I'm so happy and proud this kind of content is going mainstream. We're on our way to understand that everything is connected on this planet (and beyond, probably).
well if our understanding is currently barely on a molecular scale but then we have the uncertainty principal and know that an observer collapses the wave function of uncertain particles....beyond is an understatement.
@@mattchenard591 the wave function collapse is less about a conscious observer and more so about measurements, the wave function will collapse if it comes in contact with something that would allow it to be measured at any point in the future, this means that no conscious observer needs to witness the wave function for it to collapse as long as the wave function came in contact with an object and leaves an impression that could somehow be used to measure it in the future (at least from my understanding)
This was so satisfying to watch. To see compassionate professionals from different, seemingly unrelated fields, studying hands on togetha, is such a breath of fresh air. They're learning from the best🌍❤so very gratuitous🙏for the documentry too. Well done👏👏👏

I tried composting used motor oil some years ago - I mixed about a quart of oil with plenty of fine Douglas Fir sawdust. Then I inoculated it with finished compost from an ordinary kitchen compost heap and inoculated it with soil from the forest floor. It was covered and allowed to sit for a year with occasional stirring - very much what they did in this video on a micro scale. I was surprised that it worked, after a year the oil was gone! The caveat is you have to have the space, and I'd prefer everyone recycle their motor oil - some types have toxic additives, and the more that gets recycled the less new oil has to be extracted, but it taught me how resilient soils can be if they're treated properly. Our forests are a miraculous ecology from deep underground to the tops of the trees.....looks like these guys are developing some fantastic tools for bioremediation. Thanks you all!
Nice experiment. I do not think that recycling oil is going to reduce the quantity of oil extracted, they will continue to extract it until they no longer can from any particular location. It is almost literally like pulling money out of nothing.
Nice word -- 'bioremediation' (my definition guess: fixing what prior humans have messed up for better or for worse). The next step would be for humanity to get a clue...
@@mik212who7 I imagine it would be a prion-based disease. Prions are simply misfolded proteins that are particularly persistent in the environment. Would probably present itself as a lack of vigorous mycelial growth, but might present some funky-looking fruiting bodies, if it can go that far. Who knows? It does sound like a weird project, though. Might have some scientific implications for study in a lab setting.
I think it's beautiful, the way it is white and furry and then seems to 'flower' like baby's breath as it deals with toxic soil and goes on to leave it clean enough for earthworms and more sensitive fungi to grow ❤ thanks for this wonderful documentary😊
The thumbnail drew me in after I had just finished watching Ze Frank's video on slime mold. I was captivated throughout this documentary and got smacked by what scientists have achieved so far. Thanks for getting me started down the rabbit hole!
The quality of this video is incredible. Before, this type of video could only be seen on the "B" channels of the two channels that were previously broadcast in Spain. Unfortunately, the "level" of current programming leaves much to be desired. These types of documentaries should be mandatory in children's homework at the end of secondary school, for the good of humanity. Thanks to ARTE for this essential video and to TH-cam for translating it and to Google's artificial intelligence that brought me here.
It is a part of Nature's presentation. It is not only about how human can utilize value of fungi, but it is also important just to know Nature's miracle power.
I'm growing some mushrooms at home, it's so cool to watch the whole process over time. From the mycelium spreading to the exudate forming into primordia then pins and finally watching them bloom into full mushrooms. The mycelium looks and smells wonderful
Don't be too hard on humans. They are the supreme problem solvers of the universe. Sure, they do not think that way yet and are screwing things up, but I have a positive outlook (based on a philosophy that deals with Broader Survival)...

24:44 It might seem paradoxical that a plant would willingly agree to be invaded by a fungus. But in symbiosis, not only does the plant not discourage the intruder, it actually rolls out the red carpet for it. It lets the threads worm their way into the center of the root cells, creating highly ramified structures called arbuscules. Both partners have a vital interest in this close relationship, because this greatly enlarged interface is where the plant trades the sugars from photosynthesis for the minerals and water the fungus has mined from deep down in the soil. That makes me oddly happy
I wonder if there is some way of it to be compatible for mammals... Perhaps in several billions of years more evolution? Or much shorter with "directed" evolution...
Ah, I love the results of most of the research everyone's been doing on fungi as of late, you can already see the effects of it splintering though agricultural strategies. (Like leaf mold, and KNF.) I have heavy gratitude for all of the people that did the work to get those results.
The problem with human built networks is that we like direct connections made with as few resources and at the cheapest financial cost. Clearly, this is not what mycelium is concerned with. But definitely what holds us back from true greatness.
Any system or business network optimized purely for profits eventually fails in some way. Fungi have optimized purely for survival first while still being profitable by growing and expanding successfully.
Humans and fungi actually both use the same method of network growth, its just on a different scale. This network building is born from entropy. Just look at a map of the USA with roads only, add in all the other network systems and you'll see the earth is covered in our connections exactly like any other entropy born network system.
La inteligencia fúngica es un ejemplo de comunicación con el entorno, debiéramos aprender más de esto para aplicarlo en nuestra cotidianidad simbiótica social
Yes, very much so. Well said. Somehow it feels like we need to evolve to another level, though, in order to apply these ideas. At the moment it's all driven by consumer attraction, distraction, and dependency.
Back n the '90s, when i still lived in Alaska, i used to listen to Art Bell on the radio. More than once Art interviewed Dr. Stammets as well as Terrence Mckenna. Dr. Stammets was very fascinating! Thank you for this programme!😊
Stamets is not a doctor. The highest degree he has is a bachelor's. He's nothing more than a, sometimes, well-spoken, charismatic, capitalist, fan of fungi.
Brilliant stuff. Also, importantly, brilliant original soundtrack! Thanks for going fown this path with the music - heightens the documentary on so many levels!
I will always find it frustratingly fascinating how there are people who genuinely care about this only planet, home, we have and want to take care of it in the present as well as in the future for our generations to come. And then there are the greedy, scumbags who look past anything that doesn’t involve making profit out of something, even at the expense of our planet’s well-being. All for the sake of money.
What a tight, yet smooth documentary. Well scripted, good soundtrack (bar a few minutes in the middle), and a great balance of information and intrigue creation. I watched a number of TED type talks on the subject matter, a while back; but the content was either too dense for me, or irritatingly gushing ( for a middle aged bloke). I watched this without losing focus, and am left with lots of new areas to explore. So my gratitude and sincere thanks to the crew, and the wonderful people - the common thread was that all had that glint in their eyes, that living adults managed to retain and father time hasn't dulled. Truly breath-taking.... Now who the hell stole my blunt - and please can you give it back?
I have a large terrarium, and every time I buy a box of mushrooms I toss an extra one in. They don't fruit, but I love watching the mycelium spread through the soil. I can see it from the bottom and sides of the enclosure. I've had this terrarium for over a year, and I've never added any form of fertilizer.
Absolutely beautiful. The production quality had to be beautiful to express the purity of this research and to highlight the beauty of the vocabulary of everyone who's passionately a part of it.
Los hongos y el reino fungi me fascinaron desde siempre. Otra cosa que me asombra es el poder de algunos líquenes para poder crear suelo a partir de las rocas. Me facino este documental 😍
10:40 This person was born this way, he was born to have this beard and to wear this particular helmet and to do this job, because i can't imagine anybody else being like this. He is the perfect man for this. I mean, this is his life, his dedication!
Protecting Life is always the answer. All human endeavor costs Life. Not money, not labor, not resources. Life is the base currency. Life costs Life. It's that simple.
Thank you for the effort of exploring the fungi for cleaning up the environment. Well done my dear friends and keep it up. You will be rewarded by God.
What a great documentary! Great to see the scientists looking at nature to use its wisdom. Great documentary cause it was informative and entertaining. I’ve watched every minute of it in awe.
Research must be expanded greatly to explore,learn and apply the vast possibilities with-in the wondrous galaxies of the fungal realm right here on terra firma.our planet can lierally be fully rehabilitated and continue as a healthy home for all species
I'm very concerned about human fungal infections and study this branch of medicine with great interest. Just Candida infections raise an alarm for preventing more serious infections.
Los hongos pueden hacer por ejemplo que cuando no hay lluvia no consmen nada de agua, y cuando llueve mucho y se mantiene mucho tiempo el suelo mojado el hongo es capaz de aprovechar ese momento para crecer y reproducirse gastando así toda el agua sobrante, y así la planta o el arbol pueda volver a oxigenar las raices. Que de otro modo quedaría la planta sin poder respirar y moriría. En ese aspecto hace una simbiosis perfecta, pero también parece que bajo condiciones de huerta el hongo cuando produce la seta consume muchos nutrientes haciendo que la planta no los pueda absorber, no la matará porque depende de ella pero tampoco la dejará crecer a su máximo esplendor. Aunque dependiendo del tipo de hongo que sea saprófitos parasitos pueden tener una repercusión, también supongo que cada planta tendra su hongo favorito con el que se relaciona mejor.
Just want to share a story from someone (he's a chemist). Probably decades ago, some foreign scientist randomly visited my country collecting samples from landfills, dirty ponds, polluted soils, and any disgusting places you could imagine. Nobody bats an eye or even remotely interested in what they're doing that time. Until those scientist gets home to their lab in their country and produces various enzimes from those samples. Only then everyone in the field here is furiously trying to demand to have the shares of those enzimes when they realize the profitable prospects. We desperately need the antidote for poison called "Greed".
What point are you trying to make with this comment? It's not articulate or clear, but if you're trying to be negative about these scientists in the doco, I feel quite sorry for you.
Breathtakingly wonderful. As I get older and understand more of nature I am evermore ashamed of being human as I see so much of the bad stuff humans do , in so many ways. but this looks like it is work to be proud of.
We had wildfires 3 years ago, and now they are taking the trees and "Sweeping" the forest, killing the ferns and spores, causing desertification to excel. It's horrible, dry, and hot in the forest here now. We can't drive around under the trees to cool off anymore. This is Northern California, around Westwood and Chester. Lake Almanore area. It should be cool here.
Super enlightening information, very well presented. Fungi and mycelia represents the next step in human relationship to Nature, the link to simbiosis with life. Go fungi! Thanks for this documentary
I don't know how he sees himself, but, to my mind and heart, this Mycologist Paul Stamets is among the Humans on the very highest levels of God-realization on Earth (Earth = Heart).
Fantastic information! 🤩Paul Stamets has been on the cutting edge of Fungi for over 40 years. 😉 The Vast Fungi Kingdom keeps amazing us Mycologists🤗 It's not just penicillin any more...😆
I worked on an organic vegetable farm and I became convinced that fungi were the single most important factor involved in the bumper crops from what are rather frugal additions of animal manure. Breaking down the manure and releasing the important substances that plants require, as opposed to the forced growth from manufactured fertiliser.
Why anthropomorphize. Why make it male or female, WHY NOT CALL IT, "THE CREATOR" if it really needs to be AN ENTITY? Maybe the writers of those days (and the readers or listeners) didn't have the words, or language to speak of an existence, or being part of THE EXISTENCE or the side of a large elephant... TOUCH THE WALL??? Is it grey? Is it warm? Is it smooth or rough? People then, even now, ARE SO LIMITED. I'm so, so tired. And so bored. The future is so dimly lit!
This is the answer to most of Earth's enviromental issues. If the big oil companies just resolved themselves to making useful things other than chemicals, we might be able to get on the road to recovery with these magnificent fungi on our side.
Everything is a chemical. The mycologists studying fungi are studying chemicals. The woman who was developing lipase enzymes was developing chemicals. It's a neutral umbrella term for any thing made of atoms.
@@prophecyrat2965 The vast majority of an oil company's product are cocktails of organic molecules such as gasoline, jet fuel/diesel, lubricating oils of various weight, propane, even tar for the roads. They simply filter the various things out of the natural gas and crude oil, sort them into barrels and pipelines and then sell them to the highest bidders. Other companies buy these to use them as building blocks for synthetic molecules like plastics, pesticides, refrigerants, and pharmaceuticals. Natural gas wells also yield some inorganic chemicals such as helium which can also be collected and sold.
5:34 Y'know, if I saw someone in the middle of the woods just, _inhaling_ clumps of dirt with a high-quality camera trained directly on him, I think I'd just turn around and leave without saying a word.
I'm so happy and proud this kind of content is going mainstream. We're on our way to understand that everything is connected on this planet (and beyond, probably).
well if our understanding is currently barely on a molecular scale but then we have the uncertainty principal and know that an observer collapses the wave function of uncertain particles....beyond is an understatement.
You sound like you're too connected to weed and disconected with the world. 1968 has been over for a long time.
Most people know it, the people in power just want us disconnected and distracted

Good research for damaged roads.
I loved watching this, thank you.
very interesting documentary about the undiscovered dark universe below our feet ... with a beautiful music score.
Thank you very much for an informative documentary 🎉
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho maravilhoso 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
This was a GREAT Watch. Always a treat to hear from Paul.
I worked on an organic vegetable farm and I became convinced that fungi were the single most important factor involved in the bumper crops from what are rather frugal additions of animal manure.
Breaking down the manure and releasing the important substances that plants require, as opposed to the forced growth from manufactured fertiliser.
Ate shrooms back in the 90's I'm still here ❤ good stuff great experience 💪
Mine was the 70s, still here 😊
That's so cool - fungi grow out, branching on paths of lichtenberg lines! 🤯

Beautiful work .
what a beautiful documentation. Thank you.
But why is an ARTE production in English?
This documentary is amazing❤
Bravo! Marvelous information.
Wonderful, mycelium is the answer.
....is AN answer...there are many others, thank goodness.
People are so easy to overvalue and overhype anything they come across that sounds or looks cool.
Mycelium is within everything.All encompassing and forever young.
Mind-blowing documentary❤
Que bueno difundir cultura es pura gloria divina Venezuela los ama y este único y hermoso planeta 🌎🇻🇪☮️
¡Bienvenidos Venezolanos!
Beautiful. Simply Beautiful.
These people are really and sincerely doing God's work on Earth.
Yes and/or the goddess!
Why anthropomorphize. Why make it male or female, WHY NOT CALL IT, "THE CREATOR" if it really needs to be AN ENTITY? Maybe the writers of those days (and the readers or listeners) didn't have the words, or language to speak of an existence, or being part of THE EXISTENCE or the side of a large elephant... TOUCH THE WALL??? Is it grey? Is it warm? Is it smooth or rough?
People then, even now, ARE SO LIMITED. I'm so, so tired. And so bored. The future is so dimly lit!
A fungal approach to power distribution in a hardened renewable grid would be genius 😮
This is the answer to most of Earth's enviromental issues. If the big oil companies just resolved themselves to making useful things other than chemicals, we might be able to get on the road to recovery with these magnificent fungi on our side.
Everything is a chemical. The mycologists studying fungi are studying chemicals. The woman who was developing lipase enzymes was developing chemicals. It's a neutral umbrella term for any thing made of atoms.
@@crimson4066organic vs industrial
@@prophecyrat2965 The vast majority of an oil company's product are cocktails of organic molecules such as gasoline, jet fuel/diesel, lubricating oils of various weight, propane, even tar for the roads. They simply filter the various things out of the natural gas and crude oil, sort them into barrels and pipelines and then sell them to the highest bidders. Other companies buy these to use them as building blocks for synthetic molecules like plastics, pesticides, refrigerants, and pharmaceuticals.
Natural gas wells also yield some inorganic chemicals such as helium which can also be collected and sold.
Thank you for this inspirational and informative, video!
This world must look so beautiful a couple hundred years ago before humans ruined it
This was an enlightening watch, thanks so much! So excited to check the rest of this channel out.
5:34 Y'know, if I saw someone in the middle of the woods just, _inhaling_ clumps of dirt with a high-quality camera trained directly on him, I think I'd just turn around and leave without saying a word.
Yes, that would be the polite thing to do.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful information and music. 🙏
