I want to thank you so much for this series and all that you do. I'm an amateur mycologist, and you've provided an incredible resource. Thanks professor Dave!
Mushroom identification terminology? More like "Man, this is interesting and has gotta be" one of the most amazing playlists on an educational topic that I have ever seen. I don't even consider myself that interested in mushrooms, but I've been fascinated by each and every video and piece of information!
So good! At times it feels like the video goes a bit fast. I find myself pausing every 7 seconds or so to finish writing down notes. This reads like a high level mycology textbook. I consider myself a textbook connoisseur (the gold standard being Marc Loudon's organic chemistry textbook ;) and this is genuinely brilliant work. I was always sad I never took a mycology course in college and this is scratching an itch I've had for years. Thank you so much for the amazing free content.
I really hope you will add more videos to this playlist. I love learning about the details in mycology and there are few if any videos that come close in quality to yours.
5:03 Aside from these common smells of mushrooms, there are some rarer mushroom smells that i know of, some of those include but are not limited to: Goat Flour Earth Garlic
Not really; there are many things to look out for just because many mushrooms-- both edible, inedible, and poisonous--can possess these traits. However none of these can reliably identify a poisonous mushroom. For instance, an old wives' tale says to avoid anything brightly colored; however many choice edible mushrooms are brightly colored: Caesar's amanita, some Russula spp., Saffron milkcap etc. So you should just know some poisonous mushrooms (Jack o' lantern, death cap, destroying angel etc.) to look out for and never eat anything you are uncertain of.
Great explanations Prof Dave. Will share this to our fungi pages. As well as incredibly informative it is brilliant for people who are collecting and describing specimens.
I live in Finland. We have a very hard fungi (like stone) that grows on stumps or trees; they might be bracket fungi. Would they be classified as a mushroom?
Hello Professor Dave, sorry if I ask a lot of questions and I’m still new to this channel but could you please tell me the sciences that you plan to cover in the future because I’m tryna find some online sources for science.
You should consider creating a video on lichens. Just one beautiful feature of lichens is the symbiotic relationship that is necessary for its existence and proliferation.

Just binged this series as I’m currently hyperfixating on mushrooms and Ive loved learning all of these things
"Radish, chlorine, almond, **DECAYING FLESH**, banana, ..."
what does hot metal smell like
HOT METAL
I feel very educated on mushrooms right now
This can be changed to something illegal with one comma
I feel very educated, on mushrooms right now
me too :^)

I just re-watched the whole series so now I am ready for the new content. Thanks so much for all you do!

Yes sorry for the delay, the writer had to pause to study for the MCAT. More coming soon!
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Wow, that was quick. Thank you for the reply! Really looking forward to future uploads!

How is "earth" a "rare mushroom smell"? The go-to scent description that people use to describe mushrooms is "earthy"!
This series is still going right!? Also can I request that you label the species of fungi when you have pictures of them? Thanks for everything you do
picking it back up soon!
This brings back fond memories!
I absolutely love eating mushrooms. One of my favorites are chanterelles, which smell of peaches.
My favorite is oyster mushrooms. Cooking with mushrooms has started my interest in the study of fungi
You are fkkkin amazing, you are single handedly supporting me get through my chemistry degree and also further educating me on my love for foraging
I would listen to this man talk about anything tbh
Waiting on this series to continue!
Very soon, new scripts being written right now!
@@ProfessorDaveExplains I grew a beard
Great stuff, Professor Dave! Quick question: Are there any readily identifiable and/or common traits among poisonous mushrooms?
white gills should be avoided unless you're 100% sure it's an edible species(none of which i can think of that have white gills)

@@graysenlee950 Don't eat anything I can't positively identify as edible. Got it! ;-)
I am very much engaged in this type of content, please make more of these

Dave, I love your videos! Keep up the good work my friend.
One day I’ll impress someone with this awesome knowledge. :D
very informative, thanks so much

Love from india (thanks)
Such a amazing video on morphology
thank you so much ! please do a video about radial distribution functions in chemistry !
Are there going to be more videos about mycology uploaded? I really appreciate the videos and they are so helpful, thank you for making it so easy.
Yep this will continue soon!
I heard some of these mushrooms are magical.
I live in Finland. We have a very hard fungi (like stone) that grows on stumps or trees; they might be bracket fungi. Would they be classified as a mushroom?
The polypores (or bracket fungi) have one thing in common - they have tubes underneath. And yes - they are mushrooms.

Ok 👍

I use this channel as a source for science now

That'll get covered at some point!
Only mushroom I could recognise before watching these was of the magic kind. (" Psilocybe semilanceata ") Things grow everywhere here in autumn.
Infundibulifoem. What a fun word
When is the Antivax debunk video going to be made public?
a week from friday
@@ProfessorDaveExplains
I cannot wait!
Excited to see that. One of the best presenters that does great with voice/charts/data; thanks!
Yes
There are 12 videos in this series, but the list says that 6 are hidden. Is this on purpose? I’d love to see the rest.
They will be released soon!
Clear
any updates on this series?
Sorry for the delay, will pick it back up soon!
Morels are cool
Question: how do mushrooms consume water and nutrients?
Filamentous cells called hyphae which compose the organism, mycelium (fungal roots). Plus mycorrhizae combine with plant roots
no oyster mushrooms covered 0/10 :P just kidding loved the series
Decaying flesh placed on the smell list like an analog horror 😭
Now I want a 🔬
It's a fact that you CAN eat any mushroom.
Once.
I'm not saying you are ugly, I'm saying you are "infundibuliform"!
There are mushrooms that can be spicy?! 🔥 🤯
let's go sniff shrooms 😃👍
You should see the notes I took!
Sakkath maccha ****

Yea this video was interesting and i have uploded a video on hydrological cycle if u have interest in nature watch it and enjoy the video thank u😁
eat one and you will find out which spices that mushroom was.
Sniffing mushrooms? Is that even safe? 🤔😧
