KINGDOM FUNGI by Professor Fink.wmv

[@arbez101]

I loved the way he infused his lesson with humor, brewing, baking, chemistry, geography, wayfaring, and cuisine. He certainly hooked my attention. Nicely done, with class, Professor Fink!

[@alphamenson3784]

you did yuh work professor....no body is perfect....thank you so much for this one...all the way up from East Africa in Tanzanian

[@ssemwangacharles1251]

[@danabryant3223]

Thank you so much, Professor. My teacher is NOT a public speaker, thank you for saving me and my grade

[@Girlsarejustbetter]

We need more of you! Professor Fink for life!

[@raygaytan1836]

Great Video! I have been watching your videos for the past two years - and since then my grades have boosted from a B to an A. =) I apologize about the person below that is not a happy camper. Unfortunately, we can't make everyone happy. However, you have the best teaching methods!!!!!!

[@jefferyz9271]

You have a talent. Thank you for putting this information out. I've been using your lectures as a review for my Biology class.

[@shellybadger4545]

I wish you were my college bio teacher!!! Doing a great job! whom ever thumbs you down must live a 'control freak lifestyle.'

[@machispachis]

Thanks so mc professor fink!!I am very glad yor page!!you are saving me for my mycology midterm!!!

[@addisalemabebe109]

Thank you very much Professor for your interesting lecture.

Distillation is boiling off the alcohol. Alcohol boils at ~60C.

[@MrBastio]

nice video. I would rename and repost it. The bit about alcohol is great. Came here to learn about Rhizopus, ended up learning about alcohol. fun.

[@heathershapo2385]

very useful information. thank you.

Tamoxifen?

5:56. 7:37.This lecture is brought to you by " Fleischmann's yeast, a better way to yeast".

[@AlmachtigeDikke]

What he said about the abscense of mushrooms growing in really sandy places is not true! There are lots of rare species that are found in dunes and even in the desserts! Genera like Podaxis and Phisolithus are found in desserts on very dry, oligotrophic sand soils. Species like Melanoleuca cinereifolia, Psathyrella ammophilae, Peziza ammophila, Phallus hadriani etc are only found in the dunes.

[@professorfink]

You are correct. But, as you indicated, the species you refer to are fewer in number than those that live in "wet" environments. In an introductory course, we emphasize generalizations, and not exceptions.

[@Lady8D]

professorfink Intoductory or not it feels deceptive unless stated in such a way that lets the listener know exceptions do exist. I dislike spending my time studying and learning something only to later learn it wasn't actually true. Generalizations are fine when paired with "In general..." "Generally..." etc I haven't gotten to that part of the video yet so please disregard if you did word it in such a way. If not, I hope you will consider doing so in the future. At the moment, I'm feeling like perhaps this isn't the best source for learning if I can't count on the information provided being accurately stated.

[@fernsader9261]

Lady D it’s a good thing nobody really asked for your irrelevant input.

[@chadrobison12334]

I disagree with his statement of "dont go out and pick wild mushrooms to eat". Ive been foraging mushrooms for 30 years and I've never picked the wrong one. I hunt about 20 different kind. Just be VERY sure of what you are doing and you will be fine.

[@greedskith3020]

I heard Berkeley hills has death angel growing on them...😶😶

[@trupyrodice4462]

Well, to be fair, those that go out and DO pick the wrong mushrooms typically don’t talk to much about it -you know, ‘cause they’re dead. 😂 Also, a lot of mushroom poisonings we see are from people exactly like you, who have been foraging for mushies for years, never picked a wrong on their whole life; they become complacent and slip up. -One guy did exactly that, foraged for years, went out and picked some bright and early one morning and made some omelettes for breakfast an d fed them to his 4 other family members…. They all survived but he put three of them on the waiting list for a new blood filters.

[@sanjaysharma2944]

thanks professor

[@AlmachtigeDikke]

professorfink In a way you are right about emphasizing generalizations, but it does not mean you can say "they only grow on soil where there is a lot of organic matter". It is true that most Fungi are saprotrophic, but a good number of them form mycorrhiza (as you probably know). Mycorrhizal fungi do their work best in oligotrophic environments, meaning there has to be very little organic matter, otherwise the soil gets too nutricious! I think it is very important that in an introductory course the three main ways of 'food uptake' by Fungi (parasitic, saprophytic and mycorrhizal) are mentioned. And what was the purpose of the story you tell in the last 15 minutes? It did not had anything to do with Fungi, right?

[@yewwood7547]

Michel Beeckman It does mean you can say that. You can't learn efficiently if you are concerned with getting everything correct at the beginning. The professor did an excellent job teaching.

[@bbmtge]

+Michel Beeckman Your are just like the troll who sits in class as an undergrad and thinks that 101 knowledge makes them a PhD.

[@Lady8D]

I very much appreciate you mentioning these things, minus the last bit about the story as that felt unnecessary (though I've not yet heard the last 15mins so I may change my mind on that). I realize intro courses need to be generalized but its not hard to do so while retaining the integrity and accuracy of the information provided. How hard is it to say "In general..." "Usually..." "Mostly..." etc. IMO, using "...only..." "... exclusively..." etc instead makes the information untrue. I work hard to learn *all* the information I'm given in a course and I occasionally will take what I've learned and teach others, I have no interest in learning/teaching information that isn't actually true. Thank you for pointing out the inaccuracy of this information! Sorry this is so long, I suck at being concise.

[@ghz24]

Just for the record sake isn't distilled it's just brewed.

[@professorfink]

You are correct. Sake is brewed (like beer). I should have said Rice Shochu ("kome-shochu"), which is distilled sake.

[@rabecca214]

very good at entertaining too!! :) funny !!….

penicillin first discovered in 1928

[@professorfink]

While Penicillin was discovered by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming in 1928, it wasn't until the 1940s that Penicillin became commercially available. Australia was the first country to make the drug available after WW II. Penicillin was made available to the general public in the USA on March 15, 1945.

Fungus kills you Doctors are clueless

[@fernsader9261]

Theresa Geiger it’s also a part of you. They evolved with us and there are many strains that live symbiotically with us. They actually help battle diseases as well. Their cells are also almost as complex as ours and their methods of communication are still being understood.
