Spring Mushrooms / Morels and Spring Kings

Spring Mushrooms!
Morel / Morchella
Spring King / Boletus rex-veris
I filled my first few mushroom hunting springs searching for morels, at that point I knew little of any other spring mushroom worth hunting. I had no idea of what I was missing out on until the Spring King and I met, now they each get equal attention from me during the spring.

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

[@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.

[@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:)

[@Passionformushrooms]

Wowww! Amazing Mushrooms! 👍😍

[@lovethemack]

Really enjoyed this

[@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.

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 :)

You are THE MUSHROOM QUEEN.

[@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.

[@tekklamerus2787]

I just bought a book about edible mushrooms in alberta . Can't wait till spring

[@ecodumpster1842]

so cool

[@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.

[@skeetercoddiwomple6269]

I found my first spring bolete today!

[@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.

[@hookandcookfishing]

i think I'm in love

[@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

[@kp8997]

Great videos! Very lighthearted and fun. You might consider adding some look a likes to your forays. Maybe ( Butyriboletus primiregus ) when describing the B . rex viris and Gyromitra species when describing Morels. Helps to know what you Don't want also! Happy hunting!

[@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

[@christophercatani8820]

I really like your channel!

[@filiuseliul6851]

Saludos Amiga Excelente Video Chicas como tu Enamoran GRACIAS por compartir tus conocimientos

[@mckenziek2562]

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

[@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 😣

[@Dontcallmeshirley541]

Can we get a beautiful women of mycology calendar going! Haha amen

[@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!!

[@scotts8939]

Thank you. You’re very charming!

[@seanhitchcock4370]

It's so funny watching the inch worm

[@paulking962]

You had me at mushrooms 🍄

[@timothymitchell8310]

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

[@rhyswilliams9618]

Amazing video!

[@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

[@TheReaLjNeL]

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

I am a Lorax love the Green of it all Rarrw

[@kalfaxplays7899]

nice video very good info :D

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@billmitchell7731]

Do morel mushrooms grow bigger or do they pop up and stay the same size during there life span for that spring.

[@wolfmangosan539]

Tell ya girl not enough of us foragers love the videos I just ate me some Oster mushrooms farm eggs and ramps still looking for first morals of year tho

[@DiscoveryWonders]

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

[@crittercosner2877]

Looked like yellow root beside the morel.

[@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.)

[@eveny119]

You didn't mention if there were any poisonous look a likes to the spring king, are there?

[@Jackerlernychannel]

I'm so jealous of your life style

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

Did I just hear my guy from Mushroom Wonderland? Sounds like him!

[@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!

[@ryanwphillips]
