- This is a way to keep your Morel patch fresh and rejuvenated with Moerel spores. The ground or the Mycelium Might not want or need these spores every year. But when they do youll have your Morel producing groud primed up and ready for that Morel Flush of your deams. Collect your Morel seeds (spores) during, after and beyond the actual harvest. A mesh bag dont cut the cheese in anyway. Do better, do more this is one way to do it. look forward to better and morel effective way of collecting and dispersing spores for the Morel community! Let Me know. THANKS!

Morel mushrooms are part of the ascomycete family, otherwise known as spore shooters. They shoot the spores out like tiny cannons. It's really cool to see. There are some videos out there that show it really well. Wind and rain will help with the dispersal, but the majority of the Spore dispersal is done by the mushroom itself
I'll look into it Joe, what I have seen looks like they have alot of a air movement around them. The videos you've seen, are they in the wild? What causes them to shoot out? Thanks Joe.
WOW! NEVER KNEW THEY POPPED SPORES THAT LATE.
MAKES ME NOT WANT TO PICK SMALL, YOUNG MORELS.
ALSO DIDNT KNOW THEIR SPORES WERE YELLOW LIKE POLLEN!
THAT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
Well I see'm I pick'm. But yeah doing the work here. I think morel community has been feeding each other abunch of hear say monkey see monkey do bull crap for to long with knowbody having proof of anything. The morel season is so short only so much time its hard to do any research and fact checking. Yeah do young morels make spores???? Lot of experiments coming!!! I'm gona force people to ask and solve true facts about morels. Takes years, morel season is only so long, only so much time. Sometimes the don't even pop in your area. 99 percent change it can happen to me this year and don't find any. Year's man years!
This channel is definitely original
Tanks!
What's up brother im in Stillwater ok and we are super dry and I've still found about 30 little greys in the last couple walks so they are on their way
Good to hear. Thanks for the update Jake. Do a rain dance man.🤞all day drizzle. See ya
I have noticed a couple morels on the trails in and out of the woods where i walk in and out but it’s only been a handful through the 20 years I’ve hunted them. As well as it’s always just a random one. Could be coincidence or just had the perfect spot to grow. I’m interested in trying your methods for putting spores back and going to try it this year. Do you distribute them while it’s still season?
Spore blocks anytime. But Spore slip, just because thats water based I wouldn't spread during hard freezing. THANKS
But no I don't belive it needs to be during morel season.
@@johnnyfish6051 awesome thank you for the info. Did you have a full video explaining the spore blocks? I seen one and didn’t see an ingredient list but I’m going to rewatch it again. I think what I didn’t catch was the white powder that looked like flour.
@@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa yes their is a full vid .yep just flower. Flour and water make a very natural and simple bond or glue.
@@johnnyfish6051 ok I’ll try and find it again here in a bit. I went through quite a few of your shrooming vids recently. I enjoy the hunts!
I have on the very trail from using mesh bags
Johnny SporeSeed.😁
Yes folklore, I'll live on forever.
What are you doing with the spore print in the water bottles at the end?
Making SPORE SLIP. Its morel seed and water. Go squirt it in the woods and grow Morel Mushrooms!
Would have cloned as well just for the hell of it.
This mushrooms don't last or grow for 4 weeks or 3 weeks ! I have grown them in my yard and photograph them. They will only grow 4 to 6 days ! And not all but many of mine will be close to the size of a beer can at most ! Most 1!2 that size
They can live 4 weeks easily.
@JohnnyFish like I said 5 maybe 6 days max outdoors. I just picked one I've been watching for 6 days. Started drying out
@Matthew B Sorry to hear that. But your calling me out on my knowledge and information. You are wrong, morels commonly remain viable for three and four weeks. They got to have good conditions to do so, but it's very normal. Hope you have better luck.
Just because that one only lived 6 days doesn't mean every morel lives 6 days.... I've photographed them for several weeks @@matthewb3640
NEXT TIME, PROP UP THE MOREL ON THE PAPER WITH A TRI POD OF TOOTHPICKS & SPRAY OR MIST IT WITH WATER!
MAYBE THAT MIGHT HELP...
Lots to be done! Thank so much for your support!
your mis information is ridiculously wrong, and harmful to the mushroom community. No offense, i recommend you take your passion to a mycology seminar and do some studies. Spores from mushrooms infact spead primarily through winds. That's why mesh bags are important. Studies have shown spores traveling hundreds of miles in the rite jet stream. Water very minutely spreads any spores. When the morel or any species is elevated in the mesh bag it gives the spores a greater chance to catch flight while each mushroom is releasing million of spores per day. The reason people use a spores mash is to take and give said spores a jump start, but its not just mixing it with water, you need to sterilize said contain add a nutrient base (like molasses)and an antibacterial(like salt) because one wrong bacteria can destroy the entire batch. Wait 3 or 5 days for the culture to form to the naked eye and the disperse in a controlled environment. All your doing is what a left behind morel would already does. meaning take a mushroom to area of choice rub it against the bark and in sense thats all your doing. Your waisting your time and others. So your " next level spore spreading" is avarage at best. You are good at finding morels, now if you up you're mycology youll be able to help others a great deal more. Again no offense.
You're a sheep spitting baabaabaa! Do you think you're smart!? Half the people who hunt morel or watch my channel already know the information you wasted your time splurging out your slobbering mouth. Old news. You think I don't understand the purpose of a mesh bag? I got more common sense in my pinky nail than you and your DNA have had for generations! I do not culture mycelium! I do not need any sorce of sugars to feed my RAW Morel spores. The "contamination"you think you understand occurs when you try to grow mycelium from spores in a controlled environment on an agar plate or maybe onto soil in a cool whip bowl but instead start growing black mold or Pincushion moss if you get lucky you find a cure for cancer! You gota go way out of your WAY to kill any mushroom spore. Do you understand the viability of spore? Ninety-five percent of any mushroom I pick come ten feet from the edge of row crop fields that have been sprayed with fungicide for the past thirty years,every year. Yet magically.....boom more Morels in my bucket than you see in your dreams. Better check what you read and think a little deeper. A Morel is made up of hundreds of cups. Cups that rain water splatters in and disperses the spores, da! Morels are moist, and every morning, theirs wet dew on them? Hard for a wet spore to make it to the moon. Your backwards 10% wind 90% water. That's what my hands-on experience and my own research tells me. Them moist spores fall immediately to the ground and are gobbled up by rapidly growing spring vegetation sheltered from the wind. Some taken by wind......later to be dispersed by.....WATER leaching through the soil. Hmm, you think you know ya know?
My spore slip. I make spore prints on paper. What's the best way to return those spores to the woods and put them in what I already know is prime morel producing ground to increase the odds for morel production. Well, I cut the spore covered paper into narrow strips and put them in containers and fill the container with natural water. This makes spore slip. Water slip...it's a thing! This mixture is done on the day of dispersal. I don't have bottles of spore slip sitting around my house for days ,months or years. That would obviously kill the spores. I am returning those spores to specific ground that I already know! produce annually and to a host tree that is live producing Eg sycamore,ash,cottonwood. I'm overwhelming that prime ground with spores, increasing my odds of returning next year to pick a bucket full of morels. You can be mad all you want that I'm trying to capture spores and return to my area and intensify my situation and not showing them to the wind for you. But I'm letting people know that there is a way to increase your morel prodution. A simple way and so simple, don't confuse it, dude. I'm picking morels that have already dropped spore, taking them home collecting more spore WHILE still eating a wonderful dehydrated morel. Is that's not the definition of sustainability.
Your mad I use a bucket. I'm gona be straight up with you! I made $6800.00 last year selling morel. I didn't travel more than 30 miles from my home I spent maybe 80 hrs total on that. Life's good I have four children, three I'm still raising. By myself by the way. Girls! You think I'm gona put them morels in a mesh bag and take a chance damaging them?...... no.
My methods are not intended to cultivate mycelium. It puts spore on the ground right where you want them. Your up the wrong tree.
@johnnyfish6051 wow, more intelligent conversation 😃. Thankyou for proving my point. Tell you what, do even just a simple google search on how spores are spread, nobody is argueing your water bottle isnt spreading spores in you enriched grounds, im argueing your basic understanding and the statements that come out your mouth are diarrhea. See how your first shroom that produced a good deal of spores is a 1/2 inch or so away thats cause your mushroom actually ejected it and when the water evaporates it carries them into the air through vapors where they are dispersed. And please dont talk about agar plates your making yourself look worse.
WHAT IS THAT PAPER YOU USE?
AHhh......its standard black paper from my 10 year old art scraps tub, that's full of dried water colors cause she can put the lid on and 17 Elmer's glue sticks with no lids and two rolls of scotch tape unrolled and crushed up like a spider web also I think theirs 8 pound on glitter in the bottom. So yeah from the looks of were I got that black paper that might just be mold and not spores.
