Basidiomycota Part 2: The Mushroom Life Cycle

[@astrid.00.7]

This is amazing--not just the science behind it--but the fact that I managed to understand it. You are a fantastic teacher!

[@archivist17]

The work which must have gone into first developing an understanding of this process is just amazing.

Some mushrooms: **contain chemical resembling serotonin so animals eating it stop** Humans: **eat it anyways**

Mushrooms seem so simple until Professor Dave schools us in their reproductive cycle. Fascinating stuff!

It is simple: spores and micellia are haploid like sperm, pollen and egg cells. Mushroom is the result of fusion of two haploid cells, like a fertilized egg. (creationists are obsessed with gender. What gender is a spore?) Only task is meiosis producing new spores

You could have cashed in on your flat earth video but you are still promoting legitimate science. You have no idea how much I respect that. That said, could you pick a fight with a moron every once in a while? Your takedowns are epic.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Oh don't worry, there are many more debunkings to come. I'm just done with flat earth, there's nothing left to say there.

[@glennpearson9348]

@@ProfessorDaveExplains, nothing left to say, indeed - especially after your big reveal of the armed subarctic nazi penguins that guard the icewall.

I feel like the knowledge complressed into this series is normally acquired within at least a year of study. Will this series continue? I want to know more! =)

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

More coming soon!

[@abebrosiczki637]

Man, are spores.. everywhere??

[@dariuszkubiak8494]

It is OK, but the figure of plasmogamy shows rather the gametangiogamy of Zygomycota

[@jasonmillar2626]

somatogamy (noun,no plural) - the fusion of two somatic hyphae acting as gametes for two sexually compatible mycelia. This is the most reduced form of sexual reproduction. It is very common, if indeed typical for basidiomycetes, but not prevalent in ascomycetes.

[@byronlaurens2657]

first stage is actually monokaryotic not homokaryotic

[@byronlaurens2657]

Homo means multiple, referring to the amount of nucleases per cell, Mono meaning single and is the ( primary mycelium)

[@brittanyjacobson5199]

Amazing. The ballistopory mechanism was interesting.

[@MissBlackMetal]

For real, that blew my mind!!!

[@DorkaBeriTutorials]

very interesting 👍

[@shannonphillips4037]

Great information Professor Dave! Very well presented and great graphics as well. Using all avenues of information to work on my presentation we will be doing on our mushroom farm. Ill be sure to give you props. check us out. Winding Brook Farms in Monroe NC

Really useful explanation. Thanks!

[@PunmasterSTP]

Basidiomycota? More like "Barely able to pronounce the words one iota!" Thanks for making all these insanely interesting videos, even if it's extremely difficult to pull of a quick, accurate pronunciation of many of the words.

[@ValCronin]

What I am trying to find out is what compounds/elements the spores/mycelium 'ingest' in order to create mass...and which chemical reactions are used in the process. my best guess is that an oxide is produced in order to create the fruiting body, similar to that NileRed video of combining mercury and aluminum to form aluminum oxide and you see the oxide 'grow' wildly out of control creating more mass than one might think possible. Watching that video looks just like a mushroom growing from a single spot underneath the top layer of substrate. Any info would be appreciated since I am not having luck finding the answers to these questions just yet.

[@KidCharlema9ne]

Hi Dave, question if you will. When one takes a clone of a certain FUNgus and transfers it to agar, you will typically get more than one strain growing. How does this work? Do other hyphae that don't end up fusing into the diploid cells just get "swept up" in the entangled mycelia and brought along for the ride, or are the genetics more complicated? Thanks and phenomenal work. Best explainer around.

[@blahblahlaboratory9381]

Dear professor Dave and the comminity, do the neighboring heterokariotyc mycelium colonies, of the same parent fruit, share nutrients with it's brothers or they just exist as separate colonies and compete for a substrate?

[@tobiaszczarnota7879]

Can I draw fanart for you?

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

Do it! If it's good I'll share it.

[@PunmasterSTP]

Hey I'm just curious; did you end up drawing any fanart? If so, do you have any links?

His life cycle is it haploid or diploid or haplo/diploid please l need answer

[@MissBlackMetal]

I've only ever heard mushroom cultivators describe the mechanism of sporulation as something to do with water and pressure (I can't recall the specific term/phrase), so I'm really grateful you explained it in this video -- ballistopory is INSANE!!! Ballistopory is one of those discoveries that I bet triggered a lot of scientists to once again wonder about the existence of a higher power or a great programmer (in the case of simulation theory) 😂 Nature is juat incredible. What a marvel.

So... This is the third thing needed for Lichen to exist according to National Geographic. Did this rule apply to animal cells and mitochondria?

[@ankitasaha7425]

I understood the cycle very well but could please confirm if this is asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction or vegetative ? Since in my book it's said asexual spores are not found and sex organs are absent so which one is it then ?
