The 5th type of Morel was the friends we made along the way

[@rundata]

So it's OK that I ate it? 😅

[@Phaedrus87]

Thanks a bundle chaps! I have been foraging for 50 years, but now, I always watch your videos on a seasonal basis. As the season starts, I brush-up before I go out nature-mumping. You've taught me much, free gratis, so the least I can do is "like" and subscribe. Great content, across platforms. Well done indeed!

[@JesterThomas_]

Love what you do on this channel, and to anyone on the fence about buying the book: do it, it's SO well structured and informative. Brilliant entry to the world of foraging

[@carlj2628]

I completely agree :)

I recently started watching your videos, and so glad I did. Thanks so much!

[@rewildingus]

great work having locations to include all those species in one video

[@WildFoodUK1]

took years of searching :)

[@stephb4012]

Spent hours out yesterday determined to find my first morel and no such luck. I open KZbin to see someone find several in one day….I’m not going to pretend I’m not incredibly bitter 😂 been looking all month and had zero luck so far! Great video nonetheless 👍

[@marca5883]

I feel your pain, having no luck myself yet...

[@ArialAElise]

Same here but honestly the person who recorded the video is probably one of the most experienced UK professional mushroom hunter!! Don't be bitter. Be grateful to know it IS available!

[@stephb4012]

@@ArialAElise Oh absolutely! I love this channel - they’re the reason behind most of what I know about foraging. I’m in a few Facebook mushroom and foraging groups too and it’s full of morel posts at the moment so I’m just like 😭

[@rewildingus]

it took me a good few years to find morels, most of the host trees of the mycorrhizal species have been wiped out by other fungal diseases making them hard to find in nature,

[@timashton1353]

I've been finding St George Mushrooms all over the place at the moment. Great videos 😊

[@paganoutdoors3193]

Do love your passion and expertise in these videos, brilliant, also now have your book ,so love going out foraging, good health and safe travels, cheers craig

[@WildFoodUK1]

Thanks :)

[@katar0t0]

Been looking everywhere in Thetford forest and so far not a single one found except for lots of false morels!

[@joetaylor486]

Outstanding video, Great information, and on a subject I adore. I have foraged these in the UK "Morel" and in Spain on a walk not sure which they were but they looked like the first ones you showed. All delicious. The Spanish ones ended up in a very nice impromptu omelette.

[@harryhack6870]

Why does the opening music make me want to go foraging, immediately?

[@bob58393]

Nice vid, I have been out looking but had no luck yet

[@helenlazoga1487]

Thanks for the video, it was great despite some mean comments. You did go to some effort for us which I appreciate. Greetings from Greece.!!!!

[@caza88ification]

Ah yes...I hate it top when shrooms start doing a terminator 2 and go back in tine to save John Connor 😂 cool vids dude👍

[@jamesnewstead7099]

So it's the 27th of April, and I have just forraged my first scotch bonnets of the year while forrageing for St George's

[@chrisstokie2361]

I'm going to have a walk in my local woods tomorrow 👍

[@debbiehenri345]

Awww, I get a lovely crop of False Morels every year in my garden. Last year, I had one grow about the size of my dog's head (Labrador). Amazing to look at - a bit disappointing that these are the only Morels I have ever seen around here.

[@rickybus8525]

Here in Sweden and in Finland we still eat them, just boil it 2-3 times for 5 min each changing water in between. Dry them after boiling then cook them like any other morel

[@robking4437]

brilliant .....might have to go for a wander over our fields ..April 19th ...but still frosty and cold (central France)....but just maybe !

[@marca5883]

Great tips many thanks💚🇬🇧🌱

[@pepperkoop]

I love morels!!

[@marielg9143]

I didn't know morels grew there. weve had a good year too

[@StupotTaylor]

I think the time may have come to… and I say this with all the goodwill possible… to mic up. 🎤

[@WildFoodUK1]

I have one now for the next one :)

[@ArtichokeHunter]

ha, in the US we call esulenta the white morel and people get so annoyed when people say they found esculenta in the US. (in my area everyone swears by tulip poplars, jealous that you can find them in so many different habitats)

[@B.Weedster]

It's may first here in Connecticut USA and no morels yet for me. I am hopeful though

[@charliebrown6850]

I find them near Prunus (cherry) trees

[@StupotTaylor]

Ooo, I know the location with the deer fence! 🎉

[@nate.2.2]

Could swear there's wild strawberry plants in the pics around 8:51

[@wolfenstein6676]

It could be the leaves of wood avens too.

[@russellharris5314]

ive been out exploring several times to try and find morels over the last month and found nothing. today I found them growing in a raise bed that I put together in autumn last year. I have no idea what filler I used to build the bed or where the spores come from but im going to spread the spores everywhere I can now to grow more next year

[@lostinaveyron2279]

I was wondering about foraging mushrooms in graveyards. There were some recent articles regarding the pollution issue due to chemicals used in the embalming process seeping into groundwater and soil. With mycelia networks being so vast underground & their ability to absorb pollutants (hence why we don’t generally forage close to busy roads etc), I would assume that there’s a danger of mushrooms foraged in graveyards carrying toxins from the embalming process.

[@WildFoodUK1]

Those chemicals should be 6 feet down and shouldn't come to the surface.. Mycelium does not go that deep

[@lostinaveyron2279]

So are the mycelium infused coffins not going to work then? It’s quite a new project but I’m sure you’ve heard about it. 6 feet isn’t that deep, I’m surprised mycelium doesn’t go down that far myself. Anyway, you guys are the experts of course.

[@kirkbrown8189]

Great video. Highly informative. Love your series of videos generally. Really helpful when it come to identifying fungi.

[@TheTREEHOUSE18]

I not found any yet. Wish I had. Maybe I will. Lol

[@WildFoodUK1]

Keep looking :)

[@SammfanSeeSamejammiefiarris]

It wasn't hollow an it was in the bottoms in rich damp soil we had to rinse alot as there was sand in it.

[@SammfanSeeSamejammiefiarris]

Always enjoy your video's. Im 56 an when in foster care at 13 my fstr mom took us hunting an ours looked like a coral or brain, it was huge we made porkchop sized steaks. She called them morals but i have yet to see any. What could it have been. Been hooked on shrooms ever since? Thanks i am in Oklahoman USA.

[@junkbarny6958]

Maybe cauliflower fungus?

[@SammfanSeeSamejammiefiarris]

@@junkbarny6958 I actually found them last week, the ones I had are false Morales but the Beefsteak big reds. Yummy

[@wemuk5170]

I have lots of black morels growing on my wild garlic (woodchipped) patch. Is it ok to ignore them, I mean, will they endanger my son (feet accidentally touching it)? I dugged out & threw away the other day but they keep appearing under the canopy of my neighbour’s gigantic sycamore over my side of the garden. And Epping Forest is behind our house. Now 11 of these babies popped out of the soil today. I think the fungi might have some sort of healthy relationship with the soil/sycamore but if I no-dig-ignore them, will they spread even more next spring? Help!

[@natureisallpowerful]

No morels for me yet this year

[@shaunpreston2839]

Just found a moral 13inchs tall weight 9 0z perfect may 1st 2023 hampshire england!😅

[@genevieveandriver]

Is it a British thing to go mushroom hunting in cemeteries? ❤ love your videos though.

[@honorata1935]

👍

[@ArialAElise]

ahhh thank you I had lost hope !

[@MrTarati]

Anyone found any St George's mushroom yet?

[@MrTarati]

I found some today! Spanking...not a worm in sight. North East England here 👍

[@Richjack3]

Yep, found lots in Staffordshire yesterday.

[@real_wakawaka]

woodchip morel is only on imported woodchip likely from USA

[@marca5883]

Why would we import woodchip all the way from the US? We have trees everywhere! It's a by-product of the wooding industry...

[@jonathan8524]

No semi free morels?

[@BubuH-cq6km]

3:07🤣 😂 try a butter knife it'll work better

[@e.s.lavall9219]

Marlow needs to sharpen his foraging knife if it can't handle a morel!

[@WildFoodUK1]

Yup, that was a bit embarrassing :)

[@MM-mw7ud]

13:53 13:57

[@TAMSTERMAN]

Never heard of morels

[@freshdansuki5515]

The knowledge & Determination just to make these herbal antidotes for HSV 1 & 2 is mind blowing. God bless the day I was recommended to channel, You are a God sent to my life. and that of my daughter i Humbly appreciate your work doc you are one in a million. It's a great thing knowing you Dr Ofenmu KZbin channel

[@jamesnewstead7099]

Hello if there is anyone In Norfolk uk with a morel spot please come in to the liberator restaurant at old Buckenham aerodrome and talk to me I will be willing to pay in free food or money to be shown the spot. I have found evry other choice mushroom In norfolk so would happily swap a spot for a spot but it's been neerly 4 years of searching and nothing.
