hey i'm gonna go take care of two things here in my backyard i've gotta check my
fence line cause we had some uh windstorms and it may have blown down some trees over
the fences i'm also gonna scout out for some real mushrooms yeah it's the season stay tuned
so
welcome back to pine meadows hobby farm i'm your host jerry hansen this is my native edible series
uh we're gonna check the fence lines like i said in the bumper and we're
gonna look for some morels up here on my mountain
uh so let's let's go hunting there's a casualty of the windstorm completely uprooted dude
um these mushrooms like to grow right around the 1800 foot elevation and the
apex of my mountain is 2 000 feet and they like this type of forest cover so
this is where i usually find them in my backyard
so
there's just a narrow swath of land on this mountainside that they grow oh
about 75 feet wide and across this is the only place where i find them on my land i
found many in the past in the last two years i haven't found anything yeah i got skunked
i don't know somebody's been up here before me trespassing on my land and harvesting them before
i get up here if that's the case i'll catch him on trail cam and post my no trespassing signs
again while i'm back here i'm just checking my fence line looks like a tree had busted
off down there and the neighbors got to it fixed the fence that's a good thing
there's my corner post way down there that's the corner of my property see that post yep
i'm going to follow the ridge line right across the to the apex and then continue
down just checking out the fence line and looking for morels
well this part of the fence looks good and intact
right now i'm standing on the very top of my property this is 2 000 feet right here
oh rats i was afraid that was going to be the case right back in the back corner oh yeah
i'm gonna bring a chainsaw cut this off
repair my fence yeah this this exposes coyotes to get in that's
dangerous that's just dangerous a lot of trees fell up here we have a lot of uh dead fall too
well the fence line looks really good along here
i can't see down past about a hundred feet i'll have to go down there and look
but yeah i got this tree i got to get off and get that fence repaired
oh there's a big old sugar pine that i had fouled and this one is huge
well if anything at least i'm getting a nice walk yep
you know it's possible it's just too early i usually find them around mother's day uh
but there's no mushrooms that have popped up up here
there are in other places around us but not here on my backyard
the fence line's intact over here too it's just that one back corner where that tree
uprooted and fell on the fence yeah i gotta take care of that more exercise yeah
well that's it on this adventure i got some exercise yes uh so please stay tuned to our
next adventure we're gonna go back up there we're going to keep checking for mushrooms and also i'm
