- Yeah, Jack is from there. 01:41.066 --> 01:44.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% And he did well, and I couldn't be prouder of him. 01:44.633 --> 01:48.600 align:start

line:79.33% size:28.13% So let's get to the introductions. 02:23.033 --> 02:24.633 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% - Real quick tonight. 02:24.633 --> 02:27.933 align:start

02:31.933 --> 02:34.433 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% Here's a guy that many of you haven't seen, 02:34.433 --> 02:36.300 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% although he's been on this program, 02:36.300 --> 02:38.166 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% the next guy, the redheaded one, 02:38.166 --> 02:41.000 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% that's Will Lanier, and whenever you send 02:41.000 --> 02:45.233 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% those creepy crawlers in to Montana State University, 02:45.233 --> 02:49.066 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% this is the guy that determines what they are. 02:49.066 --> 02:52.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% He has libraries full of books and pictures 02:52.366 --> 02:54.400 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% and he looks these little things up 02:54.400 --> 02:59.400 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% and says, "Well, this is a granddaddy long leg spider" 02:59.433 --> 03:02.300 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% or whatever it is he does say about them. 03:02.300 --> 03:06.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% And next, a mycologist, Cathy Cripps. 03:06.700 --> 03:09.600 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% Cathy's been here before, she's a mycologist, 03:09.600 --> 03:13.700 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:58.13% a biologist, she teaches in the department of plant science, 03:13.700 --> 03:16.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% plant pathology, she does research 03:16.933 --> 03:21.300 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:58.13% associated with the possibility of growing mushrooms 03:21.300 --> 03:23.800 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% in the state of Montana as well as 03:23.800 --> 03:27.733 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% using fungi and other valuable tools 03:27.733 --> 03:31.200 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% to increase plant production, for instance. 03:31.200 --> 03:34.433 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% And we're gonna come back to her in just a second 03:34.433 --> 03:37.633 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% and she's gonna show you a few things, 03:37.633 --> 03:41.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% but I should point out that those pans are real, 03:41.966 --> 03:45.533 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and they're hot, and Jack has been stirring the butter 03:45.533 --> 03:48.700 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% in those things and we're gonna look at mushrooms 03:48.700 --> 03:51.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% and, according to Jack, have the first ever 03:51.466 --> 03:54.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% mushroom cooking show in the state of Montana. 03:54.566 --> 03:55.400 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% - Sounds like a plan. 03:55.400 --> 03:58.633 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:26.25% - And he's the orchestrator of it. 03:58.633 --> 04:03.300 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% And that is Jack Riesselman who is a plant pathologist 04:03.300 --> 04:07.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% who will deal with your pathological questions. 04:07.800 --> 04:09.433 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:37.5% Pathology questions. 04:09.433 --> 04:13.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% Martha Mikkelson, Kelly Hansen, and Cheryl Moore 04:15.366 --> 04:18.700 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% will be glad to take your calls right now. 04:18.700 --> 04:21.200 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:22.5% Now let's go immediately to Cathy, 04:21.200 --> 04:25.333 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% and she can point out some of the numerous things 04:25.333 --> 04:27.466 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% she has in front of her, and we know 04:27.466 --> 04:30.200 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% what the frying pans are, so just concentrate 04:30.200 --> 04:31.033 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% on the other stuff. 04:31.033 --> 04:33.133 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% - Okay, forget the frying pans, okay. 04:33.133 --> 04:36.866 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% Um, well I went out and picked some wild mushrooms 04:36.866 --> 04:37.900 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% just a few days ago. 04:37.900 --> 04:41.566 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% Now Jack brought in some of those from the grocery store, 04:41.566 --> 04:42.800 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% but we're gonna cook both. 04:42.800 --> 04:45.666 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% I don't know if you can get a shot of this, 04:45.666 --> 04:49.566 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% but the first one I wanna talk about is the yellow morel. 04:49.566 --> 04:54.566 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% And I've got quite a few examples here 04:54.700 --> 04:58.466 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% These are out right now, these are picked three days ago, 04:58.466 --> 05:02.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% down in the cottonwoods along the larger rivers, 05:02.200 --> 05:04.133 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% I'm not going to say exactly where. 05:04.133 --> 05:08.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% The problem right now is the river's coming up 05:08.033 --> 05:11.066 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and the yellow morels are right down there on the banks, 05:11.066 --> 05:14.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% so it's gonna be a race, because it just rained 05:14.266 --> 05:16.466 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% and more should be coming up. 05:16.466 --> 05:21.400 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% The yellow morels, um, let me just grab one of these 05:21.400 --> 05:24.700 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% and hold it up here, have pits, 05:24.700 --> 05:29.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% maybe we can do a close-up, pits and ridges on the cap, 05:29.433 --> 05:32.333 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% this is a yellow morel or a blond morel. 05:33.433 --> 05:37.633 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% The pits have the spores and the ridges are light colored 05:37.633 --> 05:40.566 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:26.25% on this yellow morel, and the stalk, 05:40.566 --> 05:41.666 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% even though it says yellow, 05:41.666 --> 05:44.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% the stalk's kind of a whitish cream color. 05:44.366 --> 05:46.466 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% Now if you cut one of these in half, 05:46.466 --> 05:50.133 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% I'll get my knife out here, one of the best ways 05:50.133 --> 05:53.833 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% to look and see if you've got a true morel 05:55.466 --> 06:00.366 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% is to see if it has a total hollow in the center like that. 06:00.366 --> 06:05.200 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% And we might have some insects in there, too. 06:05.200 --> 06:07.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% That's your department, that's right. 06:07.700 --> 06:10.466 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% But that one hollow from the top of the cap 06:10.466 --> 06:13.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% all the way down to the bottom is a good way 06:13.100 --> 06:15.400 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% to tell if you have a true morel. 06:15.400 --> 06:18.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% And again, these are down in the cottonwoods. 06:18.366 --> 06:21.833 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% Also I have a black morel. 06:21.833 --> 06:26.266 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% I only have one of these, and the black morel, 06:26.266 --> 06:29.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% let's see, here's the yellow and by contrast, 06:29.366 --> 06:31.166 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% it looks similar, maybe it almost looks 06:31.166 --> 06:34.333 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% like an older one, still has pits and ridges, 06:34.333 --> 06:36.733 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% but notice that those ridges are black. 06:36.733 --> 06:39.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% As it gets older, they turn black. 06:39.000 --> 06:42.066 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% Cut it in half, it's still all one big hollow. 06:43.333 --> 06:48.333 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% Now we've had some problems with one of the false morels 06:48.433 --> 06:52.366 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% in Montana, so I wanted to bring a few of these in. 06:52.366 --> 06:57.366 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% And these are gyromitras, 06:57.466 --> 07:01.033 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% this is the snowbank false morel. 07:01.033 --> 07:03.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% And you might think well gee, this one doesn't look 07:03.266 --> 07:06.733 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% anything like a morel, it's reddish brown, 07:06.733 --> 07:09.033 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% kind of wrinkled, this one may look 07:09.033 --> 07:11.100 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% a little bit more like a morel. 07:11.100 --> 07:13.700 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% These are poisonous, these are toxic. 07:13.700 --> 07:15.966 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% So you've got reddish brown and 07:15.966 --> 07:18.500 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% instead of pits and wrinkles, you've got, 07:18.500 --> 07:20.633 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% or instead of pits and ridges, you have wrinkles. 07:20.633 --> 07:23.533 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% I call it the brain, kind of looks like a brain 07:23.533 --> 07:26.933 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% or maybe a walnut mushroom, something like that. 07:26.933 --> 07:30.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% So reddish and wrinkles, reddish you're deadish, 07:30.666 --> 07:31.866 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% they actually wouldn't kill you, 07:31.866 --> 07:36.133 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% but these have a rocket fuel, monomethylhydrazine, 07:36.133 --> 07:39.166 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:52.5% or at least the ones related to it have monomethylhydrazine. 07:39.166 --> 07:41.833 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% We don't want to mix those up, do we? 07:41.833 --> 07:44.266 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% No, be careful there. 07:44.266 --> 07:45.100 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:15% So, um-- 07:45.100 --> 07:47.266 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - [Bob] Kathy, those are not hollow? 07:47.266 --> 07:49.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - These are not hollow, and what these have 07:49.266 --> 07:53.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% is kind of a convoluted chamber inside, 07:55.400 --> 07:57.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% and if you can get a picture of that 07:57.000 --> 07:59.166 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% so you don't see that one big hollow. 07:59.166 --> 08:03.000 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% Now some of the young ones might look a little bit hollow, 08:03.000 --> 08:05.233 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% but I think you can tell the difference 08:05.233 --> 08:08.300 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% in those wrinkles, if you think brain or walnut 08:08.300 --> 08:10.466 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% and reddish you're deadish just to, 08:11.300 --> 08:13.700 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% for something to keep in mind. 08:13.700 --> 08:16.200 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% Oops there's some little things crawling around in here, 08:16.200 --> 08:17.633 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% that's your department. 08:17.633 --> 08:18.966 align:start position:46.25% line:84.67% size:7.5% Yep. 08:18.966 --> 08:20.800 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% So you wanna watch out for these, 08:20.800 --> 08:23.766 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% and some of the mushroom poisonings in Montana, 08:23.766 --> 08:25.766 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:24.38% Denver poison center keeps track, 08:25.766 --> 08:28.566 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% and this is one that seems to be causing 08:28.566 --> 08:31.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% some kind of problem, so I just wanted 08:31.366 --> 08:32.833 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% to bring it out and show you. 08:33.833 --> 08:38.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% And, uh, well, one more edible, should I do this one? 08:38.300 --> 08:39.100 align:start position:40.62% line:84.67% size:18.75% All right. 08:39.100 --> 08:39.933 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - Let's take a look at this one, 08:39.933 --> 08:41.700 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% you see a lot of them around the state. 08:41.700 --> 08:43.200 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:13.13% - Okay. 08:43.200 --> 08:46.633 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% Well we've got two here, this is an oyster mushroom, 08:46.633 --> 08:51.066 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% and this was picked also down under the cottonwoods, 08:51.066 --> 08:53.033 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% and you can see that it's on wood. 08:54.000 --> 08:57.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% It usually doesn't have quite that long a stem, 08:57.000 --> 08:58.966 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% the stem's usually a little bit shorter 08:58.966 --> 09:00.766 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% and kind of ridges all the way up under 09:00.766 --> 09:03.466 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and it's called an oyster mushroom, it sits like this, 09:03.466 --> 09:05.633 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% and these look like little oyster shells, 09:06.533 --> 09:09.300 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% kind of a brownish grayish color cap. 09:10.466 --> 09:12.600 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% These are out in the wild for the picking 09:12.600 --> 09:14.533 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% on aspen and cottonwood. 09:14.533 --> 09:17.800 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% Now Jack's brought in the cultivated variety here. 09:17.800 --> 09:22.466 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% It's a little bit wimpier, but just as tasty, 09:22.466 --> 09:24.633 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and you can buy these in the grocery store. 09:25.666 --> 09:28.566 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% Same species, well, actually that's probably 09:28.566 --> 09:31.166 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% a little bit different species than this one. 09:31.166 --> 09:33.133 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% So we have two species of those. 09:33.133 --> 09:34.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - And these probably taste better 09:34.766 --> 09:36.000 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% than the standard mushrooms 09:36.000 --> 09:38.333 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% that we get from the grocery store. 09:38.333 --> 09:39.766 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% But we're gonna check them out tonight 09:39.766 --> 09:43.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% and see, with Bob's exquisite taste buds, 09:43.366 --> 09:45.933 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% which ones taste the best. 09:45.933 --> 09:47.300 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% - [Cathy] Well they'll taste different. 09:47.300 --> 09:50.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% I don't know if you can say this will be better, 09:50.000 --> 09:52.800 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% these portabello mushrooms are awfully good. 09:52.800 --> 09:55.900 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% - You see how politically correct Cathy is? 09:55.900 --> 09:58.133 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% - [Cathy] That's right. 09:58.133 --> 10:01.366 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% - I wanna ask her though, which are the mushrooms 10:01.366 --> 10:05.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% that caused such a furor in the forest areas 10:05.266 --> 10:08.166 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% of Oregon and Washington at this time of the year 10:08.166 --> 10:11.766 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% that have people chasing and shooting at each other? 10:11.766 --> 10:14.033 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% - Well, that's the morels. 10:14.033 --> 10:14.866 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:31.88% - [Hayden] Is it? 10:14.866 --> 10:16.000 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% - Well, they have some later on 10:16.000 --> 10:18.266 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% which would be the chanterelles. 10:18.266 --> 10:20.233 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% And that'll be in the fall. 10:20.233 --> 10:22.466 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% And the fall is actually when, 10:22.466 --> 10:23.966 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% probably when the guns come out 10:23.966 --> 10:25.600 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:26.25% and people are shooting at each other. 10:25.600 --> 10:29.433 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% They have a huge chanterelle crop, 10:29.433 --> 10:32.766 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:45% and the chanterelles are picked by commercial pickers, 10:32.766 --> 10:35.233 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% so a lot of people come in, pick, and sell them 10:35.233 --> 10:36.866 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% to those commercial people. 10:36.866 --> 10:38.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% And so it's worth a lot of money. 10:38.933 --> 10:42.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - Now, I don't know when Jack is gonna start cooking, 10:42.866 --> 10:46.233 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% he's busy cutting now, we're gonna move on 10:46.233 --> 10:49.233 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% and we'll come back, of course, to Cathy 10:49.233 --> 10:52.500 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% for a bunch of questions that you may well have. 10:52.500 --> 10:56.400 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% Right now, we'll move to Jack and ask him a question. 10:56.400 --> 10:59.100 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% And this one is from Joplin. 10:59.100 --> 11:02.200 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% And they have patches in their spring wheat, 11:02.200 --> 11:04.600 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% it's up to the two leaf stage, 11:04.600 --> 11:06.633 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% that are turning yellow and dying, 11:06.633 --> 11:09.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% and some of these leaves have, are sterated, 11:09.966 --> 11:13.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% like they're yellow and green and yellow and green, 11:13.233 --> 11:15.300 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% serrated, not sterated. 11:16.400 --> 11:20.933 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% The seed was created with Raxmull Extra. 11:20.933 --> 11:22.866 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% They had very cold weather. 11:22.866 --> 11:24.800 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - [Jack] You got it right there. 11:24.800 --> 11:25.666 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% - [Hayden] Give it a shot. 11:25.666 --> 11:26.533 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% - What you're seeing is frost damage. 11:26.533 --> 11:30.266 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:54.38% Joplin area probably got down to around 20, 21, 22 degrees 11:30.266 --> 11:31.900 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% a little over a week ago. 11:31.900 --> 11:34.333 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% It's since warmed up, when that happens, 11:34.333 --> 11:37.133 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% you will get some yellow banding or white banding 11:37.133 --> 11:40.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% on barley, on spring wheat, and bottom line is, 11:40.766 --> 11:41.900 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% it should come right out of it. 11:41.900 --> 11:44.166 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% The new leaves that come out will be fine 11:44.166 --> 11:47.266 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:58.13% and I would not be particularly worried about it, Hayden. 11:47.266 --> 11:50.800 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% - They wondered if this wheatening could 11:50.800 --> 11:55.333 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% a fungal or some other kind of an infection, Jack. 11:55.333 --> 11:56.333 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% - Uh, that's a good question. 11:56.333 --> 11:59.066 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% Any time you stress a plant, Hayden, I think anyone knows 11:59.066 --> 12:00.966 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% that you increase the likelihood of having 12:00.966 --> 12:03.966 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% some fungal activity, pathogenic activity. 12:03.966 --> 12:06.133 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% But in reality, it's early enough in the season 12:06.133 --> 12:07.866 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% that the canopy isn't that heavy. 12:07.866 --> 12:09.600 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% With the last few days of warm weather, 12:09.600 --> 12:11.300 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% a few showers too, I don't think it's 12:11.300 --> 12:14.833 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% gonna predispose it to any particular disease problem. 12:14.833 --> 12:16.300 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% - Okay, good deal. 12:16.300 --> 12:21.300 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% Let's jump right now to Bob, and we have two questions, 12:21.333 --> 12:24.533 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% one an email, one sent in last week 12:24.533 --> 12:28.200 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% from different places, though, and they're interested 12:28.200 --> 12:31.466 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% in growing relatively tall grass, 12:31.466 --> 12:36.366 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% especially in shade areas, and they want it to stand up. 12:36.366 --> 12:40.000 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% In other words, under the trees, what kind of grasses 12:40.000 --> 12:45.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% am I going to be able to grow in, say 85% shade, 12:46.566 --> 12:51.333 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% or directly under the pine tree, the spruce, or whatever. 12:51.333 --> 12:52.433 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% - [Bob] None. 12:52.433 --> 12:54.766 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - [Hayden] That's my opinion too, but expand on it. 12:54.766 --> 12:57.300 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% - There's not, that's why there's no grass growing 12:57.300 --> 13:00.333 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:41.25% under pine trees, it's too shady, it's too dry, 13:00.333 --> 13:03.766 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:30% the pine needles form a natural mulch, 13:03.766 --> 13:05.133 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% and you're not going to have any luck 13:05.133 --> 13:08.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% growing any grass under pine trees. 13:08.000 --> 13:08.833 align:start position:44.38% line:84.67% size:11.25% Sorry. 13:08.833 --> 13:09.800 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% - [Cathy] Maybe mushrooms. 13:09.800 --> 13:11.833 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% - Mushrooms, maybe. 13:11.833 --> 13:16.266 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% - These people said if you want a grass that stands up 13:16.266 --> 13:21.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% in the shade if it's not too intensive a shade, 13:21.533 --> 13:25.100 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:33.75% bunch grass is the best bet, but they said 13:25.100 --> 13:27.400 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% they'd prefer not to grow bunch grass. 13:27.400 --> 13:31.433 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - Well, fescues, if you wanna try some grass, 13:31.433 --> 13:34.600 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% some of your fine fescues are clumpy type grasses, 13:34.600 --> 13:36.500 align:start

align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% but they won't do that well under pine trees. 13:41.033 --> 13:42.100 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% Too heavy a shade. 13:43.500 --> 13:48.500 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% - And as you move out, the grass is gonna be elongated 13:49.333 --> 13:50.700 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% in the shade, it's that simple. 13:50.700 --> 13:51.533 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:31.88% - [Bob] Oh, sure. 13:52.566 --> 13:56.633 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% - Okay, and we really don't have an answer to your question, 13:56.633 --> 13:57.466 align:start position:40.62% line:79.33% size:16.88% truth is. - [Bob] We did. 13:57.466 --> 13:59.500 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% - We did answer it, but not. 14:02.066 --> 14:03.566 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:26.25% From Alberton. 14:04.766 --> 14:08.266 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% Will, this, they have 20 acres of forest land, 14:08.266 --> 14:10.900 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% they have lodgepole pine that are losing their bark 14:10.900 --> 14:12.866 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% and the needles are turning red. 14:12.866 --> 14:15.833 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% They haven't seen insects, but they think 14:15.833 --> 14:17.333 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% that's the culprit. 14:17.333 --> 14:19.600 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% You've got a guess on that? 14:19.600 --> 14:23.900 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% - Yes, a common, a common problem, pine trees. 14:23.900 --> 14:25.466 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% I think the thing to remember, 14:27.566 --> 14:30.566 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% if you stress a tree, you might, you allow things 14:30.566 --> 14:34.700 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% to eat into it, and borers are maybe the main pest 14:34.700 --> 14:37.300 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% that accomplishes that. 14:37.300 --> 14:39.866 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% Without an ID or without seeing some needles, 14:39.866 --> 14:41.466 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% I might not be too accurate, 14:41.466 --> 14:43.166 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% but if they think they're borers, 14:43.166 --> 14:45.500 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% there may not be a lot they can do about them. 14:46.400 --> 14:50.733 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% Once the tree is stressed, it can't ooze a lot of sap 14:50.733 --> 14:53.433 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% against the borer chewing into the tree. 14:53.433 --> 14:56.266 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% So the borer has an easier time swimming upstream 14:56.266 --> 14:59.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% into the tree, and once it gets under the bark 14:59.233 --> 15:02.000 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% into the structural wood or dead wood, 15:02.000 --> 15:04.766 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% you can't really circulate anything in there. 15:04.766 --> 15:07.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% You might not want to on 20 acres of forest land, 15:07.200 --> 15:09.266 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% either, it's prohibited. 15:09.266 --> 15:12.900 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% So it's part of, trees don't last forever, 15:12.900 --> 15:16.133 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% and it's a natural cycle. 15:16.133 --> 15:17.533 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% - I wanted to ask Jack about this, 15:17.533 --> 15:22.500 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% because a lot of pine trees, you see an area 15:22.500 --> 15:24.900 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% along a mountainside that is, 15:24.900 --> 15:27.800 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% you think that might be disease or insect 15:27.800 --> 15:30.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% and it's very often temperature fluctuation. 15:30.766 --> 15:31.600 align:start position:44.38% line:84.67% size:9.38% Jack. 15:31.600 --> 15:34.066 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% - Yeah, you see that very commonly. 15:34.066 --> 15:36.400 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% There's a term for it, it's called red band I think, 15:36.400 --> 15:38.233 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% isn't it, Bob, you've heard it. 15:38.233 --> 15:39.400 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% The other thing you often see, Hayden, 15:39.400 --> 15:41.500 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% is a lot of times as you're driving down a highway 15:41.500 --> 15:45.033 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% is you'll see that where the snow layer up against the tree 15:45.033 --> 15:48.600 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% has been there and then you get some of the needles 15:48.600 --> 15:51.500 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% on the lower portion protected, then you get a band in there 15:51.500 --> 15:54.266 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% which I think is ozone or some type of pollution damage. 15:54.266 --> 15:57.833 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% See that very commonly along 191 on Gallatin River. 15:57.833 --> 15:59.300 align:start position:40.62% line:84.67% size:18.75% - Oh yeah. 15:59.300 --> 16:03.100 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% And nitrate and ozone from cars 16:03.100 --> 16:06.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% certainly do, especially in the east coast, 16:06.833 --> 16:11.833 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% cause serious problem, sulfur nitrate on the mountaintops 16:12.266 --> 16:15.133 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% of the pine type trees, so you can. 16:16.200 --> 16:21.200 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% And Cathy is busy sorting out the little bugs 16:22.433 --> 16:23.266 align:start position:38.75% line:84.67% size:20.63% out of her. 16:26.633 --> 16:28.066 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% - We have some extra protein. 16:28.066 --> 16:30.533 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% - But we got a call from Missoula 16:30.533 --> 16:33.600 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% and they just bought a mushroom kit. 16:33.600 --> 16:34.800 align:start position:46.25% line:84.67% size:7.5% And, 16:38.300 --> 16:40.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% over the, I think it says over the internet, 16:40.566 --> 16:42.333 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% but it doesn't matter where they got it. 16:42.333 --> 16:47.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% They want to know the fertilizer, the watering, 16:47.100 --> 16:50.066 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% I mean how do I get into mushroom business, 16:50.066 --> 16:53.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% and that's part of your research, so 16:53.000 --> 16:54.266 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30% - Dive right in. 16:54.266 --> 16:56.633 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% Well, those mushroom kits are actually 16:56.633 --> 16:59.733 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% a good way to start, and I'm doing some of my research 16:59.733 --> 17:03.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% with Garden City Fungi, which is outside of Missoula, 17:03.933 --> 17:07.433 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and they sell some really excellent mushroom kits 17:07.433 --> 17:09.666 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% for growing oyster mushroom and shiitake mushrooms. 17:11.766 --> 17:13.166 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% They would probably look similar 17:13.166 --> 17:15.633 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% to those small oyster mushrooms Jack had, 17:15.633 --> 17:19.633 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and here's a shiitake mushroom with a tough stem. 17:19.633 --> 17:23.500 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% And how these kits come is boxed up, 17:23.500 --> 17:28.500 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% you get, well, you have a box of a block of sawdust, 17:28.966 --> 17:31.400 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% and you take that block out and now you want 17:31.400 --> 17:33.700 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% to put it into a humid place. 17:33.700 --> 17:36.533 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% And humidity's kind of hard to find in Montana, 17:36.533 --> 17:38.366 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% so it comes with a, 17:39.866 --> 17:42.433 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% there goes the wine into the mushrooms, uh-oh. 17:43.900 --> 17:46.966 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% There's humidity and steam right there, on cue. 17:46.966 --> 17:50.900 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% So if you put a, there we go, a plastic bag 17:50.900 --> 17:54.766 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% over that block and spray that block every day, 17:54.766 --> 17:56.433 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% mushrooms should come out. 17:56.433 --> 17:58.866 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% I think getting one of those kits is a good way 17:58.866 --> 18:01.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% to start and decide if you wanna grow mushrooms, 18:01.000 --> 18:04.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% because there you can learn all the things 18:04.033 --> 18:07.900 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% that can go wrong, I mean you learn if it dries out, 18:07.900 --> 18:09.300 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% I need humidity. 18:09.300 --> 18:12.866 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% You might have some other molds come in on there 18:12.866 --> 18:14.266 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% that can be a problem. 18:14.266 --> 18:17.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% But if you like doing it, then there are ways 18:17.100 --> 18:21.733 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% you can learn to pasteurize straw to grow oyster mushrooms, 18:21.733 --> 18:22.866 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:26.25% or wood chips. 18:22.866 --> 18:27.866 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - Do you have a, do you have one of the extension guides 18:28.166 --> 18:31.433 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% that you put out for the media to grow the mushrooms 18:31.433 --> 18:33.833 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% and the watering system and all that. 18:33.833 --> 18:36.900 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% - You know, we don't, we haven't done that yet. 18:36.900 --> 18:39.600 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% There are a lot of, we could do something like that, 18:39.600 --> 18:41.500 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% there are a lot of internet sites 18:41.500 --> 18:44.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% that talk about growing mushrooms, and they, there's, 18:44.566 --> 18:46.466 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% they actually will sell some little books, 18:46.466 --> 18:47.700 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% there's a five dollar book, 18:47.700 --> 18:50.000 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% Is Shiitake Growing Mushrooms for Me, 18:50.000 --> 18:53.166 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% so I start people out with a book like that 18:53.166 --> 18:57.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% and then also on the internet, you could start 18:57.100 --> 19:01.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% with Garden City Fungi's site and, um, 19:01.000 --> 19:03.400 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% get directions there just to get started. 19:03.400 --> 19:05.700 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% It's pretty easy for some of the oyster mushrooms 19:05.700 --> 19:08.533 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% if you're just going to do it just to have a few bags. 19:08.533 --> 19:12.300 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% You need straw and you need a starter. 19:12.300 --> 19:17.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% - Jack, here's a question from Missoula, 19:17.000 --> 19:19.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% they wanna know if lilacs get blight. 19:21.166 --> 19:23.100 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:37.5% - Lilacs get blight. 19:23.100 --> 19:25.900 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% There is a blight and it's very common in Missoula, 19:25.900 --> 19:27.733 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% it's a bacteria blight. 19:27.733 --> 19:29.133 align:start position:38.75% line:10% size:20.63% It's called Pseudomonas syringae, 19:29.133 --> 19:30.733 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% that's the name of the bacteria. 19:32.066 --> 19:33.800 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% You don't see much of it as you move 19:33.800 --> 19:35.066 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% toward the eastern part of the state, 19:35.066 --> 19:36.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% but you get over in that more humid environment 19:36.833 --> 19:39.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% around Missoula, Kalispell area, Polson, 19:39.933 --> 19:43.000 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% you can get a fair amount of bacterial blight. 19:43.000 --> 19:45.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% The thing you have to be cautious about on lilacs 19:45.566 --> 19:48.266 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% is they're also sensitive to frost damage. 19:48.266 --> 19:49.766 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% And you'll get a lot of blackening 19:49.766 --> 19:51.400 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% that's associated with the temperatures 19:51.400 --> 19:54.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% that we had last week, that's not bacterial blight, 19:54.100 --> 19:56.233 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% as far as control, we don't have anything 19:56.233 --> 19:57.600 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% that's really good. 19:57.600 --> 20:01.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - Will this same blight bother an apple tree? 20:02.600 --> 20:04.400 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% - We got a different blight. 20:04.400 --> 20:06.666 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% We have fire blight on apple trees 20:06.666 --> 20:08.766 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% and that's much more serious, yeah. 20:08.766 --> 20:13.000 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% - On this, Jack mentioned the cold damage on the lilac, 20:13.000 --> 20:14.366 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% yeah I've got that on mine. 20:14.366 --> 20:17.133 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% I had 19 degrees last week. 20:17.133 --> 20:20.966 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% - We are simply gonna have about five blossoms 20:20.966 --> 20:25.900 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% on our two big lilac trees, it's been not that good a year 20:25.900 --> 20:29.233 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% for lilacs and apples, too in Gallatin. 20:29.233 --> 20:31.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - What that is, in case any of you out there 20:31.366 --> 20:33.800 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:26.25% notice the new growth on your lilac, 20:33.800 --> 20:36.133 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% maybe a couple of inches of new growth 20:36.133 --> 20:39.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% has just turned black, the leaves are just black. 20:39.566 --> 20:43.200 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% I suspect everything'll, it'll grow out of it after a while. 20:44.733 --> 20:49.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - Here's a question that I'm gonna take a whack at it 20:49.100 --> 20:52.533 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% from Livingston, they installed an irrigation system, 20:52.533 --> 20:56.100 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% and found out that the salinity level 20:56.100 --> 21:00.033 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% in the water they're pumping is 12,000 parts per million, 21:00.033 --> 21:02.033 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% they want to know how this will affect 21:02.033 --> 21:04.633 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% grass and ornamentals. 21:04.633 --> 21:08.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% 12,000 parts per million is gonna translate 21:08.100 --> 21:11.033 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% into an electrical conductivity of some place 21:11.033 --> 21:12.866 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% between 10 and 20. 21:12.866 --> 21:17.333 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% There are almost no plants that'll grow well 21:17.333 --> 21:21.933 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% in a system with an electrical conductivity as high as 10, 21:21.933 --> 21:24.500 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% and in 20 they're in real trouble. 21:24.500 --> 21:26.133 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% - [Bob] Well, date palms will, won't they? 21:26.133 --> 21:27.466 align:start position:38.75% line:84.67% size:20.63% - They may. 21:27.466 --> 21:31.333 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% And you have got a problem. 21:31.333 --> 21:35.233 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% And not only is the electrical conductivity bad, 21:35.233 --> 21:38.900 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% you haven't said what the balance of cations is 21:38.900 --> 21:42.033 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% in that thing, and you better get help 21:42.033 --> 21:45.033 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% before you start putting that on any kind of a plant 21:45.033 --> 21:48.166 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% you wanna grow, because it isn't gonna grow very long. 21:48.166 --> 21:50.066 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% It's pretty much that simple. 21:52.033 --> 21:55.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% Okay, the roots of their large pine tree 21:55.366 --> 21:58.133 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% are on top of the soil and you can't mow over them, 21:58.133 --> 22:00.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% you can't walk on them, can they chop some of them 22:00.633 --> 22:02.933 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% out of there without killing the tree? 22:02.933 --> 22:05.000 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% They fertilized the tree with spikes 22:05.000 --> 22:07.833 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% and they wanna know if that increased it. 22:07.833 --> 22:09.433 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% - You mean fertilizer spikes? 22:09.433 --> 22:10.766 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% - [Hayden] Yes, not-- 22:10.766 --> 22:12.533 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% - Not 40 penny spikes. 22:12.533 --> 22:15.266 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% - Well they may have been, might be an iron deficiency. 22:16.233 --> 22:21.233 align:start position:20% line:10% size:60% - No, the, aw, that'll certainly galvanize this program. 22:22.900 --> 22:25.400 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% The surface roots are a common problem, 22:25.400 --> 22:27.733 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% not only on pine but particularly on maple. 22:28.866 --> 22:33.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% Quite often, they're due to either heavy compacted soil 22:33.433 --> 22:36.333 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% or high water tables or for some other reason, 22:36.333 --> 22:38.900 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% the roots can't go down, they have to stay up 22:38.900 --> 22:41.133 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% to get sufficient oxygen. 22:41.133 --> 22:43.233 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% You can't go in and cut out major roots 22:43.233 --> 22:45.766 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% because you'll have major damage to your tree. 22:45.766 --> 22:49.000 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% The branches that are fed from those particular roots 22:49.000 --> 22:51.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% that you cut out are gonna die back, 22:51.000 --> 22:53.200 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% so you'll have a funny looking tree. 22:53.200 --> 22:54.766 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% You need to live with them. 22:54.766 --> 22:57.400 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% Now you can back fill very slightly 22:57.400 --> 23:00.666 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% with extremely well-aerated soil, 23:00.666 --> 23:04.466 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% coarse gravel or something, over the top of those roots 23:04.466 --> 23:07.033 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% or in between those roots. 23:07.033 --> 23:09.800 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% But certainly don't go in there and put on 23:09.800 --> 23:13.000 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% a foot of topsoil, that'll smother everything out. 23:13.000 --> 23:15.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% So there's not much you can do about surface roots. 23:15.266 --> 23:16.433 align:start position:42.5% line:84.67% size:15% - Right. 23:16.433 --> 23:18.100 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% And all of them will do it. 23:21.200 --> 23:26.200 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% Will, what causes it says buris, in pine trees. 23:29.433 --> 23:31.866 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% Is there more than one cause? 23:31.866 --> 23:32.733 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% What is that word? 23:32.733 --> 23:34.333 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% I think it's burls. 23:34.333 --> 23:35.766 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% And that's what I, yeah, burls. 23:37.133 --> 23:39.100 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - Well I'm thinking that's a gall, 23:39.100 --> 23:42.266 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:31.88% and at some point in that tree's life, 23:42.266 --> 23:45.933 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% an insect began nibbling on the growing point, 23:45.933 --> 23:50.933 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% and caused scar tissue, and you result in the burl. 23:52.766 --> 23:55.466 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% Like a wart or a freckle on a human, 23:56.466 --> 23:57.933 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% aesthetic damage, mostly. 23:58.933 --> 24:03.400 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% - That's, there were a jillion of those in Yellowstone Park 24:03.400 --> 24:07.400 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% one time, because if you look at the decorations 24:07.400 --> 24:11.133 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% on the big lodges, that's what they are made of, 24:11.133 --> 24:14.933 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% those huge, and those are created by some insect. 24:14.933 --> 24:18.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% - At some point, the tree's stage and the insect's stage 24:18.433 --> 24:22.900 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and weather cooperated so those galls became numerous. 24:22.900 --> 24:26.500 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - Okay, Cathy, we're getting all kinds 24:26.500 --> 24:30.133 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% of mushroom questions here so let's take a shot at one. 24:30.133 --> 24:31.866 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% What kind of mushroom 24:38.466 --> 24:43.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% would there be oyster in association with cottonwoods 24:43.533 --> 24:46.033 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% along the riverbed, oyster mushroom. 24:46.033 --> 24:47.633 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% - Oyster mushrooms? 24:47.633 --> 24:50.300 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% Well the oyster mushrooms are on cottonwoods, 24:50.300 --> 24:53.033 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% is that kind of the question or is it, yeah. 24:53.033 --> 24:55.666 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% - It says what kinds of mushrooms can be found 24:55.666 --> 25:00.600 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% in Montana where it is dry, and this is from Hill County. 25:00.833 --> 25:05.166 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% Well Hill County has streams with cottonwoods 25:05.166 --> 25:08.033 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% growing along. - Cottonwoods, oh, okay, yeah. 25:08.033 --> 25:11.433 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% Well, if you're stuck with just cottonwoods 25:11.433 --> 25:14.666 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% down along the streams and that's the only wet area, 25:14.666 --> 25:16.966 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% then you wanna be out there right now 25:16.966 --> 25:20.300 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% looking for the yellow morels which we just talked about, 25:20.300 --> 25:23.166 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% and they'll be under the cottonwoods on the stream banks, 25:23.166 --> 25:25.766 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% and the oyster mushrooms, and this is 25:26.600 --> 25:30.533 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% Pleurotus pulmonarius, is on the cottonwoods. 25:30.533 --> 25:32.633 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% So this is the cottonwood oyster, 25:32.633 --> 25:34.500 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% so these are the two mushrooms that'll be 25:34.500 --> 25:36.900 align:start position:38.75% line:79.33% size:20.63% along those cottonwoods right now. 25:37.733 --> 25:40.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% I don't know what other habitats are over there, 25:40.300 --> 25:43.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% but if it's cottonwoods, it's these right now. 25:43.833 --> 25:45.700 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% - I'm not, if you head up Duck Crick in Hill County, 25:48.266 --> 25:53.300 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% is it Goose Crick or Duck Crick in Hill County 25:53.300 --> 25:55.066 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% up toward the top of the mountains, 25:55.066 --> 25:57.433 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% you're apt to find cottonwoods 25:58.600 --> 26:01.066 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% and in a moist environment they'll do it. 26:01.066 --> 26:04.200 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% But let's not let you get away with that. 26:04.200 --> 26:07.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% They wanna know if there are mushrooms in Montana 26:07.000 --> 26:09.000 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% that are harmful to cattle, 26:09.000 --> 26:11.666 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% especially would they cause a fever? 26:12.500 --> 26:17.400 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% - Hmm, I'd have to say for mushrooms, 26:17.400 --> 26:21.300 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% we usually don't get poison reports for cattle. 26:21.300 --> 26:25.966 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:45% We do get some poisoning reports for cats and dogs 26:25.966 --> 26:29.066 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:30% eating mushrooms and being poisoned. 26:29.066 --> 26:33.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% Cattle, not mushrooms so much as mold in the hay 26:33.633 --> 26:36.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% or moldy hay where there might be some problems, 26:36.266 --> 26:38.166 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% but not the mushrooms. 26:38.166 --> 26:42.266 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% There are also some reports of elk eating mushrooms 26:42.266 --> 26:44.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% early in the spring and I'd really like to know 26:44.200 --> 26:45.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% what these are, they're big white mushrooms, 26:45.966 --> 26:48.600 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% and apparently they make the elk a little bit loopy, 26:48.600 --> 26:50.700 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% and they kind of jump around. 26:50.700 --> 26:53.500 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - I'm gonna see if they don't grow in the fall. 26:53.500 --> 26:58.500 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% I need loopy elk in hunting season. 26:59.066 --> 27:02.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% Well talk about that, because one that grows 27:02.100 --> 27:04.200 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% in the mountains that I'm not sure, 27:04.200 --> 27:08.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% it's certainly a fungi, is the large puffball 27:08.566 --> 27:10.566 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% that is, grows all over the hill. 27:10.566 --> 27:12.000 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% - Oh yeah, yeah. 27:12.000 --> 27:13.066 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% - [Hayden] Do animals eat that thing? 27:13.066 --> 27:15.400 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - Well, some of the smaller animals, 27:15.400 --> 27:18.066 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% I would see small teeth marks on those. 27:18.066 --> 27:19.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% I don't know about some of the larger ones, 27:19.666 --> 27:24.400 align:start position:23.75%

27:26.533 --> 27:28.933 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% driving down the road, they look like big white rocks, 27:28.933 --> 27:31.000 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% you have to be able to differentiate 27:31.000 --> 27:32.866 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% between rocks and large white puffballs, 27:32.866 --> 27:35.233 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% but yes, those are good edible mushrooms, 27:35.233 --> 27:39.266 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% those are western puffballs, you can slice those, 27:39.266 --> 27:41.700 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% you cut those in half, if there is no yellow 27:41.700 --> 27:44.533 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% on the inside then it's still edible and good. 27:44.533 --> 27:47.766 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% If it starts to turn yellow, you get an off flavor, 27:47.766 --> 27:49.900 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% it doesn't taste good, and eventually it becomes 27:49.900 --> 27:53.033 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:52.5% a big sac of spores and then it's not good to eat anymore. 27:53.033 --> 27:55.300 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - Yeah when it turns brown and puffy 27:55.300 --> 27:57.800 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% you don't want to be eating a lot of it. 27:58.833 --> 28:00.133 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - Hayden we're gonna do a taste test 28:00.133 --> 28:00.966 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% with these mushrooms now. 28:00.966 --> 28:02.800 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% - [Hayden] Are we ready now? 28:02.800 --> 28:03.700 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% - [Cathy] Are you ready? 28:03.700 --> 28:06.533 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - We're gonna try to see if, which one of these, 28:06.533 --> 28:07.600 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% that's yours, Bob. 28:07.600 --> 28:08.866 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% - [Bob] Oh that's mine. 28:08.866 --> 28:11.266 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - [Hayden] I'm busy sorting through all these 28:11.266 --> 28:12.900 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% mushroom questions. 28:12.900 --> 28:15.966 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - [Jack] Wait a minute, now I think that one is. 28:15.966 --> 28:16.800 align:start position:40.62% line:84.67% size:16.88% Whatever. 28:16.800 --> 28:18.033 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - [Cathy] What's the difference? 28:18.033 --> 28:21.466 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% - [Hayden] The poison one belongs to Bob. 28:26.100 --> 28:27.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - [Bob] Which one do you want us to taste first? 28:27.833 --> 28:29.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - [Jack] Here Bob, I think that's yours. 28:29.366 --> 28:33.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - While you're Handing these out, we have a question. 28:33.433 --> 28:35.700 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% From Conrad and they want to know 28:37.166 --> 28:41.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% can I use tilt, and I don't know what tilt is, 28:41.033 --> 28:42.966 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:28.13% on malt barley? 28:42.966 --> 28:47.966 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% That's either a fungicide or a weedicide I'd think. 28:48.166 --> 28:50.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% - Yeah Hayden, there's been a lot of questions 28:50.233 --> 28:52.833 align:start position:35% line:10% size:26.25% because of the moisture this year. 28:52.833 --> 28:53.700 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% - [Bob] Hurry up, Jack. 28:53.700 --> 28:54.666 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% - I am, well, okay. 28:55.766 --> 28:57.400 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% Yeah you can, you can use tilt, 28:57.400 --> 28:59.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% you need to go with the full four ounce rate, 28:59.200 --> 29:00.433 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% don't go with the two ounce rate 29:00.433 --> 29:02.000 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% that a lot of people are asking about, 29:02.000 --> 29:04.666 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% and now we're gonna try the mushrooms. 29:04.666 --> 29:07.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% There's shiitake, there's portabello, 29:07.933 --> 29:10.133 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% and cremini, is that right? 29:10.133 --> 29:10.966 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% - [Cathy] Right. 29:10.966 --> 29:13.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - And just a regular old white button mushroom. 29:13.366 --> 29:14.566 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% - [Hayden] Which one is which? 29:14.566 --> 29:16.000 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% - [Cathy] Which one is which? 29:16.000 --> 29:17.133 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% - [Will] This is the morel? 29:17.133 --> 29:20.400 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - No I'm gonna do the morels later, but I'm hungry. 29:20.400 --> 29:21.533 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% - [Will] You're hungry. 29:21.533 --> 29:23.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - [Cathy] So this little one must be the oyster. 29:23.466 --> 29:24.300 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% - Those are the oyster mushrooms, 29:24.300 --> 29:27.833 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% they're small slices, and they have. 29:27.833 --> 29:29.200 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% - I feel terrible. 29:31.933 --> 29:34.700 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% Here's a question from somebody from Helena 29:34.700 --> 29:37.400 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% and we're eating mushrooms while they're wondering 29:37.400 --> 29:40.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% what is the alternative to Kentucky bluegrass. 29:40.700 --> 29:41.633 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% - [Bob] I'm eating. 29:42.933 --> 29:45.566 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% - Is a fescue one of them, what are some alternatives? 29:45.566 --> 29:48.400 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% - Alternative to Kentucky bluegrass in your lawn. 29:49.966 --> 29:51.966 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% Usually the Kentucky bluegrass is mixed 29:51.966 --> 29:54.833 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:54.38% with a fine fescue, you could plant straight fine fescue, 29:54.833 --> 29:58.233 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% although it tends to get a little clumpy after a while. 29:58.233 --> 30:02.200 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:41.25% I'm not sure what sort of conditions you have, 30:02.200 --> 30:03.433 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% what you're asking for. 30:03.433 --> 30:06.466 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% I'll assume you want a lower maintenance, 30:06.466 --> 30:11.466 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% less water requiring grass. 30:12.000 --> 30:15.500 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% Fairway crested wheat grass is one that will 30:15.500 --> 30:17.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% work quite well for you, it won't make a lawn 30:17.666 --> 30:20.433 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% like Kentucky bluegrass, but it'll need less watering 30:20.433 --> 30:21.666 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% than Kentucky bluegrass. 30:23.433 --> 30:26.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% - All right, I've got to say that I move 30:26.033 --> 30:28.500 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% that we bring Cathy back every week. 30:29.966 --> 30:31.766 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% These mushrooms are delicious. 30:31.766 --> 30:33.533 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% - Well, Jack did the cooking. 30:33.533 --> 30:36.233 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% - In the meantime, we're gonna ask Will to quit eating 30:36.233 --> 30:38.400 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% and deal with red and black ants. 30:39.466 --> 30:41.500 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% They also are high in protein. 30:42.533 --> 30:45.833 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% This is from Conrad, they're coming into the house, 30:45.833 --> 30:47.566 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% they're trenching into the lawn, 30:47.566 --> 30:51.000 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% they're killing the grass, they tried to poison them 30:51.000 --> 30:52.466 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% but said it didn't work. 30:53.400 --> 30:54.566 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% How can they get rid of them. 30:54.566 --> 30:58.133 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% Well, I have a lot of ants and my wife poisons them 30:58.133 --> 31:00.466 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% and it works, so expand. 31:00.466 --> 31:03.133 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:54.38% - Well, ants are beneficials. 31:03.133 --> 31:04.433 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:52.5% They're good to have around. 31:04.433 --> 31:07.533 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% Now maybe they're not good to have in your house. 31:07.533 --> 31:10.400 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% So exclusion, trying to plug the hole 31:10.400 --> 31:12.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% the ants are getting in through is your best bet 31:12.833 --> 31:14.000 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:31.88% for in the house. 31:14.000 --> 31:17.833 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% Now you can take it a step farther, you can bait the ants, 31:17.833 --> 31:19.500 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% you can try and find out what they're after, 31:19.500 --> 31:23.000 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% are they after fats, sugars, things like that, 31:23.000 --> 31:25.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% and you might put some of that out, mint jelly 31:25.800 --> 31:28.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% or some butter, and see what they're coming to. 31:28.800 --> 31:31.900 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% Once you determine that, mix a little bit of borax 31:31.900 --> 31:35.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% into that material and have the ants carry that, 31:35.633 --> 31:38.400 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% the bait, back to their nest, you don't want them 31:38.400 --> 31:40.666 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% dying at the bait station. 31:40.666 --> 31:42.266 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% You want them to grab it, you don't want it 31:42.266 --> 31:44.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% to be so strong that they die right there. 31:44.366 --> 31:45.200 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:31.88% - [Hayden] Borax. 31:45.200 --> 31:46.733 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% - Right, and you take it back, and borax is 31:46.733 --> 31:50.066 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% relatively harmless to other things, 31:50.066 --> 31:52.333 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% but to the ants, once they get it in their nest, 31:52.333 --> 31:55.333 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% it makes them sick, and you should see a decrease. 31:55.333 --> 31:57.133 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% That takes a little bit of practice, to get 31:57.133 --> 32:01.900 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% the right mixture, but that's a least toxic, maybe, control. 32:01.900 --> 32:05.100 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% Okay, now you're outside, you might, 32:05.100 --> 32:07.300 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% you've plugged the holes, you maybe tried some baiting, 32:07.300 --> 32:09.400 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% it's not working, or well enough, 32:09.400 --> 32:12.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% you might find the nests and try to flood them. 32:12.100 --> 32:14.800 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% Ants live in the pores of the soil. 32:14.800 --> 32:18.400 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% By flooding the soil you force them out 32:18.400 --> 32:19.766 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% and they have to move away. 32:19.766 --> 32:22.966 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% You can add some insecticidal soap to that water, 32:22.966 --> 32:25.700 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:24.38% increases the effect on the ants, 32:25.700 --> 32:27.900 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% and then you can go to poisoning them 32:27.900 --> 32:30.800 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% by spreading granules that you can find 32:30.800 --> 32:34.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% in a hardware store on the nest, trying that. 32:34.033 --> 32:38.066 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% - And they'll, the grass, they'll eat all the grass 32:38.066 --> 32:39.500 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% around the hill. 32:39.500 --> 32:42.133 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% They're not killing it, well in a way they are, 32:42.133 --> 32:43.433 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% but they're just eating it, aren't they? 32:45.033 --> 32:46.900 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% - Well I don't know if, I don't know what they're doing. 32:46.900 --> 32:50.066 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% I know they will make mounds and then 32:50.066 --> 32:51.666 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% that'll kind of suffocate the grass. 32:51.666 --> 32:52.633 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - [Will] The grass has moisture. 32:52.633 --> 32:54.466 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% So they're after that. 32:55.933 --> 32:59.500 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% - From Helena, mushrooms growing under the pine tree 32:59.500 --> 33:01.833 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% and they are a slimy mushroom. 33:01.833 --> 33:05.233 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% What type would grow there and are they edible, 33:05.233 --> 33:09.600 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% and this person says she's eaten them and she's still here, 33:09.600 --> 33:11.366 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:22.5% apparently-- - [Cathy] And they're 33:11.366 --> 33:13.066 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% slimy mushrooms? - Unless she ate them 33:13.066 -->

33:16.633 --> 33:18.133 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% that they're slimy mushrooms. 33:18.133 --> 33:18.966 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% - Well what would be a slimy mushroom? 33:18.966 --> 33:22.633 align:start position:23.75% line:10% size:50.63% - Well there are stinkhorns are slimy mushrooms, 33:22.633 --> 33:24.966 align:start position:29.38%

--> 33:35.166 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - You have a stinky cap there, don't you. 33:35.166 --> 33:36.633 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% - [Jack] That was

size:43.13% - [Hayden] An inky cap. 33:42.566 --> 33:45.033 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% - It might be a kind of inky cap. 33:45.033 --> 33:47.666 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% Sometimes they'll come up in large clusters, 33:47.666 --> 33:49.766 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% there's also a big white inky cap 33:49.766 -->

that's a good edible mushroom. 33:56.066 --> 33:59.800 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% It's pure white, kind of shaggy on top, 33:59.800 --> 34:03.066 align:start position:25.62%

34:05.566 --> 34:08.000 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% you might want to run it by our lab first 34:08.000 --> 34:11.266 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% or the plant disease clinic just to make sure, 34:11.266 --> 34:14.033 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% because there are a couple poisonous all-white mushrooms 34:14.033 --> 34:16.300 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:26.25% you wanna make sure that it's not. 34:16.300 --> 34:18.133 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% But if you have big white mushrooms coming up 34:18.133 --> 34:21.233 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% and they're turning black, inky, slimy underneath, 34:21.233 --> 34:23.900 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% you can, it's probably the inky cap that you can eat 34:23.900 --> 34:25.900 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% when it's young. 34:25.900 --> 34:29.433 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% There's also an alcohol inky cap, 34:29.433 --> 34:33.466 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% which is gray, it comes up in big clusters under aspen 34:33.466 --> 34:37.100 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% and if you eat it at the same time you have alcohol, 34:37.100 --> 34:39.566 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% you might get a reaction. 34:39.566 --> 34:42.000 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% - This one's from Hill County. 34:42.000 --> 34:45.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% Says mushrooms with black under the cap 34:45.366 --> 34:47.600 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% with a white cap and a white stem. 34:47.600 --> 34:50.800 align:start

34:54.933 --> 34:56.333 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:37.5% or near the corrals. 34:57.833 --> 35:01.200 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - Could be the giant inky cap, it could be. 35:03.300 --> 35:05.466 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% - Where could they go to find out 35:05.466 --> 35:08.866 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% how to differentiate that one, which is edible, 35:08.866 --> 35:12.733 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% from the one which they can eat but it'd make 'em sick? 35:12.733 --> 35:14.966 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - And there's a couple good ways 35:14.966 --> 35:16.866 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% to start learning your mushrooms. 35:16.866 --> 35:18.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% One way is to get a mushroom book, 35:18.933 --> 35:22.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and there are several mushroom books out there. 35:22.033 --> 35:23.833 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% It'll give you a start just to see 35:23.833 --> 35:25.166 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% what are the characteristics 35:25.166 --> 35:27.300 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% for identifying these mushrooms. 35:27.300 --> 35:28.700 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% There aren't any tricks. 35:28.700 --> 35:31.900 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% You can't, some people would say well, you can cook it 35:31.900 --> 35:35.333 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% with a silver spoon and if the spoon turns black, 35:35.333 --> 35:37.900 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% then it's poisonous, nonsense, 35:37.900 --> 35:39.700 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% you have to identify the mushroom, 35:39.700 --> 35:43.200 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% in order to identify the mushroom, just 35:43.200 --> 35:45.466 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% or anything else you're going to eat, 35:45.466 --> 35:48.366 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% you can use a book, you can go out with an expert, 35:48.366 --> 35:50.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% we have a mushroom club that goes out, 35:50.766 --> 35:53.833 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% oh, five, six times in the year, during the year, 35:53.833 --> 35:57.533 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% if you wanna join us on a Sunday afternoon, we go out-- 35:57.533 --> 35:59.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - From Hill County, it's quite a drive. 35:59.366 --> 36:01.266 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% - That's kind of quite a drive. 36:01.266 --> 36:03.266 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% If there are experts in that area, 36:03.266 --> 36:05.133 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% you can go out with whoever is, 36:05.133 --> 36:07.133 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% who knows the edible mushrooms. 36:07.133 --> 36:12.100 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% I would say stick to five or 10 good edible kinds. 36:12.100 --> 36:14.966 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% There are a lot of different mushrooms out there, 36:14.966 --> 36:18.466 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% a lot of them aren't deadly, but they don't taste good, 36:18.466 --> 36:19.600 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% it's not worth your time. 36:19.600 --> 36:22.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% Just find five or 10 different kinds 36:22.933 --> 36:25.166 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% that grow in your area, learn to recognize those, 36:25.166 --> 36:26.633 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% that's probably the safest way. 36:26.633 --> 36:28.533 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - The little button mushroom that grows 36:28.533 --> 36:31.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% on the old sheep manure piles, there you are. 36:31.833 --> 36:32.666 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% - [Cathy] Right. 36:32.666 --> 36:34.266 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - How do you recognize that dude 36:34.266 --> 36:37.400 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and differentiate it from one that isn't edible? 36:37.400 --> 36:41.233 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - Well, this is an agaricus, Jack just handed me 36:41.233 --> 36:44.600 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% the white button mushroom and a brown button mushroom 36:44.600 --> 36:47.800 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% or a cremini mushroom, they're actually the same species, 36:47.800 --> 36:48.800 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:37.5% different varieties. 36:48.800 --> 36:51.766 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% These can grow out on the manure heaps, too. 36:51.766 --> 36:56.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% The problem is there are a lot of species of agaricus. 36:56.433 --> 36:59.333 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% You can recognize agaricus because underneath, 36:59.333 --> 37:03.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% it has a little ring, it has, sometimes it starts out 37:03.833 --> 37:06.433 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% with pink gills that turn chocolate brown. 37:06.433 --> 37:10.700 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% You can pop that stem out, and, well, I kind of ruined it, 37:10.700 --> 37:12.866 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% but it'll make a perfect circle in there. 37:14.400 --> 37:16.933 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% The problem is that there are a few agaricus species 37:16.933 --> 37:18.566 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% that can get you into trouble. 37:18.566 --> 37:21.433 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% Some of the larger ones in the woods, 37:21.433 --> 37:24.266 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% especially the ones that stain yellow, 37:24.266 --> 37:25.866 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% you wanna stay away from. 37:25.866 --> 37:27.666 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% The ones in the pastures, 37:28.933 --> 37:31.666 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% once again, if you find a nice sprout, 37:31.666 --> 37:34.300 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% you might wanna bring that in and we can check that one, 37:34.300 --> 37:37.033 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% because there are a few different varieties out there. 37:37.033 --> 37:38.900 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% But yeah, the meadow mushroom is good, 37:38.900 --> 37:41.600 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% there's also a larger variety of this, 37:41.600 --> 37:44.500 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% it's called a horse mushroom, it's pure white, 37:44.500 --> 37:47.733 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% bright pink gills underneath that turn chocolate brown, 37:47.733 --> 37:50.966 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% you get a brown spore print when it's old. 37:50.966 --> 37:53.233 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% But there are a few things you can confuse that with, 37:53.233 --> 37:55.333 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% so bring it in, we can check it. 37:55.333 --> 37:56.166 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% - [Hayden] Jack? 37:56.166 --> 37:57.800 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% - We can check it in the frying pan. 37:57.800 --> 37:59.200 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% - I'll cook anything. 37:59.200 --> 38:03.300 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - Well I'll tell you, you've done a magnificent job. 38:03.300 --> 38:06.466 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - It is tasty, but, back at what Cathy said, 38:06.466 --> 38:10.166 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% we do have a service at MSU where people can 38:10.166 --> 38:12.600 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:48.75% send in mushrooms, send it to the plant disease clinic, 38:12.600 --> 38:14.333 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% Martha will either get it to Cathy 38:14.333 --> 38:16.133 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% or someone else who'll identify it, 38:16.133 --> 38:18.433 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% and we're happy to do that. 38:18.433 --> 38:21.533 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% The real key is to get that mushroom there 38:21.533 --> 38:24.900 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% relatively fresh, and you just can't put it 38:24.900 --> 38:27.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% in a plastic bag and put some added water with it 38:27.733 --> 38:32.233 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% and so forth, because it gets gooey, rots rapidly. 38:32.233 --> 38:34.800 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% Best way I think is just loose in-- 38:34.800 --> 38:36.333 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% - Newspaper works really well, 38:36.333 --> 38:39.966 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% newspaper or paper bags works really well, 38:39.966 --> 38:41.866 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% and then just kind of pad it with paper. 38:41.866 --> 38:45.033 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% But plastic bags, mushrooms have been in there overnight 38:45.033 --> 38:48.133 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:58.13% or two, three days, they arrive and it's a bag of liquid, 38:48.133 --> 38:49.866 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% so that's pretty hard to identify. 38:49.866 --> 38:53.266 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - It needs some air exchange, some oxygen, 38:53.266 --> 38:55.800 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% and not that much heat. 38:55.800 --> 38:57.500 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - Right, right, and it's better to have 38:57.500 --> 39:01.066 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% two or three examples, not just one broken off, 39:01.066 --> 39:04.066 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% but bring two or three in so we can get an idea 39:04.066 --> 39:04.900 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% of the range. 39:04.900 --> 39:05.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - [Jack] Especially if they're morels. 39:05.766 --> 39:07.233 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% - Yeah, yeah. 39:07.233 --> 39:09.233 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% We need a lot if they're morels. 39:09.233 --> 39:10.900 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:37.5% 10 or 20 is minimum. 39:12.166 --> 39:13.833 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% - If I could add something here, 39:13.833 --> 39:18.166 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% that last caller here who's question we answered, 39:18.166 --> 39:21.266 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% who wanted to know if the mushroom was edible 39:21.266 --> 39:23.833 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% and then said that she had already eaten it. 39:25.100 --> 39:28.200 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% It's so important not to eat anything that you 39:28.200 --> 39:31.166 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% cannot positively identify as being edible. 39:31.166 --> 39:34.133 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% I get the same thing with plants, with 39:34.133 --> 39:35.700 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% and Cathy does with mushrooms. 39:35.700 --> 39:39.333 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% So don't eat this stuff unless you really know what it is. 39:39.333 --> 39:44.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% - Right, there's just, one death is one too many 39:44.200 --> 39:47.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% in Hill County caused by bad mushrooms. 39:47.566 --> 39:48.800 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% - Yeah, we call it mushroom roulette. 39:48.800 --> 39:50.800 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% You can get away with it for a while, 39:50.800 --> 39:53.300 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% and they might taste good, but sooner or later 39:53.300 --> 39:54.666 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% it's going to catch up with you. 39:54.666 --> 39:55.500 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% - We're going to come back to that, 39:55.500 --> 39:58.066 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% and this is not your area, Jack, 39:58.066 --> 40:01.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% but you're the guy who could take a shot at it 40:01.566 --> 40:04.133 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% and I think it's important we look at it. 40:04.133 --> 40:07.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% They want to know what rodents carry Hantavirus 40:07.366 --> 40:11.100 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% and they list squirrels, ground squirrels 40:11.100 --> 40:12.700 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% and a whole bunch of other things, 40:12.700 --> 40:15.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% and I never heard to me of those carrying it. 40:15.266 --> 40:17.433 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:35.63% - When we had Cliff Bond on, who is probably 40:17.433 --> 40:19.400 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% one of the most renowned experts in the state, 40:19.400 --> 40:23.033 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% I believe it's almost specifically deer mice. 40:23.033 --> 40:26.166 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% And not all species of mice, but primarily deer mice. 40:26.166 --> 40:28.500 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% And they're very common in this state, 40:28.500 --> 40:32.233 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% and according to Cliff, and he gave this recommendation, 40:32.233 --> 40:35.733 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% before you get into any place that has evidence of mice, 40:35.733 --> 40:38.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% you wash it down with a good Clorox spray 40:38.566 --> 40:40.433 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% and then clean it up. 40:40.433 --> 40:42.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% Don't go in until you really want to wash it up. 40:42.566 --> 40:46.633 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% - And the second part of their question 40:46.633 --> 40:49.100 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% was the Clorox dilution. 40:49.100 --> 40:54.133 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% - Uh, generally one to 10, but to be on the cautious side, 40:54.766 --> 40:57.133 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and if it's not some area that's gonna discolor 40:57.133 --> 40:59.566 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% I'd say one to five, to be a little safe. 40:59.566 --> 41:02.733 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% - It isn't gonna, it isn't gonna hurt you, 41:02.733 --> 41:05.400 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% wear rubber gloves if you stick your hands in it, 41:05.400 --> 41:09.133 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:58.13% it won't hurt you and make sure you kill the little fellas. 41:10.200 --> 41:14.733 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% Uh, the little tiny bugs that are dealing 41:14.733 --> 41:18.900 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% with the feces and urine, remains of the mice, the virus. 41:20.600 --> 41:23.700 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% Their hawthorn tree looks dead south of Bozeman, 41:23.700 --> 41:25.800 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% they are not leafing out as usual, 41:25.800 --> 41:29.066 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% last year they had rust all over them. 41:29.066 --> 41:29.900 align:start position:46.25% line:84.67% size:7.5% Bob? 41:30.866 --> 41:33.033 align:start position:44.38% line:84.67% size:11.25% - Uh-- 41:33.033 --> 41:33.866 align:start position:35% line:10% size:30% - [Hayden] Jack? 41:33.866 --> 41:36.433 align:start position:35% line:10% size:28.13% - As far as not leafing out as usual, 41:36.433 --> 41:37.966 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:33.75% it may be a little slow this year 41:37.966 --> 41:41.166 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:45% because it has been cold up until the past few days. 41:41.166 --> 41:42.400 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:31.88% That's one guess. 41:43.300 --> 41:46.433 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% To check and see if it is really dead, 41:46.433 --> 41:48.400 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% just go out and start snapping off branches. 41:48.400 --> 41:49.833 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% Start at the tips of the branches and 41:49.833 --> 41:51.933 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% keep snapping that branch back 41:51.933 --> 41:53.766 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% until it doesn't snap anymore, and that means 41:53.766 --> 41:55.800 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% that that part is live. 41:55.800 --> 41:59.766 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% I don't think that the rust last year 41:59.766 --> 42:03.100 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% is going to cause wholesale death of the hawthorn. 42:03.100 --> 42:07.533 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% The hawthorn may have been weak going into last year, 42:07.533 --> 42:09.800 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% may have had some winter damage, who can tell. 42:09.800 --> 42:10.633 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% I don't know. 42:11.700 --> 42:16.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - Will, this is from Joplin, they have tiny red bugs 42:16.433 --> 42:18.700 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% crawling around in their basement. 42:18.700 --> 42:23.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% If you squash one he leaves a bright red smear 42:23.966 --> 42:27.600 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% on the basement floor or wherever else they are 42:27.600 --> 42:30.333 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% and they're interested in what those little things 42:30.333 --> 42:32.300 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% would be and what they might do about it. 42:32.300 --> 42:34.866 align:start position:35% line:10% size:28.13% - Okay, I think they're grass mites. 42:34.866 --> 42:38.933 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% And they occur in moist lawns, especially in the spring. 42:38.933 --> 42:42.733 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:37.5% As the lawns warm up and they start growing, 42:42.733 --> 42:44.966 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% the mites seem to enjoy that environment, 42:44.966 --> 42:47.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% and then at some point they get crowded, 42:47.366 --> 42:50.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and they migrate, and they tend to migrate 42:50.033 --> 42:52.733 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% to high spots or a warm surface, 42:52.733 --> 42:56.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% and then they of course find their way inside. 42:56.733 --> 42:58.666 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% And yes, you wanna be careful of crushing those 42:58.666 --> 42:59.666 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% or trying to clean them up 42:59.666 --> 43:02.166 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% on a white curtain or a white sofa. 43:03.000 --> 43:06.333 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% Again, this kind of problem is an exclusion problem. 43:06.333 --> 43:09.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% A barrier between the lawn and the house, 43:09.100 --> 43:12.033 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% a foot of white gravel that's dry 43:12.033 --> 43:14.033 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% will discourage them, these mites, 43:14.033 --> 43:16.933 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% from moving onto your foundation. 43:16.933 --> 43:19.500 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% And then plugging the holes, they're very tiny, 43:19.500 --> 43:23.300 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% so it's hard, but that's the best, uh, 43:23.300 --> 43:25.400 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% long term control. 43:25.400 --> 43:29.066 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% Letting your lawn dry out once a week. 43:29.066 --> 43:30.466 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:26.25% Which is often hard if it's rainy, 43:30.466 --> 43:32.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% there's snow melting, you know, that's hard, 43:32.100 --> 43:35.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% but don't worry about it drying out once or twice 43:35.233 --> 43:39.200 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% during the spring and that will knock the mites back. 43:39.200 --> 43:42.233 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% They're a humidity or moisture related problem. 43:42.233 --> 43:47.233 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - Most bluegrass is very tolerant to droughts, grass. 43:47.800 --> 43:52.066 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% It'll come back, so if you let it get a little dry 43:52.066 --> 43:56.333 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% and it turns kind of a real dark green 43:56.333 --> 43:58.433 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% and then a little brownish, 43:58.433 --> 44:00.033 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% you're not killing the bluegrass. 44:03.400 --> 44:05.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% But if you irrigate it, it'll pop right back. 44:06.833 --> 44:11.233 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% Frenchtown, they are talking about fairy ring mushrooms. 44:11.233 --> 44:13.133 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% They eat 'em. 44:13.133 --> 44:17.500 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% People do, I know, I don't, but they're concerned 44:17.500 --> 44:21.766 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% that weed and feed might do the mushrooms 44:21.766 --> 44:25.133 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% a lot of damage if you eat 'em. 44:25.133 --> 44:29.566 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% - Well, I, I've been, you can eat fairy ring mushrooms, 44:29.566 --> 44:31.700 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:37.5% I don't recommend it because there are a lot 44:31.700 --> 44:34.900 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% of other things that can make fairy rings 44:34.900 --> 44:37.333 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% besides the typical fairy ring mushroom. 44:39.033 --> 44:40.866 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% Even the typical fairy ring mushroom 44:40.866 --> 44:43.366 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% can act like a little sponge, and if you're using 44:43.366 --> 44:46.833 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% weed and feed or pesticides or anything like that, 44:46.833 --> 44:49.133 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% they will soak it up, so I wouldn't be worried 44:49.133 --> 44:50.566 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% about that hurting the mushrooms 44:50.566 --> 44:53.100 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:26.25% as much as the mushrooms soaking it up 44:53.100 --> 44:54.900 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% and you eating the mushrooms. 44:54.900 --> 44:56.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% - That's what they're concerned about, too. 44:56.566 --> 44:59.100 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% You're not gonna hurt a mushroom, a mold, 44:59.100 --> 45:02.566 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% with weed and feed unless you get enough of it on there-- 45:02.566 --> 45:04.966 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% - Well if it does hurt it, it'll die, 45:04.966 --> 45:06.733 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and then you won't be able to eat it anyway. 45:06.733 --> 45:07.566 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% - [Cathy] That's right. 45:07.566 --> 45:11.000 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% - And nobody's ever killed a fairy ring mushroom 45:11.000 --> 45:13.900 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% or the fairy rings with weed and feed yet. 45:13.900 --> 45:15.200 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - [Cathy] That's right. - Have they? 45:15.200 --> 45:16.033 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% - [Cathy] No. 45:16.033 --> 45:16.866 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% - [Hayden] I've never seen it done. 45:16.866 --> 45:18.266 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - No, but you wanna be real careful 45:18.266 --> 45:20.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% you don't have any other mushrooms in there, 45:20.733 --> 45:22.433 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% as long as you know what you're doing 45:22.433 --> 45:24.966 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% and you're not weeding and feeding, 45:24.966 --> 45:27.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% some of those caps, the stem will snap, 45:27.766 --> 45:30.466 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% it's brittle on the typical fairy ring mushroom, 45:32.133 --> 45:35.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:58.13% again, I just hate to recommend it unless you're an expert. 45:35.833 --> 45:38.533 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% - As a matter of fact, what she's saying is 45:38.533 --> 45:40.733 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% she doesn't recommend it. 45:40.733 --> 45:41.633 align:start position:44.38% line:84.67% size:9.38% - No. 45:41.633 --> 45:45.800 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% - And I would think that what she won't eat, I won't eat. 45:45.800 --> 45:47.966 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% - [Cathy] There you go. 45:47.966 --> 45:50.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% Well now I didn't say I wouldn't eat it. 45:50.033 --> 45:54.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - And here's one that I don't want you to answer, 45:54.000 --> 45:57.266 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% but I'll ask the question anyhow. 45:57.266 --> 45:59.066 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:28.13% - [Cathy] Okay. 45:59.066 --> 46:02.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - It came from Bozeman, and I guess school 46:02.466 --> 46:05.866 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% has started already for the first half of summer school, 46:05.866 --> 46:07.933 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% because they wanna know where to find 46:07.933 --> 46:11.033 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% the mushrooms that cause hallucinations. 46:11.033 --> 46:12.266 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:28.13% - [Cathy] Haha. 46:13.733 --> 46:14.900 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% - [Hayden] We're not gonna tell 'em. 46:14.900 --> 46:17.366 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% - Well I'm afraid they're out of luck in Montana. 46:18.633 --> 46:21.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% - But let's ask this one from Clyde Park. 46:21.766 --> 46:23.633 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% They wanna know about morels. 46:23.633 --> 46:25.600 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% How fast do they come up? 46:25.600 --> 46:26.600 align:start position:40.62% line:84.67% size:18.75% Instantly. 46:26.600 --> 46:31.200 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% But how long do they last, then, in that environment. 46:31.200 --> 46:34.133 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% One day, a week, give us your guess. 46:34.133 --> 46:37.533 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - Right, well mushrooms can come up pretty fast, 46:37.533 --> 46:40.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% and the reason they come up fast is because 46:40.366 --> 46:45.233 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% what you're looking at is the above ground part of a fungus. 46:45.233 --> 46:49.166 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% So it sits in the ground as just a little knot, 46:49.166 --> 46:51.600 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and the actual fungus is in the ground, 46:51.600 --> 46:54.066 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% it's a lot of different little threads in the ground. 46:54.066 --> 46:57.066 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% That fungus is always there, and some of these 46:57.066 --> 46:59.533 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% with morels, we're now learning that morels 46:59.533 --> 47:03.466 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% are mycorrhizal with trees, this is kind of new information. 47:03.466 --> 47:07.066 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% So that underground mycelium is always there, 47:07.066 --> 47:11.033 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% starts to make these knots, and when it rains 47:11.033 --> 47:13.300 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% and it's steamy and it's humid, 47:13.300 --> 47:17.800 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% the mushrooms pop up, and actually, 47:17.800 --> 47:20.866 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% the mushrooms can come up in two, three days, 47:20.866 --> 47:22.900 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% and the reason that it seems like it's so fast 47:22.900 --> 47:26.833 align:start position:20% line:79.33% size:60% is we think of something growing like an animal or a plant 47:26.833 --> 47:30.133 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% growing, it's actually cells dividing and growing. 47:30.133 --> 47:31.633 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% That's not true with a mushroom. 47:31.633 --> 47:33.633 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% With the mushroom, the cells are already there 47:33.633 --> 47:38.133 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% in that knot, and then you add water and they just swell up. 47:38.133 --> 47:40.833 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% So it's like a little sponge absorbing water 47:40.833 --> 47:42.733 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% and that's why it comes up so fast. 47:42.733 --> 47:45.400 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - With a huge, huge expansion capability. 47:45.400 --> 47:48.533 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - That's right, and some of these inky caps 47:48.533 --> 47:51.000 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% have been known to come up under driveways, 47:51.000 --> 47:54.933 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% and they'll actually lift the asphalt under the driveways. 47:54.933 --> 47:55.766 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:37.5% Crack right through. 47:55.766 --> 47:57.366 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% - [Will] Jack finds a morel, they don't last very long. 47:57.366 --> 48:01.066 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% - No, they don't, no. 48:01.933 --> 48:02.966 align:start position:38.75% line:84.67% size:22.5% From Helena. 48:04.133 --> 48:06.733 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% They have trouble growing rhubarb. 48:06.733 --> 48:09.866 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% All they can get is seed stalks. 48:09.866 --> 48:12.533 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% I only end up with seed stalks. 48:12.533 --> 48:14.433 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% - Jack has the same problem. 48:14.433 --> 48:15.966 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:54.38% - I do have the same problem. 48:15.966 --> 48:17.300 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% - Only end up with seed stalks, 48:17.300 --> 48:19.833 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% seed stalks are a function of high temperatures. 48:19.833 --> 48:24.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% Rhubarb needs it cold, cool, the longer the cool weather 48:24.433 --> 48:27.933 align:start position:20% line:10% size:58.13% lasts in the spring, the better off your rhubarb will be. 48:27.933 --> 48:30.600 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% So the seed stalks are a function of the 48:30.600 --> 48:32.300 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% and usually the longer days. 48:32.300 --> 48:35.266 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% You might have that rhubarb in an area where 48:35.266 --> 48:37.500 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% it's just heating up too much. 48:37.500 --> 48:39.166 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% That would be my guess. 48:39.166 --> 48:44.200 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% - Okay, Will, I don't know what a pseudoscorpion is, 48:44.233 --> 48:46.633 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% but these people have found them in their house, 48:46.633 --> 48:50.266 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and they would prefer not to have 'em, I think, 48:50.266 --> 48:53.066 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% can you tell me something about 'em. 48:53.066 --> 48:56.566 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% - Huh, um, scorpions exist in Montana, 48:56.566 --> 49:00.033 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% this is a very small one, they're often hard to see, 49:00.033 --> 49:05.033 align:start position:21.88% line:10% size:56.25% but they're an insect, well, a spider that lives in flowers. 49:06.000 --> 49:10.066 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% And they feed on smaller insects, like mites. 49:10.066 --> 49:12.200 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% They get their, they find their way into your house 49:12.200 --> 49:17.233 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% by a bee or a big fly or a wasp will investigate a flower 49:17.233 --> 49:20.800 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% and this, a pseudoscorpion will latch onto it, 49:20.800 --> 49:24.433 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% and then go for a ride, and jump off 49:24.433 --> 49:29.433 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% when it feels like it's found a good place to feed on. 49:29.466 --> 49:31.100 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:31.88% They're harmless. 49:31.100 --> 49:31.933 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:37.5% Kind of interesting. 49:31.933 --> 49:34.600 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% They look more ferocious than they are. 49:34.600 --> 49:35.966 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% I don't know how to really stop them, 49:35.966 --> 49:39.666 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% it's a matter of excluding the insects they're riding in on. 49:39.666 --> 49:40.700 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:30% - [Hayden] Okay. 49:40.700 --> 49:43.500 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% - We're eating morels, you start talking, we're eating now. 49:43.500 --> 49:45.833 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - [Cathy] These are the yellow morels coming around. 49:45.833 --> 49:48.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - Let me do it, because I have a question here 49:48.300 --> 49:50.166 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% that came in and there are a couple others, 49:50.166 --> 49:53.566 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:54.38% and these people want to know about the toxic materials 49:53.566 --> 49:57.666 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% that are in fertilizers. 49:57.666 --> 50:00.433 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% And I'm, I can't eat 'em. 50:00.433 --> 50:04.700 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% So let me say this, about toxic materials in fertilizers. 50:06.000 --> 50:08.600 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:52.5% If you, most of us use salt. 50:08.600 --> 50:11.766 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% Jack used some here I think tonight. 50:11.766 --> 50:14.600 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% But if you set down and ate a cup of salt, 50:14.600 --> 50:18.333 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:30% you'd wind up in about six hours dead. 50:18.333 --> 50:19.700 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:43.13% Deader than a mackerel. 50:19.700 --> 50:22.233 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% Does that make salt toxic? 50:22.233 --> 50:24.433 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% It does if you abuse it. 50:24.433 --> 50:29.433 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% If you use commercial fertilizers properly, 50:31.166 --> 50:33.800 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% And there are no toxic materials in it. 50:33.800 --> 50:36.800 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% If you get a sign that says ammonium nitrate, 50:36.800 --> 50:38.766 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:30% which you're not gonna get anymore, 50:38.766 --> 50:43.766 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% that says 33, zero, zero, that means 33 pounds of nitrogen 50:45.333 --> 50:49.800 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% and in a hundred pound bag, the rest of that material 50:49.800 --> 50:54.400 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% is hydrogen and oxygen, and that's what the only material 50:54.400 --> 50:56.300 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% in the fertilizer is. 50:56.300 --> 50:59.133 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% The only exception would be a little clay 50:59.133 --> 51:03.600 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% binding on at some time, which is exactly the same stuff, 51:03.600 --> 51:05.833 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% binding the fertilizer together, 51:05.833 --> 51:08.966 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% that holds your toothpaste together when you squeeze it 51:08.966 --> 51:10.900 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% out of the bottle, or out of the tube, 51:10.900 --> 51:12.733 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:46.88% and that is hardly toxic. 51:13.900 --> 51:18.600 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:48.75% So, if you wanna eat a cup of it, you'll probably die, 51:18.600 --> 51:21.433 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% but if you treat it properly you'll be fine. 51:21.433 --> 51:25.766 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% Now if you buy something that is called an amendment, 51:25.766 --> 51:28.233 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% take your chances, no one knows 51:28.233 --> 51:31.566 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% what's in those kinda things, so, you know, 51:31.566 --> 51:34.866 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% you just don't have a glimmer as to what they are. 51:34.866 --> 51:38.166 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% Be careful of things that are called amendments 51:38.166 --> 51:40.233 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% unless you know exactly what they are. 51:40.233 --> 51:41.066 align:start position:46.25% line:84.67% size:7.5% Bob? 51:41.066 --> 51:42.700 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% - Absolutely, I agree. 51:42.700 --> 51:44.266 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:45% Those morels were great. 51:44.266 --> 51:46.666 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% - [Jack] They are good. 51:46.666 --> 51:49.433 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% - They have mushrooms, several, growing 51:49.433 --> 51:51.800 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% under juniper trees out in the open. 51:53.266 --> 51:55.866 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% Three to five inches high with a white stalk, 51:55.866 --> 51:59.966 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% brownish gold cap, uh, these don't grow 51:59.966 --> 52:02.200 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% under the cottonwoods, which they do have, 52:02.200 --> 52:04.200 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% they grow under junipers, and they wonder 52:04.200 --> 52:05.833 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% if they might be the false ones. 52:07.466 --> 52:09.733 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% - It doesn't sound like the false morels, 52:09.733 --> 52:12.666 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:41.25% but if it's, you might want to send that one in, 52:12.666 --> 52:16.033 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% because some mushrooms found under trees 52:16.033 --> 52:19.300 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% might be mycorrhizal, the junipers are usually 52:19.300 --> 52:22.033 align:start position:31.25% line:10% size:37.5% not mycorrhizal with mushrooms, so it'll be 52:22.033 --> 52:25.033 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% a decomposer of some kind, and that means 52:25.033 --> 52:28.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% there are any number of mushrooms that it could be. 52:28.733 --> 52:31.466 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% But if you wanna send it in, I'd be happy to look at it 52:31.466 --> 52:33.300 align:start position:31.25% line:84.67% size:35.63% and see what it is. 52:34.366 --> 52:36.133 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% - Okay, Jack. 52:36.133 --> 52:37.000 align:start position:36.88% line:84.67% size:24.38% - [Jack] Yes. 52:37.000 --> 52:40.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% - This one came from Helena and you're the perfect guy. 52:40.433 --> 52:43.733 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% They wanna know what oil and spices I should use 52:43.733 --> 52:45.166 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:39.38% to cook my mushrooms. 52:47.033 --> 52:49.366 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:60% Whatever he used it's wonderful. 52:49.366 --> 52:51.333 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% Tell us about your recipe. 52:51.333 --> 52:52.533 align:start position:23.75% line:84.67% size:50.63% - [Cathy] This recipe here. 52:52.533 --> 52:54.100 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% - Hayden all we're doing right here 52:54.100 --> 52:56.966 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% is just sauteing the mushrooms in a little bit of butter. 52:56.966 --> 52:59.566 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:33.75% I use a little bit of cheap garlic salt, 52:59.566 --> 53:01.700 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% oops I better hide that label for saying that, 53:02.900 --> 53:04.933 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:26.25% because I like garlic, but if you use 53:04.933 --> 53:06.366 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% a little bit of salt in there, it does 53:06.366 --> 53:08.800 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% make the mushrooms weep slightly. 53:08.800 --> 53:11.833 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:56.25% Cooked 'em for a while, poured a little chardonnay in it, 53:11.833 --> 53:14.566 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% any white wine will work, and little bit 53:14.566 --> 53:19.566 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% of heavy whipping cream, and little bit of Parmesan, 53:19.566 --> 53:21.166 align:start position:20% line:84.67% size:58.13% and as soon as it thickens up-- 53:21.166 --> 53:24.433 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% - That Parmesan really gives it the touch. 53:24.433 --> 53:29.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% I knew, Jack is gonna retire some day and become a cook. 53:31.233 --> 53:32.433 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:33.75% Did you know that? 53:32.433 --> 53:34.466 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% - [Bob] He's gonna have his own TV program. 53:34.466 --> 53:36.766 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% - [Jack] We'll step it up a notch in Montana. 53:36.766 --> 53:39.566 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% - We don't have a lot of time and I wanna give Will 53:39.566 --> 53:43.900 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% a shot at one and then Cathy a shot at a bunch. 53:43.900 --> 53:47.133 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% From Miles City, and they wonder how serious 53:47.133 --> 53:50.700 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:41.25% the tick problem would probably be this year, Will, 53:50.700 --> 53:54.766 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% and that's associated with all the things 53:54.766 --> 53:56.433 align:start position:27.5% line:84.67% size:43.13% you can get from ticks. 53:56.433 --> 54:00.233 align:start position:35% line:10% size:28.13% - Ticks, yes, a problem in Montana, 54:00.233 --> 54:02.600 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% and I don't know if this year's especially bad. 54:02.600 --> 54:03.833 align:start position:25.62% line:10% size:46.88% I haven't heard anything. 54:03.833 --> 54:06.600 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% But recently, a newspaper article went out 54:06.600 --> 54:09.733 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% that they've become aware of a disease 54:09.733 --> 54:13.333 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% that resembles, and I wanna double that, 54:13.333 --> 54:16.433 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% resembles Lyme Disease, and they're investigating it. 54:17.700 --> 54:21.433 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% So yeah, and there's a lot of fear of Lyme Disease, 54:21.433 --> 54:24.600 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% currently we do not have the vector, the Deer tick, 54:24.600 --> 54:26.733 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:30% in Montana, that vectors Lyme Disease, 54:26.733 --> 54:30.400 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:39.38% so very small, slight chance that you would 54:30.400 --> 54:32.466 align:start position:25.62% line:84.67% size:48.75% actually get Lyme Disease. 54:32.466 --> 54:35.466 align:start position:21.88% line:79.33% size:52.5% There's the historical ones, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, 54:35.466 --> 54:39.733 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:50.63% it's not so common, I don't hear a lot of that happening. 54:40.966 --> 54:43.266 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:45% So I don't know if ticks are a more serious problem 54:43.266 --> 54:44.500 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% this year than others. 54:44.500 --> 54:47.666 align:start position:29.38% line:79.33% size:37.5% It's not a reason to not enjoy the outdoors. 54:47.666 --> 54:51.466 align:start position:23.75% line:79.33% size:52.5% Wear tight-fitting clothing, watch where you're going, 54:51.466 --> 54:53.800 align:start position:27.5% line:10% size:45% and when you return from your day in the outdoors 54:53.800 --> 54:56.333 align:start position:33.12% line:10% size:30% or hike, examine yourself, have a shower 54:56.333 --> 54:59.500 align:start position:29.38% line:10% size:39.38% and find the ticks if they might be on you. 54:59.500 --> 55:02.066 align:start position:29.38% line:84.67% size:41.25% - Okay, not much time. 55:02.066 --> 55:05.666 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:48.75% They wanna know if the way I harvest the mushrooms, 55:05.666 --> 55:07.600 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% in other words very carefully, 55:07.600 --> 55:11.166 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:37.5% will allow the fungi that's in the ground 55:11.166 --> 55:12.866 align:start position:21.88% line:84.67% size:56.25% to produce more the next year. 55:12.866 --> 55:15.333 align:start position:31.25% line:79.33% size:35.63% - Right, and that's a bit controversial, 55:15.333 --> 55:19.500 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:46.88% because some people think that you should reach down 55:19.500 --> 55:21.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:31.88% right to the base of that mushroom 55:21.000 --> 55:24.366 align:start position:25.62% line:79.33% size:45% and twist and pop it off so that you don't disturb 55:24.366 --> 55:26.733 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% the underground part of the plant. 55:26.733 --> 55:30.300 align:start position:27.5% line:79.33% size:43.13% And others, you'll just cut it and leave it 55:30.300 --> 55:32.000 align:start position:33.12% line:79.33% size:33.75% because you want a clean mushroom to eat. 55:32.000 --> 55:34.066 align:start position:35% line:79.33% size:28.13% - The answer is take your choice. 55:34.066 --> 55:35.233 align:start position:35% line:84.67% size:28.13% And with that-- 55:35.233 --> 55:36.933 align:start position:36.88% line:79.33% size:24.38% - [Cathy] The jury's out on that. 55:36.933 --> 55:38.000 align:start position:33.12% line:84.67% size:31.88% - The jury's out. 55:38.000 --> 55:40.466 align:start position:20% line:84.67%
