Once again, the forest guru has taught me a great deal. So glad a friend introduced me to this channel a few months ago. Adam, you're a national treasure...and the new van dyke looks excellent. Well played, Sir.
Extra tip when learning trees, learn what the early spring leaves look like. I found one of my best morel areas because of the distinct color of tulip poplar trees in early spring. I saw a large area of them from a highway. Checked on the map and they were on state land. Figured out how to get to it and jackpot! I've been returning to that spot for years now.
Thanks, Adam, for all the hunting tips we probably wouldn't have thought of. The correlation with deer hunting added a great spice to the lesson, and was a good reminder mushrooms are a lot easier to drag out of the woods.
Adam, it is so obvious to us that you have a passion for what you do. Thank you so much, for sharing your passion and love of nature with us. On a side note, if you don't already, you should consider photography/filming nature as a serious hobby, or maybe even a side hustle. Your videos have given us some of the most beautiful shots of scenery and wildlife, many of which most people never get to see - like the image of croaking frogs in the forest pond, the deer, and the closeup perspective of those beautiful Morels. You have such a vast knowledge of nature and your photography skills are an added bonus. In my opinion, the images in your videos have a quality and hidden value (I'm not talking about the financial value) that we will never see in any magazines, books, or even many documentaries. I appreciate and am grateful for this. These images remind me of some of my favorite childhood memories.🥰 Thanks again, for doing what you do, and thank you for your love of the natural world. May you have a beautiful 2025 and best wishes. 🌳🌲
I did not grow up in this country, and what my father thought me as a child in Hungary, only partially translate to my current local landscape. Have been watching Adam since his teenage years, it seems, and learning a lot😊
Been watching this channel for quite some time , this look is ...well . All that matters is the information he shares is very appreciated for it's ease of understanding , accuracy and likability ! Thanks
NE Tennessee here, and were going to be in the upper 50s to upper 60s the next seven days! I can't wait until spring, and morels! Thank you for the video Adam!
This past season I found loads of huge morels around sugar maples. On multiple spots too. I can't hardly wait for this season. Thanks for getting me all excited this early in the year!😂
I, Leann, will continue my Tree ID journey. Success will come. What can I say but the poem I wrote whilst watching this video... "The earth breaths True, edible flowers
Great for pre-season scouting. I knew you'd be promoting your tree ID course. It's one of the most effective ways to identify ecosystemsin the deciduous woods
Adam, your content is *always* exciting and highly educational to watch… your channel has been one of my favorite for years. Bless and keep ‘em coming, good sir! ❤️🔥
Here in Fredericksburg va, we had 2 great years in 2020 and 2021. We know EXACTLY where they were growing. 22-24, we did t find a single Morel and we were out there every other day for 2 full months.
Very frustrating because I have no Elm trees in my area here in Eastern MA. I assume they were all cut down over a century ago. The forests here are mostly Maple species, Oak, Beech. Maybe I will come across a few Elms but I never find anything growing underneath. I have found only one morel in my lifetime and it was under a crabapple tree on the side of a path where people walk their dogs. At least I have a good amount of chicken and hen of the woods around. What we need here is a Johnny Appleseed to spread morel spores throughout the land.
@@colbykinney5633 I'll keep looking. My other issue is competition. I was in the woods one time looking for mushrooms and spotted a large, old oak tree about 75 yards off a path that anybody would walk. Somebody else had the same idea because when I checked underneath it, I saw cleanly cut hen of the woods mushrooms - or what was left of them.
Hey like the goatee! I also deploy my insta-read thermometer for ground temps around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Ive found that here in southern Appalachia we just dont get enough chill time. Hoping this year will be a bit different though. Also, most of our Ash trees have succumbed to the emerald ash borer. Would have thought the dead or dying ash would have supported more morel growth, but sadly has not been the case. Happy shroom hunting everyone (enoki is delicious too!)
Just what I needed been itching to go mushroom hunting 🤣👍awesome informative video as always thank you stay warm going up to 50 Friday here in my part of Pa spring will be here before we know it
@ thank you same to you good sir! Appreciate what you do this channel has helped me on my journey of ecological literacy as you put it. Do you go to the fungi festival in Pittsburgh in fall? I’m just finding out about it definitely gonna try to go this year maybe even see you there! Take care Adam till next time
There aren't many in New Hampshire, where I live. I looked for years and found nothing. Then one day my next door neighbor came over and said, "I just ran over some weird mushrooms with my mower. Come look at the rest." Yellow morels. All over the place. Turns out, I'm not that crazy about them.
One thing a friend of mine sometimes did that helped him to find morel mushrooms in the spring was to burn the leaves and debris off from the areas where he expected to look during winter months. He took me with him one spring morning, and he filled up his sack quickly. I would have to be extremely careful about burning undergrowth and dead leaves to promote morel harvest near my place. And it might do more harm than good if things didn't turn out just right. It's hard to see a 5 inch tall black or golden morel under 8 inch deep pile of leaves from pecan, ash, cottonwood, oak, willow, walnut, hickory, and other mixed deciduous trees.
Hi Adam I live in Southern Appalachia and enjoy your videos. There is a tree at the11:35 mark with buttress roots like an American Beech, but it is not a Beech. Could you please identify it?
I've read that they grow more prolific in recently disturbed areas. Like where an area has been raked or had the leafy forest floor coverage disturbed in some way. Has anyone found this to b true?
Just moved to middle Tennessee ( moved from California) and am having a hard time identifying the trees here. I got a pamphlet, but would love a suggestion of a book or website, or app. I'm a little overwhelmed and would like direction. Thank you for any help you can offer.
Anywhere near Morgan county? I downloaded a good tree guide from one of the TN websites. I can't remember if it was twra or something else, but Google Tennessee tree identification and you will likely find the same PDF file I did. It also shows how they look in winter vs summer.
I bought several spore kits this year. Some from Oregon and some from Missouri. I plan on broadcasting our fruit grove where we have found them in the past. We have a herd of deer that we feed. So fingers crossed I will have on property shroomin this April 20 in Indiana. Anyone else try these kits ?
have you ever done a PSA video which edible mushrooms have lookalike poisonous mushrooms that people might confuse? I see to recall you have done this on occasion in some vids, but maybe an entire video just on this? or suggest which mushrooms are not worth chancing if one is not an experienced expert at discerning these lookalike mushrooms.
Ar fi bine să iei în calcul și aciditatea solului când vorbești despre zbârciogi deoarece preferâ solurile bazice; unde locuiesc eu solul este acid și mi-au trebuit 4 ani să găsesc primii zbârciogi. Un clip și despre Verpa Bohemica dacă se poate?!
Nice of Adam's dad to pop in and help us learn our land.
Adam looks amazing
Lol
Been an Adam Fan for years. He is very good at what he does. Happy morel hunting to all. May we all find a mother load.
You know that's right
great videos, great vibes.

Adam should really head up the U.S Department of Natural Resources.
Great volumes of data so concisely laid out.
A true joy to learn from.
Love this channel and Adam's wealth of knowledge! I bought a 40-acre tract of land in WV recently and have learned SOOO MUCH from this channel!!!
Tree identification is huge when it comes to understanding mushroom habitats! I've learned so much from your videos, Adam!
Me too - learned a ton.

Can't wait for the spring foraging season to start! I used to find a good amount of morels near tulip poplar in Asheville.
This is a very nice video. You should do a video on a deers impact on our forests
I have leaned so much from Adam. Keep the information coming. Thanks
I'm super stoked for morel season this year. I found an absolute monster of a patch that I'm beelining for this year.
Love the new beard and the videos man!!

Ecological literacy, there's a great term.
This past season I found loads of huge morels around sugar maples. On multiple spots too. I can't hardly wait for this season. Thanks for getting me all excited this early in the year!😂
Another great video! My friend's successes finding mushrooms are directly dependent on the time I put in. 😂
I always listen to my mushroom hunting friends and its been a couple years since we've had a good year. Morels yum!
Thank you Adam ❤I'm looking forward to finding some this year
Thanks for reminders. Morels don't like my area, but puff balls do ))) This video put them back on the radar. )))
Interesting video & great advice on locating Morel mushrooms Adam! Thanks! 👍👍🍄🍄
I, Leann, will continue my Tree ID journey. Success will come. What can I say but the poem I wrote whilst watching this video...

I live in NC and have been thinking of Morels! I'll start looking about ahead. Thank you for the info! Take care, Adam!
Where in NC? Asheville Mushroom Club has forays lined up (when the time is right of course) so get yourself ready! DD
Great video choked full of good information. Thanks Adam!
I find morels under my Austrian Pine trees and in the woods in areas where red pines grow. Sandy soil and by May 15th. I head out.
Love this video I haven't found any morrels, but I live in an area with all the right conditions, so I will keep searching Thank you!
Looking good young man and thanks for the tips, been following you for many years
What do you think of the gotee?
Beautiful photography. Love your videos. Thank you.
Preyz Gord for this wisdum and discernment 🙌🤠

I find them in old apple orchards on sycamore and wild cherry sometimes. Also around mature Tulip poplars

Yes, think in eco-systems & trees. Adam has verifiable tips.

I've had a lot of success finding morels with white pine in my area
I’ve had good luck with old growth cottonwoods in southwest MN
Just what I needed been itching to go mushroom hunting 🤣👍awesome informative video as always thank you stay warm going up to 50 Friday here in my part of Pa spring will be here before we know it

Hopefully we start getting much more precipitation of any kind. We are still drought here in Pennsylvania 🌠👋
Hello Adam
Off subject but while I am out scouting for morals where should I be looking for possible places for stinging nettles?
Easily, and Chicken of The Woods
Phew, when looking to other humans for morals, there’s always that hint of moral decay.
@@neatnateable you said what
@@jakobsime4190 I was just being punny since the original commentor said "morals" instead of "morels."
Nettles grow in moist fertile creek bottoms here

Yellow morels. All over the place. Turns out, I'm not that crazy about them.
New Hampshire has her secrets. Took me years to find wild sycamores and hickory but they’re here.
I’m not too crazy about them either. I’m glad you were able to find some though!
Thanks for this!
I like the goatee. I did not recognize you at first LOL
We are all one. 😊
Just like Gord Jesus said 🙏 👳♂️
@@theunclejezusshow8260 Isn't that Gourd Jesus?
@jsmongosso I enjoy making my own wordz and quotes
Once in a good year, I found a morel that had popped up in amongst one of my horse radish plants.
One thing a friend of mine sometimes did that helped him to find morel mushrooms in the spring was to burn the leaves and debris off from the areas where he expected to look during winter months.
He took me with him one spring morning, and he filled up his sack quickly. I would have to be extremely careful about burning undergrowth and dead leaves to promote morel harvest near my place. And it might do more harm than good if things didn't turn out just right.
It's hard to see a 5 inch tall black or golden morel under 8 inch deep pile of leaves from pecan, ash, cottonwood, oak, willow, walnut, hickory, and other mixed deciduous trees.
Just have a proper fire break encircling your burn area. You'll be fine.

Gotta keep that jaw toasty during these cold, hard months.

Use satellite maps and topographical to plan hikes.

Really? You will SEE ME? I CALL BS 😂
❤TY for the VIDEO 👍✌😊
It's evil mirror universe Adam!
The GOAT
❤❤❤❤
Nice 😁
I'm feeling rather threatened by all this talk of hunting Morels 😮
training season 💪
Bro its still hoth where my morels grow.
sooo, land back?
Nice beard... I'll be following your advice...Again.
I was looking at the thumbnail and wondering who this new guy is.
Nice beard bro
Who is this beared guy?
Never found a single one and six min in and no tips .Oh well still a fan
Boy am i excited to get out and crush it this year.
💚
never mind all that, just look around for mushrooms.
out here in western maryland, i can never fifnd morels
One of my best morell hunts made no sense to me at all, it wasn't in the woods but an open field of tall grass and small bushes.
Miss his babyface
Lost me at deer hunting.
Huh?
Comparing this to the murder of animals, nope you've lost a subscriber.
Cry harder.
the facial hair made me do a double take
