The WEIRD World of STINKHORN Mushrooms!

by



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.

  2. Glad to see you branching out even more!! I already was anticipating this video but it’s still utterly fascinating to me!! I learned so much new stuff that I didn’t even remotely know about… thanks for teaching me 🙂

  5. 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 🧟🧟‍♂🧟‍♀!_!)

  6. Oh yeah we have stinky fingers. They do look phallic but the smell.

    Well phallacea explains why they look like..a dong.

    Smell is really hard to describe but NOT GOOD is very fitting

  9. 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 😂

    🍄 ❤️ 🍄
