    For the folks that want to watch a lowres version, you can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/OEuRxXVWoWg/v-deo.html
    The reason we had to export/upload in 4k is because UA-cam kept compressing earlier versions (like the unlisted link above) and when you spend literal weeks working on a project you don't want to post the version that looks like it was filmed with a potato

      Mushrooms are capable of making huge changes VERY quickly, so they give me more hope for the future than anything else! They hold soil from being eroded, provide antibiotics and sugars to bees, DIGEST PLASTIC AND RADIOACTIVE WASTE, regenerate damaged neural pathways AND create new ones, control pests, boost crop yields and defend against blights! The list goes on and on...

      Id suggest the issue is more knowing what mushroom you've munched on. Europe has many generations of knowing whats what, n also domestication. Tasty mushrooms get spread way further than deadly ones. Evolution!. Thats taken thousands of years. Hundreds of years in the Americas. In Australia, the advice is simply dont. Still, any mushroom thats gone thru a cow is considered ok. Its either gonna be a steak serve of protein or gonna trip you balls. Them wild ones, we just dont know. Yet.

      if you do clean them where you find them, be sure to hide the trimmings or you will alert others to the location of you patch. Also, by the time a mushroom gets to harverstable size, it's already released billions of spores in that area.

    This is a fun video! I have taken my kids mushroom hunting on the past couple weeks here in England. I know very little about how to identify them (I know a few basic varieties, like puffball and we identified a nice cluster of Turkey tail on a tree stump) but we just had a whale of a time photographing them and seeing how many different types we could find! We probably came across 25ish different types in the 3 pretty small locations we searched.

The reindeer in Scandinavia would eat them and then trip out and run around leaping into the air.

Like if dots came in pale pink. Kind of translucent, with the round end on the wood and the flat end out. I never could find anything that looked remotely like it in a guide or on the internet, but I figure it was probably a fungus or an organism that includes fungus.

      I know where some pop every year...right behind my kid's primary school! They have a lot of wooded area, some of which they use for Forest School (where the students get to explore and learn in nature) and another area next to a field where they do outdoor sports and such on nice days. The lightly wooded area along the field section also runs alongside the back path into the school. Right at the bottom, on the other side of the fence, I have always noticed a good grouping of them. They are quite massive, frilly, beautiful mushrooms! I haven't noticed them yet this year, hopefully they'll be up after the kids return next week from half term. Too bad I can't get to them!

      They are delicious! I found 4 or 5 that turned inky before I finally found a bunch that were all just right for eating,

      They said on a comment further up they were having issues uploading it and had to upload the 4k version, it was uploaded and published within an hour so the auto low-res options didn't get an opportunity to apply themselves

      Same issue, I think UA-cam automatically provides the lower qualities but it takes time, so I reckon this video is newly uploaded (as opposed to uploaded earlier and not published till now) and hasn't had time for the lower quality options to be engaged.

    • @thebrainscoop
      @thebrainscoop  5 років тому +8

      We normally upload a file in 1080 but UA-cam was compressing the footage so poorly it was unwatchable. Tried everything to get around it, finally we had to export a 4k version, upload it through Google Photos (what) and then import it into UA-cam. And yes, this was published within an hour after upload so hopefully it will provide lowres versions soon.

      ​@@MikeDawson1 Yes, but lots of people have older machines, are on restricted data plans, want to watch at 2x, or don't care about 4k video.
      Also, while my machine is from this decade, I specifically bought it to handle nothing more than 1080 30fps, it'll struggle through higher defs, but it really doesn't like it.
