Welcome to another showcase of fascinating fungi from Brisbane, Australia! In this video, we'll be taking a look at earthstars like Geastrum triplex, the gigantic bolete Phlebopus marginatus - perhaps the biggest mushroom in Australia, and the utterly bizarre stinkhorns.

"With that professional and family friend intro out of the way" got a good chuckle out of me. What i find enjoyable about your scripts is the juxtaposition of whimsical wordplay "whims of the wind" being the obvious standout and then utterly crass "the more I look at this the more I am thinking I should censor the footage." It does fascinate me. I am not privy to many of the secrets of fungi, but they are absolutely fascinating and really, fungi and flora especially are much more intricate and amazing despite their seemingly stagnant lives. A lot of these shots are really good to, really capturing the otherworldliness of these living things and also showing a sense of scale as well. Great video, as usual.

I think blending crude language with eloquent speech has become a bit of a "theme" on this channel, so to speak. Glad you like the footage too! Can be hard with inanimate organisms like fungi; unlike with animals, I have to move the camera around to keep some motion in the footage. Otherwise it'd look like a slideshow of images.

This script is amazing. "Whims of the wind" I'd love more about that subterranean symbiotic dance in the world of mycorrhizae please (especially if you are in Australia, the fungi of the eucalyptus tree --- there are many tree farms now using eucalyptus, like in Uruguay). I mean seriously we should be actively transporting these things to logged areas, not hoping for the whim of the wind. "Airponics" and "hydroponics" are science fiction concepts that people think are real, and we need to educate them. Soil is a living organism, full of fungi, insects, worms, bacteria, and more.

@BugsandBiology 4 ай бұрын

Stinkhorns in particular can pop up all over the place due to being transported in mulch shipments. So there’s a fair bit of overlap in species between Australia and Europe.

Strange and charming indeed! And yes, screw the algorithm. Besides, who knows what the future may hold for fungus content on this channel? Paleo-content used to underperform terribly, and now videos on prehistory have been beating out my bug content in terms of views.

I hit like because of the intro. Also I am extremely interested in the use of fungi when replanting clearcut forests. How many species are there in the biome of a tree? We don't really know.

Hard to estimate indeed. But they’d definitely be incredibly helpful with establishing a new forest, especially mycorrhizal and saprotrophic species.

The sequel we've all been waiting for! I'm always fascinated when I see an interesting fungus outside and I wish that people on Inaturalist were more knowledgeable so I knew what I was seeing... But nevertheless fungi are amazing. Mycorrhizae is one of the most intriguing phenomena I've known about them and how in your face it makes the interconnectivity of the natural world. They really are more than just "Mushrooms".

@BugsandBiology 3 ай бұрын

Thanks! Mycorrhizae intrigued me from the moment I first learned about the phenomenon (in David Attenborough’s Private Life of Plants). Really is such a striking example of nature’s seamless interconnection.

@@BugsandBiology This is a big big problem, but, i saw videos of people in very noise ambients, out door, with special micros. Another idea is, very old and popular, put acustic panels in the walls and ceiling. In the doityourself approuch, the pallet carboard of egss are no very good. There panels made with fabric are more cheap that de professionals panels and very good. Cheers and keep on going. Thanks for your videos, I like your humor and manner of speach.

I think the reason it hasn't really been discussed is its restricted range/possible infrequency of encounter and the consequently limited media about it present on the internet. But it's definitely a very cool spider.

I tend to like Gliophorus graminicolor (a small, brilliant green mushroom), Mycena interrupta (the Pixie's Parasol), Entoloma hochstetteri, Laccaria amethystina, and a few other exotic, brilliantly colored mushrooms. A lot of the Mycenas and Hygrocybes are really nice, so are a few others.

Lovely! Are the phlebopus edible? The largest mushrooms I have personally seen in British Columba are agaricus augustus, The Prince, which were a similar size, and they are a choice edible. Also, what was the warty white number with the ring? Looked like some amanitas I've seen. And like many others, I love your scripts which are as vividly coloured as the stinkhorns in this great video!

Phlebopus are indeed edible, though they aren’t regarded as a choice option. As for that white mushroom, I unfortunately can’t really say what it is beyond likely being an Amanita species. Glad you like the narration too!
