Touch My Megastrobilus
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- "Megastrobilus" is just a fancy word for "conifer cone", and what sets conifers (aka gymnosperms) apart from flowering plants (angiosperms)? In this episode, with the aid of some nice Moneyshahtz ™️ we will find out.
Baker Cypress is a rare member of the Redwood and Juniper family known for only 11 populations in Northern California, all occurring and a particular Rocky substrate. in this episode we will also be taking a look at the type of ecology that this shade-intolerant species needs to thrive.
This forest needs a fire, and with the way things have been going in California climatically lately, it will probably get one. see a forest where the white fir shades out the rare baker's Cypress, which can only out-compete the white fir on the very thin--soils of recent lava flows.

Woah. Nice.
Thank you!🙏🏼
@@KimChi-iy7jd My pleasure
Your slacking, I've seen several you missed!
Thank you for the service!
@@Idrinklight44 Thanks for noticing! UA-cam released its auto-transcription awhile back which makes any video searchable and uses those transcriptions for video search functions. All of that kinda made this ~very time consuming~ work mostly obsolete. It took me about 2x the length of a video to do this. I was looking up the common names when not provided and the proper spelling/currently accepted scientific names. It was fun work while I had the time. Cheers!
Thank you again for plant therapy and soothing the doomed.
Fuckin A brother.
@@jonathanhamnett4044 Fuckin B brother.
Fuckin C brother
Brother
Your ability to take a superficially mundane subject/species and make it fascinating is unmatched anywhere. This was a great video. Thank you for everything you do!
I'd rather take a walk through the woods with this guy than meet any celebrity. Knowledge, sense of humor and passion.
The Chicago version of "nice" is more historically accurate. It's historically related to the French word "nieseu", which basically means simple and dumb, and "t'es nieseu?" (Are you being nice?) means something like "Are you fucking with me/Are you fucking around?".
Just a bit of intercultural fuckery we can share 👍
🙏
Sarcasm is the best, especially incognito sarcasm
The french understand tolerable disdain.
That’s pretty gneiss
Très bien expliqué Monsieur Plante.
Trees be kinky as hell needing an entire god damn fire to get them going.
Every fucking upload is so damn informative and entertaining, they end up banishing me to the shadow zone of endless googling and Wikipedia articles.
"They're just blowing loads all over the place". Quote of the day!
I worked for the Dupage Co. Forest Preserve District for a few summers back in the late 80s/early 90s. I'm not offended at all (suburban horror in abundance), but I will say that there's lots of good stuff out there, and we were trying our best with the limited resources and feeble knowledge of the leadership.
I feel so impure after the baker cypress dongs.... and also slightly heated 😳
Lol I started dying when he did the close up of the cypress dongs and started shaking it
This member of the human tumor thanks you for your videos. This one was nice in a good way.
I listen to your botanical adventures while I work my soulless day job. Thanks for the help.
"What're ya, fuckin' around?"
Earlier: Shaking a tree branch in the woods, moaning.
Exposed rock, shady elven forests. Everything's covered in loads either way.
The lichen at 5:43 looks like Usnea, also called "old man's beard" and is used medicinally as an antibiotic alternative.
It is Usnea
Really great for fire starting. Had to build a fire out in the wilds of idaho recently but no good tinder as everything was wet from the rain. But i tell ya, that dang witches hair/old mans beard did the trick!
The chartreuse lichen is Letharia. I don't see any Usnea, but Letharia and Usnea are in the same family. The lichen which is all over the branches is Hypogymnia. If you look closely (not sure if you can see in the video) it's hollow, which is why they're called tube lichens. While I don't advocate using lichens as antibiotics, if you do please don't ingest either Letharia or Usnea. Letharia is also know as the wolf lichen as it contains vulpinic acid was soaked with meat to poison wolves and foxes. Usnic acid in Usnea can also be poisonous.
Qué buen video hermoso paisaje y hermosos árboles el río, muchísimas gracias por ese valioso trabajo de botánico
One of the only channels, which has such long videos that I have no problem watching every second of.
Liked the video for microstroboli blowin' loads.
I am having a nice time, it's cpbbd time, that's always nice
Crime Pays but Mother’s Day Doesn’t
I really want Joey to go to Montana and explore. So many places from the Ross Creek Cedars in Cabinet mountains out to the badlands of Makoshika.
I feel like it's a badge of honor if he is out exploring in your area.
hey man, dunno if you saw, but he's done some stuff over there the past little bit. don't know if it is the exact stuff you're talking about because i mostly just see his instagram content in passing and only tune into here if i have lots of time on my hands, but something's better than nothing, right?
I feckin love this habitat!
Doggy ice-cubes w/boullion are great! (my dog likes them too)
Muy bueno el vídeo el bosque es muy bonito.
Recently reintroduced to these videos. Loving it. Especially now there’s a geology connection. Great!
Seriously you make me want to say words I cant!
Awesome, loved this, Thanks! 🙏 Happy Mother’s Day, & Cheers from Southern Oregon.
Thank you again. I love your videos. I've learned so much from you.
I'm likin' the lichen.This reminds me of the first CPBBD video I saw; the power company easements of the piney pinelands, and the carnivorous plants found therein.
I'd love to see you explore the crazy trees and lichens in the North Atlantic, specifically Newfoundland. It's not your usual dry extreme type of location, but we've got some fascinating geology, and adapted plants.
Cheers Tony (Jack and Louis), I was ignorant and now I am enlightened to the Cyprus red light district
every time i hear 'gfy' I think, "love ya too tony" which is weird cause I don't know any tony's
this is one of your best ones fella...you're doing the work bro'....awesome...thank you..
My parents has a Bald Cypress which is native to their area which they planted in an open area which matches up nicely with the old growth native Eastern Hemlocks on their property, which I didn't know but is now listed as threatened. P.S.- because of the devastating wild fires of several years ago, Florida has adopted a regime of controlled fires, done at the correct time of the year with proper precautions it has almost eliminated out of control wildfires, when they do happen they are confined to areas that is more manageable.
Love the money shotz, love the education and the questions.
cheers from Gembrook--Gippsland Victoria Australia. JB
You should go to Alpine AZ I've loved them mountains since I was born!!
I cannot wait for a Florida video! I've been studying native plants here because of this channel and others!
Looks so beautiful there
Please come to Vermont. I loved it when you walked us through a California grocery store and they were selling fiddle heads. I am surrounded with fiddle head ferns. So yummy!!!!!
The tamarack trees in northern Michigan especially on Mackinac island, their cones only open with fire
You sir are the reason i became interested in plants and fungi. Thank you!
I know you don’t want to do it, but I gotta add fuel to the fire. Video podcasts would probably go crazy in your channel. Especially when you can get friends on, other botanists, geologists, mycologists etc.
A man can dream.
He has a podcast. You can find it if you search for cpbbd podcast. Audio only tho
Thank You. Saw down all the white firs. I agree. They thrive off of all of the anthropogenic nitrogen added to the forest by dry deposition.
I'm about to graduate with a bs in botanical biology and a minor in geology and I'm just so glad I found this guy on Facebook one or two months ago.
Ty for this! The John Prine verse in particular
Awesome video, as always
Surprisingly lewd content, nice
Ya I'm with ya small controled fires and less loging. Oh can we see you do a video on trees you planted or you getting tweakers to pull mustard plants for 20$. Anyways I hope you had a good day and see you in next video 🤟
Pool trucking co. My pa worked for them guys. Or at least that was the symbol on the side of that chip trailer
And with this upload, tranquillity returns to my tormented gamer mind. I am grateful.
Enthralling. Thanks for telling me what those grey seedballs are that I've been collecting ;)
Man when he smacked all that pollen off I went into anaphylaxis.
Ahh, I feel better now. Thank you! 🌲👍👏
Genuine nice.
Kool video- 😊thanks
LAKE WHALES RIDGELINE!!! you wont be upset its worth dealing with Florida man trust me..
i live in that area Polk county Florida and hike it almost every weekend, its currently the home of the most rare and endangered plants/animals in the continental us.
there is also two named mountains in the ridgeline!!
I second this...come before the developers eat it all up.
I've seen them chopping up state forests all over...nothing is sacred and lake Wales ridge is being impacted more and more each year.
Sad sad sad times. I need to get back down there...miss seeing the scrub jays and the blasting 105 degree heat at 2 in the PM in July...cant go to the "formal gardens" of bok tower anymore such a tourist trap at least they have their native habitat sort of in tact.
Where do you hike specifically?
Damn I miss my old home (not 99% of the people mostly just the biodiversity).
cypress trees are very useful in horticulture.
Molecular phylogenies elucidate evolutionary relationships nice(ly).
I lived in Lisle. Used to sneak into the Morton Arboretum in a canoe on the east branch of the DuPage River!
great opener - i love watchin dose laags go up da rode in dat truck over dere
Definitely get a good field microscope for a smart device or laptop. We'd all love to hear your commentary on the reproductive bits under magnification.
NorCal is the prettiest part of Cali. I always enjoy driving around there. A lot of the logging there is pine products and various conifer, and cedar. A lot of work in parts of the region is reclamation of fire damage aka chips and salable logs if any. And of course replanting afterwords.
OMG you're in Shasta! how pretty!!! so beautiful and peaceful oh my gahd! get a $5 gallon of gas for me
Incredible, thanks, and in a language I can understand.
I ❤🌵
And square bodys....
Glad you're coming up here. Greetings from Siskiyou County.
Mornin ya Silly Bastid.. Thank you
Im so glad I wasn’t in movie theaters in the 70s!
Very salacious title you got there..
Man, my allergies are acting up just WATCHING this ep.
Jack is so cute!
In the central Sierras, I see areas where the firs and pine can not complete with the black oaks. The oaks in the shade die out, those out on the granite domes with thin soil do better.
greetings from Trinity! definitely swing by the county if you’re in the area
A lot of those low grade trees get pulped and turned into paper products, or of they are really bad, lignin is extracted and then the fiber gets pressed into OSB, fiber board and made into dogshit ikea furniture.
OSB is important in the manufacture of many of the garbage tract housing going up in tomorrow's future-less, automobile-slum exurbs.
@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt makes me puke seeing what canada's Alpine fir is being turned into. would be better better as fire wood.
I'm from DuPage. I sure was sad and depressed. I hope to check out that tree at the Morton arboretum. Ya prick. Love ur vids ,.,. Sincerely an urban farmer in Chicago and aspiring ecologist. One of my little plots is close to the movie theater off 42nd
Peace.
Voice as smooth as Prine himself
Nice video. Real nice.
That truck at beginning is a chip truck, not log. Which may address your question regarding low quality timber they may be taking out
I would love to see you play geoguessr. I bet the plant knowledge would be handy
Jack rocks! Put a little fresh honey on that snow cone.
💚
@23:40 sand plains of Florida... had a family member that planted acres of trees down there. rip Jack Stites.
For the Bay Area folks, DuPage County is roughly the San Mateo County of Chicagoland. But without the mountains or anything beautiful. Except for Fermilab, if you're a nerd who finds megascience beautiful.
And Argonne
NICE
Handsome dogs. They appear t9 be australian cattle dogs or blue heelers. They look a little different to how they do out here, im australian. Love the channel btw.
Loved this episode. I just know I’ll be watching Family Guy and hear Tony’s voice….
Giggity giggity!
If you ever get a chance to go to Japan... I would be REALLY interested in hearing about the Forests which have Japanese Ceder...
I believe they are called, "Cryptomeria japonica".
I'd like to see you show and discuss Usnea. Very good video, only slightly dirty.
ur in top form !!!
Knoxville area lake county has some nice!!!! Cypress really old trees I'm told
Home des peht 😂 love it
FYI it's really fun to turn on the captions for these videos!
LOL!!!!!!
Micro strobe light.
This guy: Aye, I’m walk’n ere’
The forest: 🗿
Hey, So it's been a year since I un-subscribed over this lockdown BS. But, your content is too damn good to stay away, so I decided to re-subscribed.
I'm moving to Klamath Falls, fascinated with the plants there.
All the best,

🍄 Fungus is the vanguard for reforestation. 🍄
Fungus also signals that it's been a while since a wildfire too because the heat spread so far underground even deeply underneath the organic topsoil.
4:40
And oddly enough, there was a decent size wildfire a couple weeks later…
😂🤔
This is just north of me. Beautiful area that I've been to often.
My special tree is native WA state Western White Pine. Did a statistical report on WWP blister rust in forester school in 96.
I did not know this tree,
it's so fkn cool, it's strong medince.
Give the land owner a call. Cleaning up that little patch of a potential threatened spieces would be good PR & the right thing to do.
Somebody already put it on YT. lol.
I have a 12yr old geriatric blue dog.
GFY
Damn so close to where I live. It would be awesome next time your in this area to meet up and learn more about my local areas and maybe show you some areas a little more off the beaten path. If you drove on 299 east and drove through round mountain you were close to my parents place. The fountain fire in the early 90's actually started at the bottom of there hill my dad was the first on the fire. The news said it was a suspected arsonist but the same day pg&e was working on the power lines right around where the fire started, so the news was probably bullshit. Who knows though thats just what my parents and a few neighbors said they noticed I was only 2 at the time. If you go down big bend road you could find some cool stuff they have yew trees, dogwoods, ammonite fossils, and all sorts of other random plants that the surrounding areas dont have. Big bend road even cuts through to Mcloud so its just west of Burney which you can take Hagen flats road to big bend from Burney which has some nice camp grounds along the creek. Love your videos and am always looking forward to the more local ones
