yellow yellow everybody wants to know well what's causing these morels to be here there's cottonwoods here it's cottonwoods cotton Woods cottonwoods cottonwoods River Maples River Maples but the main thing is the transition line but uh we're going to cover this transition line okay between healthy mature Forest big healthy you can see the green it's healthy it's happy it's stable the mycelium in the ground out there is healthy healthy stable it's steady Edy it's easy as it goes it's happy get over here along this transition line between the healthiness and the stuff that has been flooded in recent years or that had too much water and killed these trees from too much water the good melium out here in this healthy Forest trying to spread out into here and and regain this and get its get its life back over here so it's it's springing up Morels on the transition line I can't say it enough the transition line between one type of an area to another transition lines can be caused by tornadoes loggers beavers um flooding when you spot a change in the woods suddenly look sharp okay let gather some up I can see a few spatter out through here donkey FS baby FS Bucket Fillers twins

these I'm GNA leave them there my buckets over there and that 6,000lb backpack bucket need to invent one Johnny Johnny Johnny on the bucket bucket on the back yeah loopy time loopy time lacking a little nourishment caffeine working on the second bucket we got one five gallon bucket full right there if you're just tuning in okay still out here in the um in the nuke zone drop the ab bomb out here growing these freak [Music] morals still close to the same area Okay um just working this aduc cane um the timber the woods are right there okay we're just out here into this cane a little farther went right in here in that mess and we got some uh we got some nuclear freaks here some genetic defects look at them Beauties wow they're getting some stems are they're growing by the minute look at the stems starting to get them vertical strations in it okay starting to look like tree stumps and they're just gaining moisture getting really plump and juicy um all these are have double double walled stems um and that's just from this second burst of growth um I grabbed one to pinch it off I think it was that one and the stem was really stiff and firm and I don't know man I don't know maybe you guys can see they there's they're double double walled there see it through these sides here you can see the top layer and then the second layer down below and he's got like three layers here's a here's a leg double leg guy okay and look at look through the base of him to his stem so we're starting to get some serious uh and he's got striations all up and started That's Just Happening throughout the day today as it's getting hot and juicy and humid after that rain last night they're really swelling up and um we're witnessing it and I love this kind of stuff been here done it several times a lot of people don't understand that these kind of things happen in their growth process and stuff but that guy is solid he's he's uh he's solid he's thick skinned he's quarter inch thick skinned and that's just happened overnight there's a tick big one yum this guy's got like three layers and they start out like that start like that new it's just the layers aren't when they're born when they first emerge they're like that it's just that the layers aren't pronounced you can see there's a more of a more of a solid tube there hopefully we can see that and then there's a kind of this outer layer and those it's always there it's just more microscopic when they're fresh and new and babies and they went through harsh conditions and these them layers have kind of separated through the dryness and moisture and back and forth and um it's just kind of becoming more pronounced and it's definitely probably something to do with as a defense mechanism to um survive the dry and the wind and they're they want to get as big as they can to and to open up and Spore out and blow out and make as many spores as they can that's their job it's not necessarily double walled or whatever but um the inside is not yet okay it's just normal but it's extremely extremely thick ah wow he's he's a half inch half inch thick easy maybe thicker so yeah that's the second bu bucket full um I don't know what to do now got figure something out here got me a little shady spot here to figure out some things somewhat got a little patch of shade here got morels all around me here out here in the blast site I got one bucket full already with the lid on it strapped to the backpack we got number two there um so okay got out got my got my snacks in the bucket got some spare batteries for my cameras out of the backpack got a drink mounted on the outside of my backpack and one of those deals on the other side um cuz I can't got all that stuff out cuz I can't really access my zippers to get in the backpack without undoing all this mess so should be good to go got a cooler in the truck with ice in it soon as I get back there the stuff will go in that cooler and get them cooled back down time for a fig bar okay super packed raspberry all right I got a peach pie of course who doesn't got some green trees got to get up in there it's a new section of greenery heading that way okay as you can see we're in some different scenery here all of a sudden like magic um out Beyond them green tops that's them green tops I was pointing in po that reporting from last time out in the field uh transitioned into um nice River Bottom stuff lots of sycamores in here one there one there lots of white tops off in the distance hopefully we can see them picked a few nice uh nice Blondie ones
