- 6lb footage starts at about 10:44. Just goes to show that scouting is essential when hunting morels. Be patient. You will get there.

Very nice hunting, thanks from France. Here, this season is awful, too dry and too cold...
gotta love the sound they make when you pick the big ones
Hi from central Ontario! 🙋♀️
I found 2 yesterday.
Today we had a wee bit of snow! 🙄
We need more warmth for sure
Seen u on the news this morning brother ! Awesome stuff dude
Thanks!
Nice find you found them just at the right time full grown
To save your morels for later use a needle and thread make a good chain of them do not wash or soak let them dry b y hanging them up when needed for use soak wash cook and eat you can store after dry in brown paper sacks I don't know for how long because we always eat before the next year brings us more lol good luck hunting
Thanks Laura! I’ve never saved any yet. Always end up sharing. I plan to this year though
Food dehydrator, then food vacuum sealer for jars. They keep FOREVER.
and pour the wash water where you want morels to grow?
You Did Awesome Well Done Sir So Very Cool !!! I Really Miss Going Mushroom Hunting !!! I’m Now Living In Florida and Haven’t Found any Here Yet !!! And Probably Won’t !!!
Maitake Mushrooms are Popping good around here and they are definitely delicious 🤤😋
This year wasnt near as good as previous years, but i still pulled several pounds from mother nature. I was truly bummed a couple weeks ago when i called the season for this year.... ITS JUST TOO MUCH FUN!!!! But isnt it amazing that these strange little honeycombs just pop up out of the ground for such a short window, then dissappear until next season? Its just so amazingly cool to look down and see all this green and brown, like grass, leaves, and dirt, and then see a morel standing there, all out of place. Been hunting for years, and i learn something new each season!! Try and keep things fair and balanced for future shrooming. Lets go!!
In OK, I personally find mine around old growth cedars and the dead "needles" are perfect camo for morels. I haven't had the success around oaks others have but I had a nice elm Grove that was good and the easiest picking.
This guy is quite a character…. I love ‘em, only usually find them when I’m NOT looking for them. That’s a sweet mother load, PRIME condition! In 2011 I stumbled across maybe 30 just off a main hiking trail returning from trout fishing. I left half to “spawn” and took the rest, I’d probably keep more now that I know more about how they spawn. Maybe animals ate your other ones…?
Morel motivartor. Get em!
And by the way I agree with you completely this is a hobby that if you want to find things in abundance it takes time and effort and hours I sell mushrooms for the whole year long and it is a hard road to get there sometimes
It can be a hard road. It takes years to add spots to your belt. I don’t have the time like some I know, but many have been hunting for 30+ years and have tons of spots.
Thats crazy dude!
Nice find bud
Thanks!
Love when I fill my bags like that
Oh yes! I’m itching for a big haul this year.
Here in missouri (st Louis area) I have tons of luck with ash trees. That's basically all I look for. That or dead trees.
The emerald ash borer has decimated our ash population.
Only my second season but found my first two ever today, a yellow and a gray. Dont know how the heck I spotted the gray, but the stars must have been aligned.
Finally after 20 miles and 2 years lol. I understand the season is about over, but now im confident next year for scouting.
The problem here in NE PA is that our woods are DOMINATED by monster poplar, and I must have checked HUNDREDS.
Next year im going to be better prepared to locate Elm off the bat and kinda forget about poplar since it hasnt seemed to pay off.
Yep. It takes time to learn.
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 Interesting fact I forgot. The first morel I found was when looking for Ovoids.
So for the 3 I found were
Poplar//Maple//Hickory lol.
Cant wait to see what Elm has to offer! Looks like the season will extend with this perfect weather pattern!
Yeah, last year everyone and their brother was out stomping around in the woods as it was one of the few things people could do!!
So true
It's almost like morels put up a couple scouts earlier in the season and if conditions are good, the rest pop up a week or two later. What I've noticed in Southern Ontario, anyway. Happy hunting!
I believe it depends. Shady areas in the same spot will tend to pop later. The sunnier areas sooner.
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 good to know!! I'm in Southern Ontario and I found 7 today, but I think a week or so will be better. Had lots of rain last couple days. I tend to find them near conifers here. Or old apples. Happy hunting!!!
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 are you still finding them in Ohio?
It’s prime time for big yellows where I’m at in Ohio.
@@ohiomorelhunters8326that's awesome! Hope you get a ton man! I went out and hit the mother lode last evening. Huge black morels!!! And a few yellows. Unfortunately, over half of the big black morels I found were right beside an active railway track. Pretty much mixed in the stones beside the track! Probably shouldn't eat them right? Might use them in a slurry for my yard I think.
Found a tree almost exactly the same yesterday in northern Indiana. Right at 6lb within 30 ft of each other. 417mushrooms total
Nice! Was it a shady area? Could’ve left them to grow unless it’s public land. The morels I found were huge. Twenty something total at 6 lbs.
Went back earlier today to same spot as yesterday. Found 411 more. Lifetime find folks..
Wow!
Did you get any video or pictures? This is something I’d like to see
im from sw wisconsin,muscada,wi is the morel capital of wisconsin
What kind of trees do you normally scout out? Also I use a dehydrator to keep them all year and it works like a charm. Nothing quite like Morels December.
Slippery elm, sycamore, dead hickory mainly. What temp do you use to dehydrate? I let some dry in the sun and plan to store with a desiccant pack, but do you have better luck using a dehydrator?
First, Thank you for your service., Second, have you done any preserving? I have had pretty decent luck coating them with flour, then freezing. Thoughts?
I have not. I have given a lot away. I plan to this year though now that I have everything I need to do it. The consensus seems to be to fry them about halfway, put them on a pan to flash freeze them, put them in a foodsaver bag, seal them, and put back in the freezer. When ready to eat, pull em out and fry em up.
No way! Already? I havnt found a single one yet. Eastern Ohio. Trumbull county. Freezing out today... snow day.
No lol. The ones I found at the beginning are this year. The 6lbs is from footage of that same area 2 years ago.
There's literally just no way to tell with morels for 100 percent. Last year my pops and I went to what looks like a great spot. Not single one in that spot all season. This year they are flourishing like mad
Nice! A good rule of thumb is don't leave em, pick em!
I would be ok leaving 10 small ones and coming back to find a few big ones. I typically pick on public land though.
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 o yeah totally know what you mean if it's a place where no one else knows 👍
I had some uncles that had woods on many acres, they said the mushrooms pop up and don't get any bigger
About five years ago we found thousands on a creek on May 15. Grass was ankle high and it was mowed. The creek flooded on to the 3 acers of grass and they were everywhere.
That would be awesome!
Awesome video. I’m heading to Ohio this weekend. Are you below interstate 70?
Thanks. Yes I am. May want to head a little further South. We had a freeze last night and tonight. Nothing too big yet.
Thank you.
Found a good one beside the house. It was up on the snow for sure. Just found 5 blacks also.
At 1:57 if you look by the base of the tree there's one, ones you got an eye for em you can see them no matter what
Whattt??? Dead elms are THE best trees to look around, hands down! Whomever thinks differently is crazy!!!
Turkeys will devour them, as well as deer!
In Oh you should be looking around bull thistle in fields
Awesome lol downright effin exhilarating
I wish I was filming when I first saw the patch
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 not much can compare to finding a new patch lol awesome vid man
What are ideal temps.
12:09 the real footage starts.
I don’t seem to have much luck here in Maine
Sorry to hear that. Have you joined a Maine FB group about morels? They may be able to help
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 I was but Facebook decided to purge its participants I was on the hit list because of my election choice . They didn’t seem to have much luck either for as long as I was a member
I checked one of my honey holes the other day and turns out it got bulldozed in.😞😢
Oh crap. Sucks when that happens
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 broke my heart. Pulled almost 20 pounds out of there one year. Farmers always got to get that one extra acre.
I’ve had public spots clear cut before
Thank you for making this video, do you mind I ask which county.
It was SE Ohio.
Honestly if thats public land you gotta pick those man haha, small or not I will never leave any somewhere public.
Deer food … I always pinch em off to leave a little stem left in hopes that they will grow back next year
6lbs ehhh. Ok I imagine this so called 6lbs is just a guess and not scaled. 6lbs would be so many darn morels . But man tht be awesome. 20 mushrooms 6 lbs tht record breaking.
18:34 in the vid. That bowl contains what I found at that spot. These were giants.
U around Knox co area
Raad! I need some tips!I'm new to this will u check my first actual hunt vid n give me some pointers bub?
I will. I’m very busy this week, but post again on here this weekend and I’ll take a look
Why is 6 lbs a big deal? Before you were born maybe 1972 nobody knew about morels . Was common to find bushel baskets under a single tree.
I imagine so. Now foraging is a thing and you have to share spots unless you have private land to hunt.
Ok
Don't know what you mean by leaving my "channel name" but sign me up for the contest!
You’re channel name is your name on CZcams lol. It’s ok. Consider yourself signed up
This is at oak openings metro park...
Can say that it isn’t. It’s illegal to hunt in metro parks.
No reason to apologize for harvesting mushrooms.. like you feel bad or something.. maybe take up golf
Great click bait. Wow u found 3 !
Why do you gotta title this video “6 pounds of mushrooms” when literally you didn’t pick 6 pounds in the video, wasting my phone battery
And like you I don’t like to walk on my land very much tiptoe through get out let the mushrooms come to me
Exactly. No point in looking for them when they’re tiny. I know they are there. I’ll come back when they’ve grown.
Each footstep is like stepping on a landmine 🤣
Is this off 69?
It’s over where 72 and 34 meet. You walk up the hill by the big stump and it’s down around the bend near the briar bushes. Just look for the elm tree. 😂
@@ohiomorelhunters8326 that’s the best woodsman reply I’ve ever heard!
Why thank you lol
