  • So although we will be looking at a wide variety of fungi in this series, most of you are here to learn about mushrooms, as they are the most interesting members of the fungi kingdom. So let's learn about the structure of a mushroom. What are its features? What do they do? How do they differ from one species to another? Let's learn about the morphology of a mushroom now.
    Script by William Marcus
    Much of the mushroom photography was provided by Stephen Axford of Planet Fungi. For more dazzling footage check out Stephen's fungi safari in the forests of the Himalayas documenting over 200 species of mushrooms! I'm serious, it's incredible, go watch the trailer: www.planetfungi.movie/

      A joke:
      What did the Italian mushroom say to his wife?
      Hai face!
      Explanation for the Joke:
      “Hai” in Italian means “You have a beautiful (followed by the feature you’re complimenting)”. “Hai face” sounds like “hyphae”; hyphae are, to simplify the term, fungal filaments or fibers.
      What did you think about my joke?

    Loved the photos of the mushrooms. Truly brilliant colors and fascinating shapes. I would guess I've seen no less than a dozen different types of mushrooms just in my front yard.
    So, Professor Dave, as I am very new to botany, which would you say is more difficult: Identifying edible from poisonous mushrooms, or identifying edible from poisonous berries?
    Thanks, and I'm looking forward to future installments of this series!

    Please keep these coming! The hubs & I love them! Although at our age we have to watch 3-4 times to get everything! No worries! You're very entertaining! Our 10 year old watches the first time & gets everything you say! He finds them in the yard & we id them. It really boosts his self-confidence & for that there are no words I can say except THANK YOU! It is so difficult to build confidence right now in kids & this Mycology series has changed my Virtual school, Safer at Home since March, son's life! His whole outlook has changed with 2 videos. We did get him an age appropriate field guide (10 almost 11 y.o.) & an age appropriate book of Mycology. That hasn't arrived 🤦‍♀️ However, he loves the field guide & we live on a delta with more rain than you can fathom. And we leave our backyard natural. So he loves finding new mushrooms every day! And I got him a field journal for observations & thoughts. He's in 4th grade, so the field journal is adorable! He is an excellent artist for his age, so that is actually really neat to see as well.
    Ok. I'll quit rambling about how wonderful your videos have been for my little family! But thank you! God bless you! And we can't wait for the next one!🤗❤

    The structure that you normally see above the ground is the part of the mushroom that is producing and dispersing spores. Each spore is a single cell that is capable of sending out a hypha that will develop into a group and form its own mycelium.👍

    5:05 - This isn't Amanita phalloides, this is Amanita citrina, the so called false death cap. Its cap is pale yellow, sometimes white. All other parts, stem, ring, volva, are white, like the death angel (so your sentence at 4:46 "A mushroom with these characteristics can only be one thing: the death angel, amanita bisporigera" is also incorrect, s such a mushroom can certainly be amanita citrina, too). Amanita citrina is distinguishable by its dirty-looking warts (not always present) and its smell of rotting potatoes. If cooked, it is not toxic, but it tastes awful and shouldn't be eaten due to its similarities with death cap and death angel.

      @williammarcus2487 Před 3 lety +1

      There is no way to confidently differentiate an edible mushroom from a poisonous mushroom from a single trait. Generally, mushroom foragers will memorize a specific species by learning the specific traits of that species. There are about 20 commonly known edible species, but the true number is far larger. There are about 5-10 poisonous species to look out for. So, if you stay on with the series and learn a bit more mycology, you'll be able to differentiate between species and easily determine if what you find is edible!
