I’m a big fan of mushrooms. The edible ones are delicious. I’m less of a fan of fungi that cause infections in humans, such as yeast or ringworm. That kind of fungus can F right off.
I do think a follow up video about molds and yeast could be interesting though.

How you willingly gave up your right to freedom of religion. How you willingly wore a mask when there was absolutely no scientific basis for it… None in fact it made the spreading worse. How you willingly were taught to hate people who didn’t want to take an experimental vaccination. You willingly believed that the experimental vaccination worked. How you willingly believed if you were vaccinated you couldn’t spread the Beijing virus. They made you cowtown to a false God Dr. Fauci who lied and misled everyone on his culpability in Genocide. Joe Biden and the Democrats did that to you… Let that sink in

I don’t think its surprising that psilocybin is so similar to serotonin and binds to all the serotonin receptors in the brain. After all outside of the brain serotonin is massively involved in digestion. There is more serotonin in your gut than your brain. So if psilocybin was some sort of protection targeting serotonin receptors in the digestive tract of animals makes perfect sense. Its just pure coincidence that serotonin is also used in the brain or mamals, allowing psilocybin to have unintended affects.

Don’t have to listen to this to know the answer is YES. But Like, it would have to be insanely more complex than what there is now. If it ever happens, it was likely manufactured by humans. It just needs so much evolution in a specific direction it’s impossible unless it somehow evolves with humans.

Dr. Hibbett was one of my favorite college professors. Such a chill dude and a mega nerd–someone who I truly admired and respected. He had Paul Stamets (yeah, that mushroom guy) give 2 guest lectures during my time at Clark University.

The lethal dose of the most deadly mushroom in the world is .1 mg per KG of bodyweight. So, if you’re an average 72kg male, just eat half of the lethal dose (3.6mg) and see if you get sick. If you don’t, double it and subtract 1mg. If you still don’t get sick, your safe to add the original dose again (1.5x lethal dose if it’s the most deadly mushroom in the world… it clearly isn’t or you would have been sick by now).

How tired do mycologists get of mushroom puns? 🙂
the only thing he got wrong is that no animal can do photosynthesis. That depends entirely on how nitpicky you’re willing to be. A species of sea slug is able to eat specific plants and then utilize their photosynthesis for themselves and I think that’s pretty neat 🙂

“What about the ant zombies?”
“I don’t like the word zombie, it’s misleading. Actually, the mushroom mindcontrols and eat the ant alive.”

I guess one of the answers for the last question is because of the series the last of us where it portrays that if cordyceps just evolve to withstand the human body condition and eventually take over the world, well I could be wrong but at least the thumbnail was similar to that series

Not worried about mushrooms controlling humans but “Everybody should be obsessed about mushrooms, you should join a mushroom club”.
Not saying this dude’s controlled by mushrooms but he’s definitely controlled by mushrooms. 🤔

What I wonder about mycoremediation is, now that people’s bodies are saturated with microplastics, would releasing plastic-destroying spores en masse pose a health risk? Could they tear peoples’ bodies apart trying to get at the pollutants inside? And if so, maybe that would be better than the alternative…
