Wait wait wait I have audio. Sorry for the trouble Luke. Loue your videos. I am from India, south India as a matter of fact and I assure you we don't have any mushrooms in my megalopolis of ten million people. I love nature and unfortunately I can't find any nature around. So my go to pave is you. Thank you.
I understand that. I'm happy you can see more nature thanks to videos like this.
Wow the first of this year… so nice to watch new upload 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for the comment. If you haven't seen, I also recommend to check the video from last week about mushroom I was able to find in March :)
Luke, I absolutely love your videos! Your commentary is so entertaining and your photography is amazing
Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you love my videos :)
it's so interesting to see all the nature coming to life where you forage. Here, everything is still covered by a thick layer of snow
I hope you will get some springtime soon too :)
Great to see that you have found more morels this year than you did last year. Can’t wait for the season to start up here in Sweden.
Good job Luke!
Thanks for the comment. Last year the season wasn't very good for me, so hopefully this one will continue as it started :)
Another very relaxing video! Do you have public lands in Bohemia? Is a permit required for personal harvest?
I'm glad you find the video relaxing. The lands / forests here are often free to enter despite the possibility of being owned by someone. Of course some people build fences around their private ground but most of such areas are accessible. I think there is some limit like several kilograms per person per day, but I usually don't have such amounts so I was never paying much attention to that. Also I've never seen anyone to check that. So in general, ownership is usually not a problem.
Great work! I just started watching your vids and I already like your videos oh and have a GREAT! day (: ,,
Thanks, welcome here :)
Escargot in a moral mushroom sauce mmmm
What is the temp there? What had it been like? I'm just curious when they come up there.
It was between 0°C and 10°C approximately, sometimes at night possibly below the freezing point, during a sunny day it could also be more. Now the weather got colder, but I hope they will continue to grow despite night freezing temps.
Awesome Luke, we get Verpa bohemica here as well but they aren't as common overall. Rarely do they grow in the forest fires but sometimes we see them in the green patches of forest between burnt areas. Love seeing the forest environments where you're harvesting.
Thanks for the comment. Here these mushroom is very popular and at some places it can grow in masses, but in general it is difficult to find such places. You will not find them in ordinary forrests. More likely they grow in ugly places with difficult access. So far I picked them only on one of my spots. Hopefully the other spots will start producing soon too.
Good Video! If you are ever in Germany, we could go on a mushroom hunt together and show you around. Greetings
Thank you. I'll let you know if I plan to visit Germany for mushroom hunting :)
I do not claim to be a morel expert. From what I see in the video, these are what we would call "half free" morels. I am in U.S.A Michigan. In the half free, the stem goes up into the hood of the mushroom where the true morels the stem attaches to the bottom of the hood. In the "true morels" the stem and the hood are one piece and hollow when the mushroom is cut in half as opposed to the half free having an "overhanging hood". I hope that makes sense. I have looked for many morel videos over the last several years and this is probably the 1st I have seen from somewhere other than North America. Very cool to see and we still love the "half free" morels too. In my opinion, the "true morels" do have a much better flavor though. Happy hunting, it is just nice to get outdoors!!! The other important thing I want to mention is in the North American morels, is that the "False Morel" has a fibers in the stem when the mushroom is cut in half.
If this is different there, please educate me or maybe I am misunderstanding this altogether. We also have woodears which is neat to see there too.
See you have may other videos and am looking forward to looking at them also!!!
Yes, these are not true morels nor half-free morels. These are so-called Early morels or also False or Thimble morels. The latin name is Verpa bohemica.
@@LukesMushrooms Thank you for responding.
I have done a bit of research into this, it appears yours are considered what we would call a 'false morel" which from what I have seen is considered not be edible as it is poisonous for many people. Do you get "true morels" there and/have you eaten them? My wife and I have only found 1 "false morel" and not kept it. We have kept and eaten mostly "true morels" and one season we did find several half free morels that we did keep and eat as well.
Thank you for your time and responding to my comment. Our season is hopefully just starting to begin. It seems an early start so far going by the weather here , but we are still uncertain until we find them.
Happy and safe hunting from Michigan USA.
They are called false morels I was raised not to eat grandparents said not to eat poison
@@jamesflorindi4139 James, verpa is considered a "false morel" (being, you know, not a morel) but most people refer to them as an early morel or simply verpa. While verpa are sometimes called false morels, more often the term refers to gynomitra sp. I'm also in California and tbh mushroom hunters are often not consistent with naming but it's just semantics. As long as we all know what we're referring to.
@@jamesflorindi4139they are not false morels, Luke stated correctly they are Verpa Bohemica- early morels. They are edible if cooked fully!
Aka known as dog peckers the cap has to close on the stem be careful there are false morels also
Yes, this is Verpa bohemica, which is not a true morel officially. I like to call it Early morel and here in Czechia they are considered to be a delicacy. However, some people might have allergy to these.
Thx for sharing buddy
My pleasure. Thanks for the comment Randy :)
Yesterday I found 4 big Morchella esculenta here in Italy, so i'm happy that it's time of morels🍄
Yes, great that the season is here. Congrats to your finds. I hope I'll have luck to find some Morchella this year too :)
👌👍
Badass content as usual!
Thanks :)
Thank you Sir Luke, you just don't know how happy I am watching your videos, they are so relaxing, from Philippines with ❤
I'm glad you consider my videos relaxing. Stay tuned for more :)
Oh dear its raining here and i was looking forward to staying indoors relaxing but now i have been inspired to go trudging around in the woods searching for Morel Mushrooms, Thanks Teacher Luke !
Glad you have been inspired. Here the weather isn't very nice now either, but I'll probably go out see what's growing anyway :)
In the Appalachian Mountains we call them long stems. Or some refer to them as a half free moral because of the cap not contacting the stem like the black,yellow,tan species do.
Actually half-free morels are a different species which can look similar to these.
Jojooojojjojooooo... krasa koncert opet!!.. koncem tydne du taky do akce.. dik za peckovní video a at se daří
Diky, drzim palce :)
what kind of camera do you use for your photography?
I'm using a mirrorless camera. I'll not tell more details but in some of my older videos it was visible :)
Hi Luke there is no audio on this video or is some thing wrong from my side
I checked the audio and it seems to be alright. I hope you managed to make it work :)
It's working here
@@LukesMushrooms nope. No sound
they are conciderd poisiness now days
Yes, the expert opinions are various nowadays. But at least where I live it is still considered to be a great edible mushroom, just some cases of allergy of some people are known.
@@LukesMushrooms thanks 4 takeing time to read my reply, the toxins in the false morells have been found to kill the tellameres on the ends of the brain cells,studies in the euroregion outback had clusters of allheimers from eating the verpa types . im a member of the oregon myco society portland oregon,usa
And what exact kind of False morels is this information about?
@@LukesMushrooms the kind that produce the rocket fuel toxins, those in the hellvella elfin saddlels group and even sum agarics. I, will try to find the research report from our newsletter last year Luke,and send it to U.I should have had that all together 4 U before I opened up this can of worms, sorry.
Those are not true morels
Nobody claims them to be
What?
