. I don't think we had snow one time in all of February. Curious how that impacts our morel season.
I think we're still a few weeks away at least. Cincinnati area here ..
Lucky!!! It's still goin cold warm cold out in pnw.
looking in dayton this weekend
Quite a long time for Mn yet !!!
Got um in the low river areas as of now
Buncha old timers flip out seeing those bags. They use the mesh bags, so the spores from the shrooms you carry spread, and seed for next year
I can't imagine finding them that early in Iowa! That is totally awesome!
You have a great mushroom spot!
Man that is a haul for March 1 or any time. You are blessed brother!
A video of a clean and cook of these would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Catman
Please show us how you fix them to eat. I’ve seen them but was too chicken to try one. Didn’t want to eat something poisonous. Lol.
He has a video of him cooking them
@@TennesseeMtnMan Look them up online, almost every state conservation website has pictures and descriptions of edible shrooms, and non edible shrooms, times of the year when different ones come up. If they look like the ones Catman was finding They are Definitely edible.
He has one a few years ago....I'm pretty sure.
Cut them in half. Soak them in salt water to get all the bugs out of them and roll them in your favorite flour mixture and fry in a skillet.
i love how you sneak up on them, i do too
I'm in SE Tennessee, wasn't sure time to hunt but Let's Go!!
Wow that is early! Might be early here in Virginia, will have to keep eyes open!
I'm in Marshall County and you. Will the frost and cold coming kill them
Mesh bags are hard on mushrooms.
Wondering why you leave so much of the stems. They’re good eating
Is there a different taste when they’re gray or yellow?
Baked venison steak in creamy morel gravy. Yum
Catman... please show us how to prepare and cook them!!!
is the giant ones tasty? i would assume woody..never seen huge ones..what about lions mane?
South facing hillside with fallen trees in the timber was the honey hole in No Central Illinois but about a month later in year. Also some warm humid weather was the trigger.
Are you going to get All of them?
Holy smokes dude!!! They're popping out all over the southeast a whole month early!! I live in Rocky Mount Virginia and I expect to see the first of the blonde morels here within the next week or two
those look way better than the golf balls I find up here in Ontario, Canada.
yes, actual golf balls. never find any morels locally.
Love that first batch!!! Awesome video!
Pretty awesome for March 1st!! That means I could be pickin n grinnin here in East central Oh in about 3 weeks! lol 😎 In regards to bag, I prefer mesh, partly for spor distribution but also to keep the shrooms from getting overly moist from humidity they create within a plastic bag.
