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.

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😂

What a pleasant video! Really nice guy. Willing to share info without being arrogant. I LOVED this video and the great information!! Thank you! ❤

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.

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!

They blend in so good you could walk right by loads of them

After 72 years trying to stay busy, Just learning to hunt and harvest Morels good information thank you

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!

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!!

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.

Awesome video I had a great black morel season!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

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

Great video, thank you for the info

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 chomping at the bit to get out in the woods this spring. Thanks for the tips!

I just cooked up my first moral mushrooms given to me by a friend our family enjoyed them thoroughly

Thanks, John. You are true outdoors man. I always learn a lot from you.

Really helpful video. I’m trying to find your tree I.D. Video! Learning my local trees will be a real game changer!

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!

Great video! This is great information!

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

This video is priceless. Thank you so much!

Pa forager here, just gettin started. Thank you man

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

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...

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

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 !

Thank you for this video. I have learned something today...

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.

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.

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).

Great video for beginners or people looking for new tips and ideas!

Great info thank you.

very informative vedio from looking to picking thank you sir

very informative, thanks!

Great video just beginning to learn about Morel hunting, trying to stay bush at 72 years of working.

I just picked some of those pheasant backs yesterday they were delicious felt the call of the wold after about 30 min of eating

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

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!!

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

Love this ,I want some!

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
