I don’t mind you asking. Thanks for your question. I’d say 3600 would be the lowest I’d hunt now. I was between 3800-4200’. Things are drying out on the east side so look for areas that are sloped and shaded from the mid day sun. Good luck.

@@joepodunk284 that’s a good idea. In the Mount Hopd National Forest, you only need a permit if you want to pick more than a gallon of mushrooms per day. Otherwise you are good, provided you aren’t picking in any off limits areas. The ranger station has mushroom maps.

Another cool video. I just can't stop admiring porcini boletes that are growing in Spring! That breaks all my previous conceptions about this King of all boletes. I'm from Russia, where they only show up in late summer and fall.. But seeing them in spring.. This is surrealistic!

Cannot wait to get out of town early on Sat and make my way to the Eastern side of MT, where I so much hope to find my morels. Haven't hunted for them yet this season, only for half-morels very early in April. I've also just watched a dozen of your videos - on mushrooms, fishing, edible plants hunting - fascinating! I'm also into fishing since I was a kid and always looking for new places and new species of fish to catch here in Oregon. Have you ever fished for white fish here?

So we head that way. First service road we came to I drive down. Looking pretty promising! But still not finding anything. I had to go pee so I went and found a tree and remembered you saying that's when you find them. While I was peeing my daughter was waking around checking things out. It wasn't until I came out of my "forest potty" that I saw 2 blondies! First 2 I've found in a good 6 yrs! Thank you for your amazing teachings!

Great video. Great points. I really want to go this weekend. Maybe see you out there - that would be pretty funny.

I am really interested in seeing if I can match that with mushroom findings.
@DADventurerNW 29 күн бұрын
That is interesting. The soil needs to get to 40 degrees for morels to pop. That may be important this weekend, if you are hunting near the snow line, but at 2,500-2800', the soil is well above that temp now. Let me know how that works out for you.
