  • Stinkhorns are some of the strangest and most otherworldly of all fungi, and here in Australia, there is quite an impressive array of these remarkable mushrooms. In this video, you'll learn about the shared, defining features that unite these fungi, and get to see some of the common local species I've found and filmed around my area.

      @@BugsandBiology I remember watching one of your bushwalk videos from a while and you talked a little about the fungi and mentioned possibly doing a full video on them. I'm glad you did.
      I'm on the west coast of Aus. Not sure what kind of stinkhorns we get here if any. I've never seen any before on my walks, but I also very well may not have known what I was looking at at the time.
      Glad to hear there will be more and you still went through with it despite not knowing how it would be received.

      I believe stinkhorns are called “stinkmorchel” in German, which means “stinking morel”.

    Very interesting, informative & fun! More, please! 😁 I've always wondered why some look like brains & others male... eh 😅 I had to stop to take pictures of this huge, grotesque looking growth 🧠 🌳 under a tree one day while walking my dog because I had never seen anything like it before. It was so random & was the only one like it I had come across at the time. I was gobsmacked & thought I was looking at an alien or something that came from an alien 😂

    Wow at 6:17 , they look like the eggs from the movie Alien. Those were that critter came out who hugs your face and lays another egg in your tummy... 😮😮
    Are those "skirts" on the Phus Multicolor 9:48 and others like it for collection of waterdew in the morning? So the mushroom can stay "fresh" for longer. Wihout some extra water I would think the fungi would not be able to substain a mushroom that bigg for long. So why not collect some water from the air.
    Loved this video, there should be more on youtube to make a lot of people better understand how crucial fungi are for our world.
    Thanks. ❤

    My friend lived in hong kong when he was a kid. American white guy. The mothers of the other children thought he had it bad off cause he didn't have a certain British accent. We found it rather funny. I can't help but listen to you and see these mothers stressing a particular accent.

    Now those are some real fungi-s (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ I always appreciate more mycelium based content entering the data stream. Just like many/most insects/arachnids there is a primordial fear surrounding them that is founded on ignorance -- though most fear of any sort is.
    On a personal note - I'm particularly indebted to The Golden Teacher broad family of mushroom for saving my life from depression. The growing research around their ability to rewire the brain of sufferers is separate from their infamous gooviness (a factor I caution about in case this post be taken as an endorsement for unsupervised use) but some argue was the key our ancestors used to unlock our still evolving consciousness.
    With other mushrooms' ability to pull heavy metals from the soil and clear oil from sea water at truly miraculous rates I do hope you'll continue to inject some info-spores on these incredible beings amid your regular content (though the places where the two subjects overlap might be best haunted housed in the spookier seasons 🧟🧟‍♂🧟‍♀!_!)

    Are these mushroom have enough toxicity to harm a human. This is a brightly colored shroom so that made me question it. It’s not blue which signifies something else.

      They’re edible in the egg stage, and in some cases the adult sporocarps can be consumed. Phallus indusiatus (the white veiled one) is a delicacy in some localities - I’ve tried it myself, and it’s actually really nice in soup.
      Most I’d say are inedible, but not exactly dangerous.

      Uluṟu? It’s a rock formation.
      Any published research suggesting it’s a piece of heart muscle?
      Also by your logic, every bare cliff face with plants growing on it must consist of living tissue. For that matter, there’s a brick wall near my place with ferns growing on it. Guess that’s heart muscle too…
