Mushroom Hunting Tips - Morel Motherload Revisited

Mushroom Hunting Tips - Morel Motherload Revisited. In this video I provide tips and tricks on how to find natural morel mushrooms around the Oregon Cascade Mountains. We covered many miles and elevations to finally find morels fruiting below the snowline.

I show you where to look, what to look for, what other indicator species pop up at the same time as morels, tree identification, etc., in hopes these tips will help you find your own morels. These mushrooms grow throughout the PNW Cascades from April through May, are easy to identify and are amazingly delicious.

I've looked many times for morels this year no luck at all.

This has been an amazing year so far for morels! In Southern Oregon, people are finding them right now anywhere from 1700' all the way up into 5600'! The Hotspot seem to be around 2800-4000 this last week. We are starting to dry out pretty quick down here though so hopefully we get some showers soon.
Thanks for sharing! Your videos have helped with finding better areas and knowing what to look for!

Been out 4 times to my usual spots in norcal but nothing came up 😭 guess I'll have to explore more.😁👍 good finds on the Morels!

Been getting morels for a few weeks now.. been a great year here in Washington state. I always pull my shrooms. Then trim. It doesn't hurt the mycylium . By cutting you leave it open to rot and bacteria

Nice finds! Me and the Fam spent today at Mt Hood again. Still no luck. Lots of indicators and various elevations in the sweet zone but haven’t found one. Maybe next year.

I'm really excited to get out there and start hunting! Maybe I missed it, but did you mention what elevation you found these? It seems like we have had such a cold spring that I wonder if we will have a longer season? Thanks for putting out such helpful and entertaining videos!

I can’t afford gas for the drive up to the cascades to look for morels. I was going to go to pacific city to try my kayak out for some rock fish but my buddy wants me to show him how to halibut fish. So now it’s to Newport on a boat I go lol

I’ve been DYING to find me some morels this year but have no clue where to start.. I currently live near Beaverton, Oregon so mount hood isn’t the farthest from me and have been to lost lake area but when I there last month it was snowed in.. also hard to convince my roommates to drive me up there since I don’t have a car. Any other suggestions on locations that may be closer in to Portland that they may grow? I think I’ve hear some people finding them north east of Sauvie Island but could just be rumors.

What elevation where you at? I’m in southern Oregon and been finding them around 1700.

My family and I recently moved up to the Portland area from Southern Oregon. We have gone out hunting multiple times, but I just can't figure out the right area. I don't know any of the roads up here and we have been skunked every time. I know how to hunt for them what trees and other flora to look for, I have tried to Google good places to go, but just can't seem to find the right access to where we need to go. Do you have an ideal area you recommend that I could Google or look up in my atlas? I'm not asking for a specific "here is my honey hole" just trying to figure out what area to go to have the best chance of finding some (everywhere we have gone has just been blanketed with moss or other super thick ground cover). My kids love going but they are getting discouraged that we haven't found anything, when I mentioned today we were going out again tomorrow they whined and complained, "why? We never find anything anyway!" They aren't quite old enough (8 and 6) to understand a "bad" day in the woods is still miles above a good day in the city... Thanks in advance for any advice. Even though i just discovred you this last week, I absolutely love your videos and appreciate you posting them!!
