I love this, I love all of it. The frog is amazing, and I particularly enjoyed Jessie's enjoyment of the very weirdness of this frog. So fun. Good job.
Okay! Where to start... I grew up in the outdoors, those lichen are in the back drop that is the story of my life. So to stumble on this is a treat, but toads, frogs and pollywogs, were there too. So thank you for the education. Lmao... when she says Dad will just snack on a couple😆😅🤣🤣
I really enjoy seeing people like Jessie that are so excited about things that get passes up by everyone. I didn't know that that toad ate it's goo shell. It's fascinating.
when you'r a lichen expert are you a mycologist , a botanist (though I suppose algae aren't plants? just an informal term for a photosynthetic organism that is not a plant?), a micro biologist, a macrobiologist, or just a really fungi?
He would be considered a botanist and more specifically a mycologist, botany encompasses all photosynthetic organisms and fungi. Although more closely related to animals the zoologists don't want to take the fungi and the botanists don't want to give them up, The microbiologists have some beef with fungi as the spores keep getting in their bacterial cultures.
TheRedKnight wait so I can be a botanist and still study fungi under the title of botanist!? dude you have no idea how happy you just made me, picking a major just became a lot easier.
Reece Crump If you are interested in mycology make sure to look for a college that offers it as a class and has more then one class in it. I was lucky as mycology was taught as it's own course where I go and not in botany. Mycology is really cool but does not get the recognition it deserves in many colleges. Make sure the college you go to has a mycologist who actively studies it for the best experience. Also as a botany major you will obviously have more plant courses then fungal so I hope you like plants.
I happened to meet a bunch of Spanish moss and lichen guys when I was in Chile, plus an English one and a couple of Danes. There are lots of good mosses and lichens around Tierra del Fuego. Dr Leopoldo Sancho from the Complutense Universidad de Madrid gave a little impromptu talk about them in the middle of the forest and it was the first time I'd ever listened to someone speak Spanish and understood every word they said.
I phrased it abit poorly, I meant that they have many identical facial features. To me least it looks like Hank Green (its the host right?) and his future self to the left.
I'm psyched that you brought on Dr. Toby Spribille, and asked him some interesting lichen evolution questions too. I'm disappointed that you didn't let him talk for the whole half hour, though!
Is it possible that lichen existed before trees developed the ability to produce resin that turns into amber, but just was't preserved due to lack of resin turning into amber?
Hank, look up Cane Toads (Marine Toads), they are the largest toad species and have the largest poison glands on their backs. Some day, I hope to have a female one as a pet. Male frogs and toads make noise and although you may not mind the noise or even love the noises, it can be annoying if they do it while you try to sleep and keep waking you up. They don't grow out of making noises.
Awesome episode (avoiding the puns). It was interesting to see that Hank didn't know toads could be poisonous, but then, I live in Australia and every kid learn about cane toads and how they spray dogs and people and kill native wildlife.
i want to know if lichen & mosses are parasitic or symbiotic with trees? do they gain water or nutrients from the trees? or just live on them & gain it from rain & their own detritus rotting to make a kind of soil on the bark? ive noticed small branches on many trees are dead & covered in lichen & mosses.. are they just growing more after the branch died of some other reason or did they cause the death of the branch by starving its leaves for water & nutrients?
well, define "forever" Presumably eventually they'd just be so modified in dormant state without the ability to repair minor damage that they would cease being able to revive. But that could perhaps take thousands of years. In all likelihood in that time frame their habitat will have changed too much or some critter would have passed by and consumed them before they'd actually have reached this state of decay. But that's entirely a guess.
Fun fact about bull frogs. They are part of their own food chain. Like everywhere all the time. They literally eat anything that fits in their their mouth and is unfortunate enough to walk in front of them. She really sort of humanized that frog lol. They are more machine and reflex than anything.
It's a countable noun with an irregular plural, like euro. 1 euro, 2 euro. 1 lichen, 2 lichen. It ends in "en" which is an anglo-saxon plural (like children) so it sounds odd to say lichens .
The first time I've ever been bit by a frog, it was by a baby pixie frog at a pet store. The employee was letting me pet it when they were going around feeding them all. The tiny little piggy must have thought I was food and got half my finger in its mouth. It actually hurt a little. Not bad, but I definitely wouldn't want to be bit again. Lol.
I found the topic of discussion relatively intresting. But i coudn´t keep myself intrested very long, the shots were very static( not much movement) and i kept getting frustrated because i wanted to see the intresting things and not your still intresting but not as intresting facial expressions. I coudnt really get connected to the lichens or the frog. The questions Hank asked where intresting but already quite specific. I personally would have loved a good introduction to lay the foundation about the lichens generally. It was a bit short and lagged connection to the viewer, have i seen them before ? where do i find them ? how do they look? Presentation of the thing you talked about did not or only very briefly happen. Close up shots of the things makes it more alive. Leiches are/can be beatifull and dainty. I only knew that after i googled. I felt like Hank was too happy to move to and didnt take enough time to look at the things. After putting it in water it changed. Show me what changed and why, handle the thing, and tell me that it lives and what it does. The close up shots were very short, probably because of the conversation. It felt more like a podcast no talking brakes and very few visuals. Things are intresting when they do something and the lichens did a lot but you didnt showcase it, same with the frog. I liked the introduction of the frog very much, additionally the energy of the talk changed entirely. Hank and Toby were very calm and i enjoyed them talking but jessi made the hole talk more engaging. Not only because the seemed more energetic but also because she included relatable examples and a lot of gesticulation. Shots of the things are still missing. I hope you can do something with that information. best wishes ME
Jessi brings such an happy and positive aura with her, you can tell she really loves her job and is excited about explaining animals to everyone.
she's lit imo
Why did the alga and the fungus get married? They took a lichen to each other.
I have bad news. Their marriage is on the rocks.
No.
this was hilarious I love science jokes
I love this :)
Lichen the joke.
And they live out in the sticks
I feel like the joke about kids loving lichen as much as dinosaurs went right over his head. He just loves them so much
Levi Howell I thought the same lol
Sitting Still with Lichen
I love hearing specialists talk.
So this is one of the first Sci-show talk shows that I watched all the way through and I really enjoyed it. The lichen was super cool.
I like imagining Hank walking down the street and seeing a frog and saying "hey, buddy!"
Then the frog holds out a fist for a bump
This is so much easier to mentally digest and has been made much more interesting than the way my text books put this subject.
+
This episode has green lichen, green frog and a green Hank.
Also, at 23:05 Hank "fat shames" a frog. LOL
Brutal LOL
I love how Jessi was offended on behalf of the frog xD
I love this, I love all of it. The frog is amazing, and I particularly enjoyed Jessie's enjoyment of the very weirdness of this frog. So fun. Good job.
If you enjoyed the video lich and subscibe.

I'm taken a lichen to this series
I think it's on the rocks
It's on one side of the fence if you ask me, definitely not both sides
I know that moss of the time I am on the north side.
All of you go back to reddit...
@ LordSlag- frog lover
Damn! Hank is really good at being a talk show host.
I really enjoy seeing people like Jessie that are so excited about things that get passes up by everyone.
I didn't know that that toad ate it's goo shell. It's fascinating.
I had no idea lichen were so complex. Mind. Blown. =)
so there's a really interesting reason why forests look greener after a rain!
I’m going to see the lichen collection behind the scenes in the London Natural History Museum - so I wanted to do some research before hand! Thanks!
"...Explain that to me, because that sounds fascinating." Scishow motto.

a lichenologist
I really enjoy the long format. Keep it coming!
I've taken a lichen to you.
Underrated comment.
You seem like a fungi
good on you
XDDD

Fascinating!!!!!! Awesome video!
Okay, this was amazing. Science teachers take note.
I never really took a liking to lichen (I know missed pun opportunity), but this made me quite interested! Thanks out to Toby and SciShow!
nice timing :)) I have a test about lichen this week, quite helpful 💫
One of my TA's at university was involved with this research and just discussed it in lecture around a week ago, so cool!
No idea what a lichen is but it sure made me press that like button.
So excited you guys did a video on this! I am studying something very similar and it's exciting to see people take an interest in it. :)
This was really interesting!
I liched it
I happened to meet a bunch of Spanish moss and lichen guys when I was in Chile, plus an English one and a couple of Danes. There are lots of good mosses and lichens around Tierra del Fuego. Dr Leopoldo Sancho from the Complutense Universidad de Madrid gave a little impromptu talk about them in the middle of the forest and it was the first time I'd ever listened to someone speak Spanish and understood every word they said.
This was a great scishow talkshow! Really fascinating about the lichen.
Not a kid but I always found mosses fascinating. More fascinating than dinosaurs. I am interested in learning more about lichens!
"Let's see how they feel around lichen" and I added in my head: "Let's see if they like 'em" badum tish!
Using lichens for the plural is similar to how you can correctly use the term "deers" when speaking of multiple species of deer.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Excellent show. Thank you!
This is good stuff, well done SciShow
I care so much more about lichen now! Really interesting thanks for a great talk!
Excited people talking about Lichen and Frogs, I very like it
You should get Toby and Kallie on at the same time and have a mini panel discussion on lichen!
Great talk. I'm really lichen it. Super informative.
Lichen follows the fish plural rule. When discussing varieties of lichen they are lichens, but otherwise the plural is lichen.
best talk in youtube!!
This Ep Rocks!
Keep talking with awesome people !! #knowledge
You two look extremly identical... down to sharing the same glasses.
I think you need glasses
I phrased it abit poorly, I meant that they have many identical facial features. To me least it looks like Hank Green (its the host right?) and his future self to the left.
How to lichen reproduce? What processes does a young lichen need to go through to become a fully grown lichen? Do they have any predators?
love it! lichens are gosh darned interesting. cool vid!
SciShow Nature with Jessie would be amazing.
9:30 for those wondering when they start talking about the title subject matter.
+Jacob Ellinger they are talking about the subject matter pretty quickly.
I'm psyched that you brought on Dr. Toby Spribille, and asked him some interesting lichen evolution questions too. I'm disappointed that you didn't let him talk for the whole half hour, though!
I have an exam question on this tomorrow, good recap :)
I had no idea there was so much to know about lichens :-)
The guest, Toby, knew what he was talking about and was also real funny.
Exact man I'd want to have explain this shit to me.
You should get this guy back on
"That is weird"
Hank points at Heavyset frog
"You are weird"
8:51 for the new lichen discovery
Perhaps affix an 's' to the end of 'lichen' when referring to multiple types of lichen in the same sentence?
Poor little frogs and toads. Life is hard enough for them as it is- without us making it bloody impossible for them!
"I really Lichen Toby Spribille" bumper sticker on dftba.com?
Based on the discussion ~25:40,why aren’t they called Gowachin?
Ecclesiastes 4:12 comes to mind.
Wait! I thought they would feed the frog some lichen?
MORE!!!!!!!!!!
In regards to lichen/lichens it could be like fish and fishes where one refers to a single species and the other refers to multiple species.
Please can we have a regular uploaded scishow quiz show
i came so early comment section wasn't even loaded yet
drink everytime they say lichen
good idea ∆drinks∆
insert fun guy joke here
Is it possible that lichen existed before trees developed the ability to produce resin that turns into amber, but just was't preserved due to lack of resin turning into amber?
Anyone else notice how Toby kinda looks like a mix between Cody Johnston and Adam Savage?
Hank, look up Cane Toads (Marine Toads), they are the largest toad species and have the largest poison glands on their backs. Some day, I hope to have a female one as a pet. Male frogs and toads make noise and although you may not mind the noise or even love the noises, it can be annoying if they do it while you try to sleep and keep waking you up. They don't grow out of making noises.
Me likey. Sorry, the straight line was already taken. Hey, uh, what's that luscious green plant in the background?
Awesome episode (avoiding the puns). It was interesting to see that Hank didn't know toads could be poisonous, but then, I live in Australia and every kid learn about cane toads and how they spray dogs and people and kill native wildlife.
Kind of reminds me of siphonophore organisms such as the Man O' War jellies. They'd be the animal version...
i want to know if lichen & mosses are parasitic or symbiotic with trees? do they gain water or nutrients from the trees? or just live on them & gain it from rain & their
own detritus rotting to make a kind of soil on the bark? ive noticed small branches on many trees are dead & covered in lichen & mosses.. are they just growing more
after the branch died of some other reason or did they cause the death of the branch by starving its leaves for water & nutrients?
I was pretty meh about this subject... up until that super amazing color change that is!!!
I'm lichen this!
in what way does the fungus make the algae safe from predation?
Can they stay dormant forever? And if so, are they technically still alive?
well, define "forever"
Presumably eventually they'd just be so modified in dormant state without the ability to repair minor damage that they would cease being able to revive. But that could perhaps take thousands of years. In all likelihood in that time frame their habitat will have changed too much or some critter would have passed by and consumed them before they'd actually have reached this state of decay.
But that's entirely a guess.
The frog was cool, but I was way more into the Lichen talk with Toby Spribille
I want that guys shirt
Fun fact about bull frogs. They are part of their own food chain. Like everywhere all the time. They literally eat anything that fits in their their mouth and is unfortunate enough to walk in front of them. She really sort of humanized that frog lol. They are more machine and reflex than anything.
As i was typing that comment she mentioned that they will eat their own offspring. But its even less romantic irl than she made it sound lol.
I see Thing Explainer on the shelf. That's a great fucking book.
I'm liken this video.
I feel so bad for frog. I hope she has a much better habitat at home.
hahaha when the dad feels a bit tired and feels like he hasnt enough energy, he just snacks on a couple of them xD dont kill the junglings
Stop With The LIKE Pun !
FINE I PRESS THE LIKE BUTTON. Happy Now ?
I love Lichen. It is a cool little guy.
Lichen got him to a lot of places. I'm wondering if he is lichen all the placed lichen has taken him.
im sure you knew most of this, thank you for playing ignorant for us Hank!
It's a countable noun with an irregular plural, like euro. 1 euro, 2 euro. 1 lichen, 2 lichen. It ends in "en" which is an anglo-saxon plural (like children) so it sounds odd to say lichens .
bull frog? thats an odd name. I'd have called them chazzwazzers.
So lichen is like coral, both use symbiotic relationship to survive and both are single cell community.
are the waythose plants behave where the idea of lycans (Werewolves) come from.
Any relation to Lichenthropy?
you should make a podcast
