Thank you for making these videos, they are informative and entertaining. Your camera man cracks me up with the closeup of the inchworm on your shoulder, then the little R2 cameo LOL pure awesome! I’m just getting into mushroom foraging and trying to learn all I can. Your videos are super helpful. Thank you.

[@ScottWConvid19]

16:44 I have chestnut boletes that grow in my front lawn under the oak trees. My sons and I love them, because they give us the funnest faltulence. We get a regular choir going on for several hours. Now I know why. Thanx:)

[@donaldtracy2414]

I really enjoy your videos .when someone is so happy that they tap there feet together when they find a mushroom is a great sign . Keep up the great videos.

Ms. Mother Nature , your videos are excellent ! I Must say that very few modern day pretentious women would even consider exploring the forests as you do in search of mother natures treasures ! You are indeed a one of a kind lady !! Keep up your great videos !!

[@YellowElanor]

+peter bochek Thank You for the encouragement!

[@ashleyj0]

That 2nd morel looked like a pecker head, or half free. (In my part of the woods, anyway). This year I got REALLY lucky and found a good spot with a ton of beautiful, fresh morels.. so many I had to go back the next day. Probly the find of my life. It was a dream come true. Hubby wanted me to sell them 😐 HECK NO! My ma cooked them up and we shared them at a family gathering. So everyone could experience it! They were the perfect pair to my bro's asparagus from the garden 💚 It was like the greatest gift from mother nature, I'll never forget it.

[@bigfootscabin3578]

Zac! I couldn’t stop watching the inch worm while she was talking! Had to watch a couple of times just to get what she was saying! Lol

[@gordokoller]

Took me hours of google'ing and searching to find a video that helped with a positive identification of the king bolete, thank you very much, and looking forward to more.

[@neiljohnston5765]

Your videos are such fun as well as being highly informative!! Watching from UK 😊😃

[@YellowElanor]

Thank you!

[@grindlessenior]

boletes (ceps) like the spring king, which have a lot of residents (worms, bugs) can be sliced up and dried and make a great addition to sauces when rehydrated, the bugs just disapear.

[@55chh]

Here in Sweden we have a bolete ( Boletus edulis) very similar to your Spring King and it's named after an old king who liked to eat it, Karl Johan.

[@daniellegrandpa]

Well done, very informative, will be hunting the morel soon here in Pa.

[@inspiredportland9662]

I love how educational your videos are its hard finding good info especially for nw

Thanks! I don't think I have that basket anymore...it served me well for many years.

[@nielrasmussen1448]

Down here in SoCal, almost all of our edible boletes stain blue. Most of the poisonous ones have red or orange pores, most of our yellow or cream colored pored boletes are edible if not bitter.

[@john1cheree]

I really enjoy your presentation.

[@Passionformushrooms]

Wowww! Amazing Mushrooms! 👍😍

[@roontunes]

the first bolete I ever picked, stained blue and tasted like really fine steak !! I had zero problems with it.

[@johnbolton9957]

Blue staining boletes should not be eaten. Can be toxic. True name spring King... Boletus edulis

[@thecook8964]

Oh, God the majority of boletes I find are the bitter bolete 😣

[@christianpires216]

You are very lucky in finding so good mushroom

[@mattw2135]

look around the may apples patches as well and elm and apple trees for morels happy hunting :)

[@mattw2135]

+Matt W oh and when you harvest them out doors always leave some of the stem they will mostly likely come out in same spot next year or really close by. if dont break the mycelium seed to fruiting stage. so cut don't stem low and dont it pull out of the ground. that's key for yellow and blacks and your honey hole spots

[@PumaGhostwalker]

Wonderful presentation.

[@tonyrowe1455]

You're awesome! I love it when people take the time to be as thorough as you are! Im learnin alot (down in salem btw). Keep it up

[@richardsabean5781]

We get king boletus in Maine!!! I've heard them call porchinee too,,,, not sure of the spelling... but it;s Sept/Oct when i find them. I have a couple rental camps & people from Russia come & pick .I am going to look this spring tho,, if it ever comes.. Still lots of snow,, lakes froze solid yet,, been a long damn winter in Maine.. I pick a shit load of oyster's in the fall Oct & Nov,, dry em on the warming shelf of my wood cook stove. I fill 4 or 5 one gallon size jars,, love em,,, add to about everything !! Aloha

Phil McCain So glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun with this one, and yes, more to come!

[@kerrypitt9789]

I grew up on Vancouver Island. Man there were always mushrooms or well, many other things to harvest. I miss it every day. Where I am now has been very dry up until this year. I didn't find any Morels anywhere, but I found some good Fall Honey's. One day I will get back to the coast. But not yet because Shaggy Manes are on their way!!

[@Alpine3d33]

I'm sorry if I sound weird but it's so refreshing to watch your videos because you are such a beautiful woman and you love the outdoors and getting your hands dirty. I miss the days of the 80's 90's when I would go out and hike fish camp and get dirty and the neighbor girls did as well.

[@YellowElanor]

Thank you, I appreciate hearing that. I come from a family of dirt loving outdoor women :)

[@tinsoffish1810]

Yellow Elanor i cant help it...the adrenaline kicks in....and i MUST beat that squirell🐿

[@RasMajnouni]

Had some Spring King mushrooms right in front of our apartment complex here in Israel. Small and by the time I identified them they were dried. Last year i saw medium sized ones. We have had 5 years of major draught here.

[@YellowElanor]

Sorry about the draught, not good for the mushrooms or for anyone else! Hope those mushrooms come back for you, along with some good rain.

[@RasMajnouni]

Thank G-D ! We had a multitude of people in Israel go to the "Western Wall" and pray for "Rains of Blessing" and a week later were answered. The Sea of Galilee though is still at its lowest point. Its our National reservoir. Torah says that most nations are blessed with many, many lakes and Israel not, so that our water depends upon our good deeds and prayer to G-D. In the meantime I'm growing (special) mushrooms inside my room in tubs. (Wouldn't want anyone to think to eat them without planing a nice trip.)

[@lovethemack]

Really enjoyed this

[@williamwilson4669]

Love your video, I learned a lot from it.

[@boboala1]

Gary Linkoff talks about cleaning away the spongy pore layer before cooking. He also mentions the cap skin (sorry, I can't think of the correct term) being tough and needing to be peeled or something (I could be mis-quoting him)....so, what's left to eat? The stem?

[@AlAllerton]

I believe the skin layer covering the cap of some mushrooms is called the pellicle. Happy mushrooming!

[@paulking962]

[@christophercatani8820]

[@fejimush]

Fantastic! Thank you.

[@TheReaLjNeL]

Morels and White Truffles are my favorite. Although all the edible mushrooms are good eats.

[@tytoalba6573]

It would have been so cool if you had also found indian pipe. They have the same symbiotic relationship as those other two flowers. The organism is in a pipe shape (obvi) and are usually completely white or have a slight pinkish tone to them. They're slightly hallucinogenic.

[@GarickChan]

Having moved to Northern California, I am interested in taking up mushroom-hunting as a hobby. My wife and I have enjoyed focus games like Hidden Chronicles on Facebook or Criminal Case on Android and I'm guessing that mushroom-hunting may require that same sense of attention to detail. Our son is only 16mths old and I have already taken him on hikes in some of our local woods in scouting for potential future locations to check out. Thank you for your informative videos, I've just subscribed to your channel. *I am also going to see if I can find someone in the local area who is a seasoned mushroom-hunter. After many articles and videos, I'm fairly certain I will be able to identify morels but of course would prefer to go with someone who can positively ID them.

[@YellowElanor]

Awesome! There are some great Mycological Society's in that area, I'd check them out and see if they're offering any identification workshops or field trips. That would be an awesome way to get local help. The North American Mycological Association's web page has a section to see where Myco societies might be in your area. I'd also recommend Mushrooms of California: A Comprehensive Identification Guide if you don't have a field guide yet. And way to go getting your little out out there! My two year old can already identify a few mushrooms on his own, it's so fun taking him out.

[@skeetercoddiwomple6269]

I found my first spring bolete today!

[@myhandyman1]

That a girl ! you remind me of my wife 30 years ago, she was a grade school teacher. Hated it when i corrected them. I wouldn't try unless i was sure.

[@mckenziek2562]

Like the proper terms you use.. like "wormies" :)

[@DiscoveryWonders]

you're so cute. also you look very french. thanks for the class.

[@crittercosner2877]

Looked like yellow root beside the morel.

[@LukesMushrooms]

What a nice video. Why didn't I know this channel?

[@ScottWConvid19]

4:07 C'Mon! Where's your sense of adventure? That just means that there's extra protein with it. I have a lot of types of boletes that grow around my area. The best ones are pretty much gone as soon as they pop up :-/ Sometimes I will cut sections off and if there doesn't appear to be worm marks, I cook 'em good and eat 'em.

[@NNATrevor]

Her sense of adventure was at the end where she was eating one raw!!!! I wouldn't even do that.

[@ScottWConvid19]

T-swizzle Bizzle I had forgotten about that. Yeah, that is risky, for sure. Boletus season is coming up:)

[@RasMajnouni]

But the insects of any size make it not Kosher!# Even if boiled.

[@andrewbarker1190]

Really lovely video. Don't forget to use your 2 second timer on your phone for even steadier shots, especially with the Olio. It's harder with a phone than a camera but a zip lock bag with rice or sand makes for an excellent ultra low profile 'tripod' to aim a camera at a shroom base. Also, the 'pollen' you are seeing on the morel is more than likely conglomerations of spores.

[@YellowElanor]

Andrew Barker Thanks! Great tips, I'll have to give it a go. Always wanting to know more.

[@kiletochishi9925]

Passionate.

[@rhyswilliams9618]

[@YellowElanor]

Rhys Williams Thanks buddy! I appreciate you watching all my videos and the comments you leave!

[@rhyswilliams9618]

Yellow Elanor you're welcome! It would be amazing to mushroom forage with you ! Haha

[@quercus4730]

So they have a symbiotic relationship? Two types of morels. I hate to throw away bid mushrooms too.

[@boboala1]

Hi Elanor! Here in Missouri in the Ozark/Taum Sauk region I live by an oak/hickory/pine decidous forest, and even now in mid-July all neat shrooms are popping up. I had a semi fairy ring right outside my front door by my firewood pile & where spilled wood ash is. Boletes every where but most are 'Bitter Boletes'...you can eat 'em but they ain't tasty. SAy, does the Spring King habitat include Missouri?

[@YellowElanor]

Hi! Unfortunately Spring Kings have only been found in the Pacific Northwest. You'll have to come visit in the spring sometime :)

[@boboala1]

I wonder, if I seeded some morel habitat with fresh wood ash from my fireplace, if that might help create morel habitat? To be honest, I've never seen/found a morel mushroom, but I know folks around here have, and they ain't telling anybody where they found 'em! I respect that...I wouldn't either! If you are 'Yellow Elanor" can I be 'Bob Bluet'? ;)

[@YellowElanor]

Haha, you know, give it a try, wouldn't do any harm. I know of one person who found morels in their old backyard fire pit! And you can call yourself Bob Bluet, I'm neither Elanor or Yellow myself though. It's actually not even a mushroom related name, I adopted it from Tolkien.

[@rodneycaupp5962]

Maggots, eating spring kings, have got to be some good eating if you just flour them up and fry them. Let me know how they taste. While you're at it, send me some morels when (if) spring gets here.

[@scotts8939]

Thank you. You’re very charming!

[@timothymitchell8310]

Thank you!!! You answered a question about blue. Would the blue ones be better to dehydrate or just avoid altogether?

[@wolfmangosan539]

[@jimclark1374]

Some information on your global location, climate and precise time of Spring would have been useful. Looks rather warm for Spring compared to where I come from where we would still be wearing our Winter woolies until May.

[@kengell5]

It would be great if you could tell us where you are foraging- east coast, west coast and what month in Spring please.

[@mckenziekaethler3672]

West coast

[@Donklebergg]

Where were you foraging in this? I’m in Washington and avidly go for chanterelles, oysters, lobsters, chicken of the wood, morels, etc just a buncha stuff depending on the season. However the spring king STILL eludes me 😭

[@YellowElanor]

I’m in Washington as well. And, as of this week, in southern WA at about 3,000 ft elevation near Grand Fir trees-that’s where they’re coming up. That intel may help wherever you’re at.

[@Donklebergg]

@@YellowElanor I wasn't expecting a reply on a 5 year old video especially that quick haha. Thanks a bunch! Feeling hopeful this year. Are there any county's in particular that are known for their luck? I'm in Renton so kind of smack dab in the middle of everything.

[@susynbry]

Nice presentation, Rachel! I'm curious where you got your little lens bag that you wear around your neck? Who is the manufacturer? I'd like to get one.

[@YellowElanor]

+B Parks You know, it's actually just a little leather pouch I bought at a tourist shop when I was visiting Crete, Greece. I think it was intended to be a coin bag. Sorry I can't help you out more! I actually don't use it as much anymore because I bought new Olloclip lenses and they came with a lanyard and clip attachments to hold them on.
