"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.
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.
@@BugsandBiology much like our humble fungal friends, maybe the fungus videos will bide their time in the shadows before sprouting out and spreading far and wide
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.
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.
As one of the three people who watched this video… I’d like to say it’s a great one! Fungi is a subject of which my knowledge is rather slim, so it’s always nice to learn! :)
Yeah definitely a bit of a deviation from my typical content, but I've been fascinated by fungi for years, and thought they definitely deserved a feature.
Same here. Was crazy into fungi at a couple points in my childhood. And while that obsession has calmed down a little, they never cease to fascinate me.
Damn just saw the pic. Super unique colouration too! Toohey is always a bit of a gamble for me. Probably 90% of the time I’m there, I don’t see anything particularly special. But on occasion, I come across something super memorable.
Hey i have seen some of your videos in the past and found them hella interesting, especially about spiders. So i have a question, do you know anything about Megaloremmius leo because literally no channel covers this fluffy guy even tho he is quite unusual imo?
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 love documentaries on fungi my favorite's are the glow in the dark ones. That fungi that puffs out spores when you press on it is an alien mushroom in the alien movie called Alien Covenant.
In his previous fungi video, I also mentioned the Alien movies. And still he carlessly pokes it with a stick. Taunting fate... 😂 @BugsandBiology you could make a night time video with this... Something like the Blair Witch movie... 😂 Letting us ponder, till your next video... Is he ok, is he still alive??😮 😂
Thanks for another fantastic video. Can I, please, make an suggestion? Use a better microphone, build a acustic zone anti echo to record the audio or implement any other idea to improve in this area. Again, fantastic video. Thanks.
I do need a better microphone setup for sure. A big problem for me is the fact that I live right next to a highway, so traffic noise is a constant issue.
@@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.
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".
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.
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!
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.
@@BugsandBiology I can see why. They may smell like crap, but they look like little pieces of art. Definitely not pieces to turn into your art teacher except for in exceptional circumstances.
@@TheAtomTwisterFunnily enough, when I was 14 years old, I came top of my grade for art, and my teacher told me a painting I’d done of some stinkhorns was the tiebreaker that gave me the win.
@@BugsandBiology Well how's that as an Easter Egg? hahahaha. I'm not surprised. I know that most of the art of the species that you share on your channel is yours, and that tells me that you sure know what you're doing and are practiced as an artist. Congrats on the win and cheers for how much you live life and thank you for sharing it with us.
I just popped back to say I just watched a video about the plant Hydnora which shows a degree of parallel evolution. Until she said it was a plant I thought it was a stinkhorn.

Sitting outside in the warm sun on a sunday afternoon watching a video about fungi...Life's good...😄
Sounds great! Almost as fun as spending the afternoon filming fungi...
This script is amazing. "Whims of the wind"

🍄Top footage and narrative about marvellous, fascinating, Fungi!
Thanks mate, much appreciated
What strange yet charming organisms fungi are. And that intro was great: screw the algorithm hail in the fungi!

Just a few seconds in and I'm already excited by this! Fungi are so a cool and I think I could listen to you read a phone book.
Thanks so much! Glad you can tolerate my voice better than I can…
Enjoyed this very much . Amazing how there are so many different forms and colour in Fungi .
Yeah the variety is endless. Stinkhorns alone are so incredibly diverse.
How did i miss this, up until now? I love it!!! 🍄 Stinkhorns are common in the U.S., too. I've had them in my garden in Colorado.
Thanks! There is a bit of overlap in species between Australia and the US too. Were any of the ones in this video species you’ve seen?
Wow I live in Europe and it is faszinating how different and yet Similiar Fungi are on the other site of the planet

Hard to estimate indeed. But they’d definitely be incredibly helpful with establishing a new forest, especially mycorrhizal and saprotrophic species.
7:56 that's a creep cluster from Skyrim
Jacko this is so cold 🥶 🥶 🥶
Yeah it was pretty cold today, wasn't it?
I like fungi, and you're a fun guy!
As one of the three people who watched this video… I’d like to say it’s a great one! Fungi is a subject of which my knowledge is rather slim, so it’s always nice to learn! :)
Fungi are so interesting!
That they are! Some of the most underrated life forms for sure.
Amazing video - I’m officially a fun guy! 😂
Ah, that pun is always guaranteed whenever I post something about fungi hahaha
Great stuff! You are becoming one of my favorite creators; thanks for your time and effort.
Cheers! Glad you’re enjoying my content, and comments like this provide a lot of incentive for me to keep the ball rolling.
Not something that I would usually watch, but interesting none the less!!
Yeah definitely a bit of a deviation from my typical content, but I've been fascinated by fungi for years, and thought they definitely deserved a feature.
I actually had a huge mushroom obsession at one point, and now since my obsession is arthropods this video is like, perfect for me
Same here. Was crazy into fungi at a couple points in my childhood. And while that obsession has calmed down a little, they never cease to fascinate me.
can you link the other episode with more fungi please
It’s on the end screen
Top notch narration lol 🎉
I found a nephila pilipes in Toohey forest
Wow really? I know they’re in Brisbane, but they’re much rarer here than they are further north.
@@BugsandBiology yeah, I was super excited because it was my first time see in one in person (not in the museum)
Nice, you’re very lucky. I go to Toohey all the time (some of the footage in this video was shot there) but I’ve yet to see one in the area.
@@BugsandBiology I posted a photo of it on r/australian spiders if you wanna see it :)
Damn just saw the pic. Super unique colouration too!
Toohey is always a bit of a gamble for me. Probably 90% of the time I’m there, I don’t see anything particularly special. But on occasion, I come across something super memorable.
Did you hear about the Mushroom who went to the party? He was the Funguy.

Glow in the dark mushrooms are incredible. I think I’ve actually seen them, but because it was daytime, I couldn’t see the telltale glow.
In his previous fungi video, I also mentioned the Alien movies. And still he carlessly pokes it with a stick. Taunting fate... 😂

This is tuff Jacko 🥶🥶
Yes, lying on the ground filming mushrooms is a very tough, strenuous activity.

The colourful little mushrooms like Hygrocybe are some of my favourites too. Although stinkhorns remain number one for me.

Im interested in Fungi since age 12 and in a few months writing my masters thesis about mushrooms & rust/smut fungi
Oh that's awesome! A true lifelong passion.
Even if numbers are down there's always shroom for improvement.
Yay, a fungus pun that isn't "fun guy".
Is the shape you can't think of a back massager?
Uhh…yeah. Sure. That’s exactly what I meant.
I just popped back to say I just watched a video about the plant Hydnora which shows a degree of parallel evolution. Until she said it was a plant I thought it was a stinkhorn.
loving your content. the algorithm is just garbage
It is indeed. Though at least I never have high expectations for fungus videos in terms of performance, so I'll never be disappointed.
Fungi are weird
Weird and yet more closely related to us than they are to plants!
Rain?
