How might the comment on how we animals reproduce? 😨 I think that organism is stabbing the other one! It must be infected after the attack, look at the body swelling over the months! 😮 😶 It exploded...and a smaller one fell out 😨 Why can't they just use spores like a normal organism? 😢
I've been obsessed with these things since I was a little kid and I had no idea they were a fungus until a few years ago. I thought they were some kind of dead tree part, or maybe an insect nest, but the truth is WAY cooler!
That's so interesting! Our crew also filmed another type of fungus, but in this case, it depends on ants. Our teams followed leafcutter ants, which are not really leaf-eater ants. After transporting their haul to underground nests, they crush and cut the leaves and even discharge faecal liquids to break them down into suitable pieces for their farms. All of this is to sustain a white fungus that they grow in their nests to help feed them and their young. It's fascinating to see these ant farms!
I remember stumbling onto one of these guys stuck to a twig as a little kid in Minnesota, and thought I had found a fairy bird nest! Nature is SO cool.
@@KQEDDeepLook I have a Wine Cap mushroom bed in my garden. Was reading an article about Nematophagous Fungi and it mentioned Wine Caps (Stropharia) . They eat nematodes and break down decaying wood. It sounds so cool I have tasty predators making compost in my garden.
I've noticed these little cuties in the vineyard hanging out at the base of the vines. Have also seen them growing from old apple bins. I had no idea they were so well traveled.

Hey deep look, I was at an airport in California for my flight to Arkansas and my phone died, but I looked up at one of the tv’s in the lounge and they where playing your videos! It was the one about the potatoe bugs I already saw it before but I didn’t mind rewatching good work guys and thanks for the save😂
Great video! Have you considered doing another on Artillery Fungus (Sphaerobolus spp.)? I would love to see some high-speed video of them launching their peridioles!
0:35 "Two of them would barely cover your thumbnail.". Oh that must be very bad for user-click through rate then, as UA-cam usually favors thumbnails with big eye catching elements.
Oh! I was wondering what was growing in my vacant garden pots. Now I know its these little guys, I was so confused at first because I wanted to believe they were fungi but their little 'seedlets' and general shape just threw me off so much that I had no idea what it could be, kinda freaked me out. But its interesting to find out yet another dispersal mechanism fungi use, evolution is odd.
You suddenly realize that fungus are the most efficient in developing ways to spread. And you can never really purge a species even if you wanted to because it will hide out somewhere in some form.
OMG, this time around Deep Look is gone way beyond the usual surprise! A very unusual mode of dispersion. It's more like ordinary plants which it is Not! Extraordinary ..... That indicates how our imagination is limited. A different order of job done! Keep it up!
This proves once again why we created a whole separate category for fungi and learned about them as "not a plant, an animal, or a bacteria - just random organisms that don't fit into any category."
these lil guys are growing on the decaying inactive railroad by my place, i'm always surprised they live on such toxic tarred wood. considering how much roundup was sprayed onto those tracks over the years. but here they remain. still growing
Not surprising when you learn more about how they operate. For an eye-opening look at their chemistry magic, be sure to google 'paul stamets, how mushrooms can save the world'. In fact, without fungi, we would probably not be here. They converted the mineral wasteland that was our young planet into elements that the first single-celled organisms could consume to live and evolve.
I want a high framerate timelapse of the mushroom growing. Those far apart images in the video did not capture how the peridial develops and separates from the body of the mushroom very well.
Man, mushrooms have some of the craziest spore dispersing methods
SO much variety.

I have never even imagined that such mushroom exists.

my favorite part was the narrators sound effects of collisions
BAM!
@@KQEDDeepLook POW!
@@MSWMWZAP!
I was not even aware of these mushrooms being a thing until today. Their name is very meaning considering they do indeed house their young.
Great job Deep Look you always make these videos so fun, funny, and educational!!
You are so welcome Kim! We always look forward to your comments. :-)

Yay! We almost took them out. Glad we didn't.
It's the best part of the video! So glad it was added in @KQEDDeepLook

Nature is weirdly wonderful and amazing. I hope that all of humanity sees and appreciates its value before it's too late.

These videos are of the highest quality. Narration informative and fun, visuals are beautiful, music is perfectly fitted... chef's kiss every time
Wow! Thanks for the kind words. We *love* making these videos.
Let's be real, fungi are like plants, but with strange superpowers.
I was surprised by how small they were when I first found them tbh
Very fun to photograph and video.
Flying saucer-shaped mushrooms? Adventure Time warned us about this!
Nice, a plate that fills itself with mushroom biscuits.

This is such a specific and complicated way to spread spores. I love it.
My mouth was open the entire video.
Flying mushrooms, just when I thought I had seen a good amount of nature’s weirdness…
Seth Samuel using musical motif so artfully to make this content even more accessible 👏👏👏
Okay I am now obsessed with these birds nest mushrooms, I’ve never seen these before, they’re so cute 😭
Fungi never seems to stop finding a new way to live

Hehe, cute! Even worse, this thumbnail is covered in fungus! I tried putting Lotrimin on my iPad screen, I think that was a bad idea…
True, in this case one barely covers our thumbnail....
Mycology is such a fascinating topic! I hope you guys do more videos on this wonderful world in the future 🍄❤🍄❤️🍄
Thanks Ella!
Must be among the cutest mushrooms I've seen so far!
Agree!
FINALLY YOU POSTED I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH😍😍😍
I love how the sound effect of bam/pow are produced.
Just when you think you know all the spore dispersal methods 😂

Fascinating weird but why does it look like coffee beans haha
You enjoyed those sound effects way too much. Love it. :)
Found the fungus last week in my garden took some pictures of it but didn’t had the time yet to look him up….thanks for the information very cool! ❤
Plop and a drop! Cool fungi ❤
You suddenly realize that fungus are the most efficient in developing ways to spread. And you can never really purge a species even if you wanted to because it will hide out somewhere in some form.
I have touched them but there seeds like small stones
If fungi can fly the next season of The Last of Us would be much harder to survive for Joel and Ellie
Always bossing it Deep Look 💚💙
OHMYGOSH I LIKE THOSE TIPS OF DOCUMENTARIES SOO MUCH THIS WAS SOOOO FUNNNN
Great video!! Very entertaining!!

Thanks Hiroki!
@@KQEDDeepLook how do you know REAL name?! Not encrypted..... Glitch
When the title says “This mushroom can fly” I nearly thought these spores will go airborne, kinda like a dandelion
MY GOD CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE ORIGINAL MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE??? ITS HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!! 🥹🫶🏼
Seth Samuel is our composer and he is amazing.
Some fungi can fly, some can make you fly.
Love this video! And love your narration!!
I didn’t know deers have their own jellybeans xD 2:32
I remember learning about liverworts having splash cups, but I didn’t know some fungi had them too!
Perfect appropriate name for these fungi! 💜✌
When people first found these they must have been so confused
I am addicted to deep look
This channel makes everything serious love it
How did they even begin to evolve like that?
Perfect title for a book about everything!
Biology 101, the ones that didn't evolve this died out.
Great job with this and I have never known of this type of fungus until now.
Fungi have some of the most bizarre dispersal techniques on the planet.
This proves once again why we created a whole separate category for fungi and learned about them as "not a plant, an animal, or a bacteria - just random organisms that don't fit into any category."
Cute... Is a bird nest with eggs but mushroom...
Fungus is full of suprise and creative
"It's a slightly undignified journey, starting with a plop"
And ending in a plop.
Read the title and thought to myself "This one in Australia too??"
These are the best videos! Love the narration too!
Her voice is so good 👍
So cool and I love our Narrator❤😊
She had fun with this one. :-)
Love You Deep Look
more fungi content, please!
We'll keep trying, Jason!
I can fly too! Just let me eat a mushroom...
I wonder if anyone has ever made silk or something out of fungi threads before
Need longer videos 🙏🏻 they are very interesting, great narrating.
videography is soooooo good!
One of the most important and overlooked piece of nature
Hmm. Actual representation of how raindrops got some kick in them
im not sure how or when i found this channel but ive loved every video including this one!
Glad you enjoy it!
THIS IS SO COOL! THIS IS WHY I SUBSCRIBE!
YAAAAAAAAAY!
I don't know why but I get freaked out hearing the word "spores" especially with words in front of it like "thousands" and "millions" 😂
Such an interesting evolutionary strategy, yet surprisingly similar to fruits in a sense! :o
Why am i interested of listening of these instead of actually listening in school
the music is so satisfying..
This is probably the most unique fungi I've ever seen
1:30 sounds cute hahahah
The narration is fantastic 😄
3 cheers for Laura Klivans!

And I thought flying Spirit was bad...
How about an ep on *horse flies* ?
I see these all the time in my garden boxes!
If there's a strategy, you can bet a fungus has already deployed it somewhere.
I've never seen a mushroom dispersed like how plants disperse their seeds. Interesting!!
I want a high framerate timelapse of the mushroom growing. Those far apart images in the video did not capture how the peridial develops and separates from the body of the mushroom very well.
0:35 what the fungi doin 🤨
I identify as this mushroom now i have eggs with spores
Go forth and disperse!
fungi when I tell them to disperse spores in a normal way
Always wondered why they looked like that. Neat!
