These are my top 5 tips on finding morels this season.

My husband dragged me on the fishing trip/meet up you guys organized, and I had no idea who you both were. But we had the loveliest time and you both are so incredibly kind and the most down to earth people! Thanks for all the hard work you guys do! Now a fan :)

Taku, fun fact about the elevation thing. The reason the morels higher up the mountain were fresh and the ones lower were dry and old was because morels only grow when the ground temperature is around 45-60 degrees. Any less or more and they will not grow. Lower elevation warmed up earlier in the spring and higher up still had some piles of snow that helped with moisture and ground temps for morels to grow later into the spring. Hope this helps.

Over here in BC I'm working near a burn zone from last years Shuswap fire and every day after work I go out for a couple hours and pick Morels. Picked 10 pounds yesterday. They're an incredible mushroom. Duck bone broth morel mushroom soup was for dinner last night. So good.

Fire areas are definitely good, but any sort of disturbance will do it. Once found an area they were doing a bunch of Cat work in for some reason, Dad and I filled a paper grocery bag full in about 10 minutes. Was a good way to turn around a poor day of turkey hunting.

And yeah, that WAS a big ass pinecone. LOL

Salivating badly! I love all mushrooms. The plating is so beautiful made. Thanks so much for sharing your endeavors with us. Always looking forward to your next adventure/videos!

Love the Kelp Chili Crisp shout out at the end. Taku, I bought my first jar the day you mentioned it on your channel. Since then I’m probably on my 20th jar. It’s the most incredible topping or ingredient. It’s always in our house. Just thought I’d give a shout out to KCC too! P.S. I grew up hunting and fishing near Fisherman’s Life’s property and do a lot of the saltwater fishing now too.

I still cannot believe you aren’t at a million followers or more because you two are amazing. I know you will be there soon though. You do such a great job of blending together teaching, foraging, fishing/hunting with the best looking catch and cook meals I have ever seen. Thank you!

Love seeing you two hunt for morels! I've always wanted to try doing that, and the truffle-digging you both did in an older video. Also have been loving the kelp chili crisp, I've recently been having them on eggs, it's so good for breakfast! My husband loves the extra spicy one you released. Keep up the wonderful videos Taku, and I hope you and Jocelyn hold more fan meetups in the future!☺

For those who are curious about morels, I have a buddy that just started harvesting morels in Northern California ( Lassen County) and he stir fried them in butter and garlic. Omg! They’re so delicious I was surprised how flavorful they were. The taste is unique compared to the white or brown store bought mushrooms I’m comfortable eating.

Anyways, besides that, great video as always Taku! Glad you posted this about morel mushrooms cause I just recently ate some and wanted let viewers know my experience with them.

Hey man, you got me into mushroom foraging this year. I’ve found oysters, morels, chants, Chx of the woods. But after talking to some experts here in ATL, I’ve learned there are a lot of less popular mushrooms that taste amazing, like Rodmani. You should do a video on some less popular mushrooms. 🤙🏾 Preciate you for putting me on!

Just went out this year for the first time ever to hunt for morels and we found some really nice ones. When it came time to clean, I noticed little bugs coming out of them and was put off because there were sooo many little small bugs that kept coming out. I soaked them a few times with a little vinegar in the water. I’m glad that you said this shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll man up next time! Love your videos man!
