The Mushroom Kid

Documentary short about a young man with an extraordinary interest in and knowledge of mushrooms. The film was created in 2022, but the footage was originally shot in October 2016.
For those interested in the names of the mushrooms seen in the film, Nathaniel has helpfully supplied a list of the varieties as they appear:
2:58 Entoloma abortivum, aborted entoloma, probably
3:22 Lyophyllum decastes, fried chicken mushroom
3:26 Armillaria
4:50 here I said Hypholoma but it's probably Pholiota spumosa. Helps to look at the underside !
5:02 Plicaturopsis crispa, crimped gill, probably
5:18 Marasmius capillaris
5:58 Cystoderma amianthinum var. rugosoreticulatum (since been contested whether it deserves a variety to itself)
7:00 Lepista irina, flowery blewit (probably not Leucopaxillus)
8:05 Phlebia tremellosa, trembling crust (Merulius tremellosus is now preferred I believe. Kinda offscreen)
8:19 Geastrum triplex, collared earthstar
9:31 armillaria with merulius tremellosus
9:34 Xeromphalina campanella, pinewood gingertail
9:38 Inocybe sensu lato, otherwise family inocybaceae
9:43 Hygrocybe miniata, vermilion waxcap
9:48 Cortinarius sp. probably
9:51 maybe armillaria
9:56 Armillaria
10:01 Neofavolus suavissimus

Beautiful Nick! Such a gorgeous environment that you have captured so wonderfully. The close ups are magnificent, I particularly loved the mushroom at 9:25! I am curious to see if Nate continues to be engrossed in the fascinating fungi☺️. Great work
