Hey, Adam! Been a big fan of your channel for years!!! Got a question....I live in Southern Ontario. We don't have elm trees here anymore really, as they were pretty much decimated. Tulip poplar are very scarce as well. When I find morels,I almost always find them in association with apple, spruce or pine. Any other recommendations?? Last year was an amazing year here for morels, and I always find them, but I'm wondering if my time is better spent looking for certain other trees instead? Thanks in advance, and all the best. Keep up the great work!!

Found mine under very small elm trees too, and dead ash. and 3 scattered in the middle of the woods under a poplar. I scored a few oyster mushrooms on a landscaping job I did to.

I've focused on trying to find elm trees, and have found some small ones but no larger dead ones. I'll keep trying to find that jackpot. Even when I come up empty on the morel hunt, the consolation is just a nice hike in the woods with my dog. Pretty cool to spot a Pileated woodpecker once in a while too. Love your videos, Adam.

I recently learned that morel’s can be found in Japan. A local forager’s channel mentioned finding common morels under elm, oak and apple trees. Some Japanese foraging guides also state that cherry and ginko trees are prime locations. The Japanese name is 編笠茸 (ami gasa take) which I think translates as braided hat mushroom or perhaps fishing net mushroom. I keep a notebook with the names and picture of wild edibles in my area, so hope to be adding this mushroom soon.

Try walking along a Ridgeline then after picking some there drop down to the bottom of the hill and look back up. They push up beneath the fallen leaves do easier to see them. All of them have a buddy so if you see one stop,take a good look so you don't forget where its at. Then scan up to twenty ft around it,should have a buddy or more. Your best spots are old railroad beds or fence lines next to apple orchards. Any fruit that will ferment will do though. The hell with trees and what kind,your usually in a forest and can find a specific tree standing still anywhere. You look for trees thats all you'll find. I've found 400+ on an old strip mine hill without hardly a weed on it. When Mayapples are up so are morrels and always know where your at or which way you came. Very easy to get lost once you find one cause it will be awhile before you look up again. Potato sack will help spread spores so try and get one and hold onto it. Good luck

Grew to ten years or so living near three golf courses; daily walks through the woods to get to each. Me, along with other kids, would gather lost golf balls and sell them to golfers along the fairways for $.25-.50 each. From that experience, I gained an ability to see the "thing" I searched to find. I was also able to purchase my first, true, BMX bicycle frame and forks at ~$500... This was during the 70's, and I sold a lot of golf balls between the ages of eight to ten...

Well, I'm in northern MI. There are very, very, VERY few Elms. Some box elms near the rivers. I was out with my dog that's trained to sniff out dried morels and alert. Been raining, and then warmed up to the 60s for two days. Soil temps are over 50 and around 55-60. We walked for hours in a known area that has had morels (general area of a county) through Poplar and Beech woods on a southern facing slope, Maples (booo) and found nothing except a grouse and her nest. Drove a few miles into a clear cut logging area (was cut last fall) that covered a big hill on 3 sides (south, east, west), bottom of said BIG hill was a swampy area with a few Elms, Birch, Poplar, Beech, etc, top of the same hill was a dead apple orchard. Swamp/Hill was on a nasty logging road that was muddy and washed out and needed ground clearance and 4x4 to get through... After 4 hours out, looking around every "good" tree...not a single thing. Nothing. Found a ton of Ramps, found other mushrooms, found bunnies, a ton of pretty flowers, a few plants I didn't recognize, and a flint stone or maybe old arrowhead. I'm outside every day for at least an hour or two or more walking and looking. Never found any in the wild. 1 on the side of the road two years ago in grass under pine, and last year my GF's parents showed me some in their yard...under pine in grass. Always in proximity to people, never in the "wild". I think morels are a myth, and a giant troll on unsuspecting city dwellers from the South/Coastal areas. What tree are they under? Well any tree according to enough people. When do they come out? When its warm, but not too warm, and it has to be wet (so cold in order bc rain to precipitate the air temp has to shift). And of course no one will actually tell you where they get morels from OR show you. They don't really look like any mushroom with a cap, stipe, and gills. Think about it. Its a conspiracy, morels are fake and do not exist.

1:34 I’m pretty new to foraging, but what I’ve learned so far is I can NEVER find what I’m looking for. But I always find what I’m NOT looking for. So learning to identify new things that I find ends up being more productive than actively searching for specific plants or fungi. I found and foraged my first edible mushroom this way, when I stumbled upon some yellow foot chanterelles last year. They were amazing. After years of being scared to try wild fungi, I’m glad I finally got the confidence to try.

I havent missed a season in 41 years. I used to average over 100 pounds a season. I've found them in some pretty odd places over the years. Growing straight off of rocks, and cliffs... once, even in the middle of a gravel road. The south facing hills around dead elm trees of any size, or even live apple trees, but elms are the best. The size of the dead or dying elm is not important. My record so far, was over a thousand 6-8 inch tall mushrooms under one massive elm at the head of a valley, that had been recently split by lightning, but my second best tree a few years later, gave me 750 4-6 inch mushrooms under a dead elm that was only 3 inches wide. Peak here in southern Wisconsin, is the end of May. Can't wait. This will be my 42nd season. Everyone tells me I should write a book about them. Maybe I just will.

I love your videos, Adam! They’re so inspiring and encouraging. I live in south western Connecticut and have found very few morels over the past 4 years. This is probably because I don’t get out often enough, but also that I don’t know how to find elm trees in my area. I’ve watched several videos on elm tree identification. I’ve searched the Internet and read about them, downloaded local literature from the state website. And after that I really wish there was a better way to learn to identify elms. I think what I need to see is several variations of elm trees at various stages of growth. I also need to see a comparison of them and their bark to the bark of other similar trees, like black locust. We have tons of dead and dying ash trees, and a lot of massive tulip trees. I’ve mostly been searching around tulip and ash trees. No luck. Is it better to search near water like lakes, streams, or swampy wetlands? I have had some luck in a few spots in the Hudson River valley but with the pandemic, these areas are pretty heavily trafficked over the past year. So I think others have been at them before me. Any ideas on how to get better at tree id would be really great. Thanks for your videos. I hope you continue making them!

Normally right after the last freeze or what is traditionally the time of the last freeze in your area is the time to start looking. Red buds and flowering pears are bloomed all over in landscapes and along roads for a week or two before morels pop up. Mayapples have fully opened. Here in northern missouri about April 15 is time to start looking. The season will vary a week or two from year to year and last 3 to 4 weeks here. Bottoms are best but you can find them higher in the forest out of the floodplain or in places you wouldn't expect them. Sometimes you dont have to hike deep into the woods and find them a few feet inside the forest edge next to fields where they get lots of sun. Best to walk creek or river bottoms with elms, cottonwoods, sycamores. If I'm not in a floodplain I just look across the top of the forest and find the giant white sycamores because they stick out and prefer to grow in soil with lots of moisture same as morels.

Interesting that garlic mustard did not hamper the morels growing! Great video Adam! Saw my first live morel this week, it was under a friend's sugar maple in his backyard. Cant wait to find one in the forest! Keep up the great work!

Thank you, Adam. I plan to use this info once the rain stops, to try and develop my morel harvest. So far it's only happened once, and quite by accident! Also, thanks for the assist in this video of a plant that's been bugging me since it popped up: mayapple!

Thank you Adam! I'm in mid Michigan and am looking forward to the season, I haven't found any ever but i still go out, I found some chicken of the woods last year, but they were wormy
@willong10003 жыл бұрын
Take a look in the same area next year, but begin earlier, and you might find some of those Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus sulphureus) in edible condition. Where I live, the peak season is usually around September. However, not every field guide is entirely correct. For example, I have field guides that say that Zeller's bolete (Xerocomellus zelleri) is a Fall mushroom. Generally, that is when they fruit; but I have found them in Spring two years in a row now--I found three popped up in the woods behind the house yesterday--and it is a mushroom not easily misidentified as anything else.

Permethrin treatment on garments you wear from hat/cap to socks/shoes. One or two years ago, CDC did experiment on Permethrin treated fabric against all 4 stages of ticks' life span. They all get paralyzed and dropped off from that fabric. Here's how-to: www.cdc.gov/ticks/avoid/on_people.html

I use Sawyer. Works great! I treat two sets of hiking clothes. You can wash them around 5-6 times before retreating. I watched a tick crawl around on my T-shirt going around slower and slower in circles. Although I am a tick magnet, I rarely get a tick now.

I was wondering if the cicadas had any effect on the mushrooms this year. Seems like they could help the mycelium grow in new places and give a place to fruit at easier.

Great info Adam, in our part of Central NH we don’t have Elm or Tulip Poplar. We do however have a lot of Ash and Cherry which you discussed in one of your earlier videos. I also know of an old abandoned Apple orchard which we checked out on May 1st but I’m thinking it’s still a bit early for us here in Central NH. I’ll be going back at least once a week until the end of May to hopefully find some. I was turned on to Morels many years ago as a kid hunting them in souther Ohio with my Grandfather but have yet to find any here. As relatively new foragers we really appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

I found a grove of elms after 3 days of rain, temperature high reached 60, on a slope, remote location where the neighbors said they had seen them years ago. Nothing. Went back the next week, nothing. Yesterday after more rain, nothing. Peak morel time and I can't find them anywhere:(

@@Punkfucck Drove 2 hours south down through Vermont, stopping whenever I saw a big old elm, or half dead elm. Nothing. Been raining here fore days, in the 50s. Stopped a half dozen times on the way back; nothing. Walked through the woods in a remote area; nothing. Too depressing at this point. I'll still look because I'm an addict, but have better luck with oysters and puffers and boletes. Besides that, where are the fucking elms? So many dead, I fear for the future of the morels!
