My dad and my one brother David plus myself hunted mushrooms in the timber stands within a three mile area. My brother and I did pretty good most years but our dad had his secret spots he picked on his way home from work. He would walk in with grocery bags full from three spots he kept secret till the day he passed at 87. He never revealed his spots. Our spots have been over run with buck brush and dried up. My brother has passed also at an early age of 61 and myself I have been handicapped due to a hit and run driver. Mushroom hunting gets into your blood and I think it is fun and competitive in family's.
@@billmueller1576 So glad you got to experience some of life's greatest moments. Family and Morels, thats right at the top! One day their will be no competition for them at all. They will be all you can eat.
@@christopher9226 I'm band from Oklahoma in 1999 I got busted by a conservation officer selling 600 lbs of fresh state park morels at the Fllying J. The put electronic tracking tags in the morels( same ones they put on Texahoma Strippers) well when they rolled up on me at first theys being jerks but then the mouths started watering stairing at them Okie shrooms. They confiscated about 8 pounds and said,,don't come back. Well you know what happens when another man tries to tell another man what too do? YEP I been back to that marshy timber lined bottoms along 72 every year since.
I micro dosed mushrooms after fighting depression for over 7years, being incapable of work for the last 2years. In shot summary I became depression free within a couple of months and still I'm 6months later it saved me.
@@michaellesniak1310 I really get happy anytime I see people talking about Dr jackshroom, he is the best All pure psychedelic and shrooms I get from him
My friend whom taught me how to hunt morels past away of a sudden heart attack.. he was 55 years old. RIP. The very next season, a single morel popped up in my backyard, in the middle of the grass lawn, just below my back deck. How could this possibly happen? Thank you my friend and may God bless your soul. 😊
I was working at a large apartment complex in California. One day a big rig came and unloaded wood chips for the flower beds. The truck driver told me he came from Washington( state) When spring came about 6 mo's. Later, there were morel mushrooms coming up everywhere the wood chips were placed. They were giant yellow morels
Finally found a real morel hunter to follow and learn some good knowledge from. Thank you my friend. Your obviously a seasoned man in morels. I'm stoked
Oh man thank you so much! Hopefully this will be a decent season. Doesn't matter what you know if you don't get rain at the right time. THANKS for your support and good luck in 2023 Mitchell.
I grew up in Missouri, and hunting mushrooms - outside of poison ivy - was one of the best things about living on the farm. I loved hearing the spring peepers as you crossed over that beaver dam.
We use to go hunting for them but never ever found them like you lol But we are to old now to hunt 81 years young. Love to see you finding them keep going.
I just found your channel today. I love the morel video's. Could you do a prep/cooking video. Everyone that eats them use dif concoctions on their spices and what not.
Thank you so much Talor. Maybe but I have done a few of them in the past and had very low views. They are the best thing on earth to eat! Hope you find all you can eat and more in 2023.
New to your channel. I have 2 daughters as well but twice the age of yours now. I’ve stayed away from mushroom hunting for many years because of ticks here in southern indiana. I’m as far south as you can get. I just lost my dad and he always mushroom hunted. It brought back great memories for him as a boy finding mushrooms for his family as a kid. He hunted for them as well for food because they were so poor. With him on my mind, I found my way back to the woods and found about a gallon or more whites and greys. My wife and grown kids were all excited so we got together to fry them up and make a family event out of it. Well, everyone except me ended up either throwing up or sick feeling because they are so many. I held back and let them all enjoy themselves so I only ate about 5 and I was fine. I did soak them overnight in saltwater. I don’t even know if that necessary but I remember us doing that when I was a kid. I heard my dads voice when I was out mushroom hunting. I could just imagine his voice saying, leaves are too deep here, or it’s too dry here, go closer to the creek and bottoms. That’s where I found them. The biggest patch gave me about 45 and they were all between blown down pine trees probably 20 inches round. The last place I expected to find any. I’m a woodworker as well. The blocks you made with spores really caught my interest. First I’ve heard of doing such. I remember dad finding big whites but when you’re a kid things are huge. Lol….Thanks for sharing.
Woh! Sycamore duff 😎 good to know. Thought that is around apple, elm or ash tree. Mine is in NE with 6B zone. Still waiting and looking around. Enjoy watching your video. 👍🏼
Complimenti hai trovato tantissimi !!!!Nella mia zona nel N E Italia si trovano ma più piccoli e di colore un po' più scuro.Sono squisiti .Quando sono fortunata e li trovo faccio sempre tagliatelle fatte in casa con spugnole.....una bontà .Un saluto cordiale.
It was so fun to go along with you on your hunt for morels! Thank you so much for the encouragement. Here in upstate New York I have to wait a little bit longer to go out into our sycamore forest that I usually walk in and I am so excited to possibly meet a Morel in person for once this season! Be well and take good care. Thanks again.
You should be using a onion sack to let any mushroom spores be released back onto the ground, also when you leave a mushroom you should break it up with your hands and spread it out for the following year.
Everything you just commented is,, ,WRONG,,, everything you just sad is the same thing every other sheep has said since the first internet morels chat board in 2002 said.,,,BAAA BAAA,,,
Found a few down here in Georgia, nothing like that, but hope to get back out after some more rain and warmer temps. Never seen anything like that haul, congrats!
Congrats? I do this every season it's just another day ....no,I'm just kidding! Thank you. Yes what a lucky find. I see these kind of monsters maybe every fourth year or so and was so lucky to catch it on film.Thanks so much. Hope you find more than you would ever need.
@@johnnyfish6051 I just got back from morel hunting. The high temp today was 44. I found around 30 shrooms. We were in the 70s and 80s for a week. Season is still early here
So jealous you guys were already getting them! Over here in Oregon we are still waiting just to get up to growing temps, normally the little ones are popping by now but were are still getting days of snow and hail.
Slow warm up's usually means more morels. Aleast you got moisture. That's aleast half of what you need for a morelly situation. THANKS GOOD LUCK IN 2023
I can’t wait for this year I normally some early ones Virginia around the 15 th or 20th but the blondes don’t normally show up until the first week of April. However 2019 we were still finding huge flushes all the way up to the last week of May we found around 200 lbs and I hope it does it again this year. Because it was epic with so many giants. Just need some heavy rains, and flooding because they are the best years.
Me and my daughter years ago when parents were still alive they had 20 acres in the middle of the country with ALOT of woods.We actually came across a few that were about 3 feet high.Unfortunately they were getting pretty dried up and rotting.
Those look like double wall Morels.The ones I've picked were after a huge forest fire out of Houston BC.The first ones that come up are single wall Conicers the second grow you get Blondes,Greens,Blues and Greys double wall Morels.Thats in Canada.They sure are good to eat with onions and some butter.Cool video
Yes burns especially in Canada seem to have wide variety of species. Usually find my share of morels ( NOT LIKE THE NUMBERS FOND IN BURNS) but do pretty good locally. I don't find these monster Yellows every season. They seem to be associated with flood scaring as in flash floods that rip through a river bottom after freakish heavy rain and quickly recedes. Your left with places where some top soil has been removed and ground cover flatend and some tree damage. Nonetheless the landscape has been damaged above and below the ground. So the disruption is in a way similar to a forest fire as far as mycelium is concerned. Yes they are very thick! and undescribably delicious! These are not grey/yellows. Yes their are greys that turn bright yellow like the bigs in this video.But..these emerge yellow.True Yellows! The stems are unique and steroid freakish. The stalk has vertical striations like a Gyromitra Caroliniana Almost a fibrous base. Freaks!
Amazing that the central midwest is closer to spring than we are here in SC. I've been searching for morels for 3 years and yet to find one. Right spots, right trees, just no morels. Hope I didn't miss it again this year!
These last few videos were recorded last season. You haven't missed this season Chris. Hope the videos gets you excited and motivated to find a bucket full in 2023. THANKS
Don't feel bad. I looked many times last year with no success. I found my first few that was about half a pound total while crawling up on a turkey I was hunting haha.
That was really helpful- thanks!!!!! I really shared your joy !!!!! This will be my third year trying and these were sparse by all reports but I know some spots to go back to now !!!! Question…. Old apple orchard in a hollow full of false hellebore….. I heard that means no morels. What do you think?
I have no idea what hellabore is. I find any time a ground cover type plant dominate an area mushrooms in general are very scarce their. Alot of times what I see are Ramps, Lilly of the valley, stinging nettles. Any of this heavy ground cover usually means the ground is very healthy therfore mushrooms don't thrive their. Morels or any shroom that emerge from soil appear because their is chaos going on under ground. This chaos can come from flooding, burning, sudden death or removal of plant life from logging, wind damage, humans clearing ground. All these things open the forest floor to sudden new conditions with new plant varieties taking over and fighting each other for dominance. This causes chaos for mycelium underground and the mycelium will fruit mushrooms. If one plant dominates the forest floor this means no chaos, things are health and fine( steady eddie) this can also mean the mycelium below the ground is healthy and fine and no need to produce a mushroom. My best area's have that mix of plant not one dominant type. This doesnt apply to heavy or thick grass.
They don't grow that big here in Columbus Ohio but I get some pretty big ones but those are ridiculously crazy we just get big Morales here and that's what we enjoy. Pick mushrooms and I love all birds seasons. Don't really care about deer hunting anymore but if I need to take one it looks like we're going to be in a hard depression so I'm going to be forging and fishing and everything love this video thank you.
@@johnnyfish6051 I don't think they grow that big in Ohio maybe I'm wrong. I just get some really big morels people want to say hey can I have some like the other hundred and $120 a pound lol I'll keep for myself.
Brother that's amazing! Lol when I saw you almost having to go through those cattails it reminded me of some of the places that I get myself into. I was scouting a couple weeks ago and ended up having to go through a huge swamp full of em! Not easy or fun! Here in Southern Ontario, we have plenty of Sycamore, but I never find morels near them. I find them with apple, Elm, spruce and Pine, aspen and sometimes ash. Strange that I don't find them near Sycamore. Good luck this year!
Not easy at all. But its what it takes be successful on a regular basis. Morels are very localized. I've never seen one close to Ash? 250 miles from me Ash is best? Its part of the allure. See ya Joe
I’m in Ontario too, and have found them in the grass near Apple, a few around pine too, but mostly in grass seems the most consistent…. But I certainly can’t make a living off them, lol, I’d starve!
Found one a few years ago almost knee high. Was the size of a half gallon of milk. Sucked it was starting to rott so we couldn't est it. Every year I check the same spot. Crazy thing was it was literally growing out of a gravely areal on the side of a driveway. Lol
@JohnnyFish we also have issues with slugs on our morrels. Here in sw pa. Also we got weeks till ours start popping. Crazy how early southern states get them
@@marijuonko7092 yep slugs and bugs. Some reason the bug were very lite last year, you know how things come and go. These last few morel vids were recorded last season. Dont have time to edit videos during morel season. When I post them in June or July people have lost interest and they don't get views. So I hold them for the following season. Info is all the same. Yeah I'm still 3 weeks out for this years morels. Unless some freak warm up.Dont see it the forecast. Hope the vids get up motivated and pumped for 2023.
Yeah with out looking I would say parts if Indiana are in a warmer climate zone. Nobody said this video was filmed or recorded this year. It could have been 10 yrs ago, the info is still the same. Hunt the Sycamore fluff in 2023...good luck hope you find a ton! Thanks!
60 a pound fresh + tips ( yes I do get tips quite often if you can belive that). But don't quit your day job as a....creepy clown? In my home state you have to be licensed to sell wild mushrooms and selling shrooms harvested from state and fed.ground is illegal. Most states you gota have fish,hunt license, conservation pass ect.for that state to pick on public land. States were theirs alot of national parks, conservation areas, the rules get way more stricked.
@JohnnyFish hopefully it warms up quick. I like to think, though, that its still warming up slightly quicker than last year did. I think the earliest I've ever found them in kansas was in mid to late march.
@@randym8963 Cool, I like your style. Ya I eat a couple meals worth every year. But man I really dislike the dam things the rest of the year. My river bottoms are infested with them chest high.
@JohnnyFish I like what you do too bud. Sharing your knowledge with others is awesome. Those nettles can be dried for use later in the year .a lot of nutrients and medicinal benefits. Those are some sweet lookn morels
Ist das aktuell ? Super, ich würde sie auf der Seite aufschneiden. Ich will wissen, ob es kleine Tiere darin hat. Die Stiele muss man nicht wegschneiden. alles essbar. Man kann die Morcheln auch trocknen, das Aroma ist intensiver.
Oh man,,,, I have no idea. Where's that England? If it's a heavily used public area stay way off any trails and keep walking. I find most people don't walk far enough or spend a proper amount of time looking. Keep walking and looking through every small open space between the bushes just have to focus and cover more physical ground to increase your odds. Its hard work! For sure! Thanks and good luck.
I have no idea but that’s what my dad called them but everyone around here calls them that but we know they r morels but everyone likes Molly moocher, throw a shout out on next video saying that u learned a new name for morels!!!!
Just to be clear this was last year. That was about s 75 degrees day in the fourth week of our more season. Unlike popular belief cold weather is why morels get this size and thickness. It takes a few warm days and night to make them emerge but after that you want cold. It keeps them fresh and healthy. Learn watch vegetation growth, tree leaf size, what trees and flowers are blooming, those things will tell you when Morels are up. Thanks hope you find a bunch!
@@johnnyfish6051 i had to google who sub zero was 🤣 im not as cool as you. It pulled up the animation ,ice age heroes.... or the mortal kombat character . Which one is it? 😅😎
What state are you in, we always hunted in dead elm, and white and black ash trees, and around old apple sometimes cottonwood in upper MI round boyne city trees,
@JohnnyFish I'm in texas now, may I ask what kind of trees and surroundings u hunt in in fla, im 65, but hav a neurological cond that makes me fall too much, and fracture MANY bones!...but oh, how I miss ot!

So the disruption is in a way similar to a forest fire as far as mycelium is concerned. Yes they are very thick! and undescribably delicious! These are not grey/yellows. Yes their are greys that turn bright yellow like the bigs in this video.But..these emerge yellow.True Yellows! The stems are unique and steroid freakish. The stalk has vertical striations like a Gyromitra Caroliniana Almost a fibrous base. Freaks!
Anyway everyone says no such thing as a yellow/yellow. I say their is and you just seen them.
I love those things we used to get them in Indiana little 8:01 guys fry them up and they have a taste of their own
There ok..........just kidding. Yeah best thing on this planet to eat I believe. Thanks Laurie.
Amazing that the central midwest is closer to spring than we are here in SC. I've been searching for morels for 3 years and yet to find one. Right spots, right trees, just no morels. Hope I didn't miss it again this year!
These last few videos were recorded last season. You haven't missed this season Chris. Hope the videos gets you excited and motivated to find a bucket full in 2023. THANKS
Don't feel bad. I looked many times last year with no success. I found my first few that was about half a pound total while crawling up on a turkey I was hunting haha.
I found my first morels 3-4 days ago in upstate SC, they are out there right now, don't give up, good luck👍
Get'm Chris!
I don't believe this is central mid west . I live in central mid west and we don't get morels quite yet
10/10 video my guy!
Thank you so much, means a ton Christian.
Here in WV we call them white black and dog pecker morels....they are found in different places
I call them delicious! Thanks Mark
That was really helpful- thanks!!!!! I really shared your joy !!!!! This will be my third year trying and these were sparse by all reports but I know some spots to go back to now !!!! Question…. Old apple orchard in a hollow full of false hellebore….. I heard that means no morels. What do you think?
I have no idea what hellabore is. I find any time a ground cover type plant dominate an area mushrooms in general are very scarce their. Alot of times what I see are Ramps, Lilly of the valley, stinging nettles. Any of this heavy ground cover usually means the ground is very healthy therfore mushrooms don't thrive their. Morels or any shroom that emerge from soil appear because their is chaos going on under ground. This chaos can come from flooding, burning, sudden death or removal of plant life from logging, wind damage, humans clearing ground. All these things open the forest floor to sudden new conditions with new plant varieties taking over and fighting each other for dominance. This causes chaos for mycelium underground and the mycelium will fruit mushrooms. If one plant dominates the forest floor this means no chaos, things are health and fine( steady eddie) this can also mean the mycelium below the ground is healthy and fine and no need to produce a mushroom. My best area's have that mix of plant not one dominant type. This doesnt apply to heavy or thick grass.
Wow those are big boys, sell those bad boys lol , nice find 👍😎
They were! Thanks
Nice video. I miss them yellers
Best morels I’ve ever seen!
Yes, not to often you see Yellows that big still so FRESH.Good eye! Two days of cool air with all day fog and mist did that.
Cool video. I hit the sycamores too. Can’t wait for the morels to get here. You got me real pumped up lol
Thanks, me too. Hope you find a bunch!
@@johnnyfish6051 I hope you do too man! What state are you in? Ohio here.
@@jimsexton Kansas
See the frog on the limb at 9:12???
Great find congrats
Thanks, lucky day for sure. Hope your well. Happy foraging!
@@johnnyfish6051 your welcome same to you
I can barely wait. I found about 300 last year. It was my best year in out of 5.
6 is the magic number. I hope you find to many ta carry'm all.
They dont pop up till April in my area. The weather where I'm at is crazy goes from 60s to teens and snowing but next week is supposed to be all 50s
Same, this was recorded last year. Snow flurries the last two days and 17 degrees last night. Good luck in2023 hope you do well.
Nice
Thanks for watching.
That’s awesome. If I find 10 in a season in pa I’m lucky
They don't grow that big here in Columbus Ohio but I get some pretty big ones but those are ridiculously crazy we just get big Morales here and that's what we enjoy. Pick mushrooms and I love all birds seasons. Don't really care about deer hunting anymore but if I need to take one it looks like we're going to be in a hard depression so I'm going to be forging and fishing and everything love this video thank you.
them were freaky thick shrooms man . pure luck! it might happen to you this year. GoodLuck!
@@johnnyfish6051 I don't think they grow that big in Ohio maybe I'm wrong. I just get some really big morels people want to say hey can I have some like the other hundred and $120 a pound lol I'll keep for myself.
@@bopitbull3957 I hear ya! I can eat them every other dinner for 3 weeks straight and not be tired of them.
Idk where you are but omg I've never seen that many and so big !
It was pue luck. Thanks so much. Hope you find a ton!
Super find
Lucky day that's all. Thanks!
I am so envious!
No skill here, just a long walk in the woods. Pure luck, for one very brief moment in time.
How much was the spore you said like two hundred? Not a bad haul! Good job.
Yep luck to come across them. Thanks.
Brother that's amazing! Lol when I saw you almost having to go through those cattails it reminded me of some of the places that I get myself into. I was scouting a couple weeks ago and ended up having to go through a huge swamp full of em! Not easy or fun! Here in Southern Ontario, we have plenty of Sycamore, but I never find morels near them. I find them with apple, Elm, spruce and Pine, aspen and sometimes ash. Strange that I don't find them near Sycamore. Good luck this year!
Not easy at all. But its what it takes be successful on a regular basis. Morels are very localized. I've never seen one close to Ash? 250 miles from me Ash is best? Its part of the allure. See ya Joe
Thanks!
@@johnnyfish6051 I find most of mine here in Charlotte, NC, under Green Ash trees. They are out right now, 3-7
@@michaelspunich7273 sweet! Thank you
I’m in Ontario too, and have found them in the grass near Apple, a few around pine too, but mostly in grass seems the most consistent…. But I certainly can’t make a living off them, lol, I’d starve!
Dang 🤔 your woods look different than mine in February
Yeah I bet. Didn't say these were picked in February. I film a year in advance . THANKS for watching.
@@johnnyfish6051 lol
Found one a few years ago almost knee high. Was the size of a half gallon of milk. Sucked it was starting to rott so we couldn't est it. Every year I check the same spot. Crazy thing was it was literally growing out of a gravely areal on the side of a driveway. Lol
Ya their funny like that. Usually when the get that big they ain't in very good condition. Thanks! Find some more!
@JohnnyFish we also have issues with slugs on our morrels. Here in sw pa. Also we got weeks till ours start popping. Crazy how early southern states get them
@@marijuonko7092 yep slugs and bugs. Some reason the bug were very lite last year, you know how things come and go. These last few morel vids were recorded last season. Dont have time to edit videos during morel season. When I post them in June or July people have lost interest and they don't get views. So I hold them for the following season. Info is all the same. Yeah I'm still 3 weeks out for this years morels. Unless some freak warm up.Dont see it the forecast. Hope the vids get up motivated and pumped for 2023.
Iowa? How tf, I thought Iowa was colder than Indiana? It's not even warm enough to hunt Morels here yet..
Yeah with out looking I would say parts if Indiana are in a warmer climate zone. Nobody said this video was filmed or recorded this year. It could have been 10 yrs ago, the info is still the same. Hunt the Sycamore fluff in 2023...good luck hope you find a ton! Thanks!
Nice haul my friend, how much a pound? Great video 👍
Pure luck. So glad to find them. $60
Thanks
Great video... do you mind sharing what you get a pound for them?
60 a pound fresh + tips ( yes I do get tips quite often if you can belive that). But don't quit your day job as a....creepy clown? In my home state you have to be licensed to sell wild mushrooms and selling shrooms harvested from state and fed.ground is illegal. Most states you gota have fish,hunt license, conservation pass ect.for that state to pick on public land. States were theirs alot of national parks, conservation areas, the rules get way more stricked.
Show us how you make the spores block you hang from trees. Thanks
I did. Its the newest video.
Wow already I didn't think it's warm enough.. central Missouri
Yes. I would agree.
Some black morels have been found in extreme southern Missouri a few days ago.
Nettles and thorns never kept me from going in the woods. Best of luck to your hunting. bless you and your family.
Hunter my man! Chew"m up and spit'm out. THANKS hope your well.
@JohnnyFish I hope you and your family is doing well too. I think next week after it warms up I'll probably start my season here in Manhattan.
@@hunterbrant6742 unless we get some crazy fast warm up through Central Kansas
@@hunterbrant6742 3 weeks minimum before central Kansas is going.
@JohnnyFish hopefully it warms up quick. I like to think, though, that its still warming up slightly quicker than last year did. I think the earliest I've ever found them in kansas was in mid to late march.
Отличный итог. У нас только еще начинают расти грибы.
Very nice
Pure luck.THANKS
Looks delicious
The best!
We’re you at Johnny. I need to find me a spot like that.
dude i walked so deep in the woods I dont remember. in fact Im still lost..
I understand what you are saying. Every time I find a good place I have the same problem. Thanks for the video.
@@budbrown9504 thank you
morchella lalala ..... love it
Man,are you grandpa morel?
Yes,
Do you harvest nettles too?
Nice to meet you
@@randym8963 Cool, I like your style. Ya I eat a couple meals worth every year. But man I really dislike the dam things the rest of the year. My river bottoms are infested with them chest high.
@JohnnyFish I like what you do too bud.
Sharing your knowledge with others is awesome.
Those nettles can be dried for use later in the year .a lot of nutrients and medicinal benefits.
Those are some sweet lookn morels
@@randym8963 Yep, take care Randy talk to ya soon. Thanks.
Just subbed. Great vid
Thanks for the support! Means a ton.
Wow..years ago on farm in ohio loved to mushroom hunt..prices are gold..probably 40$ a lb.❤
Morels GOODddddd! Thanks! be good.
@@johnnyfish6051 I have best recipe !there is no better taste..I can taste them now..
@@virginiamosic7734 crushed stove top stuffing fix..and deep fry
Go that .sounds good..dip in beaten egg ..then panic crums..fry in oil..season..
Ist das aktuell ? Super, ich würde sie auf der Seite aufschneiden. Ich will wissen, ob es kleine Tiere darin hat. Die Stiele muss man nicht wegschneiden. alles essbar. Man kann die Morcheln auch trocknen, das Aroma ist intensiver.
Morels! Yeah
A JohnnyFish classic. You cannot watch this one too many times!
@TattooedGranny So sweet, thank you! I wish it was better vid quality, Granny. But I'll take it. You made my day.
@@johnnyfish6051 it’s probably the best morel hunting videos I have ever seen. Have a great week!
Do they go around certain trees? Love to have some rips from you
I find most of mine around Sycamore, Cottonwood, Elm, Cedar and hold your breath ....Black Willow.
Wonderful
Thanks for watching. Good luck.
Nice, I never had thses, because I dont know where to find them..
Thanks for watching Melissa. Got to get some. They are the tastiest things e...v....er!!! See ya.
I have been in cannok forest in West Midlands and I didn’t find nothing, to many bushes between trees 😢, any tips were in 🇬🇧 should I find ?
Oh man,,,, I have no idea. Where's that England? If it's a heavily used public area stay way off any trails and keep walking. I find most people don't walk far enough or spend a proper amount of time looking. Keep walking and looking through every small open space between the bushes just have to focus and cover more physical ground to increase your odds. Its hard work! For sure! Thanks and good luck.
What a great treasure ❤🎉😊
You've inspired me. I'm going
Touches me to here that! Good luck!
Awesome video we love looking for molly moochers but what state just wondering we getting ready to go look in our state West Virginia soon!!!!
Thanks, I'm so far out in the sticks we don't even name this place. Is a Molly mooch a Morel?
Yes that’s what we call them in West Virginia, awesome name don’t u think!!!
How did that name come about?
I have no idea but that’s what my dad called them but everyone around here calls them that but we know they r morels but everyone likes Molly moocher, throw a shout out on next video saying that u learned a new name for morels!!!!
@@huntingandfishingwithlogan2367 Molly Moocher! Got it. Thanks
Son its rainin in mich and70 deg its almost time hehe😁😁i luv eatn stems lil flour&cornmeal n fry then babies up🙏🏻🙏🏻
Tear'm up!!
Nice video, What’s the temperature there then
Just to be clear this was last year. That was about s 75 degrees day in the fourth week of our more season. Unlike popular belief cold weather is why morels get this size and thickness. It takes a few warm days and night to make them emerge but after that you want cold. It keeps them fresh and healthy. Learn watch vegetation growth, tree leaf size, what trees and flowers are blooming, those things will tell you when Morels are up. Thanks hope you find a bunch!
What time of the year are they coming out I am in New Jersey
Mine mid april , NJ have zero idea. Hope you find a ton! Thanks
Now do a crappie n shroom catch n cook 😋 I'd check that out 👍
I could probably do that. Not a promise but good idea. Thanks Greg.
@@johnnyfish6051 it'd be an eye catcher for sure 👍
Youre a hero johnny 🍄🫶
Riiiight...wha'd you say? sub zero

@@victoria-davies just keep giggling
What state are you in, we always hunted in dead elm, and white and black ash trees, and around old apple sometimes cottonwood in upper MI round boyne city trees,
Southern Florida here,
@JohnnyFish I'm in texas now, may I ask what kind of trees and surroundings u hunt in in fla, im 65, but hav a neurological cond that makes me fall too much, and fracture MANY bones!...but oh, how I miss ot!
@@johnnyfish6051they don't grow here in Florida
@jetsam12 O'ya is that a challenge?
How do you store them in the bags? How long do they last? I usually dry them, then reconstitute later in cream.
Watching pick these Morels is killing me. My dad and I used to get up early and go hunting for Morels. Fantastic eats that's for sure. Nice haul sir.
Morel hunting is one of those magical things.Famliy,fun,good eats. Yeah living life right! THANKS hope your well.
Where are you located? Do you take others to foraging? That will be great!
I'm located so far out in the sticks......
...we don't even name this place. Yeah I'll take anyone more picking. Just get my email at the top of my home page,it's under the "ABOUT" title. Email me your highest bid for my best spot. Make sure you add six zero's to it and your proof of employment ( such as you current referral tax return) and I'll get back wich'ya. Thanks!

How early do you start hunting morels? February seems a little early
