Some of them can survive in space so are we 100% sure these are not friggin ALIENS that come in and cordycep their way into a planet and become a planet BRAIN?!? i mean we know the largest organism already is one of these funny guys, homies, are we just okay with this?!?!?

    This topic makes me wonder if you'll explore the myths and stories of rainforests? I know many are inspired by the plants and fungi that inhabit them. Such as the way fungi communicate with one another and other trees.
    Anyway, I wish you a peaceful night's sleep.

    Again a very interesting story, thank you. I have a mixed attitude towards fungi because they (mystery yeasts) sent me to the hospital for a week as a teenager when I was dunked in the thermal lake of Heviz, Hungary and involuntarily swallowed a large mouthful of the peaty water. The doctors said that it can really get critical if that stuff gets into your bloodstream.

I usually watch the video like 15-20 time because I usually fall asleep after 10-15 min and it continues running.

    What a fun topic!
    I have a totally unrelated pitch for you, in the category of of the videos you do about abandoned places.. and/or failed utopias. Lately I have been on a bit of a kick watching stuff about failed theme parks and other such attractions, so as you can imagine I have seen a few things about Euro Disneyland... something which it seems to me *anyone* who knows *any* French person at all should have clearly known would be a disaster. However, if you were to tell that rather amusing tale, it would give you a great opportunity to reprise your snobby-Parisean-realtor character for an encore performance! I imagine you could write a very funny scene about him being approached by Disney executives about acquiring the land for their abomination, and being torn and agonized by the conflict between his desire to make a HUGE commission, and every other fiber of his being crying out in disgust at the notion and the idea of his playing a role in the disnification of France. XD
    I know you don't like to do mean characters usually but in this case those same qualities in the character would be subverted and turned inward. Or towards a greater foe- alien vs predator style. I have listened to that bit 3 or 4 times and you still have me in stitches EVERY time I hear it.
    Thanks for another great video.
