My first Morel of the season!!

Our channel shares our Utah Mushroom Hunting Adventures. We focus on edible mushrooms, and share what we know about what we find.
We want to help the amateur mushroom hunter learn how to find and identify edible mushrooms.
Today we check our Morel Mushroom spots in the lower elevations with no luck, but we also check our higher elevations and find our first morel of the season. I am expecting quite a few more in the next few weeks!!
Never eat a mushroom without 100% positive identification. Here is the Mushroom's of Utah Facebook Page you can use for help with mushroom identification ...

When asking for help with identification, remember to ...
1. Take a close up picture of the cap
2. Take a close up picture under the cap
3. Also of the stem and the base of the mushroom.
4. Mushrooms of Utah may ask you to take a spore print, so be prepared to do that if asked

Thank you much I loved the panning shots and how you showed the cottonwood tree from a distance!

[@UtahMushroomHunter]

Thank you. I am glad that is helpful. I will try to do that more often.

This weather has been crazy. Thanks for the updates and tips!

[@UtahMushroomHunter]

Thank you John for watching. How has your mushroom hunting been going?

[@stevee.7419]

Thank you for sharing your forays. I’m going to step out and have a look today, myself.

[@UtahMushroomHunter]

Sounds great Steve!! Be sure to come back and let me know how you did!!

Right on

[@UtahMushroomHunter]

Thank you. Lola, have you been out looking this year yet?

[@luaulola]

@@UtahMushroomHunter yes! Too dry in the valley- except for some oysters but they are past prime. I went up in the cottonwood canyons and there’s still quite a bit of snow. Going to try Utah county here this week after this rain

Great job on your first find of the season! We are going to make some fun videos together, I will be making a lots each weekend with the family this summer. I would say that sometimes they are close to the snowbanks but typically downhill .25 - .5 miles from the snowbank for the first flushes of the season in the canyon morels, I did find the first southern facing slope morels last week which is interesting since I typically find them on NW - NE facing slopes.

Thank you Tyler. It was nice to finally find my first one this year. I am used to finding more of them quicker. This year is certainly unusual. I Love Love Love this cooler weather and rain we are getting. I am hoping that it helps to pop some of the lower elevation morels up before it is too late. You likely saw that I referenced you in my video. I am looking forward to making a video or two with you.
