I am absolutely jazzed about your channel especially when you said "Kitsap". I am in North Kitsap and have been dipping my toe into the mycological world. My current work schedule precludes fully participating in the organization so this channel seems to be the next best thing. Thank you for doing this.
What a great video! Super informative and wonderful music selection. Thank you for taking care to share. We really appreciate your channel. Recently got to try foraged morels battered and fried... amazing!
I regularly consume Gyromitra montana. It is a rather tasty treat, though not quite as good as the Morchellas. I don't boil them, but i do cook them much longer than most other mushrooms.
I would be down to forage morels with you sometime, my family and I usually go to eastern washington and pick morels springtime every year. Last year we got about 50 lbs. It would be awesome to learn what kind of environments to look in on the west side!
I can't find any mushrooms the only mushroom that grows around me is the pretty red, brown, and white with the white spots all over my yard lol. 😢 I love your videos
Your videos are vary intresting and educational! Keep up the great work. And thank you so much! Also vary easy to engage and understand awsome! Keep up the great work I appreciate it!
I am a new morel hunter over here in eastern Washington. I've had varied success so far, but this video has definitely helped me get a better understanding of what is happening out there. Many thanks. I can't wait to get back out there. Also, what about recently logged areas? I have a buddy who says that's a good place to look and wondering what your thoughts are on it.
Yes I definitely heard of people having luck in recently logged areas. Morels seem to like the disturbance. I personally have not found any in that exact habitat, so I can't speak to which species really like to grow there, I would almost think that it's landscape or m. importuna, but I can't wait to learn more!
I love your videos man very informative 👌 👏 I like what you do! I have a similar relationship with mushrooms. I remember camping up in Wenatchee this time of year and my uncles would go out picking Morels but I remember there was a lot of don't touch this mushroom and all of that. I too got interested in the others and now that I'm older, going out in the woods I see mushrooms all the time and I love trying to figure out what they are and all of the little intricacies evolving habitat, elevation, region, and more. I also really enjoy finding things I have never seen before, and mushrooms are a sight to behold! I also really enjoy cooking and eating mushrooms! I think it would be cool if you have the time to do an eastern washington forage! And yes in the video before the last one that is what you were finding eh, the Morchella norvegiensis? It's also cool that you and your lady go out together for the Morels! That is a great thing! Mush love man!
Hi Aaron thanks for all valuable information you give us in this video, saludos from Mexico!! you said morels are lately being cultivated in Europe or China. Is there a reason why is it difficult to grow them or is because the spores are difficult to obtain with the process used on "normal" mushrooms?
Greetings! For a long time they were thought of as ectomycorrhizal, meaning that they need a host tree. And undoubtedly some species are that way. But some of them, like Morchella importuna, are saprobic and it hasn't been until just recently that people have learned to successfully cultivate them, and it is quite a chore from what I understand. Still a lot to learn in the world of mycology!
You’re awesome! I love your videos (I’m determined to teach my Idaho shag baby girl to be a truffle hunter) and your delivery/ video format and how much knowledge you have!!! I need some help with some mushies all over my property here in northern-ish west Idaho. Should I email you?? I was hoping for more liberty caps like I found in the fall (do you know they cure MRSA) as well as I do believe have some other incredible health benefits… but I’m terrified these ones are the deadly gallerinas or maybe I have a hybrid??? They are everywhere!!! Please can you helpppppp 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m from Montana and we’re fairly arid but I find tons of mushrooms and have no idea what I’m looking at. Anything on mountain mushrooms would be great.
I don't know of any specific places, but I'm all about teaching habitat. Find a river bed cloaked in black cottonwood trees, and you'll likely find morels. Several species prefer these trees and habitat. They like the sandy soil. I looked up cottonwood trees on iNaturalist last week, then headed to a likely habitat and found a couple pounds of half-free and regular Morels. It was easy! Try it. Mush Love👍🤙🍄
Hey. I live in northern cali. Redding to be exact. My question is what type psilocybe mushrooms grow here and what times of year? please let me know. im part of an i.d. group on facebook and all the ones ive found havent been the ones so a little help would be appreciated. thanks.
I was finding them there on sunny (south-facing to flat) slopes between 4000-3500ft a few days ago. Talked to someone who found loads a bit lower, 3000ft. Aspect might matter more than elevation right now… haven’t seen any on north-facing slopes.
A little bit of education and a whole bunch of luck. Landscape morels are still popping up around the Puget Sound randomly. Wherever you see somewhat fresh wood chips keep an eye peeled!
For some reason, I find lots of blonde morels underneath mature balsam roots. I don’t know if there is a relationship, or if the shade from the big leaves make more ideal fruiting conditions.
Symbiotic bacteria in the roots. I found California morels next to mixed madrone and oak woodland. They aren't picky about trees if they have the right microbiome
Gyromitra (esculenta, infula, and montana) to me look nothing like a true morel not gonna lie. Verpa bohemica looks way more like one, but to me, morchella look very distinct
Doesn't make a difference in the big picture. Do some homework! By the time a morel is big enough to pick it has already released thousands, if not millions, of spores. The spore spreading idea is nice but not founded in fact.
Try to get them as fresh as possible (e.g. ideally locally, from a farmer's market) during the height of the season (right now for the PNW). Haven't seen a single worm in the 7 LBS or so I've picked from burns in the past few weeks.

Thank you for watching! Glad to call you my neighbor. 🍄
Excellent seasonally appropriate tutorial! Really appreciate the comprehensive insights.
thanks! I'm ready for my first morel this year!
Great vid.
We discovered a recurring patch of morels on the property we bought. 30 feet from the kitchen. 1st week of April, every year.
“that is incorrect!” 🧐🤣 don’t get me started on sil-os-abee versus sil-oh-sibe! great video!

one of the best videos I have seen on mushrooms.

Thanyou for introducing me to Morels. I am looking for an excuse to get out in nature, and excites that maybe - I might bring home some natural food.
Always enjoy your videos!

When they grow out of the mycelium as you describe..I think of it as the forest floor knitting food for us.
I can't find any mushrooms the only mushroom that grows around me is the pretty red, brown, and white with the white spots all over my yard lol. 😢 I love your videos
Amazing video really good info thanks bro
Thanks for the videos. They apply well to Sooke area on Vancouver Island.
Your videos are vary intresting and educational! Keep up the great work. And thank you so much! Also vary easy to engage and understand awsome! Keep up the great work I appreciate it!

ERIN.. TELL US the best way on how to preserve morels for the year + mark. & your favorite way on preserving these choices eedible.
Q&A FROM A NEW SUB
I been wanting to look for morel but it is hard to find around Seattle. Except one day, I found two in my driveway. 😅
Very informative video, thank you!
Great map of washington. Cougar crimson on the right. doggie purple on the left.
Just found some morels in the Bay area. Hadn't found any in about 5 years!

My first in counter with morels was during the fall season just before the first snow fall in November.
Found some monsters banks of the Dungeness yesterday.
I’m from Montana and we’re fairly arid but I find tons of mushrooms and have no idea what I’m looking at. Anything on mountain mushrooms would be great.
Hello Aaron I live in Portland Oregon due you know where to find to find morels near me? Thanks my fellow mushroom lover.

"say it with confidence"
The advice I got from Paul Stamets on pronunciation of a dead languange.
I’m going hunting in naches tomorrow morning. What kind of elevation are they gonna be at this time of the season?
I was finding them there on sunny (south-facing to flat) slopes between 4000-3500ft a few days ago. Talked to someone who found loads a bit lower, 3000ft. Aspect might matter more than elevation right now… haven’t seen any on north-facing slopes.
Any tips re foray near Gig Harbor?
A little bit of education and a whole bunch of luck. Landscape morels are still popping up around the Puget Sound randomly. Wherever you see somewhat fresh wood chips keep an eye peeled!
When you think about it plants are eating dead matter it's just processed right?
really great video.. sub'd!
For some reason, I find lots of blonde morels underneath mature balsam roots. I don’t know if there is a relationship, or if the shade from the big leaves make more ideal fruiting conditions.
Symbiotic bacteria in the roots.
I found California morels next to mixed madrone and oak woodland. They aren't picky about trees if they have the right microbiome
We scored in Vida Oregon. Gooo
Do morels perfer sun or shade ?
Are there a y mushroomed like you in nh
Gyromitra (esculenta, infula, and montana) to me look nothing like a true morel not gonna lie. Verpa bohemica looks way more like one, but to me, morchella look very distinct
west Europe mushrooms? do you have anything about it?
Liams_spores_
If you go out morel mushroom hunting you definitely need to know what a false morel looks like because they are poisonous
I saw him putting Morales in a plastic bag that's a huge no no. It prevents the spread of spores.
Doesn't make a difference in the big picture. Do some homework! By the time a morel is big enough to pick it has already released thousands, if not millions, of spores. The spore spreading idea is nice but not founded in fact.
Lucky u!!!
We call the Gyromytra the Brain mushroom. Because of the squiggly look, brain.
Bloke what's up bucko
In theory then, could you make rocket fuel with gyromitra? Scientists should read this
he admitted to it lol
Them: mushrooms aren't addictive.
Me: True, psilocybes are not addictive. But have you tasted a pan-fried morel?
@mycoshanno
She sells shroom, DMT, LSD, and also ships fast.
She’s on Instagram.
I bought some morels at market... they were wormy! Didn't realize until I got home and cut them open. What should I look for to avoid this? 🤔 🪱
Try to get them as fresh as possible (e.g. ideally locally, from a farmer's market) during the height of the season (right now for the PNW). Haven't seen a single worm in the 7 LBS or so I've picked from burns in the past few weeks.
Nice work guy, THANKS!
