You know he was serious about those mushrooms when he didn’t add nutmeg to them.

When overcoming the vice of Nutmeg indulgence, A good man sticks to his Morels.

Morels are sinfully delicious, the “bottled woods” comment is spot on. They’re so savory and earthy

Im from India & this mushroom is one the expensive ones if bought at the market, we call them 'Gucchi". They are widely grown around the states close to the upper Himalayan region during the monsoon season. My mom makes an amazing curry dish with these & a wicked chilli fry too. It was a pleasure to hear Jon talk about these mushrooms with so much enthusiasm.

I find it hilarious that Jon talked about nothing but mushrooms for almost 13 minutes. There isn't even any padding there, just pure mushroom enthusiasm. Can't blame him though, they look great.

[@Schulzffw]

Thats the kind of enthusiasm, that i picture when Tolkien discribes the hunger for mushrooms, Hobbits have.

My family has hunted these for generations. The salt bath removes bugs living in the mushrooms. Do it for minimum 20 to 30 minutes. You'll be surprised!

My 3 year old son decided not to take a nap today and, instead, watched this video with me. He was so enamored by the mushrooms, Jon, and the outdoor cooking that he has insisted on watching it several more times. Now he wants me to find all of the videos of you cooking outside. I must say, I’m a proud mama. Thanks for the awesome (and family friendly) videos!

The wicker basket is a nice touch too. For everyone looking to pick mushrooms, go for a container with holes. that way the spores spread as you walk, hopefully sowing more mushrooms next year.

I don't think I've ever seen John this enthusiastic about any food

I have so many fond memories of morel mushrooms. My dad always used to take my little brother and I out and hunt for them in Indiana, even in his final days with cancer. We actually put a wooden morel mushroom carving in his coffin they were that important to the family. It's something I still do now at 30 years old, and when my son is old enough I plan on doing the same for him. It's such a fantastic way of learning about the forest and the importance of conservation. If you live in an area where morels, heck even other edible mushroom varieties are common, I definitely suggest going out at least once! Just be careful not to get on anyone's land, some people get a bit flustered about you stealing their gold haha.

Some of my earliest memories are hunting for Morels with my father. He would clean and cook them that evening and the kitchen would smell like heaven.

[@SaltySalman]

I love how hes so passionate about the mushrooms

[@civlyzed]

I remember searching for morels with my dad when I was a kid. He was fanatical about them and we would spend hours searching, but it was well worth it. I miss the old man, he taught me a lot.

[@jeffnickels6199]

They’re called “Dry land fish” around here. It’s interesting that you’ll usually find a big bagful of morels when you hunt for them, and all it takes is some flour, salt and butter to make a very good meal for a family. Add in some wild greens in a salad and you definitely won’t go hungry

[@jimappleton5550]

A friend here in Oregon who grows organic cherries was frustrated by a fungal infection in his orchard. He mowed it for years.

[@bobjones1938]

I grew up in Indiana; Jon’s enthusiasm for morels is totally par for the course in the Midwest, at least among morel hunters. He’s dead on about the various superstitions/traditions/etc that folks have when picking.

[@toddposton869]

When hunting wild mushrooms, remember to doust a little mushroom ketchup on your clothes to kill the scent.

[@robintitanstudios6455]

You can tell how passionate Jon is about this dish from the way he talks about it. Never seen him put such emphasis nor criticize the older recipes as sacrilegious. Got me hyped up for these mushrooms lol

[@acethememelorde4377]

I think we found the one thing Jon loves more than nutmeg 😂
