- Let me show you how to use your phone to find natural morels growing near you!
On this video, Aaron Hilliard of the Kitsap Peninsula Mycological Society tracks down 2 different species of Morels using technology to narrow down where they may be found and finds a brand new patch. I promise, its a new patch!
In this video we have a look at the Inaturalist App, Black Cottonwood ID, Half free morel (Morchella populiphila) and the hardwood natural morel (Morchella brunnea).

Thanks yall!! Always love the vids. As someone who is brand new to the world of mushrooms, I appreciate the knowledge
In Denmark, we have something called the Fungal Atlas, with 1.1 million observations of mushrooms with statistics of host trees, time of year, soil etc.
The current stats show, that Esculenta is mostly associated with Elm, then Poplar and then Ash, whereas Vulgaris prefers Hawthorn, then poplar and then Elm. This is the top three out of the top ten hosts from registered finds, but this could very well be due to out lack of Elms (Dutch Elm disease)
We have other databases for trees and plants as well of course, and one of these show observations and map plots of about 1.500 Elms.
I use these databases extensively when looking for new "hunting grounds"
Awesome, interesting! Thanks🍄❤️
I live in the Midwest… and we have been shroom hunting for generations! You’re spot on, we believe smaller dying Elms produce the most on average. But we have found them by all the types of trees you named.
that first specimen you found was beautiful and im really glad you caught the exact moment you spotted it!
Gamechanger for me. Thank you!!! Mush love from TN 🍄
That is an awesome video Aaron! I learned so much from this video. Thank you!
I've just watched the intro and can't wait to get home from work to watch the rest... I need to find a new patch too!
Thank you! I love the way you showed the differences in the morels. I live in Kitsap County and have begun nurturing the natural morel sites at my home. You just expanded the possibilities for me.
Another fantastic educational and inspirational video Aaron. Makes me want to explore the areas just outside our little slice of Great Peninsula heaven. I always thought the really big cottonwoods were the place to look, but now I know better :-)
I live a bit more north and found some false morels, been getting out a lot looking for hikes without lots traffic but this helps to know where I'm looking, thank you for sharing!
Great video. I live along the Columbia river near Vancouver and found three morels around some cottonwoods. This video appeared at the perfect time. I did not realize I was in cottonwoods at the time. I have been watching your channel since you only had a small amount of subs and your videos never disappoint. Don’t change the casual style. Also, gunner is fun to watch. He represents all those dogs out there who couldn’t give a darn about mushrooms but just go out to keep us company. Keep up the good work.
im from vancouver too, i hike along creeks on the northshore that overflow in the winter. theres so many morels i cant carry them in this one spot its really swampy lots of decaying matter every year after it floods in the winter
Closer to Portland in the Gorge, there are quite a few
@@user-xq4tc2eg5d In the winter I often go walking in Beacon State Park, on the north shore of the river. Last weekend I saw a few morels around the Cottonwoods. I am new to morels in the PNW so this surprised me. I am thinking I can access the shore and a medium sized stream in that location. Seemed very swampy with decaying matter in one area. Thanks for the tip!
@@TTS-TP Thanks for the tip!
Thanks again for the beautiful work you do. I'm off to immediately load up inaturalist.
Nice work Aaron! Just put another batch in the dehydrator myself. Under the Cottonwoods along the rivers.
Thanks Aaron, this is more great content :)
Thanks Aaron! I’ve been resistant to this app for some reason. Last year I tried to find Cottonwood related morels and it didn’t happen. Now I have a handy map for where to look. Cheers!
Dude you are on the morels!
Sweet finds!
Thank you for the informative video, much appreciated 😊
Morel came up way too early this year. They didn't get the humidity they needed because the cold kept the humidity down.
Thank you for teaching us soooo much! Love your videos! And our furry gurl Nutty has a crush on Gunner! 🤣
Great teaching! Thanks!
Thank you Aaron.
Cool! Nice work. Same habitat up here N. of you but I think it may be a bit warmer for you. Super vid. and thanks!
All this rain here in the midwest east. Things should start poppin when it warms some!
I am sooo excited! I just found my first Morels (1 lbs)! Had some extra time on my hands and I was in Delta, BC right next to the Fraser River. I also found my first Shaggy Mane mushrooms (2 lbs) and some Turkey Tail (1/3 lbs).
Shaggy was easy to see from the semi truck I drive; although I didn’t know what they were. I used a mushroom app to ID them.
They were all over the place! The Morels were found on an off shoot of the walking path away from the warehouse complex.
Another cool thing is I found some huge Ink Caps and some of the look alike Morels with the fuzzy stuff inside. So I found 5 in total and learned a lot today.
Thank you for your PNW specific content. I feel blessed to find and receive from Mother Earth these gifts.
*Mycopete.*
I learned a lot from this show thank you 👍😄😄
Sweet! Good eating tonight! Thank you!
I live in Spokane and went for the first time last weekend. No dice but I’m gonna keep lookin!
Very helpful... THANK YOU...
That was amazing!! Gives me hope, so I'll be heading back to the area where I found verpas a few weeks ago! Thanks for such an inspirational video, Aaron!
Thank you for your continued support!! ❤️🍄
Awesome find 😊👍 They look so yummy
Here in MI it's great mushroom hunting.
I've been hunting for over a week and no luck here in southern MI 😢
The cottonwood relation now makes sense. Used to be Elms. They are my favorite . Sautéed in butter, med high salt and garlic powder. Oh boy
Bro try this: chop 'em lengthwise, clean 'em, brine 'em, dehydrate 'em. In a pan on low heat, sautee some garlic in butter, mix in some cream cheese and put that in the "boat" of the morel. Kind of like a stuffed pepper. And eat them slow, the more you crunch the better they taste.

Awesome!
I've been waiting for a vid like this. Off the fly. New grounds. Explaining what to look for & trees... I was out this weekend upper skagit.. Got skunked.. but I'll be back out in a few days. 🤙 we found 2 bowl full around mulch @ my brother New house. Just built. We're wondering if the Mycelium traveled in the mulch... any who. Happy pickin'!✌
Man, all of April I wanted to go out and find morels, and either it was too dry or I was too busy. This weekend I should finally make it. I've seen them in the woods close to me in previous years, before I knew what I was doing so I never picked them then. So hopefully this year I'm eating some!
Watched this vid, and it inspired me to hit some cottonwoods near me. Found half free, woodland? And Verpa mushrooms, all within 50 feet of each other!!! 🎉
After some research it was a grey morel.
I gotta say. Your good!!
The problem in the Seattle area is lots of the cottonwood habitat is infested with blackberry bushes and it’s very hard to move through there
true, I look for places that already have walking trails. They can be found just growing trailside, most people walk right past them. Beware of dog pee though!
Black berry bush,the unofficial state plant,lol
Cysnescens grow like crazy under blackberry bushes so don’t avoid the blackberry bushes!
Get yourself some heavy clothes
Thanks for the inaturalist tip
Thank you for this video
I'm really excited to try this tip. Seems like if anyone would know it would be you
This is great news. I have ten acres with tons of cottonwood trees along the Cowlitz River. Really wish I could get out on my property but I'm currently dealing with healing from some toe amputation from diabetes. But I'm just going to mark on the calendar for next year. I'll be plenty healed by then. So thanks for the information. 😊
I’d love to pick them for ya😂 as long as you’d share
@Styx kind offer. However I don't know if my trees have them. I don't think I'll be able to walk the woods for about 1.5 to 2 months so this season will just have to wait. Just like my spring Chinook season, Argggg. But definitely something to look forward to for next year.
Great information! I found a handful of oyster mushrooms in NW Pennsylvania today. No morels yet as we have frost warning tonight. Happy foraging!
It’s been such a whacky year here in the Ohio valley, I’m afraid our season down here is already over… it started 2 weeks early with warmth then cooled off and they stopped, but then no rain for 20 days as it warmed back up but it jumped up to 80 for a full week… it’s been so dry AND the wind has been over 10mph almost every day… dry wind and 80 is not what morels want! It finally rained good here but immediately after the rain it dropped down to 28, frozen not just frost… no we had 3 days of highs around 50 and lows below freezing…
I found a few of those early ones but only a few… I think it’s been a full month now since I found those… it should restart if the weather straightens up but I’m not sure it will… we shall see…
If the weather keeps shifting and being so unpredictable then I legitimately worry that morel hunting will become nearly impossible, which may the least of my worries
@@swayback7375 Washington county Ohio here. I've been doing pretty decent for almost a week. Mainly popular or blondes. I haven't found any white yet. I'm guessing this weekend through the next 2 weeks should be good. Good luck out there! Be safe!
Thank you for sharing
attempted this out in Carnation where there are black cottonwoods everywhere and found zip nada but had a nice walk lol
That was fun. Now I got the fever
I’m in southwest Missouri Ozarks.
How's it going I'm from Washington and would like to find some of these in an attempt to make a spore slurry to pour around in my yard hopefully to get a patch to start
Nice gig 👍 bucko thanks 😊 👍 🙏 😀 👌 🙂 😊 👍 🙏 😀 👌 🙂 bloke
Thank you
The first morel had a used syringe right next to it. You did mention that it was a homeless camp. Always be careful in urban areas to watch where you grab.
That's the truth. I couldn't believe he was coming down here to find morals. In April 2011, I found tons of them at an apartment complex in Kent.
PLEASE ANYONE!!!! Where can I find them in middle Georgia? I'm from Illinois where their plentiful, but had no luck searching here in the south, any help or info will be GREATLY APPRECIATED
@4.35 mushroom in hand go directly behind the way the mshrm is facing,so back and slightly to the left,but on the right of the thickest green stock just behind that green stock,theres a tip of a morral poking up behind that leaf, I know thats a terrible description sorry, but there is one there
oyster mushrooms are associated with maple but not too many others
Yeah, they are saprotrophic. So the oyster mushrooms eat the dead maple, but they don't live in symbiosis with it, in mycorrhiza.
I certainly hope you traveled well-heeled in that particular "habitat" Aaron! 😂 Episode needs a disclaimer that: "Mushroom hunting can be hazardous to your health." Mentioning the homeless encampments probably made that point more subtlety though.
How do you find out where there has been a forest fire at one time
Do they have to be near rivers or can you find them in most cottonwood areas? We have lots of cottonwood trees around me.
I have looked around other cottonwoods that are not near riverbeds, and I have not had good luck. I think it has something to do with the sandy soil, and concentration of nutrients near the edges of the rivers. But I could be wrong there. I seem to definitely have best luck in mature cottonwood groves along riverbanks.
don't confuse it with a false morel. if you pick it and the stem isn't hollow don't eat it
Great idea, time to misidentify tree's to throw people off my Morels 😉
When would you not eat a morel from a certain area meaning like along road way or somewhere where they may be toxins?
It's really at your personal discretion, if my spidey senses tell me it's unwise and I just won't eat them. But if it's pretty clear that they're far enough from road drainage and whatnot, I go ahead and eat them. I don't know of any cases of people being sick from eating infected mushrooms, but they are known to bioaccumulate heavy metals. If I suspect there are heavy fertilizers or the like being used I would avoid eating them. If they're growing off of organic matter, even within a cosmopolitan setting, and there's no sign of contamination, I typically feel like it's safe as long as you're not eating them by the pound year after year.
Cool. A different kinda fungal education. Much appreciated Arron ! P.S. Have you covered how exactly to locate previous forest fires. I tried with google maps, but it didn't help.
Last year I did touch on it in a burn morel video, But it would probably be a good idea to make a new one! Thanks for the idea. Mush Love 🍄❤️
@@mushroomwonderland1 Awesome ! Thanks Arron. Awesome videos as always.
@@speakthetruth110 thank you🍄🤙
Does the app work for Europe too ? 😢
Using your advice I found cotton wood trees next to a river and found 3 species of Morels!
Verpa Conica (bell morel) Blonde Morel and Another standard looking/woodland morel/true morel?
I posted the general location if anyone in Western WA is interested (Inaturalist)
We call the Half Free Morels.....Pecker Heads😛
I just downloaded the App. I hope my daughter and me find some!
We've found maitake growing at the base of maple
Cool! Yeah they're saprotrophic, and maple is a good mushroom food, but the tree is not a good host for the symbiosis involved in mycorrhiza. 🍄❤️
I know the answer to my question but some people are unsure. Are Half Free Morels Choice?
I would say yes.
Good Morning, I have those morel mushrooms growing in on the edge of my garden beds I created in the fall. I created tillless garden beds and put wood chips between the beds as walking rows. I wasn't sure what type of mushrooms they were and I was killing them cause I wasn't sure if they were poisonous and didn't want my dog to eat them. So you're saying they are edible? I think in the video you said you were in Washington when you were looking for those cottonwoods. I live in Southwest Washington
they are one of the most sought after mushrooms, but make sure you have the right thing, do some research
@@colinkutz5930 can I send a picture somewhere?
The ones you're finding in your garden are probably what are referred to as "landscape morels,' Morchella importuna. It's saprophic, and fairly common, but less predictable because it doesn't need trees to have any association with. It often grows in beauty bark, disturbed gravel, edges of lawns and such. Very good edible. A good test is to cut it down the center, if it's one continuous cavity from the stem through the cap it's a safe morel.
When do you stop looking for morels? I only started this year looking for them.
Never! I look while I'm driving🤣 but mid June in Washington is usually the end of the season. They're spring mushrooms.
@@mushroomwonderland1 oh ok is there a way of knowing when they are done growing? I live in Missouri so the weather is different from here to Washington.
@@Rubo7 I would suggest following local Facebook mushroom identification groups and stuff in your area. That's a good way to get a feel for what's growing out there and what's not.
@@mushroomwonderland1 thank you for your tips. 👍
What mushroom associates with mahogany
I'm really not sure, it's not a tree native to the PNW so I don't know. A simple Google search would probably reveal a bunch of answers. I'll probably search that myself when I get a minute!
i already tried inaturalist but unfortunately not many people use this app here in germany and the nearest places where people found morels according to inaturalist are still far away
I would love to come mushroom picking in Germany someday! 🍄🤙
@@mushroomwonderland1 yea but then come during september / october thats the best time to find wild mushrooms here. i live near the black forest in germany and have found some big patches of winter chanterelles, false saffron milk caps, penny buns (boletus edulis) we call them steinpilz in germany, russulas and more. but during winter and spring the forest is quite empty. i found a few oyster mushrooms on some beech trees and wood ear mushrooms on elder trees in the winter but not much else
@@yoshtg My friend in the mycological Society is from Germany, she says that the climate is a lot like here, but they have a lot of oak and deciduous tree out there where we have mostly evergreen here in Western Washington. Autumn is definitely our biggest mushroom season as well, but there is a fair spring season here, that includes morels. We never see morels in the fall, strictly in the spring.
@@mushroomwonderland1 yea i never saw morels in the fall here either, i was talking about the other mushrooms like milk caps, boletus, russula, chanterelles etc. are common in fall. the only time i found morels myself was 2 weeks ago in a small 4m² patch between road and sidewalk in my city. despite me looking throughout the forest for days and days i only was able to find them in the city. the morels seem to like it more in the urban region here for some reason. i still cant believe that i couldnt find a single morel in the meadows and forests outside the city, not even false morels
Where are you located????? This is very localized info
This is Western Washington
Try them fried in butter unbreaded, salt, then cut them into smaller pieces and eat them on garlic buttered club crackers. Dayum.
And for my next trick I put down the wrong location intentionally to cause havoc
Couldn't you also just search for morels instead of cottonwoods? Then it will also have the date the picture was posted so you know what time of the year to look there for them. Like where I live next month is the best time to start looking for them.
Yeah you could also do that, but that's kind of cheating in my book, lol. I feel like it's more honest of an actual find when you just look for the trees and then find your own patch.
@@mushroomwonderland1 I live next to about 20 lakes connected by rivers and some of the shores are covered in cottonwood. I already know a few good spots for collecting and I get plenty. Not sharing my spots tho.
Using the dates when people post the pictures is a good way for new people to know when to go out and look in the areas.
I also like going to places that recently had forest fires. There was a large fire last year in one of my favorite foraging spots, can't wait until next month.
8:45 Japanese knotweed?
It's typical to find the fake 1s im very wet areas the Real Morels like well drained areas..# I'mthe Mushroommaster
You're the mushroom master?
Is your dog finding those for you? It looks the dog is pointing them out.
I haven’t found a single morel yet 😢
Keep looking! Seriously, follow the directions in this video and you will find some! There are plenty of public parks along the rivers, You don't need to trespass. Find where the cottonwoods are and go for a nice walk!
@@mushroomwonderland1 I’m not gonna give up! I’ve found other mushrooms just no morels yet, and this is my first year of actually trying to find them so I’m not too bothered
At least in Minnesota, the Half Free Morels are poisonous.
Your cellphone is not going to tell you where they are at you have to spot them with your own eyes.
You are correct.
Music while you are talking = can't hear you 😭 why...
That's too bad, most videos have music in the background, nobody else had issue with it. Maybe the closed captioning can help?
Half-Free=Peckerhead
To clarify - verpa are not morchella species.
No verpas were found in this video, but they are in the same family, Morchellacae.
@@mushroomwonderland1 I'm sorry, you mentioned verpa. They are *not* morchella species. Verpa is a species of it's own.
@@mushroomwonderland1 to clarify, I'm speaking of morchella not morchellacae - wrinkles on verpa, not pits as in morchella
@@FlyingMonkeysCR very true! 🍄❤️
You should seriously have a caution about private land. I have been arrested for hunting morels on private land that had been OK'ed in the past.. Just a caveat about respecting sustainable harvest and respecting private lands is what I am asking. Investigate, and ask permission, get to know the landowners. Even public lands can have restrictions.
Oh wow, I kind of felt like that went without saying. Of course don't trespass, it's against the law. I shouldn't have to remind people about that. 🤔
I don't think reasonable people will interpret this video to be encouraging trespassing. The iNaturalist map even includes color coding to make it easy to identify public parks.
@@mushroomwonderland1 I edited by previous comment. I'm not saying you are encouraging trespassing by any means, just that when as a creator, be cautious about the tools and methods you present.
❤😊❤❤L

That's not useing your phone to find mushrooms!!
1st
I can't bring myself to eat em. They smell so horrible lol
😆
I take donations 😏
I haven't been able to go for the last two years d/t a very bad Trimalleolar fracture, finally starting to walk but still recouping after I needed a second surgery. I can't remember a year that I missed mushroom season before.
Just found your video and love it. Initially I thought you were leaving the morels behind after you found them. Was so relieved to see you carrying the onion bag.
Loved your video, but wish you touched on the need for:
*Bug spray and long pants, socks, etc.
*Onion or mesh bag to allow spores to escape
*Permission to be on owners land
Sharing your video with others, even though I'm from N. Central USA
@RN4Veterans what does any of that have to do with the video? Should he also make sure to tell people that they need to buckle up on the ride over? What about making sure they have a valid driver's license before driving to go picking mushrooms?
Poor people need those mushrooms! Now we got celebrities stealing them for fun and making video content.
Not sure what you mean.
Not even the first five ten seconds in the video and here goes the first ad get a job
RUclips will run the ads regardless. It has nothing to do with me. Creators have no say in how often or what commercials play. You can go to Patreon and watch the whole thing ad free! Sorry bout it!
It is my fault, I said too much. Now the aggressive Peninsulavanians have invaded peace loving Puyallup for our mushroom resources. I call on the U.S. Government to send us trillions of money and arms to defend ourselves.
Good video but be careful, last shot gave your location away. All in good fun.
I'm not scared if people knowing where my spots are, because there's always more and it's the thrill of the hunt! Once you can identify habitat the world is your oyster (mushroom). 😆😆 Mush love🍄❤️
Dumb question from a Newby. Is the half Morrell still edible?
AKA Early morel (Verpa bohemica).
Yes they are edible, but cook thoroughly, and don't over-indulge. They can cause poisoning symptoms in sensitive individuals, including GI distress and lack of muscular coordination. Avoid alcohol with them, just as you should with true morels. Actually, it's a good rule of thumb to avoid alcohol whenever consuming a species you've never tried before, and always consume only a small amount of any mushroom that's new to you. Even chanterelles can cause GI upset in some individuals.
JUST DON'T TELL PEOPLE YOUR SPOTS
