Agaricales Part 1: Agaricaceae
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- We've looked at two of the subphyla within phylum Basidiomycota. Now it's time to dive into the third, Agaricomycotina, which contains most of the macroscopic mushrooms. In particular, we will focus on class Agaricomycetes, order Agaricales. This will take a number of tutorials, so let's start by checking out the family Agaricaceae. This contains some of the most familiar mushrooms in the world, so let's get a closer look!
Script by William Marcus
Some 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.planetfung...

Very happy to see this playlist continued. Looking forward to the next epistode!
I've been studying mushrooms for over a year now, mostly by growing them myself. More mushrooms plz >:9
Super excited to see more from this series!
DAVE - FYI, I will be using this video in my Bio class to show students the crazy varieties of Fungi that exist. Great content 😎👍
Hi Dave,
With the LHC starting, there are many dumb comments about portals and other dimensions and evil spirits coming out. You can check the CERN official video's comments to see it.
Can you please cover it and debunk these craziness ? Every time someone makes sense, these people keeps shouting "Do you research" and shit like that.
Thank you for this upload, been waiting for it!
I really appreciate the pronunciations.
I've found a giant puff ball with a friend while running through the woods as a teen. We genuinely thought at first, we found a human skull. After some relieving research, we had a great meal of fried mushroom steaks. The yield indeed was quite respectable.
You can eat those?
:0
@@Linguae_Music yeah, as long as they're stil white inside. Taste is not spectacular, but handling is very easy (as you can cut it up like bread), which makes cooking quite an enjoyable experience.
Good content, subbed for this kind of stuff. (biology and chemistry)
Let's go new Professor Dave explains video
Thank you professor.
Hey Dave! Love your videos! Super educative, high quality and attention grabbing, could you do a video explaining general knowledge about blood, like what the actual heck differentiates the blood types, the cells present, the immune systems role, disease and such, Thank you!
Check my anatomy & physiology playlist.
hooray, new fungi video!
Can u do a series or a 2hr long video on debunking ayurveda pls
Oh boy Dave is the psylocybin family next! 😵💫😵💫😵💫
there is no "pscilocybin family". the genus Psilocybe belongs to the Hymenogastraceae. there you will also find false truffles, deadly galerinas and a lot of other brown sporulating mushrooms.
@@Kammerliteratur the fact I don't know this is evidence we need Dave to make a video on hymenogastraceae now I know
YOOOOO JUST FOUND THIS. finally my favorite thing
Very informative
Thanks Dave!
The devils, dragons and witches images caught me off guard lol
Witches butter is also a name for Exidia glandulosa. Which confused me a bit because Tremella mesenterica is called yellow brain in the books I'm learning from. But... I checked, and witches butter is in fact a common name for both of them so... Now I know! I think they've done this specifically to confuse me. It is a conspiracy.
-Did I miss something? The last of these I see is Comb Jellies, not Basidiomycota.-
Nevermind. I now see the prior video was over 1 year ago…
This is not the zoology playlist, it’s mycology.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Ah. I don't generally use the playlists, but just watch the videos as they come out.
Hi Dave & everyone else,
Are you making videos on fungi because you plan on debunking some fungi mysticism?
98% of my content is educational tutorials like this one.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains
Haha, of course. Thanks for the tutorials.
@6:08 - “they produce a Gleba”. Gleba?!? That was Emma’s first word!!! (Yes, that is a ‘Friends’ reference 😂)
wow!
Didn't know you were into mycology as well, i'm surprised.
I want a poster with the whole taxonomy hehe
👏👍
i'm still waiting for the series on nutrition
When are you going to cover the mushrooms from the Mushroom Kingdom?
I believe that's part 6.
Thank the Heavens. Because those mushrooms are based on some level of reality.
Agaricomycetes mmmm tasty.
How about a video on Amanita Muscaria?
I’ll get to it in this series on agaricales.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains It may or may not relate to the tone of your upcoming video on amanita enough for you to verify what i’m about to say or elaborate on any of it, but there’s a really fascinating assumption surrounding fly agaric’s possible connection to the Eleusinian Mysteries and the Cult of Demeter/Persephone in ancient Greece so whatever. I’ll elaborate regardless I guess.
Apparently after a nine day fast, participants of this ceremony were brought somewhere super secret and given something to drink. Historians claim it was Kykeon (a mixture of barley, pramnian wine, cheese and other natural ingredients) 🤮 but the true contents of said beverage are actually a hot subject of debate amongst many people far smarter and more educated than myself simply because it was hallucinogenic, and none of its known ingredients have that effect as i’m sure you’re aware. It’s assumed the culprit either belongs to the lysergic persuasion of compounds, possibly (but not plausibly) derived from ergot fungus, which would’ve been easily accessible even thousands of years ago from any bad wheat harvest, OR it might’ve been Super Mario’s drug of choice- Amanita Muscaria. The latter was mainly proposed as a likelier possibility due to its powerful psychedelic effects, its abundant existence all over the world, which we know to be fact because folks have been writing about it since the dawn of written language, and also the fact that the only known psychedelic alternative would require deriving a Lysergic acid type drug from ergot which is considered to be far too complicated a process (if not impossible) for the ancient greeks to have serendipitously created even once let alone master crafted for millennia I’m told. Also ergot fungus causes horrible pain and death when ingested by itself- a condition known as St. anthony’s fire iirc which would quickly cause wariness in any local commoners in its proximity, preventing them from experimenting with it recreationally or attempting to cook with it. Fly Agaric on the other hand, although fairly toxic if ingested raw, can be mostly neutralized of its toxic elements by simply boiling it or possibly just by heating it up sufficiently and straining away the liquids it secretes.
There is an astronomically unlikely and sinister possibility that someone using ergot as an intended poison accidentally produced lysergic acid while mixing it with just the right ingredients at just the right temperatures, but again, people way smarter and more educated than myself say there’s no F’n way it was made accidentally or intentionally with the equipment that was available at the time. Also, i took Ochem in college and can concur that laboratory synthesis of even the simplest of substances requires rigorous analysis, copious amounts of experience, and vast amounts of acquired knowledge to obtain any measure of proficiency in the craft, lest you will almost certainly kill your self eventually by toxic inhalation, toxic absorption through your skin, or unexpected rapid combustion regardless of toxicity.
But in any case, the parties involved in the legendary ritual of Demeter all apparently witnessed something so divine and profound after ingesting this “kykeon” tonic that just their spoken claims of experiencing the presence and vision of this thing, allegedly so absolutely magnificent, sublime, and transmundane in significance was sufficient cause for people from all over the world to journey to this cult for themselves. And keep in mind that all their descriptions, no matter how eloquent and flowery the language they used, wouldn’t have actually revealed any details at all about whatever it was they saw. Hence the title Eleusinian MYSTERY. But it STILL was enough to bring people there for thousands of years. Even if it meant starving for 9 days and breaking their fast with a super thick, slimy, and disgusting wine fortified with unpalatable chunks of cheese and barley (adding to its already puke-like personality). They still did it. Just so they could see “it” for themselves. Whatever “it” was.
I couldn’t make this shit up even if i tried. There’s tomes of information surrounding the ceremony‘s occurrence and the cult’s existence and not one single paragraph about what made it so special or interesting to everyone who attended. At least not publicly available. Could be it was all just a really clever hoax and those who attended were too embarrassed by their own gullibility to admit they’d been had by some crooked ass cult promising divine knowledge so everybody played along for pride’s sake. There was no charge for the ceremony though. It was voluntary and free to anybody willing. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I mean there was apparently a mighty fine feast after the fast and disgusting beverage bit, so i’m sure it wasn’t all just pain, suffering and slamming cheese flavored booze, followed by being date raped in the basement of a cult while tripping on poisonous wheat fungus that causes all the least desirable symptoms of any illness imaginable. Nah. They must’ve had quite a bit of fun there and that cult must’ve created a fairly safe and non-hostile environment if it was preserved and cherished for so long by so many people.
Anyway tldr, that’s not even the interesting part. The real meat and potatoes of this legend is the fact that this ceremony was carried out for thousands of years and not one person who participated revealed the great mysterious secret imparted to them at the end (supposedly). Aside from the godly drug induced vision, they were endowed with a secret of such humbling power and life altering essence that its secrecy still remains today out of the indestructible respect people had for it. Meaning no one or hardly anyone in all of history (or at least the huge part of history that this concerns) betrayed its intended confidentiality- hell, possibly in perpetuity, since our modern imaginations might just be too divorced from the minds of people who lived such a long time ago to ever actually figure out what that cult wanted to keep so sequestered.
Whatever it was required sacrifice to obtain though. And not like a dead animal or anything. It was a test of willpower and faith. Only those who endured the trial and had absolute faith were worthy of the prize. And I doubt the prize was just some magic mushrooms and a fancy feast. At least I hope that’s not all it was. Would that sustain 2 thousand years of public interest? No way.
And even if you’re the most atheistic atheist that ever atheisted, there’s no denying the fact that the universe, sentient or not, unraveled in such a way as to preserve the adamantium level of discretion surrounding this cult’s true purpose and the bag of tricks they used to carry it out.
Let’s not overlook the fact that the parties who attended included both the elitest of elite as well as the waifiest of the poor, too, making the temptation to publish this great mystery for profit or notoriety all the more tempting- especially to specific types of opportunistic and sociopathic sorts of people. And that pressure of temptation had centuries to coalesce into action or just spontaneously sublimate in the mind’s eye of any individual of any financial circumstance of any psychological aspect and of even the most desperate disposition in life. But not one person in the 2000 years of its celebration or in the centuries following its gradual decay into memetic obscurity gave in to that temptation…. or so says the legend….
Anyhow. Hope you enjoyed that. I was super bored and felt like enlightening random people on the internet about random things I’ve learned, and Amanita Muscaria is super interesting.
Are the mushrooms that grow on flerf brains edible? LOL 😁
7:23 ah, guilty
おはようございます
IQ and its correlation to genes and environment is really fascinating. The genes of strangers tend to vary than those of siblings and thus their iq would vary more than those who are related. Due to this there is great variation within all 3thnic/rvcivl groups. But as much as there is great variation within groups their is also a gradation between groups such that there is recurring average diferences between ethnic groups. eye q scores in any group of people are spread across a bell curve ranging from an eye q of 60 - 130. There are figures on each end but most people are clustered on the average. There are differncces between ethnic/racial groups on the average ; blVVkS together with arvbs and south asians average an 1q of 85, followed by hispanics and native americans who have an average of 89, Whites would happen to fall at an average of about 96-98 closer to the standard arbritary mark (100), Then East Asians (Japanese, Chinese Korean) would have an average eye q of 103 and finally the ashkenazi jews would have the highest average of about 110.
Wtf does this have to do with mushrooms?
As an astrophysics major, this makes no sense
Its okkk 🫂
first i guess
Are you sure
Man. I'm sorry. I only want to see you clowning on dummies. lol
Can u do a series or a 2hr long video on debunking ayurveda pls
