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 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.

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.

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

Thanks again & God bless!

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 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
