Finding The "Great Morel" Mushrooms in S.E. Minnesota Part 1

[GodLovesTurbo]

nasty



[fortwaynesports]

Remember never pull a Morel, cut it off near the base. If you remove the root ball you will never see another Morel in the same place. Same with all mushrooms. DO not remove the root ball. Cut the mushroom above the ground..

Another thing is that you seem so calm. When I find a cluster like that I shout with glee.

[blakeinkzoo]

When it is early in the season and you find them gray like that, and you can get back to them, let them GROW! They can even grow for a couple of more weeks if they stay moist enough. When they are ripe they will often change to a more yellow color. You can cover with a plump layer of leaves to retain moisture and to keep others from finding them. I had a friend let some grow in his yard last season for 28 days!

Hi just checked a couple of my "hot spots" for finding morels were picked clean of hundreds of tiny 1 to 2 inch morels hardly enough to make a good meal hahaha fools are everwhere.

It was for others... I found next to nothing this year... Going out on my last trip tomorrow, but after the past few weeks... I'm not expecting much.

[egkstruggle]

man this is TOTALLY awesome yea... i remember as a young lad growing up in kentucky my grandfather would take me in the sticks to hunt these. they dont grow wild here in the united kingdom, bummer huh?? do you know of ways you could GROW morels? if so let me know .... cheers mate

[spaceman455]

Hi, I'm sorry but I don't know how to grow em but I'd be more then happy to air-mail you some next spring when they come out again let me know and I will send you my contact info. It was close to 40 years ago when along with my dad I found my first Morel ! I've been finding them every year since....... my dads family is from the United Kingdom. Take care.

[egkstruggle]

That is really grand of you. I cant wait to see more videos.

[jtjjbannie]

I found a starter kit at GMHP on the intrnet,Ihave'nt got it set up yet, but I don't see why they would'nt grow in your neck of the woods. Good luck my freind! P.S try gourmet & mushroom products.

i love morels i found a great spot for them near my house and brought back a whole grocrey bag full of em

[hiyouguys13]

wats the best type

[MycologyMIKI]

hi hiyouguys13, the bet morel would have to be Morchella Esculenta, "The White Morel".

[pickppanther]

do you hunt mushrooms in essexs park

[spaceman455]

Essexs park is a great place to find Morels, one year I found over 50 pounds of them there, after yesterdays 80 degree temps then the rain that followed they should be popping up all over ! GOOD LUCK !

[ELPRICKO]

Mark... nice! I'm a fellow Morel-Enthusiast and we had an incredible day out! If you don't mind I'd like to share this clip with you! No beer-bottle sized Morels yet this year, but Missouri is definitely a good Morel state!

[iriemike420]

i havnt looked for any here in S.E. Iowa yet will probaly go soon when the weather starts to get a little warmer. should be a good year.

[spaceman455]

Hi, I looked a few days ago and you can sure smell em but couldn't see any yet. I think its going to be a great year for finding Morels due to the amount of snow and rain we have had so far this spring. This cold spell is going to slow things down a little not to worry though they will be here soon ! another rule of thumb is when you see the lilacs blooming the Morels will be out as well ! GOOD LUCK !

[iriemike420]

yea i know about the lilacs i have two big lilacs bushes in my yard i have been watching for awhile thanks for the heads up.

[arusebud]

Is May usually the month to hunt morels? Do some areas have them all year?

[vangboi05]

Morel season is pretty short so i've heard. Some where from early september to october.

[tallbudlight37]

uh no dude. in the spring. and it depends on your state. in northern michigan i start looking in april if the snows gone and find em till june.

[renatpl]

Are there mushrooms like this in Australia?

[spaceman455]

Good day mate

[Jawstaysun]

I WANT TO GO MUSHROOM HUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing/posting.

[JxSyborg7]

I wish we had them also in Potugal...

Enjoy them, though I have never tasted one I know they're delicious xD :D
