Hunting Morels In South East Oklahoma with my sidekick Diesel the Dog.

Hunting Morels along the Canadian River in Oklahoma. How to identify a Morel and how I like to cook them. (Disclaimer) Do not eat any wild mushroom unless you are 100% sure that it is edible. Eating the wrong wild mushroom can be deadly.

Dave thanks for the hunting trip and the recipe. Next segment is Dave in the kitchen.👍🏻 from field to fork!

[@davesoutdoorchannel9250]

Thanks Andy! IMHO there's no better way to cook them. And the mashed potatoes side is a must👍

[@denisesteele1004]

I have made them with a white wine sauce. But the best way to cook is the way we grew up eating them. Cooked in butter.

[@davesoutdoorchannel9250]

Yeah. Fried in butter served with mashed potatoes.

You teach me how to forage and I'll teach you bushcraft (camp craft)

[@johnhodgesanythingoutdoors8724]

Those look really good. Is there a way to keep them when you get a lot like that? Will they keep awhile in the fridge or do you have to cook the whole mess?

[@davesoutdoorchannel9250]

I keep them a couple of different ways. Sometimes I will put them in a Ziploc freezer bag filled with water and freeze. Short term I will batter them and place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer and then put them in a freezer bag.

What about dehydrating them? I do this when I hit a good picking day of chanterelle mushrooms. Never tried with morels.

[@davesoutdoorchannel9250]

@@Tonaldo1469 I've heard of people doing that, but I haven't tried it personally.

[@Tonaldo1469]

I'll give morels a try in my dehydrator. Let you know if it works. Will have to be next year though. I live in Washington State and the Morel season has passed. March through May here. But, God dang!....Aren't them Morels tasty!

[@davesoutdoorchannel9250]

They sure are! After uploading this video I pulled some out of the freezer and fried up a batch. Nothing better 👍

What type of terrain are you in? Is it a Low land spot? I am just Northeast Tulsa and we have some hilly terrain and I’m never sure where to look.

[@davesoutdoorchannel9250]

I am in south central Oklahoma. In the areas that I hunt, I find them mostly along creek banks under cedar trees and brush.

[@jacksonmcdaniel169]

Any mushrooms this year what is a good time to start in south east Oklahoma

[@davesoutdoorchannel9250]

I found a few this week (first week of April). Right now is a good time to go looking along the creek banks in heavily forested areas.
