You are so dang funny!!🤣🤣 Please don’t stop making these videos, and please ignore those people who make negative comments.. They are miserable, and you are great.
I have been using plastic bread bags in my spots for over 40 years now. I have rooted, pinched and cut.. Guess what? They always come back. Some years are better than others, but that's just how it is. Weather is a thing and high yield trees don't last forever.. Great video man. Keep up the good work👍
You are my favorite Whisker Biscuit!!!! Screw those people’s comments! You’re better than anyone I’ve watched! Also, it does Not matter if you cut or twist/pull out. 😊We love you here in Pittsburgh!! Waiting for your new release of 2024!!!🎉
I went this afternoon and didn’t see much around me but plan to hit it hard this weekend. Seems they should be up. Good luck! I’m west central Indiana.
I have only seen one study done with chanterelles NOT morels, talked to a mycologist about the debate and learned that both methods yield very similar results. Cause and effect are never about just one thing you do…for example the weather temp and precip varies as well year to year. Food supply that morels use wanes or is more plentiful. So…it is very difficult to do experiments like this and have the results mean anything unless you use the same plots year after year for a number of years and actually study morels. I say do what makes sense to you. To me it is easier and cleaner to twist the morel off at the base….unless of course I want to conceal the knowledge of a good area. 🤣I use a slatted pack basket to both aerate/disperse spores and protect morels from being crushed. But sometimes I have been caught out in a patch with only a plastic bag…and I used it without issue for a quick in and out picking. I like your videos. Keep making them. I will be in IN next week…a bit further south then you are. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
I enjoy watching your videos....I planned making myself better this year...I find a few every year but they're in a orchard.....still trying to find them by tree types here in Central pa
Glad you put out a video. Geographically we aren't too far apart so I pay close attention to the habitat you hunt. I've been out several times in southwest Ohio, going to pound the woods hard this weekend as our turkey season starts next weekend. I'll be scouting for birds aswell as for morchella. Happy hunting
Enjoy your videos. Hunted for years in Madison and Grant counties in Indiana.I moved to Somerset ky 2 years ago. We been picking here a few weeks now. I will be up there last weekend of April to hit my spots 😁 Good luck this year.
There are a few picking versus cutting studies that have been recorded. Both of the ones I've read showed plucking the plots they were monitoring made a significant difference in future growth. Leaving the (rotting stipe/stem) make the buried mycelium more prone to diseases and negative environmental factors. And morels in general phase themselves out of an area eventually, they lose the essential food sources they need to grow as the ground depleted of the nutrients they are feeding on over time.
I wonder if you pull them up by the "roots," cut the roots off at home then bury them if that's any better than trying to propagate with cultured spores?
Ive been out so much already and haven't found a damn thing my friends are finding them like crazy and i havent seen anything its really getting to my feelers
I enjoy watching your mushroom hunting videos. You definitely have an eye for finding them that's for sure. Best of luck looking forward to watching the next one. Have you tryied Henry Co yet ?
dig your videos ! do you ! for me optimal condition is when the combined temp and humidity is above 120 and it gotta hit that window, in April for bout 3 days or more, sure I find them when it cooler but I'm talking bout my honey holes flushing. the mushrooms are always there, underground just waiting to fruit and reproduce. happy hunting man 💚
Another fun video. Glad to see you’re on em! How did you discover them growing there? Were you hunting the shagbark hickory’s and that’s how you figured out the blacks where there?
@@whisker_biscuit_outdoors1385 thanks man. I’ll definitely pay more attention around then. Blacks don’t seem to be found too much around my county. I have one black patch with a lot of cherry sprinkled with hickory…I’m willing to take your advice and hunt some hickory stands and see what I can come up with. Happy hunting!
i personally pull the whole mushroom then chop the mycelium/dirt bottom and then stomp or crush into ground, for 1 i don't want people finding my stems and coming back and i feel like it does get the mycelium disturbed/dispersed just in case the weather permits another flush at that spot that season. Hasn't hurt any of my spots for future seasons that's for sure.
I live in Indiana is there any kind of info you can give me on these? I’ve been trying so hard to find some. I don’t know where to go they say national parks, but if everybody’s going there, how the hell am I gonna find any
Everybody's got an opinion. Everybody is an expert LOL. There are more videos and comments of people that have no idea what they are talking about in regards to mushroom hunting then there are videos and comments of people that do know what they're talkin about! I can't tell you how many videos that I have seen that put out potentially deadly information thinking that they know what they're doing. There have been studies done and they have confirmed that there really is no big difference between cutting or plucking. I've been cutting my mushrooms ever since I started and I'm still hunting all of the same spots. Some of them get better and some of them get worse over time. Personally, I think it has more to do with the mushrooms lifecycle than it does have anything to do with the way we Harvest them. Cutting does leave your mushrooms a lot cleaner though because they aren't mixed in with a bunch of dirt! Using a mesh bag could possibly help the spores to spread as you are walking through the forest, but even that is not going to make a ton of difference. I have seen Morel Spore release studies, and morels do tend to release the majority of their spores a bit later in their life cycle so if you are able to wait until the morels are fairly mature, then they will have spored out and done their jobs before you harvest them. Having said that, we don't always have the luxury of waiting if other people are hunting in the same areas! Keep doing what you are doing, or try something new and see if it makes a difference. Doesn't matter. Everyone has their own way of doing things and as long as you're having a good time doing it, doesn't matter what other people think. Keep up the great videos brother!
Dear Sir; I do not like your collection technique, as you didn't spin around in circles 3 times prior to collecting those mushrooms...nor place them in a MAGENTA mesh bag. I'm also livid you didn't pee on every 3rd tree to honor Harambe's murder. JK subbed 😏
One thing I've learned in all my years of fishing and hunting and foraging is to only listen to myself. I've done my studying mostly on the job. If you look up a video of a Moral Mushroom as it sprouts you can see the spores explode out as its growing. That is one of the reasons it fruits is to spread spores. Just like trees & Flowers with their pollen. Same thing only different. 😂😂😂 So to all the so called "experts" out there ,here's to you. 🖕🖕🖕😂
You are so dang funny!!🤣🤣

Glad to see you’re video again still haven’t found my first one yet still looking but it’s Michigan
I went this afternoon and didn’t see much around me but plan to hit it hard this weekend. Seems they should be up. Good luck! I’m west central Indiana.
Keep it coming, love the content!!!
Thanks man
Just found your channel. Enjoying your content. I’ve never had luck around shag barks, but then I’ve never searched them as early as this.
Thank you

You should definitely keep making videos. You're a cool dude, fishing videos, mushroom videos, anything would get you an audience.
Thanks man, very much appreciate that
Just started watching your videos this year. I've enjoyed every one so far. Keep em coming, and keep up the good work bud! Happy hunting
Thanks man

Good to see you back!! Make lots of morel videos, love them!
Thanks brother

I will be up there last weekend of April to hit my spots 😁
Good luck this year.
Thanks man. I spent some time in Somerset when I was in college
Love the vids man keep up the good work putting good content out. Keep on cuttin filln that bag up. Good luck to ya

What trees do you usually look for in your spots? I hunt muncie area and I can never find the greys and blacks only yellow later in the season
Nothing in my spots here in and around Kokomo yet. It's raining so maybe that will help
Should be good by middle of next week
Ive been out so much already and haven't found a damn thing my friends are finding them like crazy and i havent seen anything its really getting to my feelers
สุดยอดมาก👍👍
I enjoy watching your mushroom hunting videos. You definitely have an eye for finding them that's for sure. Best of luck looking forward to watching the next one. Have you tryied Henry Co yet ?
Yep, Wilbur wright area. It’s still a little behind this spot in Delaware co
Go get’em brother👍🇺🇸

Cool vid, I was born in Fort Wayne lol, terrible city
i personally pull the whole mushroom then chop the mycelium/dirt bottom and then stomp or crush into ground, for 1 i don't want people finding my stems and coming back and i feel like it does get the mycelium disturbed/dispersed just in case the weather permits another flush at that spot that season. Hasn't hurt any of my spots for future seasons that's for sure.
Where do you look for these mushrooms. River bottoms?
Haven't found not one in Huntington county yet
They’re coming soon
I live in Indiana is there any kind of info you can give me on these? I’ve been trying so hard to find some. I don’t know where to go they say national parks, but if everybody’s going there, how the hell am I gonna find any
What part of the state you in ?

You already this year have found at least 80 times more than I’ve found sad days haha
You’ll kill ‘‘em this year man
I. Love. Watching the. Videos. I. Wish I could. Walk. So. I. Could. Go. And. Find. Me. Some. I. Love. Eating. Them. Keep. Up. The. Good. Work
Why do you type like that lol.
