calorie negative, yes, but have you seen the insane price per ounce people get for dried morels online? you guys should consider drying, packaging and selling them next spring!

My absolute favorite! I used to forage with my dad as a kid but I cannot find them as an adult! His recipe was sautéed in butter, shallots and then reduce in dry sherry and heavy cream. It’s the best thing ever!!

Last year I found morels under my grandparents RV. There were tons of them, and since they were in an area we could easily check again we let them grow to max size, which was massive. It’s a permanent site at a campsite. Behind our rv is a small space in between our RV and the back the the neighbor’s. Near the front of our RV is a rather massive maple tree in between the sites, which means that little space is the perfect place for a small group of morels to grow, and it’s the only place in the campground with those conditions. We got nearly a dozen morels from that harvest (unfortunately some of them got knocked over before they reached full size). A week after we found them we picked up all the surviving morels and we took them home, and my aunt cooked them in a sauce (I did not want to eat them because of the sauce), but everyone said they were good. Unfortunately they did not grow back this year, but hopefully they grow back eventually. Also, they were (probably) not common morels, but they did look exactly like the mushroom shown at 1:40. Nobody got sick after we ate them, so let’s call that a win.

Dry land fish! I haven't had one in years since living in Florida. I'm from the western tip of Virginia, and we fix them the way we do fresh water fish. Cut them in half from top to bottom, soak them about an hour in cold water to get the bugs out. Drain and roll them in cornbread mix or 50/50 cornmeal/flour mix. The water will make the breading stick. Fry until golden. We also forage and fry poke shoots at the same time. If you pick poke when the leaves are still curved inward, (about 2 -4 inch tall) you can wash and treat them the same as the morels. They will still make tiny blisters in your mouth if you too many but as a kid, I considered it a fair trade off for getting to eat as many poke shoots as I wanted. LOL

You guys are the absolute best! I love your garden and foraging videos. I also enjoy how you guys also include meat in your diet instead of forcing a vegan diet like most gardening or fruit-only diet channels do. Keep it up!

Thanks for sharing! I’ve heard from forager friends that there is a lot of concern about over-foraging an area. I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice about how to balance foraging and sustainable practices

Just found a giant morel at the end of the season, nice video, personally I'm lazy so I just say the bugs are bonus protein 😅
