Well done! Good for you! Thanks for posting!

Nice haul! Buried in snow here... still 2 months away in MN

I went out looking yesterday in some areas that I have found them here in the eastern part of the state, but nothing yet. Hope to get out again today to check another area that has produced in the past.

Crazy how once you see one, your brain has the image now, and then boom... you're surrounded by them

This happens to me with everything I forage. I see it once, and I’ll see it everywhere. I never find stuff when I’m looking for it though lol at least not until I’ve found it once before

I also found my earliest Morels this year on March 5th. In Charlotte, NC. My previous earliest date was March 20th.They love Ash trees and privet here. Ended the season with 206 Morels. It was a strange season where they came up early, then stopped, then had a second flush about three weeks later.

Sweet probably not a good sign for finding them when turkey season opens my aunt and uncle live south of Nashville I plan on going down there to hunt turkeys can't wait I was hoping to find some mushrooms also.

Spring has hit really early here in Central Texas . The bluebonnets are already coming up , and the Mesquite trees are already leafing out ....

I found 2 in Kentucky last year while turkey hunting.. Fried them at the truck.. Was wishing I had found more!

Great find for the first time this year!

I've been waiting its such an early spring thanks man!

WOW mushrooms March 1st??? looks like a good season... hope they start popping here in Iowa...I would still use a mesh bag...keeps them producing. Elm trees are good...good vid

I had the same thing happened to the place I was picking mushrooms.but I have a few more places to go to get them early.

Nice job! We have the same dirty stem end flinging technique while picking. Pop em off! Happy hunting. We are still waiting here in the northern states.

Found seven small grays today. April 4th in east central KY. Earliest I have found them here. Hope this is a good sign.

Yes sir we thanks ya for the heads up!

Looks like you got yourself a good honey hole. I've had some luck early this year. My early spot is full of privet, young Elms and decent ground cover.

I'm in centerville,guess I'll be heading out early this year,ran into you at grill Billy's one time in fairview for lunch,keep up the good videos

Still snow in ground, melt little yesterday,hope I can go and find this yr .

I am 60 years old N W Missouri. I have found yellows gray white blacks and red in the spring button tops. All side by side. Ground temp,moisture and wind seems to make a difference. I havedound them in plowed fields 100 yards from trees elms pine spruce even cotton woods. Osage orange. Clusters singles. I have found grays next to yellows where grays were beer bottle size and yellows didn't get over 3 inches talk. Along creeks where I have picked 3 to 5 pounds daily in the same spot. In my yard 8 10 inches tall in the afternoon where u cut the grass that morning. Just got to look is all

Thank you for that video I was amazed by how much I learned from that . I am 59 and I have not seen them in our stores near. Why is that. I will start watching them. Can you show a video of the kinds are name them for me that would be in Georgia please. Robin Jones

Some Great Eats rite der Youngman! We got a while befer we can git'em here in Michigan, startin to find a few Whitetail sheds though! Keep them vidja's comin!

Would like to see a video from U on tree identification in ur area and show the leafs 🍃 or leaves 🍃 🤔 that corresponds with that tree 🌳 !! :)

Nice video. I have a few spots in my woods. One spot in my yard.

Thats awesome buddy, I went and looked today in my spot, I didn't see any yet. But I know it'll be any day

South facing hillside with fallen trees in the timber was the honey hole in No Central Illinois but about a month later in year. Also some warm humid weather was the trigger.

My first year hunting morel's in Oklahoma was AMAZING. It would be nothing to find over 250 in one hunt. 450 plus was our best day ever. Always in the same areas. Never 8 hours worth. over time, 3 or 4 years later, other people started hunting the land, we seldom ever go there anymore. A friend of ours has just a pinch of property and the morels grow in his front yard literally! He doesn't eat them (WHAT!!!) GIANT ones grow in a few spots, huge monsters! upwards of 9 inches. We get more than enough morels to last us and share with our son on his small patch of land (it. is. insane.) We never pick every single one we see. They are such a blessing for us to enjoy and we never have picked every single one we have seen either. The nice thing about our friends place is we don't have to worry about the wild hogs rooting or coming through. We have been blessed to avoid it but we have seen their destruction in the woods/forest. Thank you for your video!!

Nice man. Freshies! Hope you find a truckload.

Wow I'm surprised they're already in. Its cold again now but I may need to get out and start looking for em. Thanks for sharing

Haters... I use a turkey or ham plastic mesh bag. Use what you like. I found a big bunch one time but they grew in a sand bar... had to toss the whole batch because of sand in them.

I use plastic bags too the only problem is briars. I was hunting once and tied the bag to my belt and somewhere along my walk I pulled out the bag and found it was torn and dropping shrooms. I had to backtrack for 30 min. or more looking. I have used the mesh potato sacks and they do ok and are sturdier.

What a haul !!! I really enjoy your vids man. I especially enjoyed the latest Bowfishing vid. That was a porker of a fish. Congrats on that as well. Can’t wait to watch more. Be safe.

I'm in SE Tennessee, wasn't sure time to hunt but Let's Go!!

None in Southeast Oklahoma yet...They're hard to find too many pine...but down 8n the old hardwoods it's still too wet....

Southern Illinois earliest I've found any was 20th of March. But they're always small blacks that early here.

Wow that is early! Might be early here in Virginia, will have to keep eyes open!

Great video! Went hunting today, nothing popping up in Aldie Virginia just yet but it's been cold lately.

wierd we have 6 inches of snow here in MN still as of april1st.

You have a great mushroom spot!

We have 18” of snow . No morels until April or may. Wisconsin

I've found thousands around elms. That's weird,lol. Elms my 2nd best kind of tree to find em around.

I found the biggest morels that I’ve ever found right in the middle of a lady’s yard that I used to mow lol i wonder if they are up here in East Tennessee

Its too early where I am in Indiana but you can see the soil temp maps are about right up until Louisville and it just cuts off there and is lower temps above said line. This is definitely going to be the year they pop up earlier.

Man that is a haul for March 1 or any time. You are blessed brother!

I’m in Weakley County. What features are you looking for?

Dude! That is a hell of a mushroom patch! Have you been back?

Seems like everybody who hunts for shrooms has their own "Lore" about them. I've got a nice patch of the greys down near the river edge that always produced well, then one year they just stopped coming up for no reason. I need to get back down there and see if they came back. Some fine eating little greys go great with wild turkey breast!

I would be happy with that for the first pick of the year.

Baked venison steak in creamy morel gravy. Yum

Lucky where I live now not finding them.

Mesh bags are hard on mushrooms.

Great find! But the purpose of using a mesh bag is so that the spores fall out every where you walk through out the woods. Try dipping them in a creek as you walk as well with a mesh bag.
