  • Now that we have a general overview of fungal taxonomy covered, it's time to start investigating the different fungal phyla. The first one we will investigate is the most important one, basidiomycota. There are three subphyla in this phylum, and here we will examine two of them. Those are Ustilaginomycotina and Pucciniomycotina. What kinds of fungi are in these subphyla? Let's take a look!

    Corn smut quesadillas are definitely a kind of food that makes me wonder: why would anyone ever try it in the first place? Were they literally starving, or did they think "oh, that looks good, I'll eat that"?
    Regardless, excellent tutorial as always; many thanks for the hard work in putting it together.

    That was ultra interesting! I've seen Ustilaginomycotina so often on corn (btw., I live in Austria/Europe) and never had an idea, that it is edible! Next season, I am immediately going to try that out - even though it has got the especially repulsive name MAISBEULENBRAND (Corn bulge inflagration) in my language, German! - Does anybody of you know how to cook it? (Other theme: Who the hell dislikes a video like that? Corn bulge inflagrators??)

    • @TheWuschi
      @TheWuschi Před 3 lety +1

      Not ultra hypnotic, sorry to disappoint you ;-)) - Since many European cultures used it for shamanic purposes, I was nosy enough to try out little pieces of raw flymushrooms on my "mushroom hunts" - it has been giving me slight, enjoyable kicks now for many, many years (as long as I don't OD by mistake - then I spend my time vomiting between the trees). I think, the shamans used it dried and powdered, not fresh as I do - up to now, I never had the guts to try that... The ultra hypnotic shrooms in our (Austrian) woods would be Psilocybe semilanceata - I really don't like them, because they are very unpredictable in their effect. Thank you, mushroom, but no thank you...
