This video's a breath of fresh air compared to all the other ones I've watched. I really appreciate the no-BS approach, the "here's what I do but something else might work better for you" philosophy, and especially the wealth of actual INFORMATION! Thanks a lot.
This channel should have a 1 million subscribers......always informative and honest.....things are explained thoroughly! I appreciate yalls hard work......Central pa. Here!
Please make more of these foraging videos as it will get more people involved with what's around us. I enjoyed the way you are teaching and showing your surroundings.
Love your videos! Thank you! My husband & I have been searching for 3 years & finally we hit the big one last year right off the side of a dirt road. I was so excited that I squealed out loud & my husband scolded me & said “Shhhhhhhh…….you’re going to give our spot away!!!” We ended up finding 50 morels!! Can’t wait for next season! Thanks again & God bless!
This will be my first year morel hunting this spring, I started mushroom hunting last august and I fell in love, thanks for making this video, can’t wait to put this new knowledge to use!
Awesome video man! Great content and really approachable for anyone that's never hunted morels to see exactly what you're looking for. As some others have mentioned really appreciate that openness to share info and no nonsense approach 🙌🙏🍄
My father in law hunted morels in IN and MI for 70 years, even after moving neat Ft. Worth. In the 70's he found out they grew profusely under junipers (cedars) at a nearby dam on a big area lake in early April. We hunted it for years. One day we found about a 2k sq ft clearing in the heavy cedar cover. There were probably a thousand whites from fist size to thumb size. We had a 200 acre wood we leased in central OK where we'd drive three hours four or five times in early April where we'd pick bushels a day. We always carried sticks to stir the area around the mushroom(s) to check for copperheads before reaching in to pick. I bet we spent more hours cleaning them than hunting them. Over 30 years we never had a bad day in OK. Nothing much much better.
Thanks John Excellent educational segment , I’ve never hunted morel but I’ve eaten them a few times fried . And I was amazed at the fantastically delicious taste ! 👍
I used to take my 2 year old with me and he found them fast!! Eyes closer to the ground. LOL Carry a stick and watch where you step. Once you've seen one the rest just start popping up everywhere. Ohh, the thrill.
Not too many people are willing to give up their secrets. Thank you. I been walking around the woods the past few days and so far haven’t seen anything. I feel like your tips will definitely help.
I'm new to the mushroom hunting gang, so I've been trying to watch educational videos on how to find them. And seeing someone also in PA finding a bunch gives me hope! Thank you so much for this video and I hope to find some morels when i go foraging later today!
I’m in the Dayton Ohio area, I’ve recently been sneaking out looking with no luck... I’m a noob at shroom hunting but these videos are extremely helpful.
Per what you mentioned in your video, you DID in fact inspire me to go out morel hunting. It's a bit cold here yet I think, it just snowed 3 days ago and there's no tree buds yet (even though it's almost may!!!) but I WILL be going hunting. Thanks for the vid
Growing up my dad and I picked morels that grew on our property.. I remember picking hundreds and hundreds of them. We had so many we even fed them to our pigs! They went absolutely nuts for them! Of course there wasn't a market for them then like there is today, but I can't help wishing we still had that land.. Our pigs probably ate 6 figures worth of morels over the years lol
I happened to stumble across this video but man you’re amazing thank you so much for the tips and tricks, through this I have been able to put 2 and 2 together, I never knew they mostly grew around dead elm trees but it all makes sense now🤯😁
Thank you bro. I’m new to morel hunting last year being my first year so something good came from COVID-19. Due to layoff I had time to go out everyday. I live in southwest Pa and was able to apply your teaching and did very well. I have been out on recon the last couple weeks and I’m looking forward to treasure hunting big time shortly.
You are amazing. And. So generous with your knowledge. Thanks so much. You are doing great. Don’t worry about the criticism from others. Your the morel man !
Thinly slice Pheasant Back, dehydrate and powder them. Use this powder as an additional seasoning to add to your usual seasoning on any meat and poultry. Delicious.
Thank you for this video! I am determined to go mushroom hunting this year and had no idea where to start but thanks to you, now I do! I had one single morel mushroom 🍄 over 20 years ago and I remember is being one of the most delicious shrooms I've ever had but no one will go find any for me so this year I'm gonna get them myself!!
I noticed the mayapples are up where you're looking the ginseng should be to. I never go mushroom hunting until the jack-in-the-pulpits are up. Those big Rusty orange ones that you showed at the beginning of your video I don't pick them they usually fall apart on me before I get to the house. And I never use plastic bags I use onion bags, or potato bags that away the bugs and spores can fall out while I'm walking through the woods. You're right about the slippery elm trees we find them abundantly in my area with mushrooms also the red Elms never find them around the yellow elms. We also find them in the heavy Sycamore leaves. Believe it or not even around the pine trees. Especially under apple trees for some reason. Hope everyone has a nice day happy Hunting. Remember do not forget to ask permission before you go into people's Woods. Nothing I hate more is when myself and friends I invite to go mushroom hunting in my Woods run into other people that I do not know that pisses me off
And another one right there!!! You make me want to get in my car right now and go hunt even tho I feel its too early!! Morels are so unpredictable but It doesn't hurt to go out early!! Happy hunting everyone!!
That's the spirit! My dad always said "it's not about you find or get, it's about how the day was spent." And a day in the woods is a damn good day. Cheers friend! :)
Hello my friend! Just started watching your channel, seen some one share your page on facebook! Im in south central PA blair county area. Love your videos and cant wait to learn more, thanks for the info!!
Thanks John, this is an amazing video. Such great details like the specifics of one way to pick them. I love your attitude of "do what you want" and don't get bogged down with people telling you what you should do. Really appreciate this video as a new morel hunter myself!
The morels here (secret Oklahoma location of course) show up when the Red Buds bloom and after the first 70F day. Under the Eastern Red Cedar tree is what they like best! We always compete with deer and cattle so can never leave one once u find it. Pill bugs will decimate them as well.
Iv'e noticed the newer the dead elm is, the farther out the Morels seam to grow. Then the older trees seem to have them around the base more often. Maybe it is because the mycilium is feeding off the smaller roots of the trees that haven't been dead as long. I honestly don't know just something i observed on our property.
Dude chicken of the woods is great. I found some camping one time and just recently I found them at the park one block away from my house. Lucky as hell😂
Been hunting morels in the Pacific Northwest for years...the biggest challenge is your eyes adjusting so you can see them...you can be right in the middle of a patch and not see them...they blend in with the forest floor like you wouldn't believe...I stare at an area for awhile before moving on.
I'm going to start to learn how to find wild mushrooms. Looks like a ton of fun and I love mushrooms so why not right? Do you know why they use that special bag and not just say a plastic grocery bag or something like that? Thanks!
cupofjoe2988 You should! It’s a lot of fun and I find it meditative. There is a theory out there that if you use a mesh bag it will allow the mushrooms to continue to drop their spores while you’re walking through the woods, thus hopefully ensuring future harvests. I like to use a basket or a mesh bag just in case but a lot of experts say that by the time you’ve harvested them they have already released most if not all of their spores.
@@krswan72 Thanks! Are there any other pieces of gear you would recommend other than the bag? I need to read up and study before I go out and eat something poisonous of course hahaha
cupofjoe2988 I would get a good knife for sure, a good mushroom guide, (The National Audubon Society field guide to mushrooms is a good general one, I’d also recommend getting one that’s more specific to your region/state) and also some kind of tick repellant. Also check to see if your state has a Mycological Society you can join. I’m in Missouri and follow Missouri’s Mycological Society on Facebook and they are a priceless source of information.
Oh also check out Learn Your Land here on RUclips. Adam is incredibly knowledgeable and has many many videos on different mushrooms and other wild edibles.
I LOVE that bag you have. Nice. I ne on those. I leave the mushroom base behind too. Where I'm from, if you dont grab them, when you find them, they wont be there when you come back., The deer and wild turkeys will get them. I compete with wild turkeys more than people for the morels. Ive had them running around me with in a foot or two when I'm hunting/picking. To be fair, if I cant find any, I go find the turkeys and grab theirs. Also, I find more in old tall pine groves, and old abandoned apple orchards than anywhere else. But, I never made a point of checking slippery elms. But, it's also a different state than your in. My biggest and best morels grow in my back yard behind my garage. Yes, wild. If I deside to leave them because of mold, I break it up and scatter it around where I find them. Spreading the spores I guess.
I like your advice I find about 50 lbs a year and am trying to get better and I have learned from you I have different trees that I find them by but it's the principle The hills facing the east are my first spots then the south then west and not south next the flats lol My new saying is not every tree has a patch but every patch has a tree
Great video and nice hints too!! Thanks I have only found 3 so far this year and I'm still looking here in Virginia hopefully I'll find enough to pick and cook!! Yuummm. Thanks
It can also be useful to identify the botanical species around the area that morel's do grow and note the difference ecologically around the areas that morel's are not found. Some plants release chemicals which might be toxic to the micro rhizal structure of morel mushrooms and other plants contrarywise, some plants may have contributed to the nutritious fertility of the soil. Morels have a lot of mysterious characteristics that have yet to be discovered, which is one of the most interesting things I've found in foraging for them (and other fungi and plants).
I put small amounts of mushrooms I found last year in Ziploc bags in the freezer. I still have 1 bag there. When I get home from hunting, I cut them in half and soak them in salt water overnight. I rinse them and roll them in flour, then fry them in a skillet.
Great year for morels here in southern Ohio. I’ve noticed they grow a lot around dead or dying elm trees and even poplar. Most of ours came from banks on creek beds.
My wife and I were watching this on my phone while eating breakfast. When he said he wasn't going to harvest them right now, we both slowly looked at each other. Hahaha
Hey John. Love you videos. I've noticed under alot of the elm bark I find some morels their too. Not sure if you did look in between filming but I find them under bark on the ground too. Happy hunting!!
Good job bro hardest mushroom i ever hunted,get low and slow like barbecue, find one get down and crouch keep looking took me four years to find them in the wild!!!
so glad to have found your channel!! i found quite the honey hole last week here in Missouri! found a few hundred morels and boy i will never forget this year.
Awesome video, you inspired me to make a video on this as well, I've hunted,found, and ate these Morel Mushrooms for years. If you haven't tried a Morel Mushroom your missing out, nothing compares!! Theres a reason why these are considered the 4th most expensive mushroom in the world at around $250 dollars a pound in some areas! Thanks for making this, very informative video!!
I'm in Frederick county Maryland and they usually grow near Poplar trees here. I got about 50 just around our house this year. It was a good season. Great video. Thanks for sharing. You've gotten a new subscriber.
John, I agree pick them any way you want. There have Ben studies now proving that pulling mushrooms doesn't harm the patch. One thing I do recommend is covering the stumps left behind after picking the morels. This can greatly help prevent other hunters from finding your patches. Keep them stealthy private lol
HEY JOHN IM THE GUY THAT MET YOU AT PONDEROSA TODAY IN BUTLER WAS GREAT MEETING YOU AND TALKING TOYOU CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS AND HOW DO I GET A LWO HAT PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS JOHN YOUR A AWESOME GUY CANT WAIT TO HUNTING SEASON. THANKS SCOTT KUTCH
Hey Scott! Nice meeting you today! Glad you came up and said hi. As of right now, the only hats we have left are for giveaways for later this year. Our hat maker went out of business so we are not sure if or when we will get more hats made.
Hey bud I also live in pa. I been trying for years tried sooooo many tips. From different area’s and tree to look by but nothing working can you help in anyway?
What month and date do you pick? I pick around mothers day here in Michigan. I look in multiple directions in the same spot. Also I found some under a mulberry tree go figure.
Trust me I am always looking, sometimes to a fault. Like when I’m driving and I’m passing miles and miles of forest nearby house. I refer to that as Window shopping, when you see Mushroom’s from a moving car LOL
You have got that figured out pretty good man... Been watching and following for quite some time.... I found over 100 last spring, but most were in a old apple orchard..... I don't have quite the luck you do in the hardwoods... I'm gonna give the Elmo and tulip theory a shot this year.... Not the greatest at tree ID...... THANKS
We just bought property and the hubs and I are going to try our hand Morel hunting today! I hope it is not too late in the season (Michigan). We have about 17 acres of wooded area, so fingers crossed 🙌
Next time will you show a video where you cook mushrooms This is my first time watching you I really like your videos That's really cool you found a lot of mushrooms
Had a neighbor teach me to look up at trees and look under the ones where they are start dying at the top it has served me well.
This guy is awesome. Where I come from people don't give tips or share information about morels. Thank you for sharing.
it makes sense that people don’t talk about it, they’re rare
Same here in Missouri. Before my brother died he used to get so many. I moved to the city (st. Louis) and boy do I miss getting morels.
You must come from the same area....secret squirrel stuff
I find them deer hunt so try in season check areas saw durning hunting and never find them
Little different when you're sharing tips on the internet
This video's a breath of fresh air compared to all the other ones I've watched. I really appreciate the no-BS approach, the "here's what I do but something else might work better for you" philosophy, and especially the wealth of actual INFORMATION! Thanks a lot.
Tttt
What a pleasant video! Really nice guy. Willing to share info without being arrogant. I LOVED this video and the great information!! Thank you! ❤
This channel should have a 1 million subscribers......always informative and honest.....things are explained thoroughly!
I appreciate yalls hard work......Central pa. Here!
Thanks!
I second that..
Oh come on we want more videos with morels.. Please.!!!!
Please make more of these foraging videos as it will get more people involved with what's around us. I enjoyed the way you are teaching and showing your surroundings.
This is my first year, im still on a dry streak but i feel better after watching your video man thanks.
Sometimes it's all about location, I don't know any good sports that aren't private property.
Love your videos! Thank you! My husband & I have been searching for 3 years & finally we hit the big one last year right off the side of a dirt road. I was so excited that I squealed out loud & my husband scolded me & said “Shhhhhhhh…….you’re going to give our spot away!!!” We ended up finding 50 morels!! Can’t wait for next season! Thanks again & God bless!
This will be my first year morel hunting this spring, I started mushroom hunting last august and I fell in love, thanks for making this video, can’t wait to put this new knowledge to use!

I'll refer you to and online store where I got my own psychedelics and microdosing stuff very good reliable vendor
I get my psychedelics and microdosing stuff from an online store where I got my own his on Instagram and also on Telegram with the below handle
*Mycopete.*
They blend in so good you could walk right by loads of them
I just did my first hunt and did a video...so much fun!!
I'm chomping at the bit to get out in the woods this spring. Thanks for the tips!

Excellent educational segment , I’ve never hunted morel but I’ve eaten them a few times fried .
And I was amazed at the fantastically delicious taste !
👍
Most helpful video I've watched! Thanks so much for sharing
After 72 years trying to stay busy, Just learning to hunt and harvest Morels good information thank you
very informative vedio from looking to picking thank you sir
I used to take my 2 year old with me and he found them fast!! Eyes closer to the ground. LOL Carry a stick and watch where you step. Once you've seen one the rest just start popping up everywhere. Ohh, the thrill.
You guys are awesome and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Not too many people are willing to give up their secrets. Thank you. I been walking around the woods the past few days and so far haven’t seen anything. I feel like your tips will definitely help.
Lol there's no secrets when it comes to mushroom huntin....it's pretty much a gamble any state your in 😎👌
I'm new to the mushroom hunting gang, so I've been trying to watch educational videos on how to find them. And seeing someone also in PA finding a bunch gives me hope! Thank you so much for this video and I hope to find some morels when i go foraging later today!
I'm from SWPA and I just found my first two today!
I’m in the Dayton Ohio area, I’ve recently been sneaking out looking with no luck... I’m a noob at shroom hunting but these videos are extremely helpful.
Per what you mentioned in your video, you DID in fact inspire me to go out morel hunting. It's a bit cold here yet I think, it just snowed 3 days ago and there's no tree buds yet (even though it's almost may!!!) but I WILL be going hunting. Thanks for the vid
Kind sir may I request a morel hunting season 2022 videos I would love to see how much farther you have progressed throughout the past 3 yrs
👆look up that handle, he ship Swiftly, and he got
shrooms🍄, dmt, Ayahuasca,Lsd mmda, Psilocybin infused,chocolate bar
Growing up my dad and I picked morels that grew on our property.. I remember picking hundreds and hundreds of them. We had so many we even fed them to our pigs! They went absolutely nuts for them! Of course there wasn't a market for them then like there is today, but I can't help wishing we still had that land.. Our pigs probably ate 6 figures worth of morels over the years lol
Don't you wish you had that many at today's prices?
Those lucky 🐖🐖🐖! I've yet to find one 😭
Probably gave you guys the best tasting meat around. Nothing like natural fed pork and cattle.
@@KillingDarwin I didn't appreciate it at the time, but we were eating organic long before it was trendy! Growing up in the country has it's perks ;)
This guys is great man. Very informative doesn’t beat around the bush
I really enjoyed your video. I am going to start searching for morels next spring!
I happened to stumble across this video but man you’re amazing thank you so much for the tips and tricks, through this I have been able to put 2 and 2 together, I never knew they mostly grew around dead elm trees but it all makes sense now🤯😁
You’re awesome for sharing this very informative video with everyone. 🍄🌱❤️happy foraging!
Thank you bro. I’m new to morel hunting last year being my first year so something good came from COVID-19. Due to layoff I had time to go out everyday. I live in southwest Pa and was able to apply your teaching and did very well. I have been out on recon the last couple weeks and I’m looking forward to treasure hunting big time shortly.
I enjoyed the video! I have luck on south facing slopes as well! Don't forget to use a mesh bag so the spores can fall out! I
Thank you, for making this video.
You are amazing. And. So generous with your knowledge. Thanks so much. You are doing great. Don’t worry about the criticism from others. Your the morel man !
Thinly slice Pheasant Back, dehydrate and powder them. Use this powder as an additional seasoning to add to your usual seasoning on any meat and poultry. Delicious.
Wow . Such a joy to visit places like that with lots of mushrooms.
Thank you for this video! I am determined to go mushroom hunting this year and had no idea where to start but thanks to you, now I do! I had one single morel mushroom 🍄 over 20 years ago and I remember is being one of the most delicious shrooms I've ever had but no one will go find any for me so this year I'm gonna get them myself!!
I think this is going to be a great year for morels.
I noticed the mayapples are up where you're looking the ginseng should be to. I never go mushroom hunting until the jack-in-the-pulpits are up. Those big Rusty orange ones that you showed at the beginning of your video I don't pick them they usually fall apart on me before I get to the house. And I never use plastic bags I use onion bags, or potato bags that away the bugs and spores can fall out while I'm walking through the woods. You're right about the slippery elm trees we find them abundantly in my area with mushrooms also the red Elms never find them around the yellow elms. We also find them in the heavy Sycamore leaves.

And another one right there!!! You make me want to get in my car right now and go hunt even tho I feel its too early!! Morels are so unpredictable but It doesn't hurt to go out early!! Happy hunting everyone!!
I am the world's worst mushroom hunter. I just love a reason to walk in my woods.
That's the spirit! My dad always said "it's not about you find or get, it's about how the day was spent." And a day in the woods is a damn good day. Cheers friend! :)
Once you spot one.. it will automatically be ingrained in your brain.. and eventually you'll be able to sniff them out!😊
Same! 😂 I've never found one in the wild, I get about 20 every year behind my parents house. My stepdad finds them first and let's me pick them. Lol😂
Thank you for this video!! Very informative!! 😊
Hello my friend! Just started watching your channel, seen some one share your page on facebook! Im in south central PA blair county area. Love your videos and cant wait to learn more, thanks for the info!!
Thanks, John. You are true outdoors man. I always learn a lot from you.
I just cooked up my first moral mushrooms given to me by a friend our family enjoyed them thoroughly
Thanks John, this is an amazing video. Such great details like the specifics of one way to pick them. I love your attitude of "do what you want" and don't get bogged down with people telling you what you should do. Really appreciate this video as a new morel hunter myself!
They are damn tricky to grow either way you try.... Hence the high price when selling
Subbed, good information and no filler.
I love all your videos. You really know what your talking about. Thank you
Thank you!

Thank you!
This elm tip will help me with morels. I’ve figured out chanterelles and I’m learning chicken of the woods now.
Dude chicken of the woods is great. I found some camping one time and just recently I found them at the park one block away from my house. Lucky as hell😂
Been hunting morels in the Pacific Northwest for years...the biggest challenge is your eyes adjusting so you can see them...you can be right in the middle of a patch and not see them...they blend in with the forest floor like you wouldn't believe...I stare at an area for awhile before moving on.
Yep! I tell people about that and its hard for them to believe it until they actually go to a spot and realize they can be right under your feet.
I’m so ready for this season. I need to get back out in the woods. Thank you for sharing!
I'm going to start to learn how to find wild mushrooms. Looks like a ton of fun and I love mushrooms so why not right? Do you know why they use that special bag and not just say a plastic grocery bag or something like that? Thanks!

I have different trees that I find them by but it's the principle
The hills facing the east are my first spots then the south then west and not south next the flats lol
My new saying is not every tree has a patch but every patch has a tree
Great video and nice hints too!! Thanks I have only found 3 so far this year and I'm still looking here in Virginia hopefully I'll find enough to pick and cook!! Yuummm. Thanks

😂
Great video, thank you for the info
Thank you this video was very helpful.
lol pretty good haul for 10 minuets hunting, me and the wife walked for 4 hours today found 7 smalls. hopefully watching these videos will help
Slayin the morels! Haha
Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey John. Love you videos. I've noticed under alot of the elm bark I find some morels their too. Not sure if you did look in between filming but I find them under bark on the ground too. Happy hunting!!
*”there” is a location, “their” is possessive. Example; they are at their own home.
Good job bro hardest mushroom i ever hunted,get low and slow like barbecue, find one get down and crouch keep looking took me four years to find them in the wild!!!
so glad to have found your channel!! i found quite the honey hole last week here in Missouri! found a few hundred morels and boy i will never forget this year.
Awesome video, you inspired me to make a video on this as well, I've hunted,found, and ate these Morel Mushrooms for years. If you haven't tried a Morel Mushroom your missing out, nothing compares!! Theres a reason why these are considered the 4th most expensive mushroom in the world at around $250 dollars a pound in some areas!
Thanks for making this, very informative video!!
Thanks for your information and being an awesome person!!!
I'm in Frederick county Maryland and they usually grow near Poplar trees here. I got about 50 just around our house this year. It was a good season.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. You've gotten a new subscriber.
I'm so ready to go. This is making me want to to check out the woods I hunt at.
I just found a Morel Mushroom on my tiny Island Solta in the Adriatic Sea...wow.
Ines Radman wow you have an island, has anyone told you that you are so beautiful ma’am 😍😍😍😳😂
@@unknowndesconocido8325 Thank you so much. I'm blushing now.
Great info thank you.
Thank you for the info, i love hunting morels, hello from France.
Thanks for the tip. Going to try to find some this weekend :)
I couldn't agree with you more, your own way to pick em is fine. All is fair in Love and War... and mushroom hunting...
Really helpful video. I’m trying to find your tree I.D. Video! Learning my local trees will be a real game changer!
John, I agree pick them any way you want. There have Ben studies now proving that pulling mushrooms doesn't harm the patch.
One thing I do recommend is covering the stumps left behind after picking the morels. This can greatly help prevent other hunters from finding your patches. Keep them stealthy private lol
We have no few to no elm trees in NH. Does anybody know what trees to look for here ash, apple?
HEY JOHN IM THE GUY THAT MET YOU AT PONDEROSA TODAY IN BUTLER WAS GREAT MEETING YOU AND TALKING TOYOU CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS AND HOW DO I GET A LWO HAT PLEASE LET ME KNOW THANKS JOHN YOUR A AWESOME GUY CANT WAIT TO HUNTING SEASON. THANKS SCOTT KUTCH
Hey Scott! Nice meeting you today! Glad you came up and said hi. As of right now, the only hats we have left are for giveaways for later this year. Our hat maker went out of business so we are not sure if or when we will get more hats made.
Hey bud I also live in pa. I been trying for years tried sooooo many tips. From different area’s and tree to look by but nothing working can you help in anyway?
What month and date do you pick? I pick around mothers day here in Michigan. I look in multiple directions in the same spot. Also I found some under a mulberry tree go
figure.
around the first two weeks in may are best where I am at
Trust me I am always looking, sometimes to a fault. Like when I’m driving and I’m passing miles and miles of forest nearby house. I refer to that as Window shopping, when you see Mushroom’s from a moving car LOL
Thank you for this video. I have learned something today...
The people who come back to watch your vids know!
Great video for beginners or people looking for new tips and ideas!
You have got that figured out pretty good man... Been watching and following for quite some time.... I found over 100 last spring, but most were in a old apple orchard..... I don't have quite the luck you do in the hardwoods... I'm gonna give the Elmo and tulip theory a shot this year.... Not the greatest at tree ID...... THANKS
We just bought property and the hubs and I are going to try our hand Morel hunting today! I hope it is not too late in the season (Michigan). We have about 17 acres of wooded area, so fingers crossed 🙌
I live in Michigan, right now is the best time to start looking. I've been finding quite a few already.
@@Gawdless Thanks! We have found a couple each day, so far! No big hits yet!
@@cortneyfrench8808 Oh, nice! Hope you'll find some big ones like what I found today.
Awesome video I had a great black morel season!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

That's really cool you found a lot of mushrooms
This is the twin brother of Les Clayoool who wrote the song "My Name Is Morel", but Primus changed it to "My Name Is Mud".
Are you serious? I was gonna say he looks exactly like Les Claypool.
I fell into this trap also. Had me for a sec
To each their own I like the way of thinkin!!
