Yellow Morel Jackpot around dead elm (2023 season)

I find a crap-load of big gorgeous yellow morels under one large recently dead elm tree in the woods of northeast Ohio.
I filled my small mesh bag and had to take my shirt off to use it as a bag to carry the rest of the mushrooms out of there!

Dang! You have yourself a hot spot for life and you will be able to pass it on someday!

I wish! Morels that grow around living trees is a different thing and those spots can come back every year for decades. But, this huge dead tree will only produce morels for 2-3 years. I'll check it this year and post a vid, if I remember!

That is insane! I’m in middle Georgia. I found 9 yesterday and found 12 more this morning. I marked and left them. Will be checking on them in a few days after the rain comes Friday and Saturday.

They look a bit past prime and dry but they will work.....the perfect ones outnumber the old ones.

There were many perfect ones! It was getting late in the season, so anything not rotting or shriveled up was a gift. Thanks for watching! What part of the country do you hunt in?

Awsome! That's a real jackpot for sure. Check that tree next year and give an update, it's interesting how it changes from one year to the next. Congrats.

When the Bark is just cracking like that is when they are the best it will go downhill over time but by the time the Bark has fell off completely they will pretty much be done

Thanks for watching! I don't know anything about hunting in MO, but I know you either need to know someone who can take you to a spot, or you gotta put the miles on the boots and find one on your own. Took me many years to figure my area out! Get out there this spring, good luck!

Finding 'em is always a great feeling, whether it's 1 or 100! True story about the day I shot this video: I had already been hunting for like 2 hours and had a full bag when I found the motherload in this video. I didn't know what to do because I didn't have another bag. I ended up taking off my shirt and using it as a sack to carry these beauties out. First time I've had to do that! Thanks for watching, good luck this year

What other trees are around that? I’ve had no luck where I am lots of pines everywhere and maples.. so hard to even find elms..

@WhatLandonFinds 11 күн бұрын

Seems like elms are still kind of a rarity anywhere because of the Dutch elm disease. The woods I look for have a lot of black cherry, tulip poplar, ash (also hard to find now). I don't really look around any other hardwood. Never pine, but have heard stories... Good luck! Sometimes it helps to look in just weird places. That scrub behind your workplace, the strip of woods next to Walmart or the golf course, wherever, lol! Some of my best places aren't really in the woods, at all.

Have you check this spot again this year2024 especially since so many people found early flushes..i found 31 this season mostly southeast ohio..curious how many total u got from this motherload and more curious if any are up around it now

@WhatLandonFinds Ай бұрын

I don't remember the exact number I picked here, something around 60-70 maybe? My sister and I visited this tree last weekend and found about a dozen yellows. It's been a good season, for the most part! GLHH

When elms start dropping thier bark you won't find many if any.

@WhatLandonFinds Ай бұрын

I'd say that's true most of the time, especially with small-average age elms. I have found morels around huge elms for years after they lost their bark. Good luck this season!
