Hey Randy, in this video your son collected all the logs that seemed like they were cut down by someone with machinery. Mind giving some insight on where that is from? Was it rejects from logging? Or removed for road building? Something else?

The chunks I took in this vid were left there from when some other harvesters and myself were cutting the deadwood off the road while scouting for ground.

Morel soup is delicious! As a Finn, I was surprised that you didn't boil the morels first to remove the toxins. Then I learned that Canadian and Finnish morels differ significantly in their toxicity. In Canada, "morel" usually refers to true morels from the genus Morchella, which are safe to cook as they are. However, in Finland, morels often refer to false morels, specifically Gyromitra esculenta. These mushrooms are highly toxic due to the presence of gyromitrin, a compound that can break down into monomethylhydrazine (MMH), which is toxic and potentially fatal. You have to boil these at least twice before cooking.

Actually, you boil them three times. And the last time you throw out the water… with the morels in the water. Morels in scandinavia are known to have rare specimens which have 400% the amount of toxin. Then it doesn’t matter how many times you boil them, you’ll get seriously ill. Several experienced morel foragers in scandinavia have picked and eaten morels for many years(>10 years) without problems, then suddenly gotten terribly ill because of a single highly toxic specimen. The recommendation nowadays is, don’t eat them at all.

Having come across four different Grizzly bears in AK while fishing, I can say it is infinitely more terrifying than you ever expect it to be when you do see them. They just "appear", and closer than you would think something that big could sneak up on you. Scariest encounter was a sow and her two cubs. The bear did not even do anything aggressive, and it was still scary. Knowing what sows will do to protect cubs makes it pretty harrowing.

Growing up in Minnesota, we had them in my rural backyard. Small forest between us and my neighbor, and my sister and I would fill up buckets. It was crazy to see them in a suburb, because my dad would always take us out to farms and whatnot with large forests. Either way, they really are a delicacy and even better cooking them fresh. You lose quite a bit of flavor drying them out. That being said, I wonder if the ones you're finding in a burned down forest taste different, because the ones we always found weren't nearly as dark in color. Edit: Not sure if you mentioned it, but if anyone wants to go searching, be aware of the "false" morel. They can be fatal if consumed in large quantities. Easiest way to tell the difference is, they're darker and the stem is solid when cut, not hollow like an edible morel.

This was awesome!!! I’m Canadian and I’ve been watching KZbin channels of people in Oklahoma picking morel mushrooms and I was thinking geez I wish we had that kind of mushroom here in Canada and then I watch a video of yours about beekeeping. I looked up your channel and discovered this video and was gob smacked that you found morel mushrooms in British Columbia!!! The crazy part I’ve actually been to Prince George BC when I was young in high school about 40+ years ago because they were considered our sister city because they also had a band/orchestra so we did an exchange where we went and stayed with a local family and then they came to Ontario and stayed with us. The only thing I discovered back then was a big drug scene in BC and I wasn’t accustomed to that and it really turned me off. But I would absolutely love to go and check out their morel mushrooms. Very cool! Absolutely LOVED your video. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁

I live in BC. The amount of forest fires/smoke we had to deal with for like 7 years straight was awful. Ruined so many summers. But it's the way of the land here, ponderosa pine cones have evolved to germinate after being burnt, and their lower branches slough off naturally as the tree grows so fire is less likely to climb up the tree and candle it. With destruction and tragedy brings new growth and new opportunities. The cycle of life and death. Glad yall are having such a good time and presumably making a ton of money!

I can only imagine that the fires in North America were a lot more prevalent before colonisation. Natives worked with the land , they didn't try to tame it. Large forest fires are part of the natural cycle for sure.

@@kevfit4333 In what is now BC and the Yukon, many first nations actually practiced controlled burning pre-colonization, to cleanse the forest and prevent build up of deadwood which can lead to out of control fires. Maybe that's a practice that should be considered again, but with modern equipment. The largest fire in BC history happened in 2023, in an area where controlled burning was traditionally practiced.

0.4% of the province has ponderosa pine trees. Seems kinda like an irrelevant fact in regards to BC fires unless you're just eagerly waiting on other species to evolve like that

@@sylvariatzaka an article written called pondering the pine was the initial claim I saw of 0.4 which seemed lower than expected. a UBC forestry department study on distribution of tree species showing sub 1% coverage seems to back it up. They grow mainly in areas which have been heavily developed or deforested in southern BC due to people also liking the conditions ponderosa pine do. They also don't like the colder winters most of the province gets.

I am not at all an experienced mushroom forager, although I've went mushroom picking a couple of times, most of them with my grandpa, but I can still say that you are doing an amazing job! If not for all that camera work, you would be on par with Phil most likely😂 But this is why what you are doing is so important and amazing, showing the whole process, the atmosphere. Thank you, Alex!

Hello Alex. Wonderful video. As I have said to Carl, I absolutely love your videos, the aesthetic and the choice of frame you use. Thank you for sharing your experiences. My wife is an avid mushroomer so we are often out looking. I picked my first Morille ever this year. My eyes are not as they used to be so most often I miss them, but my wife and son never miss a beat. My favorite mushroom is called Laccaria amethystina - considered not choice varieties, but eaten raw in salad or added to a pasta sauce, they are wonderful. I look forward to the next video with anticipation.
