    Aspiring mycologist here! A neat fungus fact that was recently discovered is that mushrooms can sometimes control the rain! For a basic summary, by releasing billions of spores high into the air, they pass through clouds, interacting with so many water vapour particles at once that it causes a chain reaction where it begins to rain! There's a lot more science behind it than that, but scientists are trying to harness that ability so that we can start controlling rain! How cool would that be?

    Mushrooms did wonders in my life. I could remember several years ago, I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend of mine recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

      100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma

    when you mentioned honey mushrooms being the biggest living thing on the planet, I thought about Pando, the tree forest that is all one connected tree, technically one organism, which I had heard was the biggest living thing. some googling and some math later, I learned that Pando weighs about 6500 metric tons. I still don't know which is bigger, they both have the same large number!

    Eat flowers, pine buds, the soft bit of the bark of a tree, but do NOT eat a mushroom, because sometimes even if it looks like a good mushroom it may have fucked a bad mushroom and you are suddenly hostage in mushroom basement and the mushroom police won't find you.

    I love foraging, no matter if its mushrooms, plants, or nuts. Mushrooms are really cool! The amount of diversity is insane, from fly agaric that inspired the mushroom in mario, to the best and tasty morels, they are all super unique and beautiful in their own way. They are also one of my favorite things to practice drawing! When foraging, make sure to take in account if that mushroom, or plant has any poisonous like-alikes, even if its something your familiar with! Such as the potato, which is related to nightshade. If eaten when it is too ripe, or after its prime can cause sickness.
    For more information, I suggest reading one of Thomas J. Epel's books, like foraging in the mountain west, which covers plants, animals, nuts, and mushrooms!

    My favorite fungi fact: there's a type of mold only found under Chernobyl that feeds off the radiated melted waste from the disaster, thus making it less radioactive. Also, that waste (melted remains of the reactor in the basement) goes by the name "The Elephant's Foot" (not a fungus) and to say it will kill you is an understatement, since it can give you a massively lethal dose of radiation poisoning.

      Actually, the lethality of the Elephant’s foot has decreased since the meltdown. At the time of its discovery (9 months after the meltodown), it was indeed very lethal.
      In the 34 years since then, the lethality has decreased. It is still lethal with prolonged exposure, but it won’t kill you in a few seconds.

    Fun fact about mushrooms: there is a type of mushroom found in Scandinavia and it looks like a very average mushroom. But it has hallucinogenic qualities to it that may have numbed your ability to feel pain. So way back when Vikings were around they fed these to special warriors, beloved to be chosen by Odin, to essentially not care that they were bleeding in seven spots and have several arrows in them since they couldn’t feel the pain. And then they died. To Valhalla

      Clean water is actually one of the most important points of any survival checklist but strong spirit alcohols are usually included in survival kits for a few reasons; they're natural disinfectants so useful for cleaning wounds, tools or even as part of your drinking water processing, they also keep better than plain water so if you can't source clean water old bottles of hard spirits will at least keep you happy while you die.

    A general fact about mushrooms, some like to be eaten and are actually colored so they’d be easier to spot but at the same time some of them are poisoness and easy to spot for exactly the opposite reason (but some how at the same time not).
    Basically, poisoness mushrooms can be appealing to some insects like snails while the very lovely yellow colored chantarelle is edible to us humans and very delightful. (Im no expert though, I remember this from a nature documentary about mushrooms when I was young).

      But yeah, be careful out there! Even if you think you know what you are eating, you might not!

  • @FuckTheYoutubeUsernameChange

    Mushrooms are also like a neural network for most plant life on earth, as their mycelium connects to the roots of different plants, allowing those plants to communicate with each other. :)
    Speaking of ants and mushrooms, leaf cutter ants have formed a very special symbiotic relationship with a certain type of mushroom. The ants cultivate the mushroom in underground caves and use it as a food source. The mushroom has completely lost it's ability to spread on it's own, completely relying on the ants and the leaves they give it as fertilizer.
    Mushrooms are super cool! And the important part is actually underground, not the funny things we see above earth. When you harvest a mushroom, cut it a little bit above the base and it will grow back the next time it "blooms".

    I know someone pointed out zombie fungus, so I’m gonna talk about:
    Doctors tried to make medication to exclusively get rid of fungi in the body, namely blood/certain organs- but it didn’t work.
    No, the medicine that they were able to make ended up eating/breaking down your bodies cells, making it harmful to get rid of internal fungi. So they don’t sell it/prescribe it. Fungi has to be removed through alternative means (I think the main one is literally surgery/cutting it out OR fighting it off with help with steroids). There are certain diseases that also have to be removed this way (including cancer).
    There are certain medications to get rid of fungi in the nails, (most) layers of skin, butt hole, the uterus, ears, nose, mouth, and the eyes. (If more internal, be prepared to fight)
    So, yeah. There is medicine to get rid of most parasites and bacteria and to help build resistance to certain viruses, but not to get rid of mold in certain places. Be careful out there!

    So glad that mushroom mania has gripped you too, Ginger. It’s prime mushroom season here in Australia right now and I’ve been on three mushroom hunts in my local area (hunts only to observe mushrooms and make neat lil spore prints, I’m still learning about what could potentially be eaten dw) and it’s been awesome!! Found so many cool things and some stuff that I couldn’t find any sources on. I know Australia’s mushroom scene is very under documented but I swear, this is just ridiculous

      Australia has a MUSHROOM SEASON?! That sounds so cool! Here in Michigan, we just have Winter, Mud, Traffic Cone Migration Season, and then Kinda Cold But Not Really Winter Yet

    Fun fact: the Protist kingdom does actually have some members that are visible without a microscope. It’s the catch-all kingdom for all eukaryotes that aren’t already plants, animals, or fungi.
    It includes slime molds and algae, and because kelp is a kind of algae, protists can be up to 150 feet long.
