OutofDoorsTV cool! Bean checking these past few days..

[@markwoel]

Love this. My buddy mispronounces it the same way lol.

[@media8k8]

This is the best demonstration of elm characteristics that I've seen. Thank you.

[@pricetag30]

Yep gots too have good morals to find. Morels;)

[@kristicarrillo3162]

So that's where my morals went is under an elm tree...WHO KNEW!? LOL

[@crackrokmccaib]

Glad I found this. I cut down what I thought was ash, until I tried to split it. Ash was always so easy to split. I wondered why this one was the opposite. Apparently it was an elm. Thanks for clearing that up. Before this, they looked the same to me.

The canopy tends to umbrella out also.. And bark is lighter in color also.

[@thathaslage]

I agree with this info... good video on how to identify the tree.

[@allclades]

Thanks, Glad you liked it.

[@joecamel8182]

Good video and description.

[@tatenormandin8724]

Also, I think the trunk will always split into a Y shape, correct?

[@MushFarmer]

ha, spongy for sponges

[@laurenclemens877]

Maybe you can help me...I can’t find an answer anywhere. Are there still elms prevalent in NY? Not sure where this was filmed. I was under the impression that NY was sorta of void of elms after the Dutch elm disease.

[@RealGrandDini]

i need morals and principles to succeed in life..morels help too

[@christiansanchez1486]

Is that by chance American Elm I know Chinese Elm is more of a paper like bark and the other variant(don't remember the specific name) but it looks very similar to American Elm.

[@allclades]

I believe it was

[@justme-og5xc]

Many people say to hunt under dead elms, does it matter if the tree is alive though? I read that Morels are not mycorrhizal though, so why do they form associations with certain tree species?
I moved a couple years ago to the north east, was having great luck with Morels down south before the move, found some really big Morels last year in north east though, never seen them that large down south.

[@padger2577]

In Virginia I find them under live, healthy poplars all the time. I think morels just like certain nutrients/sugars, and certain trees produce these nutrients/sugars, some while alive, some while dying.
Scientists have found some species of morel to be mycorrhizal and some not, possibly at different phases in the life cycle of the fungus. They know very little about morels compared to other mushrooms, mostly because they've had such a hard time consistently producing morels in a lab setting.

[@TimmiMontreal]

thanks for the tips!
btw, it's pronounced "morell", not "moral". think "more elm" without the "m" at the end

[@robshuba3300]

it's also pronounced "across" not "acrost". this guys English really really sucks lol

[@harryeverett2152]

Is anyone able to help?
Ive got a few young elms (i think) about 8ft high, leaves look identical to the ones in the video, and they also alternate and in Autumn the leave turn yellow.
However, the bark isn't thick like the elm in this video, and not spongy. More smooth, i'm a bit stumped (pun intended) as to what breed they are. The bark also has white spots, making the trunk look white over a light grey brown. Or maybe these white spots are the actual colour of the bark. Making me more so unsure what breed the trees are.

[@gunthertheczech]

If it keeps its leaves through most of the fall/winter, it’s probably a beech tree. Smooth light grey bark and those toothed leaves. Good place to find black trumpets if they are old trees.

[@jimmyers8114]

and the "moral" of the story is? where is this guy from?

[@OGXX-bs5bc]

MorELSSSS Not Morals!!!

[@OGXX-bs5bc]

But other than that decent video...

[@tubesockets120v]

I need to find some morals. Amen.
