Hey Luke! We're just getting into the flush. Can't wait for you to see some of the episodes at the end of this season where we are harvesting fire exclusive species like Morchella tomentosa. We found some real gems.
Hi from Scotland 🇬🇧 Nicola White from London recommend your channel . Look forward to watching your channel. Thank you Nicola White . I am your biggest fan x
RESPECT to you all to begin with. Such back breaking work in all kinds of weather and conditions. I don't know how much you earn, I imagine quite a lot with the morels, but you really deserve every cent you make. Not many people can or are willing to do what you do. It's truly a pleasure to watch you all, thank you for the amazing videos. Greetings from Greece.
Thank you for these very nice words. We have considered documenting what we do for a long time and finally decided to go for it. Nice to hear that you are enjoying it all the way across the world in Greece. Lots more to come!
Wow! What a beautiful harvest! I just found out about you folks from Nicola White of Tideline Art in London! I’m glad I did! I live in south east Pennsylvania and have found a few morels in my woods over the years. I’m learning from you guys and I Thank You Kindly! Some for myself is great for me. Many Blessings and Morels! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Thanks Nicola White 😀 Tideline artist and mud lover , I'm here as I saw your vid Thankyou .Spent many hours picking with a friend years ago lovely memories. Love this NWH 😀 great mics 🎤 I can hear you cut and oh those squeaky wellys heehee. Great stuff 👏.
I got a slightly better mic for next year, specifically to capture those squeaky cuts! Just wait until the other species of morels come later in this season, they really sound the best when cut! haha
I love y'all videos, I have watched every one now since yesterday. Nicola told us about y'all. now I can't wait till friday video. But I don't understand why y'all don't eat a few? Thank you
I'll try to make a point of actually filming eating them more next season haha! There is an episode later in the season where i managed to show cutting, cooking and eating them though.
I also heard about you from Nicola tonight. Looking forward to watch the rest of your programs. I’m amazed that you find such a lot of morels. Very interesting Indeed. Regards from the south of Sweden
Very awesome to have you watching all the way from Sweden! We travel long distances (sometimes upwards of 3000km one way) to get to the locations we're harvesting, so we need high volumes to make it worth the trip.
Thank you! A question please. How long after the fires do morels appear? We haven’t had any wood fires in Sweden since 2018 and I haven’t got a clue if anyone looks for morels there. I prefer Boletus edulis myself and black trumpet,and yellow chanterelle.
@@lilwolfbrandt The huge production of morels is only the spring/summer after the forest fire. They can grow in following years but not usually anywhere near the same volume - we have checked many times. If/when they do grow in smaller amounts in later years, they won’t be the fire exclusive species. I grew up harvesting mostly Chanterelles. Also love them!
You have pick alot of Morels to start commenting on the the stem size and shape. I'm an expert at consumption of Morels. l know for fact those with a freak solid to the core base also have double thick sidewalls throughout. They are a premium eater that make your eyes roll back and your tastbuds bow down.
Totally Awesome haul! I noticed there are little cup fungi around as well I wondered if they are bird nest fungi or what? Do you have a online store perhaps to buy some dried from you?
The little orange cup fungus are 'Geopyxis carbonaria' - we call them fire cups, but they are often also called pixie cups. They are one of the indicators for morel ground within a recent wildfire. If you're interested in some dried morels you can email us at Northernwildharvest@gmail.com We plan on setting up an online store in the future but we aren't there quite yet.
Yes they are 5kg plastic food baskets. They are the standard kind that mushrooms buyers use here. They can be hard to get online lately because they are often purchased up by the larger companies then sold in the field at buying stations.
Man, this is just ridiculous. I've been foraging mushrooms for 50+ years, have picked tons of almost anything you can name... but have _never_ found a morel yet. I might have to plan a special trip to northern Michigan in the spring or something... I can't stand it anymore! 😀
Do you guys train for this? As in, have a gym routine to get you ready? Those pack boards look HEAVY! Talk about getting your cardio up and your lower back feeling tight 😂
No gym routine but we are wild harvesting for a good portion of the year so we do a lot of hiking. Carrying the pack board is definitely a great workout!
@@northernwildharvest goodness! My lungs would explode from my close to sea level Texan body. Love watching you guys work. Looks like an awesome team you have there!
This video is episode 9 of our 2022 season, so it's from June of last year. We're so far in the bush when harvesting, away from technology that we can't upload or edit anything until after we return home at the end of the season.
We do leave some but harvesting them and carrying them across areas is actually spreading the spore and encouraging more growth! When we come back to areas we have previously harvested, they are often more abundant the second time around because of us. :)
Every mushroom has millions of spores. We only focus on quality and leave many behind. The morels flush continues after we harvest, so that insures the spore out happens. Also the mushroom is only the fruiting body, like an apple on a tree, where the fungal organism grows in the ground and looks like white matted threads. We go to great lengths to leave little to no impact. We will try to include more content showing what we leave. Thx for your comment
@@itsabughunt6310 cheers! We go back to this spot about 3 weeks after the first harvest, near the end of the season and have a great day. In some of the shots you can see the new flush next to our old stems, with some old morels we left behind. :)
Hello from South Alabama, your content is great. What a harvest I'm such a fan of foraging. Really beautiful terrains. Shout-out to @nicolawhitemudlark for highly recommending your channel. As always she has amazing taste and luck at finding all things amazing, like you guys. Much luck to you all and happy hunting.
That was insane quantity (and also quality) of morels. Hardly imaginable for me :) Great work!
Very happy to hear that from you Luke. Stay tuned as it gets way better.

Looked like a great day of harvesting, I am looking forward to Fridays video already. Thank you so much.
Hello Debbie, thx for posting and joining our journey.
We are starting to crank it up a bit... beauty eh
WOW!!!!!!! Subscribed!
I have never seeing anything like this. Thanks for sharing. Realy amazing. Greetings from Austria.
Greetings from Canada! :) Happy to share.
Thanks for commenting. It's really awesome that we are reaching people in Austria.
You guys are amazing!
Funny that I live on Vancouver Island and referred here by a UK channel, Nicola White Mudlark. I am all caught up and waiting for the next episode!
Across the world and back again. Greetings from the north island. New episode tomorrow afternoon, thanks for checking out the channel!
I use to love those get in the bucket pick, wish I was there…
Glad you can join us virtually at least
I love y'all videos, I have watched every one now since yesterday. Nicola told us about y'all. now I can't wait till friday video. But I don't understand why y'all don't eat a few? Thank you
We do eat them, I love them stuffed with rice, prawns, herbs etc.
Thanks for joining our journey

haha for sure! We got a quadruple walled blondie later in the season and fried it up. The thick, multiwalled ones have the best texture in my opinion.
@@northernwildharvest yes
Truth, but much harder to dry..

Great videos! Where does one get those plastic crate baskets? Are they a specific harvest basket? They look perfect for the job.
Yes they are 5kg plastic food baskets. They are the standard kind that mushrooms buyers use here. They can be hard to get online lately because they are often purchased up by the larger companies then sold in the field at buying stations.

Ah ha! I didn’t think it was Canada. We’re deep in snow in Ontario. Was it shot in 2023? You’re further north than me.
This video is episode 9 of our 2022 season, so it's from June of last year. We're so far in the bush when harvesting, away from technology that we can't upload or edit anything until after we return home at the end of the season.
How much can you get for that perfect morel?
what crates are you guys using?
5kg food grade plastic baskets. Often used for fruits. Same physical space/volume as the bucket I use.
Nicola sent me.
Thk you for joining our journey.
Do you wipe out the area or do you leave some?
We do leave some but harvesting them and carrying them across areas is actually spreading the spore and encouraging more growth! When we come back to areas we have previously harvested, they are often more abundant the second time around because of us. :)
