You have a specific way of speaking/teaching that is so natural, inviting, and holistic rather than rote memorization or blow-your-mind-facts. I think your handle "Learn Your Land" perfectly fits with your presentation, where it's mostly just about encouragement. I've been following along and learning for several years now, but have never said Thank You!

@deanminor1998 3 ай бұрын

Problem with your flowering elm trees is that you don't really find all that many mushrooms by live elms. Look for dead elms,ones that have died year before and before the bark falls off. The best thing to look for is when the upper branches turn white

@troyclayton 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. I'm outside the range of slippery elm, here in Maine- but I can almost always tell an American elm at a distance by it's growth habit. Winter is great for this. edit: Dutch Elm Disease still has a strong hold here, I've watched most of the majestic elms I've known for decades die. But, lots are setting seed and living for many decades. Every year I look at the canopies of the ones I've been watching, looking for flagging limbs.

Not that anyone would ever confuse the two, but pawpaw trees fliwer very early as well. They had dark purple almost leathery flowers. They do have an extended flowering season as well. If a frost kills the early ones they will continue to put out flowers later on, ensuring at least a partial crop of fruit.

Here where I live there’s a local Facebook page dedicated to morels and everyone involved “reports” on the areas where they hunt morels. We take a dated photo of any mushrooms we find and post them to the page so that everyone knows what’s going on. We don’t exactly pinpoint our locations but we do name the county we’re in. Every year you can literally watch the progression of the season from south to north. It’s pretty cool to see and it pretty much helps you to know “when” the season starts peaks and ends.

Lived in the Poconos for about 5 years and only found them around ash trees. Moved to Maine and haven't had luck finding them near ash or anything. Since I had luck with finding them around ash in The Kettles of Wisconsin, I just stuck with elms because there are not many of them since the Dutch Elm came through decades ago.

Glad you mentioned that little tidbit, I always look for trees that have bark missing and lying on the ground. Usually in fairly large strips. They're almost always Elm trees and great places to find "murgels" as we call them. I've even found them underneath the dead bark on the ground. I also search for old apple orchards as well, shrooms grow there too. Berry patches are another. I live in western Pa also.

Don't tell anyone but the trick for morels in BC is to find riverbanks and valley bottoms with mature cottonwoods and no maples. There's even some secret productive spots right along the Fraser as far downstream as Burnaby. But so much of this province burns down every year that fire morels are way easier to find nowadays.

Morels grow under any trees, in MO we usually look for Ash trees, any tree with a rough protruding bark seems to catch Morel spores being blown around by the wind, then it rains, washes the spores to the ground. That’s how Morels March on. There is no certain tree that they grow under.

As soon as I saw your thumbnail... I HAVE ELMS! I thought maybe they were all long dead, but I recognise that bark. I tap Maple trees in the spring, so I'm always looking for more(mostly Reds) to tap while I'm out collecting, and I noticed some trees with that same bark that would get me all excited for a minute that I "found another one", then deflated when I saw the branch structure and left wondering what they were. Now I'm excited about them again because of Morel potential, and I know what they are now. It's the simple things.
