Morels and Dead Elm Trees

[Rammshtyn]

It sounds, with the crunchiness of your boots, it was'nt damp enough for them.

It may have been to late for morels also with the other vegatation grown up so high,and the one you found laying on it's side. Not good conditions

[jbfbcsvt19]

to me this does not look like a good area to even find morels... its always good to get other people interested though

[snowboardman720]

Where is this?!?

[thethreewagners]

dont ask where it is it is a morel policy NOT to tell where it is

[magikizdead]

it's a secret, hunters never tell there spots

[amishdoctor]

There is a symbiotic relationship between the elm root and the fungus. The fruiting body of the fungus, the morel,pops up when the tree is stressed or dying, not dead, so it can go to spore and perpetuate its life. It also has this symbiotic relationship with ash and apple trees and interestingly enough with wild orchids also. Hey, sometimes a one morel day is awesome. I just like hangin' out in the woods. I bet dirtball would be fun to hang out with, what a jackass.

[Phaedrus1234]

Thanks for the video. In my experience, Elms with no bark, depending on the surrounding vegetation, yield more morels than Elms with existing bark. I think this is because morels like being flushed with water and smooth dead Elms do this better than Elms with bark.

I've read the studies on the symbiotic relationships with Elms, but found them unconvincing.

I hope you have better luck finding morels. :)

[magikizdead]

your a jackass...you should go hang yourself off a dead elm tree you fuck.

[WildernesswayTracker]

I was going to say them Garlic Mustard Plants would go good with the Morels, then you mentioned them. Mmmm, Good eating, Morels & Garlic Mustard Plant. Would love to find them dryad saddles to eat too.

[sanders136]

look for mushrooms not trees you dumbass.

god thats so freaken reatarded i hate when people oh look by the elms that where you find them. you can find them any where.

and another thing i want to point out is that half frees or peackerheads are completely safe to eat people are such dumbasses

[WildernesswayTracker]

Wow someone forgot to take there prozac. You have a nice way of teaching. Is that how someone treated you when they taught?

There is Polite way of pointing things out to people that dont know something. How are you suppose to learn if you treat people like that. No one will want to teach you anything new if thats how you treat people with your knowledge.

[TheCharonelson]

Yeah, wow, sanders! So, someone took some vid of a hunt (in reasonable territory) and it caused you coronary. That IS inexcusable.  I bet you never lost on out on what you thought was a hot spot. Yes, I would bet.

That was ridiculously harsh.

Try thinking of it this way - MAYBE, said "dumbass" won't find your mycelia.

[sanders136]

yeah well you really think i care what you say. i just said people are dubmasses for beliving that. taht might be a good place. but i am jsut saying

[baja63383]

I live in central missouri, and we've had about 9 inches of rain so far this year, I went everyday this week and so far I've found 19 lbs of morels..god they're good

[lumputwo]

there were morels at the first tree dummy!

[greatnothing42]

i geuss we shouldnt expect much else from some over opinionated dickhead calling himself dirtball.

[megarouge2001]

Dirtball, who RAISED you? Seriously? Were you raised in foster care by drug addicts or something?

[megarouge2001]

You're a really bad person, dirtball. I feel bad for anyone who has to interact with you in the future.

[megarouge2001]

Your life must be miserable, Dirtball.  You have my pity.

[greatnothing42]

uh oh dirtballs thumbsdowning us ,geuss that teaches us .oh and this isnt television its a dude with a video camera trying to teach people the general environment of the morel not some forum for some negative prick to start trashtalking.if your looking for excellence in film-making surely you could go somewhere better than "morels and dead elm trees",smartguy.

[ohiotransplant]

No worries. I laugh at folks like Mr. Dirtball. And then I pity them too.

[freespeechownsu]

Learn the facts, the symbiotic realtion between morel and tree roots has been astablished a few years back, and there is only 1 paten that covers this.

[psalmbh]

dirtball, you are dick. no other way to say it. you are a dick.

[mountainpuma]

Well said.....criticizm is one thing, but being a jerk is uncalled for

[Hatchetman6971]

Sounds like you need attention today. Poor Dirtball, no one is paying attention to him.

[beretta391s]

That area is a jungle!!! Lot's of elms, but it looks like alot of them have mica caps fruiting under them. In my experience, trees w/ these fruitings almost never produce morels. I believe this is due to the fact that the mutual relationship between the elm root and fungus has been taken by the micas, so the morel fungus can't get be established. I also don't have near the luck on flat ground as compared to hillsides, both with elms.

[grifola]

Hi Rex, Sorry to see you only found one morel that trip. One more than I found though! I must compliment you on sharing your tree information with everyone. I'm a tree hunter too, as you know. I messed around doing other things this spring and didn't get out for morels. But this is only the beginning of the mushroom season.Hopefully I'll make up for it with other mushrooms.Yak at ya later.
