Both, I never feel like those are worth any time or energy

@@whisker_biscuit_outdoors1385 makes sense. Appreciate the response and the videos. I'm in Columbus Ohio myself and am just starting this year mushroom hunting. These videos have helped

Thanks man, I appreciate it and good luck to you

Same man, last few years been good there. 4-5 years before that not so much

I have other videos on black morels that might be helpful

You should always carry regardless, don't be a victim.

They coming man

That place loves wind, lot of people hunt there and still it produces

We also carry, x 2 at least. One of the counties we morel hunt in had the highest per capita number of confirmed meth "labs" in the U.S. a few years ago. The numbers are down nowadays due to the pseudoephedrine laws they enacted (most of the meth is now brought-in) but we still come across outdoor "lab" sites occasionally. Even just running into a drunken blow-hard who thinks that area on public ground is "his spot" is a potential shooting scene. I prefer concealed carry, but we open-carry at least one each while mushroom hunting, & that has staved off the drunks & tweakers for the most part.

Let me know how you do man

Give’em Hell

Yes Sir, will do! 😁🤣

Nothing in MN either. It would be cool if we didn't have such bipolar weather. It keeps getting up to 60-70° and back to freezing.

Looks like I should abandon that spot

Thank you sir

Cutting does nothing for future yields. Mushrooms grow from a mycelium mat not a root. A mushroom is a fruiting body just like an apple. Cutting and leaving the base has actually been studied to have more negative effects than plucking. You're leaving a rotting stump more susceptible to disease and pests, that can damage the mycelial mat.

I think you need to study your morel ecology a bit more. Fungi do not have roots. Most often, they will not spore immediately after picking (however mesh bags provide the best air circulation and prevent sweating in a plastic bag), lastly, they do not grow back the following year from the exact same "stump" as you harvested the previous year.

​@@MichiganShroomer😮...You finding any? I just started finding some a few days ago 😊

🙏

Thanks man

Bro I unlocked the morel code because of your videos!!!! Straight to the point u are you!!!!! Thanks 🙏 so much finding them left and right now Iam right by the pa Ohio line !!!! Ty man!!!!

Definitely earlier than last, I know for sure in about 7-10 days when we see how much rain we get during this heat

@@whisker_biscuit_outdoors1385 I live in Southern Ontario and I found a big yellow on April 10th, which is really early. I normally don't start finding small ones until about the 25th of April and it doesn't start getting good until the first week of may. So it seems like it's a week or two early here as well, but I'll know better when I go out for a little look tomorrow. How about numbers for you? Does it seem like a better year than last? Best of luck with the rest of the season brother

Numbers are down I believe from last year so far. Definitely jealous of the fishing opportunities in your area man

@@whisker_biscuit_outdoors1385 I do a lot of small stream trout fishing here. Lots of great browns, some spots with brookies and some good steelhead fishing. Some great Smallmouth as well. It's nice having the great lakes in every direction LOL What do you like going for?

@@joet81I been checking my spots as well in Whitby side Even today not a peak yet , unless you are south than me on Niagara side 😢

Sorry to scare you off so quickly. Here’s a tip though, just identify as a mushroom and you can find them whenever you want

They are coming man, you’ll be good soon

@@whisker_biscuit_outdoors1385found about a hundred this year so far way better year for me than last year if you remember me complaining last year

It was decided by my parents

Dude do you remember me

I absolutely do now man, how you living?

Great man !!! Digging your morel videos

Were you living these days?
