Holy Mother of all Morel Mushroom Masters, Batman! I have watched 4-5 RUclips videos trying to find good Morel hunting guidance and BOOM, finally hit the Mother Load. Thank you X 100 for this rich-in-content video masterpiece, delivered with superior palatability. I'm also in Washington and was concerned about Morel availability here. No more worries! I'll be baaaaaack.
This was so informative! Thank you, I really enjoyed your video and now I'm super excited to find some morels! I live in Detroit, Michigan but I camp a lot and take my dogs walking on a lot of trails. Last year I found a BUNCH of chicken and hen of the woods mushrooms! It was so exciting!
Thank you! I love chicken of the woods, but we don't have hen of the woods out this way and I wish I could experience finding one! You're likely in a good area for morels too I bet.
i know how you feel, when you finally found a good spot and been going for years and someone also found your spot and leaving behind hints of pickings. always love your videos it's fun to watch.
Mushroom Dance Yeah! So we filmed that last spring, and I totally forgot my brother had that on camera until reviewing the footage last week, ha! What a surprise, but it shows the authenticity of the moment that a lot of us foragers feel!
I have researched RUclips for Morel mushroom information, for about one year now. Though there are plenty of them out there but your video trumps them all, in my opinion. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for all the pertinent information about morel!!! So informative and entertaining as well. I am a subscriber now. I will go through all your videos on other mushrooms as well... I haven't found any morels yet (A new Morel mushroom hunter) but this channel is a better find than the morel mushrooms!!
if you haven't yet, try stuffing morels with your choice of cheese- slice bottom of stem, and keep them whole. Then batter and deep fry upside down. My favorite preparation! Also you're freaking gorgeous!!
She’s back!!!! Wooooo 🤙that morel happy dance had me rolling over here😂 It never loses it’s magic. Big score with that shed you found as well wow. Hope you and your bro keep these coming. Best educational mushroom vids out there. Thanks for making it fun and exciting for us your charisma is contagious. Happy foraging🍄🍄
Haha, yes the happy dance was fully caught on camera this time! And thank you, as much as we try to keep things coming we aren't the best at releasing a lot of content at once 😆
That 'eye calibration' thing works the same way with spring peepers. You hear them all around you.. but you can't see a single one... until you do. Then, you see them everywhere!
We had the black morels on the farm in Iowa… typically found en masse around the decaying oaks. Sooooo tasty! Our morels in Iowa were HUGE in comparison though!
Great video Rachel! I really appreciate your genuine love for mushrooms and your passion to learn more and teach what you know! You’re just as excited with the last one you found as you are with the first one, and that I can relate with! Although lately, I haven’t been hunting too much .... I recently moved to the west coast of British Columbia, from the interior:... the west coast has vastly different climate and forest type than what I’m used to... it Rains a lot here and the forests are crazy thick, black berries and ferns and moss everywhere ! all sorts of green stuff! I’m not used to so much green! And I don’t know where to look for morels! I’m use to a pretty temperate climate and I know just where to look I’m my home area, but out here I have had little luck... although I haven’t dedicated much time to searching for morels , mainly because I don’t know the areas and I’ve been doing more fishing instead, but I’ve also felt discouraged because I’m out of my element, but I really want to get back out there and feel the joy of finding the morels like you showed in this video. Took me years to find good producing morel spots in my home forests, out here seems like a lot harder hunting. Any advice?
Great video, thanks. We live in Portland and I am exited to go look for Morels this Spring. I have not hunted for them since I was a kid living in Georgia.
Oh my gosh!! You are such an angel rn!! I’ve literally spent the past 4 days in Montana and Idaho hunting these boys😩😩 imma go back out tmrw and Definitely get to it with this amazing new info👌 bless🙏🙏
Clicked on this so fast - thank you for the really informational video! Hoping I can find my first morels around my area and this has been extremely helpful.
The very reason when we were very young (ie - smaller), we kids found the morels faster than the full grown adults! As a tall adult now with a spine injury, I often wonder if I could train my dog to search specifically for morels, so I won’t have to bend down!
I’m going to scout some areas in OR this weekend, found gyromitras in WA yesterday so morels will be here soon. Saw a huge flush of burn morels posted this week in the OR burn areas though.
I love seeing fellow Michiganders! I'm new to mushroom hunting and I found chicken and hen of the woods last year around Southfield! Where are you hunting from?
Wow what a wonderful video!!! You are clearly passionate about mushrooms and educating about them! This is a video that I will refer to all my friends who show literally any interest in mushrooms as I go on and on endlessely about how awesome foraging is 😄! What could be better than walk in the woods treasure hunting surrounded by nature?! You have definitely earned a subscribe from me and I look forward to checking out more of your videos🍄♥️ It's a bit early yet but I'm obsessed like many other mushroom hunters are and already getting excited about the spring 🍄 season...this was a perfect video to get the gears turning so thank you 🙌
SO HAPPY to see another video pop up from you. Thank you so much for your content. I am down in Portland and always on the look out for tips and trick from you. Great Work!
Thank you so much for continuing to share this incredibly helpful information! I have learned so much from your videos & watch them more than once to refresh my memory.
Just came across my first morels of the season here in Montana. M. brunnea, on a south facing slope of a mountain, at about 2,800 feet, growing in a stand of hemlock and red birch. That is really early for this part of the country. We usually don't start finding any until after the 1st week of May.
@@YellowElanor this is totally unrelated, but I can't get the thought out of my head. It's that time of year when we watch and rewatch mushroom videos on a level that makes binge watching a quick distraction. Since it bothers you so much to say that you can use various mushrooms to die I was thinking of a way to say it differently. You can use them to color like dyeing cloth. It really appears to bother you so I wanted to help out. I'm in Washington state also. Us girls of the PNW gotta stick together after all.
If I don't find any this year I'm going to go nuts. I'm in southern Ontario but the things have to be around somewhere. Lol two years ago a friend and I got a nice haul but last year got skunked. Depends on the weather which we all know is not normal these days. Hopefully this year is better.
As a kid my dad, mom and brother went hunting together. One of the best things to do as a family. Finding the mushroom was exciting. Like finding gild. And dry them on thread or clean them and fry in butter. A soak in salt water helps get rid of bugs. So yummy fried in butter. S and P.
This is a common misconception, I actually have a video discussing cutting mushrooms vs plucking them. Overall, neither method seem to be more beneficial to the mushroom production. Ultimately, when a mushroom is cut, the part that is left behind simply rots away, it does not regrow. The mycelium--which is the underground root like structure of a fungi--is what continues to live all year and then produces new mushroom structures when the season is right.
Love your channel! Binge watching! We have so me huge webs and spiders. I carry a stick or limb/long twig. I go around waving the stick around in front of me to knock them down before I move through the trees. I'm sure I look pretty nutts!!
I hope you find some too! And that's great to know, I knew in some areas Verpa was pretty typical to consume, it's a bit of a controversy where I live still.
@@YellowElanor Thank you! We make sure to boil verpas for at least 40 minutes and remove the water before consuming them. Morchellas as well. Mind you, in France they sell and eat Gyromytra gigas, and everything is labelled with caution signs! I know that mycotoxins levels change for the same species depending on the habitat and the latitude at which they grow, but consuming Gyromytras is considered dangerous where I live and I think it's quite extreme.
"Dry land fish" is what they sometimes call them in the eastern mountains because they look like a fish when sliced in half (especially after being battered and fried). We also get these small 'Poplar' morels, M. diminutiva. Hard to spot!
Yes I've heard that term! It made the laugh the first time I heard it, but with the cut in half shape it makes a lot of sense. I've yet to experience finding those tiny M dminutiva.
we don't have leaves really on our trees yet but I'm so excited to go mushroom hunting I've already been out nothing yet going to wait till it warms up a little bit here in Michigan
I have enjoyed your Morel Hunting videos since deciding to forage this spring 2024 in Kentucky. Would you recommend a Mushroom Field Guide, Please? You've mentioned that some resources have conflicting published information. Thank you Elanor and please keep up the excellent content!!
Another great video! I always look forward to your videos. I've been looking for morels here in NY nothing yet...but soon, alot of rain here the last few days.
@@YellowElanor Hi! Yes the first 13 of morchella brunnea. 40 feet from my house. Harvested and eaten! Great video Rachel! I hope to see another one soon.
Great informative & enthusiast video Rachael! I find these big, totally yellow even golden morels in OK that I believe are simply older specimens of the grey M Esculentoides, mostly in cedar mulch in OK; wondering if you have these up there? I sure want to visit a PNW burn this year! So lovely to see you in a new vid! Keep them coming💖
hi I'm twelve years old and I love your channel I also live in Washington but I only find oyster mushrooms What trails do you go to. I usually try to go to Whidbey and wenatchee.
"You can basically trip over them as you walk through the forest. Here's looking at you Minnesota, whose state mushroom is a Morel..." You sayyyy that, but the last time I tripped over morells, I was 9 years old... I even remember the location. Unfortunately, I live 2 hours away... le sigh. And yes, I live in Minnesota. 🙂
Early morning light is my favorite to hunt in. Sometimes the afternoon light that drops dappled light onto the forest floor makes hunting very difficult for me.
You are really good at describing the mushrooms and I love to see you get so excited when finding them I have a daughter that you remind me so much of. I do have one question do these mushrooms have to grow close to water if you could answer this for me it would help me a lot I haven’t been into mushroom hunting bee long
YE.......very informative video, a pleasure to watch and learn from! i'm only a few years into spring foraging, after over a decade of fall fungi. i've been fortunate to have friends take me to logged/thinned/burn morel locations over the past few years, but have yet to find 'naturals'. the trees/understory in this video look similar to where we find fall mushrooms, Westside of the Cascade range i presume? care to share general elevation? TIA and please keep the videos coming, i've subscribed! :)
Hi Rachel! Another great video! Keep them coming! I'm going Morel hunting today. Perfect timing for me to re watch this video! You coming back to NY anytime this year?
Found you're channel today, fantastic just subscribed. great knowledge.Heading out this week to a bush cabin belonging to a Friend could be a week- a month. Many thank you's. Let you know what I find.
Wow ... what a charming little bundle of joy you are ... ... and even the channel logo is cute to the extreme ... But I think you might have a disease: you might be afflicted by an excess of love in your heart such that it overflows in burst of passion for living life to the fullest, punctuated by feelings of goodwill towards mankind. But being the Happy Mushroom Fairy does not relieve you from the obligation of sharing with the audience a recipe for integrating your findings with meat, spices and gravy...
I live in northern Puget sound.. whats kind of environment should i be looking for to find my first moral? This will be my 3 yr hunting this evasive Houdini. The moral.. Btw.. every informative vid. 👍 I'll probably watch this a few more time for the education.

Actually got addicted to mushroom hunting because of one of your earliest videos on Spring Porcini. Hands down the best mushroom content on RUclips
Ha! That's a great compliment! Thank you so much.
@@YellowElanor well deserved!
Of all the mushroom content, you create the best!
Thank you so much!

Somebody found my hen of the woods spot. They were all cut down when I got there last autumn. The person didn't leave me anything!
I love channels that actually teach me something. Thank you for your channel.
Thank you for this thorough Morel workshop for the PNW!
You're welcome!
hard to say it all, but you and the videographer make such enjoyable content. And the personality in front of the camera is a joy to be taught by~
Thank you so much! My brother and I have a lot of fun putting these together, I'm glad it comes through in an enjoyable way.
@@YellowElanor You have such an ease talking in front of the camera. I like this format so much more than "scripted" videos :-)
she is obnoxious and spreading misinformation.
@@meganmclaughlin9056 thanks megan for sharing your thoughts
@@meganmclaughlin9056 :þ maybe you just don't know enough about mushrooms to know

Omg I have autism so I kinda obsess over mushrooms. I am SO glad that I found your channel and I can’t wait to watch more videos!
Why not learn to grow them. It is a very fascinating hobby.
I'm happy the videos have been fun for you! Yay!
That 'eye calibration' thing works the same way with spring peepers. You hear them all around you.. but you can't see a single one... until you do. Then, you see them everywhere!
Yes!
I like the way you are able to shout when you are hunting for mushrooms, and you find some. You can't scare them away🍻.

Whoohoo!

Thanks Anna! I hope you find some too! You seem like someone who would also do a happy dance if you find them ;)
The best and most informative info about morel mushrooms on RUclips! Thank you. I will be out looking once it warms up here in Saskatchewan.
Also, helps to wear camo and sneak quietly; those deer just ahead of you are eating the best ones. Cheers from michigan!
Yessss! Hi fellow Michigander! I found hen and chicken of the woods last year in parks around Southfield! Where are you in MI?
@@enjolim.4778 I'm in Kalamazoo; had an awesome year for hens, too! 28 pounds in one haul! Good luck out there

Good foraging everyone 👋❤️
Yay! Great!
@@bouncerslabrealnature9143 Also from Pennsylvania and found a few greys couple days ago. Hoping as it warms up again to find some more.

But I think you might have a disease: you might be afflicted by an excess of love in your heart such that it overflows in burst of passion for living life to the fullest, punctuated by feelings of goodwill towards mankind.
