Wonderfully informative and very encouraging! I think your words, "The birds aren't complaining, the animals aren't complaining, the plants aren't complaining... so I'm not going to complain either..." will stick with me forever! Wise words and a lovely positive attitude to have. You're a blessing.
I love the positive attitude toward the rain. I'll have to remember that next time I get caught in the rain and just take a second to appreciate it the same way!
Not only are your videos super informative and helpful, but heartwarming too. I enjoyed to see you mindfully picking instead of clearing the area totally, leaving more to spread and be enjoyed by other humans and creatures. You rock Adam!
Hey Adam I’ve been watching your videos for over a year now and I just want to express my appreciation to you for making these videos! Last year you inspired me to go out side and look for any mushrooms I could find. I am very thankful to you for everything I have learned. Last year I sent you an email and you responded and that really meant a lot to me! I hope that you continue to teach your passion and that someday we can connect! -Haven
Awesome!! I live in northeast Ohio in ashtabula county , I'm hooked. I'm going to be out in the woods every week in 2019 . We've had a mild wet winter. N it's almost April now! In 2 weeks my woods will be alive , n the amish cut down alot of trees for furniture so everything that's left is dead elms n poplars, n massive oaks n maples n black cherry n alot more that I cant list. I'm stoked.
@@oleopathic in one of his more recent vids I heard him say that he does either organize forays, or at least participate in them. Wish I could help more. I'm sure that he has talked about it, keep looking and you will find it. I'm an old man and don't remember.
My first year hunting for morels. Thanks for inspiring me! I found lots of black morels from a burnt and a few yellow morels from a local park. Very exciting every time I spot one. Thanks again for educating us Adam.
I love how stoked you are about being out in nature, even when its dumping buckets of rain! I appreciate all your efforts to pass on all your knowledge. I am a fellow mushroom enthusiast and wild plant forager, and I love it too. :)
May 2018, walked ouside my house and lo, and behold, in the leaf litter in the flower bed were two morels! I left them to sporify, checking on them everyday. We shall see what this May holds. Thank you for your amazing energy and sharing! You broaden horizons!
I love your videos! They are fun and enjoyable, and I learn a ton from you! I truly appreciate that you seem to really care about the land and the earth, and about conservation and leaving some behind for the others, and for the species to repropagate. I have noticed that while we both live in Pennsylvania we have different names for many of plants that you come across. I know you use the scientific name (of which I am not normally familiar) but even when you use the common name, it is not normally the name that plant has in my area or the name I am familiar with. Anyhow I love your videos and hope you continue to make them! You are great!
I recommend you hit up this legit plug they're very reliable ship to any location they've got Adderall shrooms ketamine dmt,lsd,spores,microdose and other psychedelic stuffs.!!
You are wealth of knowledge. I am learning so much from your videos on wild edibles. I was happy to see that morel beside the walking path too. Never in my life saw these many morels in real. Keep it up.
Beautiful presentation and commentary. I also particularly appreciate the lack of ads - nothing obtrusive; just the love of, and curiosity about nature. Please keep offering these quality videos; they set a great standard to emulate on TH-cam.
So glad I found your channel! Your smile and excitement is infectious 😊The most magical time I’ve ever had was foraging chanterelles in Oregon. I’m in middle TN and ready to start my morel journey! Thank you! Whoot! 💚🌟🍄
Alan, I'm new to mushroom foraging having started last year. This will be my first year hunting morels in Wisconsin. I have learned so much from your videos, you are fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I'm in the Denver area as well and I have shaggy parasols that grow in my front yard in the city when conditions are right. I spent considerable time identifying this species including performing a spore print to make sure it was, in fact, edible and not poisonous. Now that I know they are safe, I eat them whenever they pop up. But, also, before cutting the mushroom, I like to tap the top a few time to encourage any spores in the cap of the mushroom to fall to the ground and re-inoculate the area that I am picking from. Thank you for sharing your wonderful foraging trip with us. What fun! :-)
Adam, truly outstanding as always! I agree the Morchella season came about two weeks late this year. Thank you for including the half free and greys, and for sharing some amazing insight on Cherry Trees. I will add them to the list of Tulip Poplars and Elms
Had a great season here in Southeast and south central WI. Best day my wife and I found 272 in a little over 2 hours. Over 855 for the season. Late start but well worth the wait. As always another great video Adam! Thanks.
Wow, thank you for the direct (scientific) approach, with what would appear to be no agenda, except to share ... very inspiring to me to learn more, You are a generous with your knowledge human, we need more of youse!
Frank Mroz I couldn’t agree more. He appears to have no agenda but to share knowledge others can use. Very valuable & considerate human being. I’m a fan!
From morel hunting to goldenseal you've opened my eyes and heart to the world how do we ever begin to repay..., other than subscribe. The woods and world will never be the same to me.
I found my first morels ever today by accident. I went for a walk in the woods and stumbled across some. I will go back soon and learn the area for hunting. Good message Adam.
Thanks Adam! Every year I search but rarely do I find anymore than a few. Just watching this was satisfying to my drive for the hunt! Having the camera eye view was kinda like being there!
I've been learning a lot from you. I'm new to the hobby and have an immense interest in it. U helped me identify a 20lb chicken of the woods over here in CT. Now im learning more species. So thank you for teaching this info
I always get so hype to watch your videos. I am relatively new to foraging and I have learned so much from your videos. My fiance gets a laugh when I reference you, "My boy Adam Harinton, said this or did this". You're the man! Stay cool, Adam!
My in laws moved about an hour south of the mackinac bridge last year. My son and I went up to help them move the first few days of June and I have to tell you, the morels were everywhere! Growing all throughout the yard. Planning on going up every memorial day from now on. Happy hunting, Adam!
Great video Adam! Those are some of the coolest looking mushrooms & they have the taste to go with it. Really wish that I could find more of them in my neck of the woods.................
Sapele Steve yeah same , I use to have a few really nice areas , but over the years my dad would tell people and soon they became pretty much mushroom free
Adam, your videos are such a treat. Thank you so much. I live in Phoenix, AZ, not much mushroom hunting out here lol. Your local woods look like heaven in this 100+ weather
You hit the jackpot! We went the past two weeks. First trip we found about a dozen gray morels (not sure the technical name) by what we call scrub oak and last weekend we found a few dozen super big blonde morels in a different spot by some cottonwood trees. Super tasty sauteed in butter like usual! Awesome video!
Lucky you to have morels nearby! They are rarissimo in woods here, but friends do have the round blonde ones in a field, and last year harvested about 180 of them to dry. * squeals with envy * I see that there is Alliaria (garlic mustard) growing with them - delicious! I know it's considered an invasive pest in NA, though that amazes me, since it's not a perennial, and it's so good. We treasure it here in France. Thanks for a most inspiring tour - it pays to be out when others are warm and dry at home!
I was lucky enough to at least FIND some for the first time...BUT they were eaten alive by critters. Being a super newbie it was fun and we had a great time. I took my grand daughter with me (only one of them as I was baby sitting and other was in school). She was so excited 😆. She’s only 4 and really didn’t know why she was excited, she was just feeding off my energy which made it so cute to see. Maybe next year I’ll be early enough to beat the critters especially since I know where to go back to! Thank you for all you share and helping me at least be brave enough to try. You’re always so encouraging and that helps a lot, especially when you’re new to it. Thanks again! Blessings always ~Lisa
I gotta say dude, if you don't have a PHD in this field, YOU SHOULD! No one covers this material as well as you do, period! Heck, I thought I knew about Chantrelle's, until I watched your video on them. Extremely educational.
Hi Adam, I've been hunting morels for 30 years and have always enjoyed eating them. However, the past two years they have made me very ill. I thought the first time was possibly from maybe getting a false morel in the batch, although I highly doubted that. Last spring my wife and I found almost 100 on our first trip out. We cleaned them and fried them in butter like I always do. Later that night I became extremely ill again. My wife had no ill effects. Have you heard of a person's body chemistry changing in time to cause something like this? The illness was so bad that I'm extremely afraid to try them again. By the way, keep up the good work. I love your videos. KP in Ohio
Your videos are so well made! Thank you for all the wonderful insights to hunting, scouting and identifying. I found my first wild morels last year in Connecticut. While scouting locations, I was lucky enough to find a forest loaded with tulip trees. Three weeks later, Morchella diminutiva were popping their little heads through the leaf litter. Even some large half-free morels too - those were the tastiest!
Dude your awesome ! Watched your vids & learned a lot about morels, how to find them & the trees associated with them. So my second time out I found them in Pgh. Pa. ! Thanks 4 the info !
@Damian Kyle what the hell would I do with an intagram pword? I suppose I could get my mushroom hunting competition canceled, or something. Actually, I was skeptical at first, but maybe that's not a bad idea. Also hey, try not being assholes. That would be better than infiltrating legitimate forums in search of people as greasy as you twoare.
Wish I could get a good book on every thing you tell us. The best mushroom collection I had was in southern Michigan. Got a grocery bag full in no time. Made vegetable soup with them .Oh wow it was good!
Read your morel article then this was in my TH-cam recommendations. One of the few times my recommendations in TH-cam got something right! Great vid and good job on your morel article also. Thanks for your time!
Incredible morel harvest. This was my first year hunting them, but I managed to find a half dozen small (grape sized) ones. I left some behind to see if they'd grow on, but when I went back two days later, they hadn't grown and were too far gone. I did find some nice small dryad's saddles and a great ramp patch though (ramps are pickling as I write). I've always loved mushrooms, but my hunting has been limited to "pinkies" and puffballs. Since I retired last summer I've had more time to hike in the woods up here north of you in Crawford County. Found lots of chickens and a few hens of the woods last year. I really want to make on of your outings sometime. Love the videos!
Good job on explaining everything very well...I've been mushrooming since I could walk and I haven't got tired of finding them yet love the outdoors an everything in it.. Good job again man good luck hunting...
I'm in northwest Pennsylvania too and this year I found morels in every old orchard I checked that had the thick ground cover just like at 15:00 in this video. Didn't find them around any other tree species though...
I’m in Vermont and try find them for 5 yr and I give up. Last yr I go for walk after work, and stumbled on it not even looking for it.Only like 5-6 I find and they almost old but not too old to eat. This yr I can’t wait to go same spot and see if they come back.Very excited for go looking . Well I just see you harvest them next to ramps and trillium flowers. I have spot where I harvest ramps ,hmm I may go there look for morels too. Ty for info.
i really like your vibe, man. thank you for such well-created content. i don't have much time, but this is the kind of stuff i would geek out over if i had infinite amounts of time. cheers.
Can't wait till I'm a pro like you! My husband and I just started our mushroom career this season and found two yellow morels, our very first morels ever. Not much, I know, but very exciting for us!!! And so delicious! Now I understand why people are passionate about hunting them. Great video. Thank you. But I noticed that you aren't telling us your exact hunting spots. And I don't blame you. 😊
There are some spectacular hidden spots in Reading, PA if you're ever out that way! Look out for Neversink Mountain! An absolutely huge spot along the Schuylkill and has cliff features carved by glaciers. Absolutely amazing hidden gem of PA!
@@LearnYourLand please do! It's worth a ride. Neversink overlooks the city of Reading. It's gorgeous and filled with magical treasures like old wine cellars built into the mountain, trolley tracks, an abandoned tuberculosis center, a river and scenic views. So great for exploring! I'd love to tag along if you ever do make it out!
Hi Adam this ed I've been a avid moral mushroom hunter scenes I've been a kid I just wanted to let you know I think u do a great job. And that I appreciate that u dont just cover one specific mushroom. Ide like to learn more about others besides morals. Keep making vids please. Thank you so much it made my wife and I time in the woods much more pleasant
Hey Adam, at 8:00 minutes into the video ..the two mushrooms you showed us ..we've always called "grays" here in northern Michigan and they usually appear about the time the black morel is winding down. Then about a week later we would find sometimes huge "whites" or "Yellows." What I am asking are they the same, or a bit different..becoz the "grays" seem to be denser in texture and tastier in my opinion. Also, we have been finding a few "white" morels in the 8 to twelve inch range ...but not in last few years. It was not uncommon for some people to camp a few days and haul out 20-40 pounds of morels...:D
Sixty years ago, we used to find lots of Morels (& wild Asparagus) in the woods surrounding our house in SW Michigan, between Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids. Brings back some good memories of the hunt.
Good morning Adam. Love you videos. Your comment about people not picking along the trail, most people don't know what they are. You wouldn't believe how many times I will be out with my kids foraging and they don't get what we are doing. They don't believe it. They don't know they are editable. My kids can tell you what's good. Not good. Different between the different fiddleheads, mushrooms and how to find leeks. Teachers at schools are blown away..
Thank you so much for all your videos.I've been hunting for morels in the woods around Lancaster City. I haven't seen any yet; it might be a bit early in the season. I plan to get out just after it rains and as it warms up. The videos are extremely helpful to get a feel for where one might find them.
Adam, thank you for taking us with you. This is the first year I've found half free morels. It takes a lot to make a pound, but they are delicious. All the ones I found were on flat land, strictly under shag bark hickory stands. There was poison ivy and poison oak all over the woods. Also harvested a good bunch of blood root too 👍🏻
Watching ahead of the 2019 season, losing my private property orchard this year to the owner whose heath is on the mend, so can't be sore about it (found decent amount there last year), but my other areas last year were horrible. Never heard of them coming up around Black Cherry, will have to keep an eye out for that. I have a few areas of Tulip Poplars, hopefully they produce better this year, and will just have to get out there and hike and search! Southwestern PA.
Have you gotten any? I went two weeks ago and found a bountiful patch! I harvested 26 fully mature morels. I live in southern california so the seasons ending for me
@@carolferguson5467 months can vary, weathers your best bet. When the soil temperature is about 50 degrees and after a good rain. Morels can pop up literally overnight after a good day of rain. Ash trees, oak trees, cherry trees, tulip trees, aspen, and elm. They seem to grow close by, or even logging sites if you know any. Hope this helps you good luck!
psamocybin cubensis I heard they grow quite while in burn areas. We had horrible wild fires last year here in Durango, Colorado. But I also heard the burn area needs to be a coup,e of years old, is that correct ? Thank you so much for communicating 😉
THIS year I finally forced myself to try Morels after 30+ years of gathering them!!! .. ... Their Michigan species' taste is so delicate, the ONLY way to eat them is the sauté, and, a pinch of salt.
Last year while searching the edge of the parking lot of Feather Falls Casino in Oroville Calif. I found about a dozen prime Yellow Morels growing at the backside of the lot under a hedge of an unknown variety to me that was planted along the fence line. This surprised the hell out of me since I had never seen Morels of any kind in this area before! A nice surprise it was too! Yummy!
I think this is the "freshest" video I have seen from you :) I am hoping that you will do a video on which and why Mushrooms should be cooked. Maybe how to store them too? I love eating them raw but I have only had store bought Mushrooms. I love your videos because they show me that I'll never go hungry if I learn all (some:P) of these identifications you've shown us. Thank you!
I'm just watching this. Getting me all amped up for the incoming morel season. I'm in SW Michigan here, very similar in environment. Just quite a bit more wet in most places. Still very similar. Makes me excited!
Your videos are very clear and well put together. Thank you for sharing your passion, and helping me with mine. Extremely knowledgable, and good on the eyes too ;) I Can't wait for pandemic-lock down to ease up a bit here in Ontario and go proper plant/fungi hunting. Found a morel the other day on a city lawn... so lucky!!! Anyways, you definitely have a new subscriber, thanks again and keep making vids!
Hay bud You and me respect the woods in same way ! Fantastic Knowalage love your angle and approch You are a true master of this subject Respect . I live in London in the UK I have been foraging for about 25 years now ..... still alive Just about LOL . My background is working for the Royal familey and in particular Working for A Royal Duke in London . That's enough name dropping .... Blown away by your knowage and expertise . Love to meet you one day. over a good glass of wine and a plate of Morels with cream and pasta LOL Take care Philip Clark x
I don't remember what year it was it posted in our news paper some one found morel mushroom 12 inches tall . Thanks Adam for info on where to look and what trees this was very help full.
Great video as always Adam , Kentucky's motel season was not kind, but always the optimist, our other spring mushrooms are doing great, the terrestrial mushrooms are just starting to show up, can't wait to start the next phase
+Awesome video! Appreciate your educated advice. I have been watching other morel picking videos & they say "not getting as many as we used to, seems less & less every year," while they pick every mushroom in sight. I call it clear picking, but they try to say carrying them in a mesh bag releases enough spoors. Apparently not if you're getting fewer each year. I leave at least 2 in a cluster of 4 or 5 & a quarter of the mushrooms on larger clusters. Glad you advise leaving some to start more. Responsible foraging is a must if you don't want to exhaust the resources.
Digging the Benji Hughes song! I've seen him perform more than once and always enjoy his tunes. Y'all should definitely check out his first album "a love extreme". I can't wait until mid March when the Morel Madness begins!!!!
In my own hunting, I've noticed you can usually find them in or around may apple. As seen in your great video. Just found your channel, and really love it. Thanks!
Wonderfully informative and very encouraging! I think your words, "The birds aren't complaining, the animals aren't complaining, the plants aren't complaining... so I'm not going to complain either..." will stick with me forever! Wise words and a lovely positive attitude to have. You're a blessing.
He is better then a Plan Leaf app cut it tell you the History

You’re an awesome young man with so much knowledge of the Land🙏🙏appreciate what you do!
Your videos are so informative. Thanks to what I've learned here, I was able to find my first morels this year.
3:12-3:27 For someone who's never heard the word "clade" before, hearing 8 clades in 15 seconds is striking
DanRoxtar lol lol.
He said clade 8 times from 7:56 - 8:07. lol

It's April 11th, 2021, and our Morel season began 2 weeks ago in Southern Indiana. Finding many beauties!
Best mushroom videos on the tube by a long shot. We had the best season in Western NC in my 5 years of hunting. Can't wait for next year
Thanks!
You can harvest your own is very ez
Thanks Adam! Every year I search but rarely do I find anymore than a few. Just watching this was satisfying to my drive for the hunt! Having the camera eye view was kinda like being there!
excellent job. keep up the great work.
It's good to hear that you leave some behind to sporulate and keep the harvest viable. I wish people would do the same with fiddleheads.

I thought the first time was possibly from maybe getting a false morel in the batch, although I highly doubted that. Last spring my wife and I found almost 100 on our first trip out. We cleaned them and fried them in butter like I always do. Later that night I became extremely ill again. My wife had no ill effects. Have you heard of a person's body chemistry changing in time to cause something like this? The illness was so bad that I'm extremely afraid to try them again. By the way, keep up the good work. I love your videos.

Thanks for the inspiring video. I already go on hikes and identify as many mushrooms as possible. It’s fun!
Your videos are so well made! Thank you for all the wonderful insights to hunting, scouting and identifying. I found my first wild morels last year in Connecticut. While scouting locations, I was lucky enough to find a forest loaded with tulip trees. Three weeks later, Morchella diminutiva were popping their little heads through the leaf litter. Even some large half-free morels too - those were the tastiest!
Dude your awesome ! Watched your vids & learned a lot about morels, how to find them & the trees associated with them. So my second time out I found them in Pgh. Pa. ! Thanks 4 the info !
I've learned to sneek up on morels, they go back into the ground if they hear you coming 😁
😂😂😂
Yes I've heard that too.
By the way I'm from kashmir pakistan
These are quite expensive $200 to 300 per 50 grams.
I didn't know they had ears! Lol
@Harry Iwasa lol at Beavis and Butthead with their spam link.... good team work but you fail.
@Damian Kyle what the hell would I do with an intagram pword? I suppose I could get my mushroom hunting competition canceled, or something. Actually, I was skeptical at first, but maybe that's not a bad idea. Also hey, try not being assholes. That would be better than infiltrating legitimate forums in search of people as greasy as you twoare.
Wish I could get a good book on every thing you tell us. The best mushroom collection I had was in southern Michigan. Got a grocery bag full in no time. Made vegetable soup with them .Oh wow it was good!
Read your morel article then this was in my TH-cam recommendations. One of the few times my recommendations in TH-cam got something right! Great vid and good job on your morel article also. Thanks for your time!
In your article you mentioned drying out morels to rehydrate and use them later, how do you do this effectively?
Looks like some food fiddlehead ferns there too. Could make a meal with all the stuff seen in this vid
Incredible morel harvest. This was my first year hunting them, but I managed to find a half dozen small (grape sized) ones. I left some behind to see if they'd grow on, but when I went back two days later, they hadn't grown and were too far gone. I did find some nice small dryad's saddles and a great ramp patch though (ramps are pickling as I write). I've always loved mushrooms, but my hunting has been limited to "pinkies" and puffballs. Since I retired last summer I've had more time to hike in the woods up here north of you in Crawford County. Found lots of chickens and a few hens of the woods last year. I really want to make on of your outings sometime. Love the videos!
Good job on explaining everything very well...I've been mushrooming since I could walk and I haven't got tired of finding them yet love the outdoors an everything in it.. Good job again man good luck hunting...
Lots and lots of morels! Nice work.
When collecting morals I was taught to place them in an onion sack. We believe it will help broadcast the spores as you walk through the forest.
I’ve heard flick ‘em and pick ‘em, but that’s a good idea too.
Someone also told me that is the reason we use baskets when mushroom hunting.
@@brokenwishbone422 That, and shrooms like to be stored light and aery. When stored airtight they tend to spoil quickly.
@@Sweeps good tip
I'm in northwest Pennsylvania too and this year I found morels in every old orchard I checked that had the thick ground cover just like at 15:00 in this video. Didn't find them around any other tree species though...
I’m in Vermont and try find them for 5 yr and I give up. Last yr I go for walk after work, and stumbled on it not even looking for it.Only like 5-6 I find and they almost old but not too old to eat. This yr I can’t wait to go same spot and see if they come back.Very excited for go looking .
Well I just see you harvest them next to ramps and trillium flowers. I have spot where I harvest ramps ,hmm I may go there look for morels too. Ty for info.
i really like your vibe, man. thank you for such well-created content. i don't have much time, but this is the kind of stuff i would geek out over if i had infinite amounts of time. cheers.
I like your videos and definitely keep my eye out for them. Thank you.
Can't wait till I'm a pro like you! My husband and I just started our mushroom career this season and found two yellow morels, our very first morels ever. Not much, I know, but very exciting for us!!! And so delicious! Now I understand why people are passionate about hunting them. Great video. Thank you. But I noticed that you aren't telling us your exact hunting spots. And I don't blame you. 😊
Glad you found some this year! I see lots more in the future for you!
Mushroom hunters typically guard their successful hunting grounds very carefully.
There are some spectacular hidden spots in Reading, PA if you're ever out that way! Look out for Neversink Mountain! An absolutely huge spot along the Schuylkill and has cliff features carved by glaciers. Absolutely amazing hidden gem of PA!
Awesome! I haven't made my way out to Reading. Perhaps soon!
@@LearnYourLand please do! It's worth a ride. Neversink overlooks the city of Reading. It's gorgeous and filled with magical treasures like old wine cellars built into the mountain, trolley tracks, an abandoned tuberculosis center, a river and scenic views. So great for exploring! I'd love to tag along if you ever do make it out!
Hi Adam this ed I've been a avid moral mushroom hunter scenes I've been a kid I just wanted to let you know I think u do a great job. And that I appreciate that u dont just cover one specific mushroom. Ide like to learn more about others besides morals. Keep making vids please. Thank you so much it made my wife and I time in the woods much more pleasant
Hey Adam, at 8:00 minutes into the video ..the two mushrooms you showed us ..we've always called "grays" here in northern Michigan and they usually appear about the time the black morel is winding down. Then about a week later we would find sometimes huge "whites" or "Yellows." What I am asking are they the same, or a bit different..becoz the "grays" seem to be denser in texture and tastier in my opinion. Also, we have been finding a few "white" morels in the 8 to twelve inch range ...but not in last few years. It was not uncommon for some people to camp a few days and haul out 20-40 pounds of morels...:D
Sixty years ago, we used to find lots of Morels (& wild Asparagus) in the woods surrounding our house in SW Michigan, between Kalamazoo & Grand Rapids. Brings back some good memories of the hunt.
Good morning Adam. Love you videos. Your comment about people not picking along the trail, most people don't know what they are. You wouldn't believe how many times I will be out with my kids foraging and they don't get what we are doing. They don't believe it. They don't know they are editable. My kids can tell you what's good. Not good. Different between the different fiddleheads, mushrooms and how to find leeks. Teachers at schools are blown away..
Nice, Adam! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much for all your videos.I've been hunting for morels in the woods around Lancaster City. I haven't seen any yet; it might be a bit early in the season. I plan to get out just after it rains and as it warms up. The videos are extremely helpful to get a feel for where one might find them.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm still looking for my first morels.
You're welcome! And keep looking... you'll eventually find them!
I found morels growing right next to oysters here in Denver just about a week ago! 2.7lbs of oyster and a few oz of morels. It was exhilarating!
Excellent!
If I were a betting person I would bet that all edible mushrooms have beneficial medicinal effects for the human body and mind.
Congratulations. What a catch.
Under cottonwoods?
@@OG1919 Even “magic” mushrooms have medicinal properties in the right dose.
Adam, thank you for taking us with you. This is the first year I've found half free morels. It takes a lot to make a pound, but they are delicious. All the ones I found were on flat land, strictly under shag bark hickory stands. There was poison ivy and poison oak all over the woods. Also harvested a good bunch of blood root too 👍🏻
Watching ahead of the 2019 season, losing my private property orchard this year to the owner whose heath is on the mend, so can't be sore about it (found decent amount there last year), but my other areas last year were horrible. Never heard of them coming up around Black Cherry, will have to keep an eye out for that. I have a few areas of Tulip Poplars, hopefully they produce better this year, and will just have to get out there and hike and search! Southwestern PA.
I'm watching this in advance to the season 2019. Can't wait to hunt some beautiful morels
Me too!!
Have you gotten any? I went two weeks ago and found a bountiful patch! I harvested 26 fully mature morels. I live in southern california so the seasons ending for me
I wonder what month is good in Durango, Colorado for Morrels?
@@carolferguson5467 months can vary, weathers your best bet. When the soil temperature is about 50 degrees and after a good rain. Morels can pop up literally overnight after a good day of rain. Ash trees, oak trees, cherry trees, tulip trees, aspen, and elm. They seem to grow close by, or even logging sites if you know any. Hope this helps you good luck!
psamocybin cubensis I heard they grow quite while in burn areas. We had horrible wild fires last year here in Durango, Colorado. But I also heard the burn area needs to be a coup,e of years old, is that correct ? Thank you so much for communicating 😉
THIS year I finally forced myself to try Morels after 30+ years of gathering them!!! .. ... Their Michigan species' taste is so delicate, the ONLY way to eat them is the sauté, and, a pinch of salt.
Last year while searching the edge of the parking lot of Feather Falls Casino in Oroville Calif. I found about a dozen prime Yellow Morels growing at the backside of the lot under a hedge of an unknown variety to me that was planted along the fence line. This surprised the hell out of me since I had never seen Morels of any kind in this area before! A nice surprise it was too! Yummy!
I think this is the "freshest" video I have seen from you :) I am hoping that you will do a video on which and why Mushrooms should be cooked. Maybe how to store them too? I love eating them raw but I have only had store bought Mushrooms. I love your videos because they show me that I'll never go hungry if I learn all (some:P) of these identifications you've shown us. Thank you!
Love your videos man. Thanks!
great attitude. rewarded. good to see- thank you
I'm just watching this. Getting me all amped up for the incoming morel season. I'm in SW Michigan here, very similar in environment. Just quite a bit more wet in most places. Still very similar. Makes me excited!
This should be a video for toddlers because they are going to learn to find and counting mushrooms 🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄 🤣
Your videos are very clear and well put together. Thank you for sharing your passion, and helping me with mine. Extremely knowledgable, and good on the eyes too ;) I Can't wait for pandemic-lock down to ease up a bit here in Ontario and go proper plant/fungi hunting. Found a morel the other day on a city lawn... so lucky!!! Anyways, you definitely have a new subscriber, thanks again and keep making vids!
Hay bud You and me respect the woods in same way ! Fantastic Knowalage love your angle and approch You are a true master of this subject Respect . I live in London in the UK I have been foraging for about 25 years now ..... still alive Just about LOL . My background is working for the Royal familey and in particular Working for A Royal Duke in London . That's enough name dropping .... Blown away by your knowage and expertise . Love to meet you one day. over a good glass of wine and a plate of Morels with cream and pasta LOL Take care Philip Clark x
I don't remember what year it was it posted in our news paper some one found morel mushroom 12 inches tall . Thanks Adam for info on where to look and what trees this was very help full.
Great video as always Adam , Kentucky's motel season was not kind, but always the optimist, our other spring mushrooms are doing great, the terrestrial mushrooms are just starting to show up, can't wait to start the next phase
Thanks Mike!
+Awesome video! Appreciate your educated advice. I have been watching other morel picking videos & they say "not getting as many as we used to, seems less & less every year," while they pick every mushroom in sight. I call it clear picking, but they try to say carrying them in a mesh bag releases enough spoors. Apparently not if you're getting fewer each year. I leave at least 2 in a cluster of 4 or 5 & a quarter of the mushrooms on larger clusters. Glad you advise leaving some to start more. Responsible foraging is a must if you don't want to exhaust the resources.
I love your sprinklage of spiritual terms and connections in your videos :)
Amazing Pa morel season. Mine started with blacks early greys then giant yellows.
I found one, but it was my first so I am happy. Next year I know I believe I will have a more fruitful season after what I have learned this year.
Love your channel so much brother.
I love your videos!! Very educational and I appreciate it! Great job!
Wow!! I love it . Look like you have a great trip.
You are a true wealth of information. Thank you
Digging the Benji Hughes song! I've seen him perform more than once and always enjoy his tunes. Y'all should definitely check out his first album "a love extreme".
I can't wait until mid March when the Morel Madness begins!!!!
In my own hunting, I've noticed you can usually find them in or around may apple. As seen in your great video. Just found your channel, and really love it. Thanks!
Fantastic Knowledge , thank you for sharing!
Sweet video! I just took my kiddos hunting and will be making a morel hunting video of my own!
Thank you for this! I've never found them. You have got some serious mushroom eyeballs man! I wonder how many I walk right over!
I would love your woods patch! Kinda jelly. Thanks, I will be happy with my pheasant back 😅... great video as always!
