Puff Ball Symphony: Spore expressions of a Lycoperdon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- My earliest memories of #mushrooms were #puffballs when I was about 5 years of age. After the summer rains in northern #Ohio, puffballs would come up in #abundance. I remember - gleefully - stomping upon them to see explosions of brown #spores sent skyward.
My twin brother - North - and I would compete for them. We soon discovered that we could throw them at one another whereupon they would explode upon impact with a brown puff!
One day our mother, upon seeing us pelt each other, came out of the house to warn that “if the spores of puffballs got into your brother’s eyes, he could be blinded.” (This is not true.) However, with this new information, I increased my volleys of puffballs - as he did to me. Puffballs gave us little boys hours of non-harmful fun.
Puffballs depend not only upon raindrops releasing their spores upon impact, but children too! Each puffball can release billions of spores.
First Nations - particularly in the Plains of North America - discovered that puffball spores were effective for wound healing, literally packing spores into cuts to prevent infection. Other indigenous peoples have also made this discovery.
The Blackfoot Native Americans considered them as ‘fallen stars’ and often portrayed them at the base of their teepees.
Scientists again confirmed what indigenous people empirically knew: puffballs contain strong antibiotical properties. Calvacin was identified as a novel antibiotic from another puffball species. Interesting this antibiotic is topically effective but toxic when this pharmaceutical is ingested. Other more whitish and typically larger puffballs are Calvatia and Bovistella, the extracts of which have been found to be inhibitory to staph bacteria in vitro.
Another example that science confirms mushroom ‘folklore’. Our ancestors knew mushrooms were medicinally important. Necessity is the mother of invention.
This “symphony” is orchestrated by Pamela Kryskow, MD. {Note: Dr. Pam is not rhythmically challenged: sporulation first, music added later.]
The species is close to Lycoperdon umbrinum, aka umber brown puffball.

I took Pauls liquid mushrooms during my cancer treatment.Wether a placebo or strong medicine i will never know, but i am still here and Pauls story of helping his mom and taking his mushrooms gave me hope and some strength to believe i would be OK .Thanks Mr.Stamets for all you do.
Robert Caims, we are in medicine. We don’t see a placebo effect with any methods or means we use to help patients become well. If anything, patient self reports are like yours - they don’t know what did what to make them better! We also don’t see what is called malingering, meaning the patient reports no change when the issues are addressed properly with natural healing methods. Our explanation for why placebo effect and malingering do NOT play a role in natural medicine, (medicine that communicates to the body healing mechanisms, energy sources, means to heal) but do in unnatural medicine, is that these terms are often true only in unnatural medicine. In medicine that is not completely beneficial or not at all beneficial to healing, unnatural, the patient may feel “relief” from symptoms or feel no improvement at all. Thus, the researcher and/or practitioner cannot tell if it’s placebo or not and if the patient is reporting no benefit but is just malingering. These responses/unknowns are typical in unnatural medicine.
Good you improved with liquid mushrooms! Hooray!
Be well my friend.
Blue juice?
which one?
Yay!
Took awhile to track this down. Music is on a collection from Liquid Bloom called ReGen Lucid Remix, track name: Emerging Hearts(Yaima Remix)
I need to keep you around
Thank you so much. Your contribution is invaluable
Ever since i watched a few documentaries on Paul Stamets he inspired me to study Mycology, Plant Biology, and Psychedelics for the use of medicine and therapy and it's only been a year now and i've learnt a lot. Though i am still at the beginning of this new adventure, i, from the younger generation of people, one day hope to stand in the path of all these great people like Paul Stamets, Dennis McKenna, Graham Hancock and Michael Pollan. To help finish what they started alongside many others and continue fighting for psychedelic and medicinal mushrooms to be legalised and used as medicine. -- And for the health of the planet.
Thanks Paul
I always do that when I find them. 😃
Those puuballs are fully loaded with spores :) .
Thanks for sharing this fun spore symphony 👌
@@birddog0 No. This is how they reproduce. The spores will only grow if they land in specific conditions.
Wow they’re made of poo? That’s so cool!
Paul thank you for your knowledge on fungi. You’ve caught my interest since your first appearance on JRE. Fungi is amazing. Love from Virginia.
Every puff forever changes the course of life on Earth. Those innumerable spores spread and change ecosystems bit by bit everywhere they go.
Nice of you to give the puff balls a hand in spreading their spores. Love your work btw, thanks to you I have found remission from depression and PTSD by using psilocybin therapeutically. Words can not express my gratitude to you.
i commend you on your efforts my friend. i would like to inform you that my home state of oregon have become the first state in the country to legalize the possession and use of psilocybin mushrooms , as well as in a clinical setting can be administered by licensed professionals as a therapeutic.this is unprecedented, and i thought you might benefit from it.
@@TheFalouse I am so thankful that Oregon is paving the way for legal therapeutic sessions. I truly believe it can save countless lives from suicide, just as it has mine.
Awesome background music! Perfect for mushroom tripping.

👆👆hat's the Instagram handle of the legit dealer that ships to me,after i was ripped off my 💰 severally by online scammers. Contact him on IG,,Dude is a life saver
I was scared at first but when I received my package I was so ecstatic because it was worth the $
I've seen it in Alien, you should wear your helmet
SO NICE TO HEAR YOU TALK ABOUT MUSHROOMS. YOU PRESENT THEM ON A PEDESTAL
Imagine bein a lil forest critter and taking a chomp of one of them thangs!
Shrooms can be soo funky. Like smth. from an alien movie ^^D
And the turning wind at the end is a good example why i only poke puffballs with the tip of my foot. ^^)
I saw lots of them at the farm everytime. Thanks for new infos regarding puff balls :)
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing your story and knowledge 😊🤓
I hope to find them one day. With my dauther. Thank you ! 🙏🙏🙏
I am 6 years old from SL and my obsession is fungi. Love your video on puff balls.
So friggin cool!
Beautiful
You're in Ohio?! I'm coming up for the holiday to be with family! Big fan Paul, of everything you do
No, he said WHEN he lived in Ohio at age five
@@Wearephuct-O well that video he took was clearly not of an age 5 Paul Stamets 😅
Paul, I so dearly want to see how Chaga and Turkey tail works for early-stage prophylaxis on Covid19, we need you more than ever!

I was ripped off my 💰 severally by online scammers, until I found a legit dealer that have been shipping shrooms to me.
I only buy from them and no other. They have been delivering without disappointing
Yes! I love playing with puffballs!
Amazing how much spores they contain!
Don't inhale them though, unless you want some of that Lycoperdonosis
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoperdonosis
"In 1976, a 4-year-old was reported developing the disease in Norway after purposely inhaling a large quantity of Lycoperdon spores to stop a nosebleed." Very curious solution, did it work?
" In one severe case, the individual inhaled enough spores so as to be able to blow them out of his mouth. He underwent bronchoscopy and then had to be on life support before recovering in about four weeks. In another instance, a teenager spent 18 days in a coma, had portions of his lung removed, and suffered severe liver damage." That's bad times ;)
Very pretty though, thumbs up
Wow ! Thanks for that tip mate, not that i would inhale them but the kiddies might : )
Just some light entertaining info: the name Lycoperdon comes from the Greek Λυκόπερδον that means "Wolf Fart". My grandfather showed me my first lycoperdon on the hills of mountain Pelion when I was quite young, and he actually called it Fox Fart (αλεποπουρδο/alepopourdo). Had fun blasting them just like Paul did and had the same reaction to the plumes (don't breathe this stuff)!!!
That was great man. Natures fireworks! ☮️
MAJIK BAND Loves ❤️ the music of the mushroom 🍄 puffs.
Just this afternoon we were walking in the bush in rural Australia and found some puff balls (a lot smaller) and our daughters had so much fun puffing out the spores.
Showed the video to my daughter. She was like “oooooooooo”
Ha! I remember stomping around the playground at school doing that and throwing them at friends all laughing...😃🍺🤙🦃🍁
Earth says: "Spore me, seed me, feed me..."
I've seen mushrooms that do this in Brisbane Australia 😊🤔
Same here. I’m Gold Coast 😁
@@jarmafingus love that😉
I had fried puffball mushroom once at the Friendship Lounge bar n grill near me.. A fella came in who had found one the size of a football in the field.. Brought it in.
They sliced n breaded n deepfried.
They were really good!
It was in the early stage not the poof dust stage.
Found a bunch just like that the other day in southern Ontario there was also a few of the biggest I've ever seen . Cheers
This channel is the greatest please never stop
Found similar in Massachusetts. So fun to play with.
Puffs of smoke, harmonious singing - mesmerizing.
I finally realise why they call them, "PuffBall". Thank you
VeSTer tripps is the legit psychedelic plug. He got shrooms lsd dmt and others
Hit him up on IG
Only Paul could make this interesting. I Live in OR, u must be ecstatic about the legalization of psylocybin for mental health reasons!! As someone whos lived with debilitating social anxiety his whole life this is the breakthrough ive been waiting decades for
me and my friends took lsd for the first time in the woods and during our peak we were all laying in this open area and we found a big patch of these puff balls, needless to say we had an amazing time with lots of laughter:)
Here's something that I hope Paul sees, maybe he would be interested in finding a fungi that can grow on Mars and make the planet more suitable towards flora and fauna... it has high amounts of nitrites on its surface, might be cool to look into!
Wow! They sound just think musical instruments and singing
Great finds!!!
You have inspired me. I am an aspiring mycologists:)
paul your the man!
I can't wait to finally meet one of these!
cool vid thanks for sharing👍👍
If you flick them lightly they make spore rings.
Love ya down here in Tx. Stamets, and keep on educating. You are one-of-a-kind ✌
Puff-balls make me think of Sponges on land. These are amazing lifeforms.
Love me some Paul Stamets. ❤
Great to see you have a channel on youtube paul, keep the video coming. The knowledge transfer is amazing
beautiful video thank you
Haha, I always do this when I see this mushroom. How can you not?
We use to get in trouble for playing with those growing up :) definitely an inspiration for the smoke & stink bombs.
Love these! 💛 My family and I found some in our front yard when we were in Roslin Ontario, countryside so lots of wonderful surprises from Nature 🌱💗🦋
We mainly found massive white ones:)
I like to step on them and get my boots covered in spores while I hike around
I dont know that I would have looked at the video description if it were not for the music, and found your tasty tidbits of info. I know better next.
Lovely music.
Oh yes. Qe delighted in puffball curiosity and another medicinal value is for mild sunburn. Aho.
As a kid, I'd spend days looking for these in my nearby woods with some friends. They were so much fun
💘🌏 #SaveSoil 🎼🍄🍄🍄 Thank you for what you do, Paul Stamets. 🙏🏻

do somebody know the name of the track in the background?
Wow, this is beautiful
I am going for trekking in Himalayan Mountain ranges, I will definitely look for rare mushroom species.
I used to find these out in the center of my elementary school field. 20 years later after not even seeing pictures of them and I'm just now learning that these are mushrooms? Such a cool bit of nature.
Love you man, and love the music. I thought it would go to the beat much more though. Thanks for being an amazing person, Had to throw you some radical honesty though.
Weird and wonderful
VERY COOL EDUTAINMENT, THANKS!
Puff these all over the place. They are one of the highest anti-bacterial, -fungal, -mildew, -mold shrooms there is. Research has found that the interior of a puffball fairy ring is entirely sterile of any such life. Good for (white phase) of making cut strips (and cooking), or strip bandaids, or powdered for wound salve.
I remember a couple years ago mentioning to a bunch of American chestnut Growers that it may be the soil in conjunction with the trees genetics that gives some American chestnut trees blight resistance. I would pray somebody could follow up on that prove it accurate or not. Microbial life very well could be the fungi
Used to love doing that as a kid. Where did the fun times go?
Nowhere.
I find those all the time
i found a puff ball, it spored into the air, i thought i breathed it in, i love cube picking :) this song is so chill
the woods winds
What will happen if you breath the spores in directly into your lungs?
I remember jumping on puff balls the size of cantaloupe 🍈 in the woods back in 98. I must of spread a few trillion babies onto the planet. Could of been the same family.
Sweet. They’re all over the place down here in South Georgia USA. Golden teachers too, of course.
Damn Paul, I see you flexing those editing skills 🤘, cool stuff as always
I found ones like that as a kid and thought it was so cool!
Alien Covenant
Hi Paul! Fun fact: in my area (Italian mountains) we have something like that, I don't really know if they are the exact same species but we commonly call'em Wolf farts. No kidding 😆
I grew up in Montreal, Canada and I used to see those quite often growing up. We were calling them "pets de loup" which literally means "wolf farts" in French!
Very cool :)
I wanted to see that lake more
A video cooking puffball would be nice
Вот у нас(в России) этих дождевиков куча. Их даже едят, но ещё совсем маленькими... А называют не "волчий пук", а "дедушкин табак" :)
У НАС "ПОРХАЛКИ" НАЗІВАЮТ))
Paul, I'd love to work under you. I've got experience in transportation logistics that I think could help move your extracts. I know how people work, and I can bring ideas to fruition. I'd really love to work under you and help bring some of your patents to life.
Paul, I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable as you, nor nearly as blessed with intellect. However, I am a fellow Ohioan ;) I would absolutely love to run into you one day and have a chat. Keep on keeping on!

We too ask kids would toss them at each other.
Paul, you put out some realy incredible content. I want to so badly start a mushroom business here in Ontario Canada. Whether it's growing a variety for health and welness or psilocybin for medicinal. Love to meet you some day. - Pete
Never been a better time than today to start. 😉
Is inhalation of those spores dangerous ?
It wouldn’t be healthy to inhale on a regular basis 😉
Those are like volcanoes 🍄🌋
Que belleza!!!!!! 🍄
I wonder if it was millions or billions of spores that got ejected in that video.
Lycoperdon means wolf's fart.. :)
TY.
/.
magic :)
They're cooming
Puff puff pass!
Is this toxic if you were to breathe it in?
Puff puff pass
Sooo greattrt
