“Leave some behind, no matter what you find.” I like that, and it rhymes.

[@cottageindustry3040]

Adam is absolutely adorable and he seems like such a genuinely sweet and kind person. I love watching his videos!

[@montuckyhomegrown]

Yea adams are pretty great, i agree i LOVE Adam Haritan

[@jolaylee2914]

You aren’t like the other foragers that I’ve watched here, most of them will take mostly what they’ve found and won’t leave anything behind for other foragers. You care for our mother nature that’s why you are so abundantly bless, keep it up!

You've made me SO happy with your knowledge, enthusiasm and ethicacy ----- THANK YOU.

[@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320]

I would like to formally thank you for your identification guides, I live in Scotland but many of the fungi found in the Americas are also found here in the UK or a similar variety. My dog has either a benign hemangioma or hemangiosarcoma of the spleen, I feed him shiitake mushrooms that can be bought in most large stores but I also forage for anti-tumor/cancer mushrooms such as wood ears and turkey tails for him. He was diagnosed with the tumor over a year ago and is still going strong at age 14.

[@BushmanAOD]

We still call 'em Jews ears in the ''British'' Isles dont we? ;) Auricularia auriculi judae, I must have harvested a good 2kg of those last year around London. I like to mix chestnuts, shiitake and buttons and make a nice mushroom soup which I got off of ''titlis busy kitchen'' YT channel, most of it ends up in the freezer of course but its great to stock up on, have you thought of growing mushrooms on logs in your garden?

[@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320]

BushmanAOD I would if I had a garden but I live in an apartment, but I have inoculated several logs and trees with lions mane and two oyster types in a local woodland.

[@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320]

And yes I do sometimes refer to them as Jews ears but it's a mistranslation of Judas' ears as they grow on the type of tree he hung himself from.

[@BushmanAOD]

@@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320 cool! I've done the same quite a few times, I have multiple logs in my rental garden at the moment, I'm following the sepp holzer method of burying the logs about 1/3rd deep so they such up the moisture naturally Cheers

[@BushmanAOD]

@@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320 haha was just wondering if you were being careful with all that ''anti semitism'' BS going around on mainstream news these days :)

[@nathansnavely1351]

Watching this video in the cold of winter makes me feel so much better for what’s to come this spring in Nebraska! Love your videos Adam!!!!

[@LearnYourLand]

Thanks, Nathan! I too am looking forward to the spring season.

[@kenjohnson5498]

Been a while, glad to see you posting. I share your videos to those who need help identifying, probably the most informative videos out there. Keep up the great work. And thank you

[@nearlnathanearlnearl]

I love deer mushrooms! I slice them pretty thin and throw them in a skillet with oil and some rosemary. If you let them get crispy, they taste like French fries!

[@ethanlevy8778]

That's cool

[@Sara-pw1dx]

Hi, Adam! Your videos are all at the top of my playing list. I love the little blip with the "Tick Interruption", please show the best way to get rid of them, flick them off, avoid them, protect from them, . . . natural and unnatural solutions (what ever you know can work for us). Us foragers need to stick together. You as always: inspire, and inform us, from the midst of the woods, we, who may be sitting on the edge of this spectacular wild paradise that we call our forests. (We might just be sitting on the edge, because of those, could be, Lyme carrying ticks, hidden spiders and stealthy snakes.)

[@donnabirnbaum6580]

You are a brilliant light during these dark times!

[@hobesmcgee8408]

Your content is ridiculously detailed and informative; the videography is excellent to boot. I often re-watch your videos as its so information dense. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this high quality work to share with the rest of us.

[@chasmofsar2691]

Why do I not have any friends like you? I absolutely love watching your videos and finding out new things. So cool!

[@oldmanpatriot1490]

Love those shrooooom's.....! We have 2 more hunts planned to our annual northern spot. 800 acres of beauty. I cant wait. We usually find 3 or 4 sacks full... And yes,, I agree whole heartedly,, Leave some behind. Grandma always said to keep your spots good, leave the small ones and dry ones plus carry a mesh bag.. Not sure if its true or not but that's what we have always done. Seems to work for us. Happy hunting everyone.

[@Ohsnapski]

Idk, I think it would be pretty damn fun to go into the woods and find every mushroom you’re looking for every single time hahaha

[@jfiery]

It takes a special kind of ahole to thumbs down a video like this. Well done bro

[@digemsmacks5690]

Some of those have to be on accident. Yes it happens because I just did it as I was scanning back to catch the name of the deer mushroom. Now I caught it in time n unselected it but it does happen

I've been waiting for this upload! I'm having a great spring, I've found over 80 morels, plus an abundance of pheasant backs.

[@jimconverse5343]

I was a teacher for 34 years so really appreciate your excellent teaching. You are amazingly knowledgeable and your enthusiasm is infectious. Thank you.

[@sambulate]

Adam, I really liked this video: you did your usual technical stuff, but also explained and demonstrated cooking methods, and took us with you on a fun search. Thanks for all you do!

[@VladFredK]

Boy, you are amazing. Your knowledge of mushrooms is amazing.

[@2xkonan]

Morels are my favorite spring mushrooms to find for sure, just something about finding a patch of them is so satisfying to me 🤷‍♂️😂

[@havenpiper]

Simply splendid!! I always love seeing you teach! Leaving some of everything you forage as a token of gratitude is great advice! Thank you Adam!

[@ScottWConvid19]

Whenever I find a morel, I stop and slowly scan every future prospective foot placement, so when I see you go crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, my heart sinks...lol It never ceases to amaze me how obscurely camouflaged morels are until you find that first one, then the eyes adapt and I seem to see them everywhere! I found hundreds of half free morels that have been strictly under hickory stands. I never used to look for hickories while morel hunting, but I do now. The half frees cook down to almost nothing though, so a few hundred only amounts to sides in a couple of family meals. Doxycycline is effective if one of those little blood suckers gives you lyme disease, but if the spirochette bacteria colonize in the less circulated areas of the body, then grapefruit seed extract, cat's claw, food grade H2O2, and apple cider vinegar is a very effective combination to rid the body of it. I suffered for 6 years with lyme and it took 8 months to get rid of it. Thanks for sharing👍🏼

[@Vbluevital]

Nice comment post Scott.

[@skylar1758]

adam i have watched so many of your videos and u have not aged. yes ur hair has gone through some ‘dos but i think you are the perfect example of the health benefits of mushrooms and foraged foods!!

Missed you. Thanks for this timely video, and information for enrolling in in your course.

[@BushmanAOD]

You are such an awesome guy brother! I have been exploring quite a lot lately due to my interest in bushcraft / survival and hence have found many great places to forage and find fungi and other edibles ... here in the UK we have had a ''wet season drought'' in that it is usually our wettest season in April but we only had real hard showers this last weekend! So I should be heading out very soon. I have an awesome ancient woodland which I wild camp in often and basically almost no one goes in there at all!! I know forsure it will be a great fungi harvest there ... Thanks again man, cant wait to take a proper good look at your channel

[@LearnYourLand]

Thank you!

Mmmmmm, these look yummy! Thank you for he cooking tips too💜 happy trails

Bumper crop of morels for me this year. Found a few hundred on my first forage and literally left many more hundreds behind because they were too small. Will go back in a couple days and really load up.

Great reassurance thanks Adam! Its always helpful to see what is popping up in eastern Pennsylvania to gauge what will arrive here in Connecticut two weeks later. I noticed that Morchellas as a whole arrive two weeks later than usual this year and last year, perhaps that is the new norm

[@stevedarnall8556]

“It’s like a treasure hunt”. Yes! I get the same feeling mushroom hunting when I find some that I do when I win gambling. It’s just my most favorite activity. It’s so exciting.

Your videos have been so helpful to me. I finally found (April 2021) a patch of the yellow morel here in Oklahoma, after watching your video "6 reasons you can't find morel mushrooms." I found mine in an area of downy oaks.

Really enjoyed this. I live below state gamelands in PA and a neighbor brought us a big dish of morels from there, but I have never hunted them myself. They are good on pizza too!

South Eastern end of the keystone state here. Glad you pointed out the ticks, mate. Had to have a fully gorged deer tick removed from the back side of my knee cap a couple days ago at the quick care and get my dose of meds. I religiously check every time I go out, but those little buggers are hard to spot sometimes in hard to see places. Great finds in your video. Super stoked for the courses as well. Can't wait to learn more. Truly, much appreciated.

[@jimf1964]

Thanks so much for the videos Adam. If I didn't live about a 1000miles away, I'd take your courses for sure. You've really helped to awaken a knowledge to see our natural environment as something much more friendly.

[@wsmith4020]

It's actually an online course. You should check it out.

[@jimf1964]

I was talking about the course he does, or did, actually taking people out in the forest for walks. I know about the online course, but I've been out of work for a while, and will be starting again next week, so now isn't the time to buy an online course

[@BrewCityGardener]

Great finds! I'm start my morel hunt in central Illinois and work my way up to central Wisconsin. I will be hunting in southeast Wisconsin this weekend and I'm looking forward to a great harvest. If nothing else, just the hike in the woods is great therapy! Have a great weekend!

[@obiwanda]

Working through your back catalog of videos, you have some incredible lands you forage on! This starting up here in a few weeks will only be my 2nd season foraging wild fungi, and I haven't seen any forests nearly as nice as the places you film. I'm not far from you, relatively speaking - in the southern Finger Lakes of NY. We have plenty of state lands but the forests there seem mostly young secondary, as most of NY's state forests were purchased by the state some time in the early to mid 20th century and logged periodically. We really don't have any older forests, let alone old growth, until you get up into the Adirondacks to my knowledge. I often feel like I live in the worst area for fungal diversity

[@karabryan497]

[@ryandaley1402]

Man I got spoiled my first season hunting black morels in north west Montana. Our group throughout the season found HUNDREDS. I was like “idk everyone says this is such a hard one to find”. I think it was because we were in a very damp relatively dark forest that I doubt any mushroom hunters had been to in who knows how long, many many many years. And just had a particularly good season. Since then I’ve struggled to find even a handful at a time haha. Also living in Colorado now where there’s a lot more people out looking and I’m not sure it’s even close to as good of an environment here for them as it was there. Still plenty of other good species to find but man that morel season was unreal.
