I love your videos Johnny. You're one of the only locals to my area I can find on here, seriously appreciate your generosity in sharing knowledge and showing exactly the terrain you find mushrooms in. Still hunting for my first lobster, will find it this year i know it.
Arkansas Ozark mountains here. I have a dog that points out mushrooms. "Rosy" successfully finds false and true morels, chantarelles, etc. We have so far discovered, harvested, and eaten 17 different edible mushrooms in this area. It stays foggy in the valleys year round here. Rosy already found some false morels last week. we're going out today before a light freeze comes down . I appreciate your videos. Wish us Luck/Morels
Found my first one of the season in Iowa this am.. we started hunting in Arkansas a week ago.. heading to MO this weekend to hunt then it will be game time here. I take 3-4 weeks off to hunt every year and know what I’m doing but I’m glad I have stumbled upon your channel as I have learned some new things.. that’s saying something.. kudos you da man 🍄🍄🍄🍄
Thank you so much. You're too kind. What you've seen me do is pure luck. As you know, it's all in Mother Nature's hands. Doesn't matter what you know if she doesn't let it rain where you need it.
@@johnnyfish6051 I think any type of hunting is putting in the hours over years to know what you are doing but how you explain things will help people a lot.. makes more sense of my honey holes and why they produce.. rock on
@@johnnyfish6051 yea I bet, me and the whole mushroom thing just don’t get along, many days and miles for nothing…. It is what it is. Cool to see people go out and get em though
A buddy and I would hunt morels together every year.. he had a theory and he was trying to tie "dutch elm disease" and finding mushrooms.. I suppose it would make sense as most of the time, here in southeastern Minnesota, we would find alot of morels near dead elm trees.. he would ask me if I could smell 'em!?!?.. and would answer himself and reply.. I can smell 'em! and I know there here.. we would usually return home with at least a couple of bread bags full of morels.
Loving your videos brother! What's the most you have ever found in a day? Or the most around one tree? Here in Southern Ontario, they aren't quite as prolific and mother loads are very hard to find, they are around for sure, but tend to be scattered with just a few here and there. Sometimes I'll get lucky and find 20 or 30 under a dead elm but that is about as good as it gets here
Thank so much Joe! Man I can talk forever with these questions. Most one day..120 lbs one tree maybe...8 lbs. But of course this is rare. I've got 40 yrs experience picking on a local level. Second best day would be maybe..30 lbs. I don't have conifer forest and burns like where the true royal flushes happen. I focus on simply covering as much ground as possible. More ground then most believe when I tell them or would attempt. To really confuse you the most I found in one day and season the morels came from a forest that was 90% dominated with Black Willow trees. You won't here anyone else say that!
@@johnnyfish6051 wow that's crazy! I would die a happy man if I could find 120 lb in one day LOL! I know what you mean when talking about covering distance. Most people don't want to go foraging with me because I put so many miles on in a day. I teach foraging wild edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms here in Southern Ontario. I'm essentially obsessed with it and I probably forage for about 30 to 40 hours a week LOL. That's why I'm going through mushroom withdrawal right now! Nothing much to find in the winter time where I live, so I mostly just fish. That's crazy that you found them around blackwillow! I definitely don't hear many people talking about that! Here in Southern Ontario I find a lot of morels near Spruce and pine trees and nobody else looks for them there. Definitely don't find the motherlode in those areas, but a big Spruce or pine tree with some grass near it can produce anywhere from a couple mushrooms to 50 of them. I have also been hearing about people finding them in Eastern Cedar stands, so I'm going to try looking around them this year as well. Your season probably starts pretty soon won't it?
I'm in Kansas the Free State. No this vid wasn't filmed this year. I hope it finds you useful or aleast pumps you up for the morel season. Wish you well and good luck!
Buddy hillbillies are considered a notch just below yuppie wer Im'a frum. Wer Im'a frum what you call a stick, is the size of a sequoia tree and I'm so far out in the sticks we don't even NAME THIS PLACE! .....Wer Im'a frum
@@JustaHillbilly-eq9ov Hehe! Hellya Kansas buddy, this was filmed last season. Hope it gets you pumped up and motivated to find a truckload of morels in 2023. Me and you are gona be buddies. Like two pony trailed democrats in a coffee shop.

Yes Sir, Good luck! sounds like your living good.

Yeah! Three weeks for me I believe. Good luck

@sarahbeals3555 So cool,thanks. Hope you find a truckload in Iowa. Get'm!
So excited, still in Riley co this year. I think this year I'm going to get a permit to go on base and look in Fort Riley. Best of luck to you 👍.
Ft.Riley sucked last season. Hope it’s better this time around before I PCS.
@@gatekeeper3660 thanks for the info, it's really appreciated. Best of luck to you.
Sounds like a good idea! Good luck hope you find a ton.
@@gatekeeper3660 gota chase the rain
Very cool, haven’t had any luck with the mushrooms but the fishing has been decent down in the creeks this winter.
Thanks for watching. Mushrooms go good with fish.

Mid April, stay wild Joe.
Do you like for temperatures to be seventies and 50s at night
Yes, 365 days a year please!
Do you still have gray morel mushroom? I want some spores
I got grey hairs. This was filmed last season. 2023 is still a few weeks away for me. Hope this got you pumped up to find a fridge full of morels!
Where you located around like what state
I'm in Kansas the Free State. No this vid wasn't filmed this year. I hope it finds you useful or aleast pumps you up for the morel season. Wish you well and good luck!
