You have no idea how much i look forward to your posts and all this intriguing information you share so generously time after time. Im not in your country, but still absorb your earth life information. Thanks for your posts.
You have a specific way of speaking/teaching that is so natural, inviting, and holistic rather than rote memorization or blow-your-mind-facts. I think your handle "Learn Your Land" perfectly fits with your presentation, where it's mostly just about encouragement. I've been following along and learning for several years now, but have never said Thank You!
where i lived there was a couple types..the one git elm desease and storms tore them apart..i think ours was american elm and nothing touched it thru those years..maybe that was God.
@@Tracy-wr7mjif you believe in god then god was also the one killing everything off, tearing down trees, giving infants bone cancer, letting little girls and boys get raped…why are you picking what an all powerful god is responsible for?
Did they go cut all the elms down in the Forrest around where you live? Morels aren't growing around the elms that were planted in the 80s and 90s along main street
Not that anyone would ever confuse the two, but pawpaw trees fliwer very early as well. They had dark purple almost leathery flowers. They do have an extended flowering season as well. If a frost kills the early ones they will continue to put out flowers later on, ensuring at least a partial crop of fruit.
NEPA forest dweller here. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to educate us on finding morels in our state. I am so glad i found your channel! I'm new to foraging and I'm learning a ton watching all of your vids. So very informative. 💯
I first discovered your channel because of your mushroom videos. I have to admit I was an avid watcher a few years ago, and then haven't watched many since then. However, this phenology video reignited my interest in your videos. I would absolutely love to see more videos talking about phenology. Thank you for your video.
I learned the tip on the elms being among the first to flower several years ago, and it is one of the best tips. Once you spot the flowers, you can learn what the bark and the branches look like. It's always worth the time to watch your videos, Adam.
Problem with your flowering elm trees is that you don't really find all that many mushrooms by live elms. Look for dead elms,ones that have died year before and before the bark falls off. The best thing to look for is when the upper branches turn white
For some time I have been having difficulty identifying elms but I have always been too embarrassed to discuss the issue. This video will be very helpful in overcoming the shame and guilt associated with the inability to recognize elms. Thank you . 😉😉🌳🌳
Here where I live there’s a local Facebook page dedicated to morels and everyone involved “reports” on the areas where they hunt morels. We take a dated photo of any mushrooms we find and post them to the page so that everyone knows what’s going on. We don’t exactly pinpoint our locations but we do name the county we’re in. Every year you can literally watch the progression of the season from south to north. It’s pretty cool to see and it pretty much helps you to know “when” the season starts peaks and ends.
I just had a class in landscaping where the teacher mentioned using phenology to figure out what pests and diseases you could be dealing with, amazing study
I am already scooping white slippery elm seeds out of my pond. I did not know where to find morels tho - so this helped me in a different way!! I may go out mushroom hunting today since I am seeing falling seeds already. thanks
Lived in the Poconos for about 5 years and only found them around ash trees. Moved to Maine and haven't had luck finding them near ash or anything. Since I had luck with finding them around ash in The Kettles of Wisconsin, I just stuck with elms because there are not many of them since the Dutch Elm came through decades ago.
Indeed, Adam, the elms and the maple in my back yard have the flowers you teach of, at or close to the same parallel, to the west of you. Thanks for your many lessons.
Thanks for the video. I'm outside the range of slippery elm, here in Maine- but I can almost always tell an American elm at a distance by it's growth habit. Winter is great for this. edit: Dutch Elm Disease still has a strong hold here, I've watched most of the majestic elms I've known for decades die. But, lots are setting seed and living for many decades. Every year I look at the canopies of the ones I've been watching, looking for flagging limbs.
Thanks for another great video. Here at the top of NJ the red maple buds are red and swelled but not open. You inspired me to get my binoculars out and go for a hike to find some elms. Here we have lots of red, white and chestnut oaks, silver and red maples, black birch, some aspen, pin cherry but I've never identified an elm. Thank for the great tip!!
Chicken/Egg. It's the morel I'm after. I didn't know how to identify elms by their flower. I'm thankful for the education. I didn't know about the association between elms and morels either. This is a good tip. Thanks. I'll be mentally logging elms on my hikes.
This is my first season foraging, and Im exploring the Delco, bucks, and Lancaster county area mainly. I've been trying to get better at identifing trees, and this video came out right in time. Your other videos have been super helpful. So far this season not much, but I am noticing things about the forest I did not before, and I can see the forest change as springs progresses.
I’ve planted over 30 trees on my acre to go with a live oak,2 sycamores, pecan, walnut. Not counting every property I’ve owned, still planting, thanks for the lesson, been shut out the last couple years on mushrooms.
Thank you for the info. I was taught to look for the “vase” shape. They were used in city plantings because their shape allowed them to tower over the large homes providing shade. We have found morels near the base of apple and cherry trees.
Glad you mentioned that little tidbit, I always look for trees that have bark missing and lying on the ground. Usually in fairly large strips. They're almost always Elm trees and great places to find "murgels" as we call them. I've even found them underneath the dead bark on the ground. I also search for old apple orchards as well, shrooms grow there too. Berry patches are another. I live in western Pa also.
Wow thanks so much for these tips. Morels are one of the mushrooms that seem to elude me! However this info and my new pup that I've spent the winter teaching to play "find the morel" which she loves, will help immensely! Thanks again Adam!
I live in the PNW, I have Birch and Alder... I've had morels come up in my yard XD Still love your work, even though my trees are different here. Phenology should be taught to school children. It blows my mind how few people can comprehend what's happening right in front of their faces.
Another awesome video! It would be interesting to know how cold tolerant the flowers on the American elm and red maple are, considering how early they bloom.
I wish we had these same trees/associations in western canada. I've found morels lots in small bunches with no particular tree association (that I'm aware of) as well as landscaping morels and fire morels. We have to work hard for our morels out here!!! Great video as always, Adam!
Don't tell anyone but the trick for morels in BC is to find riverbanks and valley bottoms with mature cottonwoods and no maples. There's even some secret productive spots right along the Fraser as far downstream as Burnaby. But so much of this province burns down every year that fire morels are way easier to find nowadays.
@@WestCoastWheelman Thanks. I'll keep an eye out. I have looked in areas with cottonwood, garry oak and arbutus with not much luck but I'll give it another go. I've had more luck near arbutus or alder with mixed conifers but you are right about the fire areas. Thanks!
I always look forward to a new post from you Adam! Excellent information on how to identify Elm trees which I never knew until now! Thanks for posting and hope that all is well! 👍👍🌲🌲
Another wonderful post from you about how to know trees. Love your channel! I'm in northern Wisconsin, so we are mostly a few weeks behind you for everything.
As soon as I saw your thumbnail... I HAVE ELMS! I thought maybe they were all long dead, but I recognise that bark. I tap Maple trees in the spring, so I'm always looking for more(mostly Reds) to tap while I'm out collecting, and I noticed some trees with that same bark that would get me all excited for a minute that I "found another one", then deflated when I saw the branch structure and left wondering what they were. Now I'm excited about them again because of Morel potential, and I know what they are now. It's the simple things.
Morels grow under any trees, in MO we usually look for Ash trees, any tree with a rough protruding bark seems to catch Morel spores being blown around by the wind, then it rains, washes the spores to the ground. That’s how Morels March on. There is no certain tree that they grow under.
My daughter asked me to go with her to forage in the woods. I asked her if she has watched any Learn Your Land videos and she said no, but she has a field guide. I am sending this video to her.
This is stellar content. Love the way you present information. Currently training to be a master naturalist in VA and we just studied trees. This helped so much.
The elms in my backyard have been blooming for almost a month now. Funny to watch the squirrels hanging upside down to get to the blooms to eat. They absolutely love them. Some species of birds also. Then there is the chaf I guess that's what you call it, that falls like it's snowing. That stuff is everywhere. I think they call them Cork elm also

And to his great knowledge of his subject matter!
I live in Michigan and I found Morales march 16th. In all my years of studying and foraging I have never seen them so early.
I have. Everything is different lately. Even the stripers are early
The walleyes are running right now in the U.P. only ran my snowblower 3 times this season
Nearly no elms in my area. Years ago they went around and cut them down to try to stop Dutch Elm Disease.
I loved elm trees as a child. I miss them.
Same here, we had 3 perfectly healthy Elm trees on my street and the city came and cut all of them down.
where i lived there was a couple types..the one git elm desease and storms tore them apart..i think ours was american elm and nothing touched it thru those years..maybe that was God.

Morels aren't growing around the elms that were planted in the 80s and 90s along main street
I'm in Maryland. Literally all the elms have died in the past like 6 years. We had tons and tons of them. Its rare you see a live one now.

I can usually only identify them when spring starts. They are one of the first to grow foliage. I only learned because of morels lol.
Interesting to see ramp leaves in the background of the morels near the end. I knows where they grows, here in SE Ohio.

Just spent all of Saturday browsing the woods for elms and had a really hard time finding any. This video is perfect, thanks for the advice Adam!

You are so knowledgeable and I am learning a lot.
Nice informative video . Tulip poplars are early flowering trees in S Illinois right now too and my favorite, Eastern Redbuds.
Thank you for the info. I was taught to look for the “vase” shape. They were used in city plantings because their shape allowed them to tower over the large homes providing shade. We have found morels near the base of apple and cherry trees.
