Mushroom Foraging in Mid April - Burn Morels, Early Spring Morels, Funeral Bells & More!

Описание: In this episode, we'll once again set out foraging wild mushrooms, primarily in search of one of our absolute favorite Spring wild edibles, the Burn Morel. This week we'll return to a wildfire burn site to update viewers on the status of morels -- we'll forage delicious edible mushrooms while, at the same time, pointing out some deadly poisonous mushrooms that are good to be aware of and, of course, to avoid! We'll marvel at pyrophilous fungi (that is, "fire loving" fungi) and take a deeper look into forest ecology, as well as the role that mushrooms play in it all!

Here's a little bit of what you can expect to see:
