Those magic words, "We're going to Alaska for the next three months". I'm soooooo excited to see that. Safe travels.

My dad used to drag us out to hunt for these. He always said 'the first one is always the hardest' and it was true. 💚

[@mickfenton2221]

Soak your morels in salt water after picking it kills any insects in the mushrooms. Save any water you rinse your morels in after especially after cutting them up. This water contains a lot of spores and should be spread in your backyard for harvesting next season.

[@wideeyedraven15]

What? Morels can’t be cultivated…I think they are just starting this process commercially. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone cultivating morels.

[@guitjolin]

Don't soak mushrooms unless they are drying out. Cold running water and a stiff bristled paintbrush are the only way to go. An air compressor with a blower is really helpful too.

[@wyldwilms]

😋Another mouth watering video! Thank you Taku and Jocelyn. You two are awesome!💗💗💗

[@samantharupert5656]

This takes me back to the first time I found a morel. Good for y’all, they are soooooo good!

[@rayfuckingrules386]

You did a great job explaining about when to pick the mushrooms, you are a great cook as always.

[@Scratpac47]

I love morels. we go hunting for them in the Columbia river gorge and in the southern Oregon mountains. I recently bought a handmade pair of clay morel earrings at the southern Oregon makers festival.

[@emelystubbs5125]

Jocelyn, those chives are BEAUTIFUL

[@gd8374]

Taku Tuesday! Man I love it your passion is endless! Don’t ever stop being your Taku

[@debivort]

Another difference between morels and false morels is in the latter, the cap folds over and overhangs the stem. I.e. there's a gap between the bottom edge of the cap and the stem. In true morels, the pits of the cap are attached to the stem all the way down. Also, false morels have folds, true morels have pits.

[@gumballrun9881]

semi-free morels- a true and choice edible morchella sp. are not attached to the stem. See Morchella semilebera. We get a ton of them in the midwest.

[@rb5043]

Always enjoyed your contents! My kind of life. Live vicariously through you both. Keep the love and living life to the fullest 🥳

[@victorlui5955]

Cool video Taku & Jocelyn!!! Taku was so happy when he found the first morel. Foraging for mushrooms is fun, I would like to forage for magic mushrooms. Lol. 🍄🍄🍄

[@clrd4tkoff]

Omg!! I'm so glad you're back!! What an awesome video!! Great Cooking video as you have always done before!! 🤗🤗

[@thefishfamilyadventureshom693]

Very cool to see you so excited over your first Morel!! I have yet to find any but did find some false ones for the first time this year. Glad to see you showing the difference

[@ilocosnorte1785]

Wow I sure like your style of cooking. You go out find the ingredients, create something so delicious & lastly cook while rain pouring down. That's just great you 2. Take care enjoy the outdoor. Keep safe.

[@SB-xu8pi]

YES YES YES, back to Alaska!!! I can't wait to see the videos!!

[@LordLeche]

My wife and I just learned how to make pasta on our babymoon in Florence! Awesome to you see you guys making it yourselves too :)

[@dustysaurus6137]

Normally not a mushroom fan, but morels have always fascinated me, even as a kid. Something about them look so tasty, and the way people go bonkers over them. Definitely need to give ‘em a shot when the opportunity presents itself.

[@flamemonkey5]

Love the vids! Thanks for the content!

[@anuvhabvlog9782]

The quality and production of your video gets higher and higher. Keep them coming love your video 👍👍👍

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Thanks for the re editing of the video. It's awesome to see you forage for wild edibles, like mushrooms, and creating dishes with them. My dad, and his brothers were really good at foraging for wild mushrooms on his farm, in Alberta. I also had another uncle who was good at foraging for wild mushrooms. They were nice and tasty when they were cooked up. One of my (late) aunts also made pierogies, filled with beef and mushrooms. Those were good. I like dumplings of different types, including pot stickers. Can you make pot stickers, using wild mushrooms, and wild greens, that you foraged for in the woods? Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn! #TakuTuesday ✌️

[@marielynn3802]

That was fun! Thank you!

[@tobinbh3940]

[@terryblueberry]

[@jedim1ndfux619]

Morel mushrooms are delicious. I find them fairly often while hiking the woods in Minnesota (my home state) but have even found them in the tropical jungles of Hawaii! An amazing plant.

[@robertjackson7745]

Loved your presentation. Thank you. Cooking morels today in Eugene, Oregon. Purchased at our local farmer's market.

[@domkarleone5800]

[@dennistani1986]

Looking forward to more from Alaska this summer! Have you ever thought of heading to the far northen part of the state towards the Arctic ocean? Many places to explore.

[@JColeJ97]

I love morel hunting. I've tried all kinds of ways to cook them. The best for me is battered and fried in oil until they're crispy.

[@pkr45ownz45]

I love morels seasoned and fried in butter!!🤤🤤🤤

[@mitchellhart2700]

I’ve had chive flowers as a garnish! Y’all ate the whole flower!!

[@amsb4dafunk558]

Morels was one of my favorite drivers to build with It Was great when Parts-Express sold select matching tweeter pairs.

[@brandonskidmore2741]

Just can't wait to see what you cook up because you are one hell of a chef I'm trying to talk to some sponsors to get you onto a TV show cooking KZbin style and you have a battle against somebody else

[@voiddragon3439]

That jump shot was fire 🔥

[@thelinecook]

A little rain can’t stop taku from a catch and cook! Or should I say forage and cook. Haha. Still the result was absolutely amazing. Fresh pasta and morels… I don’t think it gets any better then that. That dish looked absolutely amazing and it was packed full of morels!! I couldn’t even imagine how much that would cost in a restaurant!

[@racepaquette6956]

I live about 30 miles West of Nashville Tennessee. We have a pretty good amount of Morels here. If you didn't know, Indians called them dry land fish. Give them a smell and you'll see. Behind my parents house we have found 13 edible species of mushrooms including lions mane or bearded hedgehog, sulfur shelf, chanterelles, and wood ears. You should come to Tennessee!

[@liarliar1408]

Yo, where's the beef? Lol The rain coming down though. Something about the rain, so romantic.

[@aaronaguileras8954]

It's Still Taku Tuesday somewhere lol!!!

[@filipinojacktolentino6735]

Wow thanks for boosting my morel!!!

[@longle956]

[@dannyaldama5228]

Thanks for the video yo. Now I know how morals mushrooms look like. The pasta too looks easy to make. I enjoy cooking too.

[@geri9839]

[@nicktrinh192]

Good luck in Alaska! Stay safe up there

[@duanem9765]

I need to stop watching these while I'm hungry my mouth is drooling

[@manicwhiteguy]

U can use the morel water for lots of stuff , goes great as a soup base cooking pasta is a good idea and my brother likes making stir-fry with dehydrated morels anf uses the water to cook his rice

[@Fuhrious]

Here in WV, we gather morels by the bucketful with little to no effort. Delicious

[@beachblond1968]

[@uhartak47]

[@raymondgilbert7887]

My only experience mushroom hunting was looking for morels. Definitely worth the trek.

[@pnwtroutslayer253]

you guys are awesome!

[@josephj.m.s4302]

False morels are collected and eaten during spring time here in finland, they are considered a delicacy and are also sold fresh during the spring time, of course the sellers are mandated to put up a sign not to touch the mushrooms since they are toxic when fresh

[@gregorykelley5555]

Solo stoves are awesome! I bought one for me and one for my bffs. I haven't tried cooking on it yet.

[@dannyaldama5228]

Still outstanding work Chef 👍

[@Red_Beef_Sox]

While you are up in Alaska you should look up Minndak Outdoors. They are in Alaska for the summer too. It would be cool to see some collaboration videos.

[@matthewwilcox8531]

They are amazing mushrooms i wish you found some huge ones and were able to store them more than you had i look forward to spring time every year

[@johnharder5618]

Nice video I hunt for Morels here in Ohio Mark where you find them this year and look there and down wind next year Also around where I live The location of where you find Morels is NEVER told to anyone else As many people consider the Morel worth more that Gold

Nice! Can’t wait to see the Alaska vids. Have you guys ever tried Saskatoon berries? They taste like a mix between blue berries and guava. There’s a spot just outside Anchorage that I hike at that has them.

[@davegunall1450]

Joslyn is not a "second pair of eyes"... she is the soul of your show ! IMHO

[@seanwahl2640]
