@@alloverthelake6396 Definitely try to get them early as they can get pretty buggy, but they're tasty! I'm in Missouri. It's been super dry in my county, but found 2 dozen in the last week so no complaints 😁🍄
@@alloverthelake6396 yes, I usually do pretty well but I don't find huge mother loads like some of the people I see on RUclips. I put in a lot of work and check hundreds of spots, usually finding anywhere from 1 to maybe 10 at each spot typically. I have a couple of spots that are dead elm trees that will yield me 20 or 30. I spend the winter time scouting out new spots and I have found a lot of good spots this winter, so still hoping for a big motherload. Here in Southern Ontario, I don't typically find many black morels. Going to try a little harder this year to find some
The black morels are in Colorado I know. I don't really find them, mostly grey and yellow. I'm really excited about this season. My fishing videos don't get more than 2k views typically. When I had 4 mushroom videos hit 10k last spring it was pretty cool. It's disappointing when you put 2 hours into editing a video and 50 people watch it. I had made like 3 or 4 other morel videos in the past with like 200 views. It's cool to bring people along on my adventures.
@@alloverthelake6396 yeah, I'm sure it takes quite a lot of time for content to get out there. I started on Instagram last May just posting identification on plants and mushrooms and their uses and it took months for me to get any followers. Started picking up a bit lately though. But that's nothing compared to the amount of work that you have to do to make a video and edit it and all of that stuff! Best of luck with your videos my friend! I'll be sure to check them out. I do a lot of fishing as well. I was out catching some brown trout today!
I've never caught a brown before, awesome! I'm excited to see my views this mushroom season. My Channel doubled last spring so I'm hoping to possibly do it again.
I lived in Kentucky for a couple of years. My first spring over there, one of my friends asked me if I wanted to go look for “dryland fish.” I had no idea what the hell he was talking about and told him that I would pass. Later that day when he came by my house and showed me these “dryland fish” they were morels. Lol! Apparently people over there call them that.
I've heard them called that before but not often. What ever name you want to call them, they are absolutely wonderful 😊 Thanks for watching our video 👍📸
Ok. I have been hunting shrooms for 40 years and we NEVER disrupt the stem of the mushroom. We always cut them at the ground. Never pull them as we were taught it disrupts the mycelium! This is why you get fewer and fewer shrooms in your best spots apparently. Need to research this because it kills me to watch them being pulled out rather than cut at the ground. No disrespect Intended. You have amazing a grooming spots and what a great thing that Zack gets to experience this with you. As an adult he will now take his kids! Thanks for the video
Not many furry boogers in your woods evidently? It's a real challenge finding good patches in the mountains of central Pennsylvania because the boogers are always around. 🤫
Nice Haul, the soil must be warm down there it's not that warm here in Michigan yet the mycelium mycorrhizal Network is not very active yet here in Michigan temperatures have been too cold this might be the week that things start to fruit we barely have leaves on the trees or the understory so we are definitely behind you guys probably by at least 3 weeks usually when we harvest we cut the mushrooms trying not to disturb the mycelial network. Great job super impressive Aloha from the Great Lakes
please do more research. It has been quite established that whether you cut, pull, or pinch off makes no difference. The morel is a fruit of the mycelium, as an apple is to a tree.
I don't know my trees really well. I find them by many types and even in open grass. The large groups tend to be near larger dead tree's. That's why they are so fun. You never know where they can be. I've found them growing out of rocks and concrete
@@alloverthelake6396 very true! They do pop up in some weird places! For me here in Southern Ontario Canada, I tend to find them near big old apple trees, in Grass near big old Spruce or pine trees, near dead elm trees and even Maple and Beech Sugarbush. Whatever you are doing, it seems to be working! Keep up the great work and hope you have a great season
@@alloverthelake6396 whereabouts are you located? Here in Southern Ontario, I have found them starting on April 25th for the last 2 years, but the last couple years were not great. Last year was dry until mid-may and then we got an okay bloom. Typically, the first week in May until the last week in May are the best here. I'm going crazy waiting for the morels! I teach foraging classes here and I can't wait for it to start up again!
Man did you guys slam the shrooms!!!1 problem yall pulled a lot instead of pick. Will turn great mushroom spot into a dead one. But great find and awesome to see the little ones out there slamming them god job guys!!!!
The mushrooms on the log over the creek appeared to be Turkey Tail mushrooms . Look them up , the underside has pores , could be a look alike . Medicinal mushrooms. Great day mushroom hunting !
I am also a morel mushroom hunter have been for 30 years and I have never found them like this. Amazing find! This has been my worst year have been 6 times and covered 20 miles of land. Only finding small ones and less than 300 total this year. Very very bad year. Only 1 question, what state are you finding these in, please!
I'm in Missouri I'm 10 minutes away from Kansas City in independence. Sorry you are having a ruff season. I've had some people tell me they've only found 7. Sounds like you are doing better than some people. 👍😊🍄 Thanks for watching our video 😆
Where are you located? They typically take a couple weeks to get that size. I find little one's the first week, medium one's the second week, and big one's at the end of the season. 🍄😃
They grow pretty good here around Kansas City. I'd love to go find them in other states! I've never found the black one's that I know grow in Colorado.
I found bags of what look like dried morels though these appear much smaller than even the smallest one's I've seen and rehydration doesn't make them much bigger. Otherwise they look just like morels on the outside and are hollow on the inside. Dried and uncooked these things have a rather overpowering odor. The packaging is all asian writing I can't read. Does anyone have an idea of what I have?
@@alloverthelake6396 okay 30 plus hours but it felt like 50😅 really quick and thank you for your time but what type of camera are you using because it focuses well whenever you're turning I really like the camera but it seems to have its limitations up close and I'm just curious what you were using?
I've read that it doesn't necessarily hurt it. The morel is the flower. It's not going to flower twice from the same spot. I do however try and cut them typically, until I get excited
@@alloverthelake6396 You are right, but I always cut them. Some say that the mycelium being disturbed actually causes it to produce more fruit (Morels).
What a great haul!! 🍄 I would love to find that many! The mushrooms you found under the bark @13:15 were oysters and they are edible.
I thought they were oyster mushrooms but I've never had any! Thanks 👍 where are you located? Has your season started yet?
@@alloverthelake6396 Definitely try to get them early as they can get pretty buggy, but they're tasty! I'm in Missouri. It's been super dry in my county, but found 2 dozen in the last week so no complaints 😁🍄
Northern middle or southern Missouri? We are in Independence next to Kansas City.
@@alloverthelake6396 Northern. I'm not far from KC
I've found plenty around Smithville Lake if that is close to you
Great finds! Man I can't wait for mushroom season! I'm going through mushroom withdrawal LOL
I know! I'm so excited for this spring. Do you typically find quite a few?

It's unfortunate that you like everyone else miss so many 😊.
It's good to let a couple spore out
I don't think the furry creatures eat them here. I don't see any eaten except for bugs

I cut them too at times. Later in the season I start to get lazy. I think I've picked too many!

I get so excited I stop cutting them sometimes. Thanks for watching 👍
Been finding them sideways on the creek banks! Great video!
It's fun walking down the creek in boots and finding them on the edge
Thanks for watching our video 📸👍🔥
The mushrooms on the log over the creek appeared to be Turkey Tail mushrooms . Look them up , the underside has pores , could be a look alike . Medicinal mushrooms. Great day mushroom hunting !
Thanks for watching and thanks for the information.👍🍄😁
We are just starting to pop up in Michigan. 9 may!!!
Oh, wonderful 🙂! They are probably done here. 90 degrees all week.they will be leather by the end of the day today. I hope you find a bunch!
I got excited along with you !
Awesome! Thanks for watching our video 👍📸🍄😁

Did my first hunt😁 Made a hunt prep cook video😉 It was so much fun

I fish Smithville all the time. Didn't know there are morel there lol.
Yeah! Lot's of morels around Smithville Lake 👍
What a crazy haul!
It was! Thanks for watching our video 👍📸🍄
Hen of the forest it's actually a pretty good mushroom it grows on the side of fallen trees next to creeks
Thanks 👍🙂
Wow that's about 50 hours worth of work I put in and you scored more one go
You mean 50 hour's of walking in the woods?

I'm just using a go pro hero 8
Found my first bunch this week!!
Fantastic 😊🍄👍
How many did you get?
way more than one, I think : )
Lol 🤣😆🤣 yes! You are correct 😁
Those are Stereum spp. Medicinal similar to turkey tail, but not edible. They are far too tough to chew.
Thanks for information 🙂👍🍄
@@alloverthelake6396 Are you on instagram?
No I'm not. I am as Matthew Wilson but I never use it. I should. At some point I'll try more to promote the channel

Turkey tails
Thanks
86 mushrooms
That's a good number
leave some for others too eh lol
But I like picking them 😁
❤❤คุณเก็ดเห็ดได้สุดยอดฟิล์มมาก
Thanks for watching
I like turtles
They make good soup 😋🍲 lol We use to have like 5 pet turtle's 🐢
Do not ever just pull those out, cut them off at the ground with a knife, don't disturb the mycelium.
