We have morels in Pennsylvania and my brother-in-law says when you rinse the mushrooms to use a bowl and keep the water that you rinse them in because that water has spores in it and he takes that water and pours it onto the ground outside and it grows more mushrooms there every year.
Mary I just loved this video. I am 70 years old and have been mushroom hunting since I was a little girl. I am no longer able to walk much for any distance so thank you for letting us hunt with you. So exciting when you found some beauties and oh that sandwich looks so good. I sure remember their smell and taste that I'll never forget!!!! From an Ohio fan🌺
This was a fascinating video. We do not have this in our area. Thanks Mary, for taking us along. The sites and the sounds are just beautiful. I could listen to the lovely creek all day.
I was born & raised in northeastern iowa and we went mushroom hunting every spring!! My mom would soak them I salt water for an hour too. Then she would dip them in an egg bath, then cover with flour & fry them up. We ate them as an appetizer or as a side vegetable with our meal. We considered them a precious delicacy! They were hard to find and as you said only a couple weeks in the year. Dad always said wet springs made them more prevalent! What a treat! My mouth watered watching you fry them!!!
I really enjoyed your outdoor hunt. Especially your faithful companion….(“I don’t understand what my human is doing, but I’m with her to the end.”). The cooked mushrooms look delicious, The countryside is beautiful-you must have had so much fun there as a kid.
It was so cute watching your cat following you around. I've always thought they were such independent creatures. You're lucky to have a little buddy to go out in the woods with!
My grandma used to come to our house and go mushroom hunting in the woods behind our house. SO cute how Twinkle followed you, keeping you company. Such sweet kitties!
Neither have I but I’m sure willing to give it a try. I can just imagine that walking through her creek area of the wonderful aromas wafting up to greet her, and I know if I were there I’d be saying this smells like grandma’s house, where I spent many hours playing in the creek near by. The memory of that aroma is still with me 70 years later. I’d love a place just like her’s but without snow! 🤗
In PA we didnt eat them like that, we just cut up and fried in butter with no flour and had them as a side to meat etc. Here in MN we are late on mushrooms this year. Your property is beautiful and your cat follows you around like a puppy! LOL Thanks
Hi Mary, I sure miss mushroom hunting in Central Illinois. Thanks for taking us with you. One hint you may want to do next hunt. Put your treasures in a mesh bag, like an onion bag. That way spores can spill out in their natural area instead of being lost in the bag. We always used cracker crumbs, and yes soak in salt water because here those squigglies are down in the pores.
My grandma used to take me and my sister morel mushroom hunting when we were little ... it was such a thrill to find them! I haven't had them in ages but do remember how good they tasted! Your kitties are adorable!!
Morels! The word makes my mouth water and tummy growl with anticipation! My mom would dip them into a batter and fry until crispy-crunchy! Oh, yum! Thanks for posting - - - brings back wonderful memories at my mom’s table!
My grandfather would use oz old crocheted market bag for model hunting...he said as you carried your models the spores would release through the holes and fall to the ground for the next years harvest...💗💐💗 love it! Mmm mmm good!😍
I had nothing to do yesterday, so drove down to Berlin to enjoy the beautiful weather! Went to the antique mall , Sheiyah Market and out to Troyer market. And if course I got behind a log truck ,manure spreader and buggy, always makes me smile at the slower things we have in our small communities here. I will be back soon, so I hope to bump into you somewhere!
We do ours the same way, Mary, but have never seen someone make a mushroom sandwich before. Husband has looked the last 3 days In NE Iowa without any luck. Hopefully after a 90 degree day we’ve had some pop. Thanks for your sweet video.
Oh the memories. I lived in Western PA and we picked mushrooms under an old apple tree on our road. I remember the sandwich, with just buttered bread and fried mushrooms. Oh how I wish I had one today. Where I live now, there are no mushrooms. I am 80 and that taste still stays with me today. Enjoy yours while you still have them. Thanks for sharing.
Here in the southeastern USA we call those mushrooms "Dryland Fish". My Mother fried them as you do in an iron skillet and she'd serve them to us with biscuits & gravy (both baked & made in iron skillets) for breakfast...talk about a hearty meal which made our Dryland Fish hunting the day before more than worth it. We lived on our 22 acres, mostly mountains, with freshwater springs & the Dryland Fish would spring up in little groves near the watery areas. Back then we carried paper grocery bags when hunting. ...Very nice video. Thank you for your time & work & sharing with everyone. ...This brings back memories of my beloved family all now in Eternity. Our simple lives without indoor water/plumbing, electrical appliances, and our blessed huge gardens & animals & nearby family made our lives complete. Your channel is one of the few featuring folks who lived lives very similar to ours.
I've never heard of those kind of mushrooms. I don't have the experience to go looking through the woods finding mushrooms to eat, I would probably poison myself lol! Your woods is so pretty what a beautiful place to hike around in. Loved your sweet kitty walking along with you. Thank you for sharing this fun video with us! Jill
Thanks Mary for taking us along. I really enjoyed your spring tour this morning. Your property is beautiful! We live close to your area and yes the spring weather we have been having hasn't been ideal. Would be interested in knowing where Mari's flower patch is. Thank you Mary for all you do and having such a sweet spirit...Mrs . Steve
I've eaten mushrooms for many years, but I've never had a mushroom sandwich. It looked good. Your property is beautiful. While watching Twinkle follow you, I had this silly thought, "If Mary fell and hurt herself, would Twinkle fetch help like a dog might?" Silly thought, I know, but the cat just seems so devoted to you. I'm sure it would want to help you if it could. God bless.
Shrooming is what we call it here in Michigan. We look for the blacks, browns and blondes like what you have. We grill ours for our grilled burgers. We rinse ours in salt water and pour outside so the spores can germinate. We also place them in a netted potato/onion bag so the spores can drop onto the woods floor surface for germination.
Hunting for mushrooms is a big deal here in Iowa as well. I’ve never been! Thank you for taking me for a walk with you on your beautiful property. I enjoy seeing what God has created for us. I’m agree that this is a fascinating video!
Mary, so enjoy your programme .... have the greatest admiration for you ... would love to have done something like you when I was younger, but never had or took the chance. Had to comment when you mentioned Irish butter when frying your wild mushrooms. I am Irish & a dairy farmer ... please NEVER accept criticism from any viewers - just tell them to switch off. Best wishes Thanks again, Eileen
Loved the video, Mary. I am from Romania and I used to go mushroom hunting as a little girl. Watching your video, brought back very fond memories! ♥️♥️♥️
Never picked an edible mushroom of any kind. I never thought of frying them like you did. Thank you for sharing a beautiful walk in the woods and the mushroom hunting.
You got my kids eating mushrooms. After watching your video, we went to Walmart, purchased a pack of mushrooms, dumped some flour on them and fried them up. My kids wouldn't stop eating them!! thank you so much
Thanks for sharing your mushroom discoveries. Your cat is a good companion for hunting! When I was a kid, in the '60s, we had a dog who could sniff out the morels for us. My dad loved them- so it sparked a great memory for me.
We go in Fall in the mushrooms. We look for Maronen, Steinepilz and Browncaps. We wash it and we sliced in quader. In the pan we put ghee and let the mushrooms "bruzeln" Salt, Pepper and 1 Tablespoon Majoran. Than we put whippedcrem to the mushrooms let it cook and we eat Salt-Potatoes to it. (sorry my english is not very good) greatings from Germany /Loxstedt
Hello Mary, I love mushrooms and I used to go mushroom hunting as a child. Just one suggestion from me . I was told that you should not remove the whole mushroom stem from the ground, better to cut them with the knife at the bottom and leave the roots inside the soil, this way they can multiple and grow back again in a different spot... Maybe this is why some years you don't find too many, as you have removed too much from the ground? As for cooking - they would also be lovely cut into smaller pieces , fried on a pan and then mixed and added to scrambled eggs ! Absolutely delicious. I loved your video and the sandwich was so yummy to look at , it made me hungry ! :)) And your kitty following you everywhere you go, just so cute ...
I am an Ohio native and morel hunting and hunting for Ramps (wild leeks) is a tradition. We would just fry them in butter with a little salt and pepper and eat them right out of the pan!
Each spring (I live in Ohio also, not far from you, Louisville) as a child we would go with my Dad , Grandpa and my brother hunting for morels. Best memories ever, as my Grandpa would use his cane and point them out to us , he couldn't bend down so we were his helpers. But all I came home with was a good case of poison ivy !!! But wouldn't trade those days for anything.
Have to comment! Love this video Mary! Too old to hunt for them, but remember hunting with my family & don’t think anyone does these days. Your adorable cat 🐈 is so cute following along🥰🐾🙏🙏🙏
The morels here in our area of Manitoba have black caps but look exactly like your yellower ones. I remember them being hard to clean the dirt out of the gills but wow was all the work worth it. Here we boiled them, then fried and covered with a dill, onion cream sauce! Nope, no calories at all! Thanks so much for the beautiful walk and loved how Twinkle shadowed you! 🇨🇦
Thank you for making this cozy video Mary, I really enjoyed it. This is the first I see online after waking up today, thank you for this wonderful gift.
I grew up in Iowa and my dad would take us 6 kids out every spring to the woods for mushroom hunting, we would end up with a grocery bag full of them some springs! Mom would soak them over night in the salt water and that night for dinner we would all feast on the mushrooms...mmm, I can almost smell them as you were cooking yours! : )
Our mushroom patch was under a large tree in the upper calf pasture. We would pick the mushrooms. Mom would trim off the end of the stems then we would take the cut offs and toss them back into the patch to propagate more mushrooms.
This is a real fun video, especially since its a big deal here in MO also. Your sandwich looked very yummy. I really enjoy reading some of the comments also.
I’m going mushroom hunting tomorrow! With the recent rain I’m sure they have popped. Can’t wait! In the off season I slice up button mushrooms toss them in flour and fry them in butter. So good but not as good as the morels.
What a wonderful, delicious find on your property! It will be morel season soon in Michigan. Love your 'guard cat". Reminds me of how my cats would follow me around my property. Happy hunting!
Northern lower michigan love our morells too. Been so dry not yet but maybe rain tomorrow will bring them. Love the black and white best. Yum! We pinch ours off near the ground as to leave the root.
Oh they look so yummy. I used to live in Indiana close to Indianapolis and we would go mushroom hunting all the time I now live in Virginia and you can’t find them here.
Thank you so much for sharing your hunt for morels with us! I used to search and find them when I lived in central Missouri, but I don’t find morels in Houston! You always share the greatest things with us! Good to see Twinkle!
From someone who knows nothing about morel mushrooms, I just wanted to tell you that your video was peaceful and serene. Sometimes it has nothing to do with the content, but everything about the content, if you know what I mean. ❤️
We hunt mushrooms here. The way we fry then is dipping in flour then beaten egg, then crushed crackers. Fry in oil snd eat. The mushroom sandwich is new to me. Will have to try that next season.
I too get extremely excited when I find a morel...try hard to find at least ONE every spring. Another thing I spend a whole lot of time hunting (searching) for are whitetail deer antler sheds. I walk up and down my hills for hours!!! Found 4 so far this year...now I will hunt for those morels. Enjoy the hunt almost as much as the "find"! Thank you for sharing and hopefully you get out there to find more. I'm off on my search before I get back to gardening. Went from 40 degrees here in Western Wisconsin to 80....gotta love it. Have a great day.
Yaaaa Im a mushroom hunter,!! We're prob 1-2 weeks later than you here in Mn,(lilacs are not blooming yet). Fact I didn't know untill recent, Morel is the Minnesota state mushroom.
Haven’t had them in years. They are definitely one of the most delicious woodsy finds. In Central WV (where I grew up) they sometimes use the term “Molly Moochers” 🍄 🤤
So interesting! I live in Eastern Canada and locals here also forage in the spring for a delicacy called "fiddleheads". It is the sprout of a type of fern that grows along the river banks and wet areas here; resembling the curled tip of a violin/fiddle. They are delicious!
Hi Mary, we hunt morels in Indiana as well. We always gather them in netting such as an old potato sack or onion sack to allow spores from the mushrooms to fall through to the ground as you carry them throughout the woods. This will help with new growth for next year!
I love mushrooms but my spouse doesn't so I don't get them often, just canned ones that I toss into stews sometimes, and he picks his out and they end up on my plate. These look delicious, how nice to pick them fresh. 😋
Yum! Those looked amazing! It must be so fun walking around your property Mary, so much to gather and bring indoors! TWINKLE sure loves following you around, so cute!
This video brings back fond memories of mushroom hunting with my dad when I was a little girl . He would cook them the same way that you did with flour and butter, what a treat !
We have morels in Pennsylvania and my brother-in-law says when you rinse the mushrooms to use a bowl and keep the water that you rinse them in because that water has spores in it and he takes that water and pours it onto the ground outside and it grows more mushrooms there every year.
What a clever idea!
They look delicious. Mary your home and outside looks so peaceful. Thanks for sharing.
My brother and would hunt here in northwestern Ohio when he was still alive and well.
I'm afraid since I don't know enough to tell the difference between good and bad ones. Got sick once because of a mistake pick.
We do that in our part of PA as well. Fun to “hunt” them. Thanks for the spore water tip!
Your kitty following you was so adorable. Both of you living the best life 😌
Mary I just loved this video. I am 70 years old and have been mushroom hunting since I was a little girl. I am no longer able to walk much for any distance so thank you for letting us hunt with you.

Beautiful property fantastic lifestyle and a delicious mushroom sandwich with lovely Irish butter 😋😋🥰🥰
It was so cute watching your cat following you around. I've always thought they were such independent creatures. You're lucky to have a little buddy to go out in the woods with!
I pan fry mine in corse ground cormeal...oh my heavens! The crunch!!! I never tried to eat in a sandwich!
How pretty you look , Mary. Love that adventurous Twinkles . So cute.
There a big thing in the thumb of Michigan where I live. People never give away their best spots! Btw..I just love them fried in butter. Yum!
No morels in northern Michigan. We haven't had any rain but it's coming tomorrow. Hopefully they'll pop up after a good soak.
My grandma used to come to our house and go mushroom hunting in the woods behind our house.
SO cute how Twinkle followed you, keeping you company. Such sweet kitties!
So interesting Mary. Glad you enjoyed a nice fried mushroom sandwich. You are so respectful of nature. That’s why all your followers love you so much.
Mary, your pond is so beautiful. Don’t think I have ever seen the building near the pond before. So peaceful…thanks for taking us mushroom hunting!
Never have I had mushrooms in a sandwich. You always teach us new things.
Portabello mushroom caps in a sandwich in place of meat is delicious. They have a very meaty quality to them.
Neither have I but I’m sure willing to give it a try. I can just imagine that walking through her creek area of the wonderful aromas wafting up to greet her, and I know if I were there I’d be saying this smells like grandma’s house, where I spent many hours playing in the creek near by.
The memory of that aroma is still with me 70 years later. I’d love a place just like her’s but without snow! 🤗
Having Mushrooms in a Hamburger is a normal thing...and it is kind of a sandwich! So it makes sense! Lol!
In PA we didnt eat them like that, we just cut up and fried in butter with no flour and had them as a side to meat etc. Here in MN we are late on mushrooms this year. Your property is beautiful and your cat follows you around like a puppy! LOL Thanks

My children live in WV near Parkersburg and they have been successful gathering morel’s. Thanks for sharing, Mary!
My grandma used to take me and my sister morel mushroom hunting when we were little ... it was such a thrill to find them! I haven't had them in ages but do remember how good they tasted! Your kitties are adorable!!
We have just a few in our backyard, so good
MY mouth was watering watching this, as our morels haven't popped yet, maybe tomorrow....I hope
Morels! The word makes my mouth water and tummy growl with anticipation! My mom would dip them into a batter and fry until crispy-crunchy! Oh, yum! Thanks for posting - - - brings back wonderful memories at my mom’s table!
What a beautiful landscape!
Love the feline pond patrol!
Awww- and brave kitty crosses the creek!!!!
My grandfather would use oz old crocheted market bag for model hunting...he said as you carried your models the spores would release through the holes and fall to the ground for the next years harvest...💗💐💗 love it! Mmm mmm good!😍
I had nothing to do yesterday, so drove down to Berlin to enjoy the beautiful weather!
Went to the antique mall , Sheiyah Market and out to Troyer market. And if course I got behind a log truck ,manure spreader and buggy,
always makes me smile at the slower things we have in our small communities here.
I will be back soon, so I hope to bump into you somewhere!
That was lovely Mary TFS 🇬🇧
In Missouri we dip our morels in an egg wash before rolling in flour and frying. Never had them on a sandwich, Sure looks yummy!
We do ours the same way, Mary, but have never seen someone make a mushroom sandwich before. Husband has looked the last 3 days In NE Iowa without any luck. Hopefully after a 90 degree day we’ve had some pop. Thanks for your sweet video.
I LOVE how your little cat follows you, so sweet🐈💗
Violets😢🤗🤗🤗 I miss my old house.. we had many flowers to see.. None here unfortunately.
I needed this video. I’m in the hospital and you always bring me joy!!
Praying you are ok!! ♥️🙏🏼
Sending speedy recovery vibes to you. Take care 🙂
Be well. 😊
Hope you get well soon! 😘💜🤗
Best wishes for a rapid recovery, Elizabeth! 💐
Love this and how your Kitty follows you like a dog would.. looks yummy such a beautiful area you toured us through!!! Thanks!!

This is exactly how I fix them.... My mother and Grandma taught me how to fix them......
This was so interesting. Never thought about a mushroom sandwich. Thanks for sharing. Love your posts.
Fabulous little vlog, you have some beautiful woodlands around.
You didn't do too bad. My niece hunts mushrooms. ..faithfully! She lives in tell city,... indiana. Right down on the Ohio river.
I've never heard of those kind of mushrooms. I don't have the experience to go looking through the woods finding mushrooms to eat, I would probably poison myself lol! Your woods is so pretty what a beautiful place to hike around in. Loved your sweet kitty walking along with you.

Shrooming is what we call it here in Michigan. We look for the blacks, browns and blondes like what you have. We grill ours for our grilled burgers.

Hi Mary, thank you for sharing.
My dad was a mushroom hunter. We had 6 kids and we all had to have the exact same amount of mushrooms. I plan on going out ‘hunting’ tomorrow. Yum!
Thanks for sharing your mushroom discoveries. Your cat is a good companion for hunting! When I was a kid, in the '60s, we had a dog who could sniff out the morels for us. My dad loved them- so it sparked a great memory for me.
We have them in Arkansas as well. A big exciting hobby for many.
We live in Michigan and also hunt morels! We batter with Drake’s and fry in butter. So much fun and very yummy!🍄 🍄
I've heard so many wonderful things about magic mushrooms but I can't easily get some, Is there any realiable source I can purchase from??
I'm so interested in the experience but am terrified of having a bad trip
( doctor_ Spores)
Got psych's*
This whole thing is pretty new to me, can I try 3grams?
@Angela carter Yeah, he's got magic mushrooms, LSD, dmt etc
@@joachimlunares4871 alright, I'll reach out to him immediately to get some
What an interesting video Mary. I love mushrooms. You sandwich looked delicious. Thanks for taking me along. ♥️
Here in the hills of Kentucky we call them Dryland Fish.... I love finding them and fixing them to eat they r so delicious......

I only live 30 minutes from you. Now I need to go mushroom hunting!!
We final;y have some good weather here in Ohio. The mushroom sandwich looks yummy! I would pick wild berries with my Aunt.
Have to comment! Love this video Mary! Too old to hunt for them, but remember hunting with my family & don’t think anyone does these days. Your adorable cat 🐈 is so cute following along🥰🐾🙏🙏🙏

Mom would soak them in salt water. Then she would put them in flour & fry in butter. Delicious. Lorraine
What a very interesting video! Didn't know about this! I love all mushrooms
I grew up in Iowa and my dad would take us 6 kids out every spring to the woods for mushroom hunting, we would end up with a grocery bag full of them some springs! Mom would soak them over night in the salt water and that night for dinner we would all feast on the mushrooms...mmm, I can almost smell them as you were cooking yours! : )

Your precious companion faithfully following 😻❤️😽
This is a real fun video, especially since its a big deal here in MO also. Your sandwich looked very yummy. I really enjoy reading some of the comments also.
I’m going mushroom hunting tomorrow! With the recent rain I’m sure they have popped. Can’t wait! In the off season I slice up button mushrooms toss them in flour and fry them in butter. So good but not as good as the morels.
A friend does that - she lives in Kansas City, Missouri - so cool!
What a wonderful, delicious find on your property! It will be morel season soon in Michigan. Love your 'guard cat". Reminds me of how my cats would follow me around my property. Happy hunting!
Northern lower michigan love our morells too. Been so dry not yet but maybe rain tomorrow will bring them. Love the black and white best. Yum! We pinch ours off near the ground as to leave the root.
Very interesting video. What a great way to spend part of your day enjoying nature😊 love how Twinkle came along for the hunt…lol
Oh they look so yummy. I used to live in Indiana close to Indianapolis and we would go mushroom hunting all the time I now live in Virginia and you can’t find them here.
I love the fact that you can go foraging for morels in a skirt. Awesome!
Thank you so much for sharing your hunt for morels with us! I used to search and find them when I lived in central Missouri, but I don’t find morels in Houston! You always share the greatest things with us! Good to see Twinkle!
Hello Mary, my Nan use to lightly boil mushrooms in a little milk.
👆👆look up that handle, he ships swiftly, and he got mushrooms🍄, Dmt, lsd, mmda, psilocybin, chocolate bars, he's got a lot.. 🍄 💊🍄🍫💯🔌.....
From someone who knows nothing about morel mushrooms, I just wanted to tell you that your video was peaceful and serene. Sometimes it has nothing to do with the content, but everything about the content, if you know what I mean. ❤️
We hunt mushrooms here. The way we fry then is dipping in flour then beaten egg, then crushed crackers. Fry in oil snd eat.
The mushroom sandwich is new to me. Will have to try that next season.
I too get extremely excited when I find a morel...try hard to find at least ONE every spring. Another thing I spend a whole lot of time hunting (searching) for are whitetail deer antler sheds. I walk up and down my hills for hours!!! Found 4 so far this year...now I will hunt for those morels. Enjoy the hunt almost as much as the "find"! Thank you for sharing and hopefully you get out there to find more. I'm off on my search before I get back to gardening. Went from 40 degrees here in Western Wisconsin to 80....gotta love it. Have a great day.
Yaaaa Im a mushroom hunter,!! We're prob 1-2 weeks later than you here in Mn,(lilacs are not blooming yet). Fact I didn't know untill recent, Morel is the Minnesota state mushroom.
Haven’t had them in years. They are definitely one of the most delicious woodsy finds. In Central WV (where I grew up) they sometimes use the term “Molly Moochers” 🍄 🤤
So interesting! I live in Eastern Canada and locals here also forage in the spring for a delicacy called "fiddleheads". It is the sprout of a type of fern that grows along the river banks and wet areas here; resembling the curled tip of a violin/fiddle. They are delicious!
Love when you have the sound on and do outside things. Love to hear the birds and your beautiful yard❤❤

What a nice video. I have seen these mushrooms before. I love mushrooms too.
Thank you Mary for taking us with you! Hunting mushrooms is something I have always wanted to do.💗
Yea they do not
Just loved your little kitty tagging along with you on your hunt.
Hi Mary, we hunt morels in Indiana as well. We always gather them in netting such as an old potato sack or onion sack to allow spores from the mushrooms to fall through to the ground as you carry them throughout the woods. This will help with new growth for next year!
I love mushrooms but my spouse doesn't so I don't get them often, just canned ones that I toss into stews sometimes, and he picks his out and they end up on my plate. These look delicious, how nice to pick them fresh. 😋
Yum! Those looked amazing! It must be so fun walking around your property Mary, so much to gather and bring indoors! TWINKLE sure loves following you around, so cute!

This video brings back fond memories of mushroom hunting with my dad when I was a little girl . He would cook them the same way that you did with flour and butter, what a treat !
