You have amazing charisma and charm! Thank for posting these uplifting videos, also very informative!

Thank you for making these videos, they are informative and entertaining. Your camera man cracks me up with the closeup of the inchworm on your shoulder, then the little R2 cameo LOL pure awesome! I’m just getting into mushroom foraging and trying to learn all I can. Your videos are super helpful. Thank you.

Well done, very informative, will be hunting the morel soon here in Pa.

Took me hours of google'ing and searching to find a video that helped with a positive identification of the king bolete, thank you very much, and looking forward to more.

16:44 I have chestnut boletes that grow in my front lawn under the oak trees. My sons and I love them, because they give us the funnest faltulence. We get a regular choir going on for several hours. Now I know why. Thanx:)

Thank you. Excellent mix of science and woods.

Thank you for sharing. Your knowledge, personality,an beauty made this very enjoyable too watch!! Thank you.

Oh my wife and I have been searching for morels for ages now, still haven't been lucky enough to find. Great vid.

I love how educational your videos are its hard finding good info especially for nw

boletes (ceps) like the spring king, which have a lot of residents (worms, bugs) can be sliced up and dried and make a great addition to sauces when rehydrated, the bugs just disapear.

Hope your having a thriving great season in your region much love from pacific northwest enoch! !!

This is so relaxing. Thank you!

I really love your channel. You have such happy wholesome vibes

Wonderful presentation.

That 2nd morel looked like a pecker head, or half free. (In my part of the woods, anyway). This year I got REALLY lucky and found a good spot with a ton of beautiful, fresh morels.. so many I had to go back the next day. Probly the find of my life. It was a dream come true. Hubby wanted me to sell them 😐 HECK NO! My ma cooked them up and we shared them at a family gathering. So everyone could experience it! They were the perfect pair to my bro's asparagus from the garden 💚 It was like the greatest gift from mother nature, I'll never forget it.

+Matt W oh and when you harvest them out doors always leave some of the stem they will mostly likely come out in same spot next year or really close by. if dont break the mycelium seed to fruiting stage. so cut don't stem low and dont it pull out of the ground. that's key for yellow and blacks and your honey hole spots

Down here in SoCal, almost all of our edible boletes stain blue. Most of the poisonous ones have red or orange pores, most of our yellow or cream colored pored boletes are edible if not bitter.

i get super excited to see native wild orchids

funtastic forest and mushrooms! and morell like in Russia

Loved your video.. very informative! thank you.

Zac! I couldn’t stop watching the inch worm while she was talking! Had to watch a couple of times just to get what she was saying! Lol

Wowww! Amazing Mushrooms! 👍😍

I grew up on Vancouver Island. Man there were always mushrooms or well, many other things to harvest. I miss it every day. Where I am now has been very dry up until this year. I didn't find any Morels anywhere, but I found some good Fall Honey's. One day I will get back to the coast. But not yet because Shaggy Manes are on their way!!

Great Presentation!!! Thank you.

Having moved to Northern California, I am interested in taking up mushroom-hunting as a hobby. My wife and I have enjoyed focus games like Hidden Chronicles on Facebook or Criminal Case on Android and I'm guessing that mushroom-hunting may require that same sense of attention to detail. Our son is only 16mths old and I have already taken him on hikes in some of our local woods in scouting for potential future locations to check out. Thank you for your informative videos, I've just subscribed to your channel. *I am also going to see if I can find someone in the local area who is a seasoned mushroom-hunter. After many articles and videos, I'm fairly certain I will be able to identify morels but of course would prefer to go with someone who can positively ID them.

@YellowElanor

Awesome! There are some great Mycological Society's in that area, I'd check them out and see if they're offering any identification workshops or field trips. That would be an awesome way to get local help. The North American Mycological Association's web page has a section to see where Myco societies might be in your area. I'd also recommend Mushrooms of California: A Comprehensive Identification Guide if you don't have a field guide yet. And way to go getting your little out out there! My two year old can already identify a few mushrooms on his own, it's so fun taking him out.

Fantastic! Thank you.

It would have been so cool if you had also found indian pipe. They have the same symbiotic relationship as those other two flowers. The organism is in a pipe shape (obvi) and are usually completely white or have a slight pinkish tone to them. They're slightly hallucinogenic.

Do morel mushrooms grow bigger or do they pop up and stay the same size during there life span for that spring.

wow, amazing tutorial .......... thanks

We get king boletus in Maine!!! I've heard them call porchinee too,,,, not sure of the spelling... but it;s Sept/Oct when i find them. I have a couple rental camps & people from Russia come & pick .I am going to look this spring tho,, if it ever comes.. Still lots of snow,, lakes froze solid yet,, been a long damn winter in Maine.. I pick a shit load of oyster's in the fall Oct & Nov,, dry em on the warming shelf of my wood cook stove. I fill 4 or 5 one gallon size jars,, love em,,, add to about everything !! Aloha

Morels and White Truffles are my favorite. Although all the edible mushrooms are good eats.

It's so funny watching the inch worm

You are THE MUSHROOM QUEEN.

I'm a bit confused about where to cut the mushroom off. Noticed you cut below ground and a baby spring king was attached. Some video's cut at ground level and I'm wondering which is the best method that helps the plant to continue producing? Nice video, I leaned a lot here. Happy mushroom picking this spring!

Most excellent question, and one that people debate regularly. There are very few official studies about which way is best to harvest mushrooms to ensure sustainability. There is one article that I know of that speaks about it: www.fungimag.com/spring-2012-articles/LR_Agaricidal.pdf (Look up Agaricidal Tendencies: settling the debate over cutting vs. picking, and the sustainability of wild mushroom collecting) Give that a read!

Well, looks like we are caught in the middle of research and at this point it really doesn't matter if a mushroom is picked or sliced. For myself, I try to mimic nature and pick mushrooms, guess I will continue on that way until their research tells us otherwise:) Cheers

Had some Spring King mushrooms right in front of our apartment complex here in Israel. Small and by the time I identified them they were dried. Last year i saw medium sized ones. We have had 5 years of major draught here.

Thank G-D ! We had a multitude of people in Israel go to the "Western Wall" and pray for "Rains of Blessing" and a week later were answered. The Sea of Galilee though is still at its lowest point. Its our National reservoir. Torah says that most nations are blessed with many, many lakes and Israel not, so that our water depends upon our good deeds and prayer to G-D. In the meantime I'm growing (special) mushrooms inside my room in tubs. (Wouldn't want anyone to think to eat them without planing a nice trip.)

So they have a symbiotic relationship? Two types of morels. I hate to throw away bid mushrooms too.

I've had a few varieties of puff ball mushrooms before, the smaller species don't seem to have a pleasant flavor to me, but the larger ones can be quite tasty.

Gary Linkoff talks about cleaning away the spongy pore layer before cooking. He also mentions the cap skin (sorry, I can't think of the correct term) being tough and needing to be peeled or something (I could be mis-quoting him)....so, what's left to eat? The stem?

Really lovely video. Don't forget to use your 2 second timer on your phone for even steadier shots, especially with the Olio. It's harder with a phone than a camera but a zip lock bag with rice or sand makes for an excellent ultra low profile 'tripod' to aim a camera at a shroom base. Also, the 'pollen' you are seeing on the morel is more than likely conglomerations of spores.

Some information on your global location, climate and precise time of Spring would have been useful. Looks rather warm for Spring compared to where I come from where we would still be wearing our Winter woolies until May.

4:07 C'Mon! Where's your sense of adventure? That just means that there's extra protein with it. I have a lot of types of boletes that grow around my area. The best ones are pretty much gone as soon as they pop up :-/ Sometimes I will cut sections off and if there doesn't appear to be worm marks, I cook 'em good and eat 'em.

Maggots, eating spring kings, have got to be some good eating if you just flour them up and fry them. Let me know how they taste. While you're at it, send me some morels when (if) spring gets here.

You had me at mushrooms 🍄

Hi Elanor! Here in Missouri in the Ozark/Taum Sauk region I live by an oak/hickory/pine decidous forest, and even now in mid-July all neat shrooms are popping up. I had a semi fairy ring right outside my front door by my firewood pile & where spilled wood ash is. Boletes every where but most are 'Bitter Boletes'...you can eat 'em but they ain't tasty. SAy, does the Spring King habitat include Missouri?
