    In this fungal biology video, we explore a variety of mushroom biology topics including the fungal life cycle, primary mushroom characteristics, the structure and function of hyphae, the role of mushrooms in ecosystems, and how mushrooms differ from plants and animals.
    00:00 - Introduction!
    00:24 - A brief history of mycology
    02:08 - What is a fungus? How mushrooms differ from plants and animals
    06:12 - How fungi grow in their environment
    08:46 - Fungal hyphae
    11:20 - The complete mushroom life cycle

      It's german. Spitze is like the tip of a pencil, spitz meaning pointy, and körper means body ^^

    I was looking for a summary on the evolution, ecology, and life cycle of fungi, and it turns out this was EXACTLY what I wanted to hear! Additionally, understanding why mycology still remains a subset of botany in most higher educational institutions today is now so crystal clear! Thanks to your well-explained history of mycology as a subset of botany, I can appreciate that it is still taught this way in institutions, and even more excitingly, I can value the fact that there is so much exciting work for US to do to make it emerge as its own distinct field of study! After a few short decades, I hope we can bring mycology the recognition it deserves as a unique and valuable field all its own. And its thanks to people like you that we will soon achieve this goal! Thanks! Wishing you all the success in the world, you are a fantastic teacher!

    Excellent. especially, the explanation of alteration of generations. so genetic recombination occurs only in the short time before spore formation. Before that, the haploid hyphae are clones of their spores, have no genetic variation. After meiosis, the four daughter cells are all genetically different.

    "1.8 million meters per second" I listened to it twice to make sure that's what was said. I'm a bit skeptical that any mushrooms are spitting out spores at that velocity. That's 1/166 the speed of light, or about four million miles per hour in units that will be more familiar to a lot of people. Dropping the "million" seems more realistic and still very fast for a tiny object moving through the air.
    I did enjoy the presentation, though.

    You might want to understand what you actually talk about instead of copy pasting what you read off the Web. No spore is capable of being ejected at 1.8 million metres per second. You probably misunderstood this excerpt.
    "“The fastest spores travelled more than 1 million times their own ‘body’ length in one second,” says Money. “A 1.8-metre human travelling at 1 million times his or her body length in one second would be travelling at a velocity of 1.8 million meters per second, which is more than 5000 times the speed of sound.”
