Coastal Redwood Fungi b/w "Touch My Perithecium"

Alan Rockefeller and I spend a few hours traipsing through a stand of coastal redwoods and tanbark oak on a cool January afternoon to see what's popping up from the duff and the hillsides. we see the mycorrhizal and delicious Craterellus calicornucopioides, as well as the incredibly vivid red Hygrocybe coccinea. The black earth-tongue - Trichoglossum - is tiny but extremely bizarre. And then we learn what a perithecium is with the aid of Annulohypoxylon.

[@chattonlad9382]

Love it when Alan gets a question from Joey and can't give him an answer, just says "I don't know" or "I have no idea", no pretending to know everything, no bullshit. A rare trait amongst experts these days.

[@dengueberries]

nahhh man, any good scientist says "I don't know"

[@Beofware]

The juxtaposition between Joey and Alan's personalities is hilarious. I love them both

[@BrianOSheaPlus]

And I love how it blurs a bit when he gets Alan to say "go f#&* yourself bye!" Hahaha

[@xo990]

I love how well they get along too lol

[@Invading-Specious]

thems should be fused together forever.

[@mdog86]

I love that you and Alan are working together, he's an amazing person and always glad to hear him talk about fungi.

[@michaelmakarowski4211]

Amen, every video with Alan is a real treat.

[@avryptickle]

The show is on fire at the moment. The South African episodes were amazing. These mycology episodes are amazing. I’d pay real money to just walk around with these knuckleheads and listen.

[@Fetalchupacabra1]

the killer duo, we need more!!!!

[@ragnarok953]

one of the best series on this channel. Dont get me wrong the other ones are amazing but i love this too much. We also need a part 2 of woke grocery store.

[@robertphillips9014]

Dude the woke grocery was so funny he shreds those etsy witches etc.

[@howard5992]

ha ha - it was funny but I took exception. All that judgement from Tony made him seem way more pretentious and judgemental than the people who actually shop there.

[@Flizard300]

I respect someone who says idk when asked something they don't know, cuz when you run into someone that knows everything, ya know they don't know & then you just wonder what they actually knew

[@bsloannyc]

Being able to say " I don't know" separates Thinkers from 'thinkers', the Albert Einstein's from the Cliff Clavens. Nobody has all the answers, least of all those people who insist that they do.

[@ralfish2008]

my brain exploded. It blows me away how Alan just rattles off those names. I dont know why but these fungal vids are like some kind of great drug for me: got to come back to this one a few more times just to try to digest more of it while my brain explodes just a little more. Thanks so much to the both of you for this series.

[@kelleyboyles1715]

Amazing Knowledge. Thanks to the both of you guys 🌲🌳🌴🍃

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Seriously, I so agree, it makes my brain explode too. It's amazing. There's so much complexity to the information and it just makes my mind blow up and want to learn how to fully take in all the layers of science that they are explaining. For me, I understand the science, it's just the name's, the Latin genus names I just cannot wrap my mind around them. It's baffling to me.

[@scottgigot2593]

Cool video for someone more of a botany than a fungus guy. My soul was touched when Alan told me to GFY. Thank both of you for sharing of your wonderful stores of knowledge!

[@jg1019]

Joey you are the only youtuber out there who just simply films himself walking around and looking at plants and mushrooms. Thank you for all you do. When I can't be out doing it myself your videos are the second best thing.

[@Robot_Eva]

4:48 shoutout to this slug

[@katiekane5247]

You never disappoint, thanks Joey & Alan

[@zestoslife]

Thank you so much for putting the name written on the screen. Helps heaps in learning how to say the latin words, and connecting the verbal to the written. Excellent video, and amazed at how similar fungi are found in NZ forests, even though not a redwood in site, but very similar fungi. Most likely different species due to distance / genetic drift etc. But visually very similar and same genus etc.

[@zestoslife]

Pretty impressive photography through the hand lens on the trichoglossum

[@zestoslife]

OMG nail polish, that explains why my spores go flying past. Brilliant tip.

[@evilsharkey8954]

Some of them may be the same species introduced by travelers via dirty shoes or imported plants before they controlled that.

[@sats_nak]

"God I'd love to see these under a microscope" - Joey. Classic :)

[@evilcanofdrpepper]

Come to Santa Cruz for a bit. You will love the seedy underculture that thrives here... Plus we have many fungi and fungi lovers here, so much so that I once came across a fenced off Bolete patch like a clandestine pot grow in the middle of the woods complete with no tress passing signs and all!

[@Maj7]

Back at it again with my boy, Alan!

[@plapbandit]

I've needed these videos recently, an excellent distraction from an insane clusterfuck. Thanks, both of you

[@darlantro]

4:10 - Vespertine' means active in the evening/dusk. Similar to 'crepuscular', which is active at dawn and dusk.

[@OakSummitNursery]

Looking outside at a few feet of snow, this video transports me to the forest in the spring.

[@codeack101wlck]

I really enjoy the informational mushroom hunting

[@beezlebubmarketingandhr7221]

Made my terrible day all better!

[@christophermclaughlin8899]

I would dearly love a whole video on slime molds! So wonderful!

[@02wrxRally]

vespertina is the aged and weathered look found on vintage Italian scooters.

[@PHill]

LOL, that explains it! :)

[@chezmoi42]

Oh, god, I just fell in love.

[@michellebarnhill5130]

I Love the mycology videos. Thanks for taking us exploring in the redwoods.

[@trashcat3000]

Vespertine, that occurs in the evening. Also a great album by Björk

[@PHill]

The vesper reference is not that occur in the evening, but like Venus, the evening star, it is a reference to the West, the direction the sunsets. "Western Fluted Elfin Saddle" could be called the "Sunset Fluted Elfin Saddle" or "Venus Fluted ..."

[@trashcat3000]

@@PHill this is botany not poetry, my guy

[@PHill]

@@trashcat3000 Apparently someone was being poetic when they named it. It wasn't me.

[@scottyrush1523]

My two favorite citizen scientists! Quality programming here! Thanks guys

I hope you see this these videos are phenomenal i love you two collaborating! Please make more !!!!

[@chronicalcultivation]

As someone who learned basic mycology long before they ever dove into horticulture, I am loving this content. Thank you for working with Alan on these videos

[@johanstefonski401]

This is a really great episode. I love your collaboration with Alan.

[@Shadowfax2121]

Alan seems like a great guy to go hiking with, I appreciate him being so informative and answering your questions. Thanks, Alan!

[@dot1shots61]

Again learning something new. I love this. Great video!

[@Vinichki]

Love the Collab content with Alan!👍

[@justinwood9049]

Just found this channel. Truly awesome stuff. Informative and entertaining to the max

[@VCheesey]

Always nice to see Alan in his mycological endeavors. Didn't expect him on the channel, but glad to see him here!

[@Baffi_]

I just hope the annual precipitation starts to go back up there, and then maybe I could live long enough to see the start of a comeback of redwoods

[@nomiss2593]

You know we need a "crime pays but mycology doesn't" t-shirt! Awesome design!

[@somethinginnocuousindahouse]

I love this channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@harshvardhangaikwad9572]

Informative AF video. We studied Phytophthora ramorum which causes sudden oak death disease of Oak in our plant pathology class, which caused menace in US and Europe. Amazed by your mycology/ plant pathology knowledge. Great video.

[@alandonaly457]

This is a wonderful thing you do, thank you.

[@Tommyr]

Alan really knows his stuff nice. Smart fella!

[@BroncingBucko]

Alan has confirmed and helped identify a preposterous number my fungi observations on iNaturalist - the man is a national treasure. First time I’ve seen him in the wild/outside the app. V cool.

[@sats_nak]

Loving the mycology vids too. Keep em coming. Great friendship there.

[@russjones45]

Again these fungi segments are fascinating. Thank you to you and Alan for sharing.

[@jacksonnc8877]

Best mycology Field trip through the Pacific Northwest I've ever watched. Much respect to the boths of U 😅

[@tomhall7633]

My attention is rarely undivided except when confronted with the astounding and subtle expressions of nature. The proletarian anarchist commentary with hints of misanthropy always reminds me that the enemy is us. Thanks CPBBD

[@bsloannyc]

[@shaneflickinger]

I liked the microscopy shots at then end. Flashback to my college and grad school days/daze.

[@Not-Skuxx]

Those exact black trumpets are being cultivated in NZ, a close friend ate some in a remote NZ town 2 weeks ago. Going off that, I'd assume they're pretty lenient with substrate and climate.

[@lcrain7840]

Thank you for all this awesome knowledge! We're taking field notes now with a lot more scientific accuracy!

[@timmyodaley1411]

God bless you Joey....

[@paintedwings74]

I've never been able to get myself interested in the terminology of mushrooms before, even though I love them (the way I love my cats, not the way I love a good venison steak). But YOU GOT ME! Sometimes, as a teacher, you just don't know what that thing is that hooks a student in, or unlocks a difficult subject--this time, as the student, I don't know either. Joey, you helped me to get interested in those terms, those mini-structures the terms apply to. This is going to help me move up to the next level of understanding 'shrooms, THANK YOU! I can't even say what it is about this vid that opened that door, removed a mental block, but it worked. I'll be rewatching this, and reading about mushrooms, and rewatching this again. And since people insist that I teach them about mushrooms, I'll be able to share even more cool stuff about them!

[@craighoover1495]

Thank you Joey and Alan for a walk onto the musty side of things.

[@Sideway-Sammy]

You talking to the banana slug was the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Also kudos on the video in general! 🖖

[@melhesz]

This has been refreshing! I appreciate your candidness, point blank commentary, filled with joy and knowledgeable info. Alan is a lovely fellow & I'm stoked to have watched the two of you collab, as it's been interestingly perfect for brushing up on a few items! Thank you :) Shroom on! Where'd all you shroomy vids go? Got suckered into plants I see 😉🍄✌️

[@boscorner]

What a great duo. I'm loving these videos so much. had no idea y'all knew each other. cant wait to see what alan has in store for the georgia mushroom festival

[@noodleboi6711]

my time spent in the redwoods was not only the greenest, but it also had an incrediblly large atmosphere that was one of the calmest while still overflowing with life. I hope to return for my fungal friends

[@Bootsz2010]

I used to live right on the San Lorenzo River in Boulder Creek in the redwood forest and I do not remember seeing all these beautiful mushrooms everywhere! I guess I needed to look down more than looking up to the sky!

[@AD-ym9te]

I love watching you guys in videos together. So informative and interesting ❤🤓

[@iLLi_Nois_Jake_b00st]

Your straight letter style is sick and your illustrations are amazing. Would be awesome to keep that coming. Love the videos love the content, thanks for what you do man. Much love from champaign IL.

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

More Alan please.

[@Toddis]

Another hit 🎯

[@JoeSmith05]

Fuck yeah, Alan!

[@SKWildflowerRescueNursery]

I have greatly enjoyed your videos andy have gotten me through to this time where I now find myself in hospice due to ALS. I can no longer garden or make my own videos but yours help me get through the day.

[@JOHNCORNING]

He describes the fungises like its a pastrami sandwich...love it

[@yakomuto]

Damn those hygrocybe species are so big, here in Europe i usually find relatively small ones.

[@MrMjgtad]

Great video, definitely loving the mycology side of things. Seeing the technique and tools used by alan is super interesting

[@richardbidinger2577]

Love the mushroom series.

Dang it! It’s 12:36 in my time zone, and my eyes are already burning, and then you post this shit that I can’t not watch. You’re killin’ me!

[@dustinlamont9477]

Joey, talking about his dad who tried to get rid of slime mould with fly spray: "yeah, he wasn't, y'know, I mean... you get what you pay for, I guess." Hilarious and relatable lol
