Aspiring mycologist here! A neat fungus fact that was recently discovered is that mushrooms can sometimes control the rain! For a basic summary, by releasing billions of spores high into the air, they pass through clouds, interacting with so many water vapour particles at once that it causes a chain reaction where it begins to rain! There's a lot more science behind it than that, but scientists are trying to harness that ability so that we can start controlling rain! How cool would that be?
Wait this is really cool- I also heard there’s a type of mushroom that can break down plastic which is nutty. I feel like it could be insanely useful but they have really particular living conditions- Thank you for your fun fact :)

There is one type of mushroom that can technically hunt. I forget the fine details, but it makes a snare big enough for a nematode to get in, and once one goes through the loop, the loop activates and kills it, then chemically dissolves the body so the hypae can absorb the nutrients
Hello!! Microbiologist here to help fill in the fine details!! Youre talking about a fungi with spores that go by the name of Arthrobotrys! They lure in the nematode in with chemically released signals to get it entangled within its webbing of hyphae, cinch it with localized cells which then penetrate and kill the nematode, essentially sucking it of nutrients and then growing through it too
AsI remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with bipolar. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 4years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing!
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source. 🙏
when you mentioned honey mushrooms being the biggest living thing on the planet, I thought about Pando, the tree forest that is all one connected tree, technically one organism, which I had heard was the biggest living thing. some googling and some math later, I learned that Pando weighs about 6500 metric tons. I still don't know which is bigger, they both have the same large number!
There have been reported colonies of other types of fungi that apparently have over 500 cubic acres in size! It's not a honey mushroom I don't think, but that is immensely big, like unfathomably big.
Here's a fun fact: at least the last time I checked, there were only two or three mycologists (mushroom scientists) in Australia. Which is a shame because Australia's gotta have some really weird mushrooms and I'd love to know more about them.
@@holymolyiahteingpvz I have heard there is an Australian mushroom known as pixie's parasol. It is small and blue and very pretty, but not much is known about it from a scientific standpoint because the 2 or 3 Australian mycologists haven't gotten there yet. Edit: I was wrong about the common name.
I have been mostly sad but after taking shrooms few months ago, l feel much happier and highly motivated and my ADHD gone , lost a ton of anxiousness and had a few epiphanies about how I should live my life. I decided to buy an ounce for backup, but haven’t yet felt the need to take any more since then.
All I can say is Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues. Anxiety and depression. Likely to be the most profound experience a human can have in life time.
Fun fact about mushrooms: there is a type of mushroom found in Scandinavia and it looks like a very average mushroom. But it has hallucinogenic qualities to it that may have numbed your ability to feel pain. So way back when Vikings were around they fed these to special warriors, beloved to be chosen by Odin, to essentially not care that they were bleeding in seven spots and have several arrows in them since they couldn’t feel the pain. And then they died. To Valhalla
My favorite fungi fact: there's a type of mold only found under Chernobyl that feeds off the radiated melted waste from the disaster, thus making it less radioactive. Also, that waste (melted remains of the reactor in the basement) goes by the name "The Elephant's Foot" (not a fungus) and to say it will kill you is an understatement, since it can give you a massively lethal dose of radiation poisoning.
Actually, the lethality of the Elephant’s foot has decreased since the meltdown. At the time of its discovery (9 months after the meltodown), it was indeed very lethal. In the 34 years since then, the lethality has decreased. It is still lethal with prolonged exposure, but it won’t kill you in a few seconds.
As an artist and someone whose brother grew mushrooms in our living room in a tin foil wrapped lookin box and is currently going to college to study mycology, this video appeals to me quite nicely.
I love foraging, no matter if its mushrooms, plants, or nuts. Mushrooms are really cool! The amount of diversity is insane, from fly agaric that inspired the mushroom in mario, to the best and tasty morels, they are all super unique and beautiful in their own way. They are also one of my favorite things to practice drawing! When foraging, make sure to take in account if that mushroom, or plant has any poisonous like-alikes, even if its something your familiar with! Such as the potato, which is related to nightshade. If eaten when it is too ripe, or after its prime can cause sickness. For more information, I suggest reading one of Thomas J. Epel's books, like foraging in the mountain west, which covers plants, animals, nuts, and mushrooms!
The ant killing fungus is actually called Cordyceps, and it does everything that GP says it does in the video. Sometimes, even other ants have to bring the "infected" ant away from the colony to prevent the cordyceps from spreading! It is my favorite fungus because it's so interesting.
There's also multiple varieties of it to infect various other insects and sometimes fungi. 600 currently known. So the ant isn't the only insect that has to worry about them.
Some cordyceps species evolve to infect certain species of insects! The girl with all the gifts is a great book that uses cordyceps zombies. I highly recommend reading it!
Moral of the story: If you are starving, never eat a mushroom Eat flowers, pine buds, the soft bit of the bark of a tree, but do NOT eat a mushroom, because sometimes even if it looks like a good mushroom it may have fucked a bad mushroom and you are suddenly hostage in mushroom basement and the mushroom police won't find you.
Then you have those weird mushrooms who like to dress up in bright & bold frightening colours, but you get to know them & realize that they're name is Michael & they host potlucks every saturday with their neighbours. You keep going to the potlucks for like a decade, but then one day all the food is poisoned! It turns out Michael died 6 months ago & this is Bichael, a mushroom who looks exactly like Michael but with a criminal record & completely different relatives.
yeah like, the deadliest mushroom out there looks like many many other harmless mushrooms. it can be hard to know if a mushroom is safe or not just by looking at it especially if you don't know that much about fungi
I think the zombie fungus is so interesting! It’s cool that it’s somehow able to take control of the ants. There’s an Amphibia episode called children of the spore that has this concept and I’d recommend checking it out if you’re interested
I honestly like the inky cap mushrooms, they're actually edible and perfectly healthy. Just don't eat them with alcohol it can most definitely give you a slow and very painful death.
NOT MAGPIE INKCAPS THO! Shaggys and commons are fine (no alcohol with commons for around three days afterward) BUT DONT EAT MAGPIE INKCAPS, not gonna be a fun time
The alcohol consumption rule is pretty safe when it come to ink caps, but in fact the only ink cap that has a bad reaction with alcohol is the micah cap Edit: Learn Your Land has a great video on the topic
@@Captain.Mystic I mean it's probably safer than the stinky green pool you found the mushrooms next to, given the choice of getting smashed or getting cholera I know which I'd take. Clean water is actually one of the most important points of any survival checklist but strong spirit alcohols are usually included in survival kits for a few reasons; they're natural disinfectants so useful for cleaning wounds, tools or even as part of your drinking water processing, they also keep better than plain water so if you can't source clean water old bottles of hard spirits will at least keep you happy while you die.
0:37 my heart skipped a beat when I heard this bloody hell lmao Being someone who makes videos related to the game and is a major part of the My Singing Monsters community, hearing a big youtuber get sponsored by them is really surreal
PSA: Do _not_ under any circumstance try to forage mushrooms without professional guidance. And by that I mean someone walking right there with you and helping you identify what you picked. Foraging books are not a substitute for expert opinion and everything you pick is potentially deadly.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.imagine carrving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone.Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues
Please does anyone know where I can get them? I put so much on my plate and it really affects my stress and anxiety level .I would love to try to shrooms.
As someone who's been following My Singing Monsters since it first came out, the fact that they sponsored you and you got into it made me so unreasonably happy omg-- MSM needs love!!! ^^
holy shit i never thought i'd be hyped for a sponsorship. msm is literally one of my fave mobile games, its so sweet and cute and wholesome and scrungly. and it's on a video about mycology, which i fucking adore so so much and wish other people understood. gingerpale, you have captured my heart and my smash of a like button.
@@tetraploid5000 what i mean is in the situation it's a game or smth, people often just show brief clips of gameplay, or they somewhat oversimplify drawings of the game, whereas he actually drew proper things
@danielbrown776 Psilocybin containing mushrooms grow all over the world, check for your country and read up on the ones that grow nearby and any lookalikes, after a bit of study, you can pick your own, no dodgy dealings needed 💚
Also, to anyone thinking Mr Winston is reliable, these are very likely bot accounts, always be careful in this space online and don't do anything you wouldn't normally do without considering common sense first. Be safe everyone :)
@@Duccy86 You are completely wrong these aren't likely bot accounts they ARE bot accounts I think they figured out this video was about mushrooms so the bots fired this type of spam/scam
A general fact about mushrooms, some like to be eaten and are actually colored so they’d be easier to spot but at the same time some of them are poisoness and easy to spot for exactly the opposite reason (but some how at the same time not). Basically, poisoness mushrooms can be appealing to some insects like snails while the very lovely yellow colored chantarelle is edible to us humans and very delightful. (Im no expert though, I remember this from a nature documentary about mushrooms when I was young).
Yup! I eat them decently often! But there is a mushroom that looks really similar but poisonous. Same colour, same size, same shape. But poisonous. The only way I can define it is "slightly" rippled. But yeah, be careful out there! Even if you think you know what you are eating, you might not!
Never in my life would I have ever thought that my favorite game would ever sponsor someone, let alone Gingerpale, but I am very happy that it happened
I like mushrooms, they are very cool Fun fact! Trees use the mushrooms mycelium to communicate. Example, if a tree is under attacks from let’s say ash dieback, the surrounding trees can pick up the distress signals from the under attack tree and produce more chemicals and stuff for fighting off the infection. It’s very cool
I’ve heard many good things about psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms and their health benefits, I also heard it helps one get through addiction and depression. I’m just wondering where I can get my hands on them cause I’ll love to give it a try. I’m passing through a state of terrible depression lately.
I've actually had the chicken of the woods mushroom and surprisingly it does taste a lot like chicken. Also, it's cool to see you make a video about mushrooms because Mycology is one of my favorite studies.
Similar to the chicken of the woods mushroom there is also the oyster of the woods mushroom and elephant of the woods mushroom which is some of my favorites.
I never expected a MSM sponsorship but here we are! It’s literally my one of my top 5 favorite games ever and it has a special place in my heart. Ghazts are my favorite
The zombie fungus is so existentially horrifying that I’ve repressed my knowledge of it, like, five times over the course of my life. But the world just keeps on forcing me to remember.
I know someone pointed out zombie fungus, so I’m gonna talk about: Doctors tried to make medication to exclusively get rid of fungi in the body, namely blood/certain organs- but it didn’t work. No, the medicine that they were able to make ended up eating/breaking down your bodies cells, making it harmful to get rid of internal fungi. So they don’t sell it/prescribe it. Fungi has to be removed through alternative means (I think the main one is literally surgery/cutting it out OR fighting it off with help with steroids). There are certain diseases that also have to be removed this way (including cancer). There are certain medications to get rid of fungi in the nails, (most) layers of skin, butt hole, the uterus, ears, nose, mouth, and the eyes. (If more internal, be prepared to fight) So, yeah. There is medicine to get rid of most parasites and bacteria and to help build resistance to certain viruses, but not to get rid of mold in certain places. Be careful out there!
It's really interesting how fungal cells are so similar to mammal cells that a medicine to kill the former ends up killing the latter as well. I think I heard somewhere that some fungi are so similar to us biologically that eating them makes us sick because it triggers our body's anti-cannibalistic response.
0:39 When I saw that you were sponsoring My Singing Monsters,my Jaw Dropped to the floor,like I was not expecting that,also I like the designs of your monsters.
So glad that mushroom mania has gripped you too, Ginger. It’s prime mushroom season here in Australia right now and I’ve been on three mushroom hunts in my local area (hunts only to observe mushrooms and make neat lil spore prints, I’m still learning about what could potentially be eaten dw) and it’s been awesome!! Found so many cool things and some stuff that I couldn’t find any sources on. I know Australia’s mushroom scene is very under documented but I swear, this is just ridiculous
Australia has a MUSHROOM SEASON?! That sounds so cool! Here in Michigan, we just have Winter, Mud, Traffic Cone Migration Season, and then Kinda Cold But Not Really Winter Yet
Can you please continue these videos? I really like them. I have some ideas dea for a few videos! The history of school, music, why do we like sweetness, and the history of farms. You could also add the captions that are planed such as the "The History of Soda" video. I was waiting for a new video to come out and I checked how long ago this was posted and I realized it was a year ago and it was the most recent one.
My singing monsters is such a great og mobile game, bro. Glad to see they’re doing well enough to sponsor big deal TH-camrs like you!!! Edit: changed “get sponsored by” to “sponsor” (thanks @entity for the correction)

@@Splinkus2 I haven't been on it for awhile, but from what I remember I believe first you go to the icon on the bottom right that says "friends" and there could be a thing where you enter in a code. Or it will be in either the settings icon or the mail icon.
If anyone's watching this right now and was thinking of getting MSM, Eggstravaganza just started and its additions this year are -lots of new costumes -the permanent water island skin -rare hippityhop on Faerie island On top of that, Blabbit is currently available on Water Island.
You can actually see some organisms from the other kingdoms with your bare eyes slime molds are actually part of the Protista kingdom and are incredible
Another neat food related fungus is Aspergillus oryzae- the main fungus in the substance known as Koji. Koji is involved in making several different items, like miso and vinegar, but can also be used as a meat marinade or in an amino paste. The world of fungi is as mysterious as it is fascinating, and the very fact that we know so little about it and yet see such potential makes it very exciting to work with.

Im just dropping here to say thank you to @gingerpale Your videos have helped me through a bunch bro your voice and videos are so wholesome thank u bro
I’ve never seen My Singing Monsters sponsor a video, very cool! I’ve been playing that game for years and am pretty active in the community, especially on Fandom wiki. I really appreciate the animation you did for it :D (Oh and the main vid about mushrooms was great too)
Aaa for years my dad has went out foraging for morel mushrooms when they pop up! He cooks them and uses this super delicious melted raspberry jam to dip them in and it’s awesome!! I picked them with him one year. He hasn’t been able to do it for the past few years due to his damaged arm but next year when they pop up in our area again me and him are going to go out and pick some again! I miss it, morel mushrooms are awesome.
The question about which mushroom to eat ... mushrooms dont have glucose, therefore are not gonna to fill you up, they are eaten to improve your gut as it helps your body break things down, Bacically youd be better off tryna eat the tree.
Fun fact: the Protist kingdom does actually have some members that are visible without a microscope. It’s the catch-all kingdom for all eukaryotes that aren’t already plants, animals, or fungi. It includes slime molds and algae, and because kelp is a kind of algae, protists can be up to 150 feet long.
-Is Sponsored by My Singing Monsters -Has Louie Zong Baguette Bop Playing During the Sponsor Bit -Taught Me Everything About Mushrooms Now that is one good video.
Awesome video! I actually recently watched videos on Death caps and things like those. There really interesting. But the one big thing I was so excited about, was the My Singing Monsters sponsor. literally when you had the monster on screen, I did the exact notes when you did. Brings so much nostalgia and memories ahhhh.
I love mushrooms, they're great buddies! I like to grow shiitakes as a hobby, and it's the most rewarding thing. They're super easy to care for, and it's so exciting when their little pins start popping out! I dunno what you guys think, but if a person can't get crazy hype about growing a shiitake the size of their head, then we probably can't be friends. And they aren't invited to my tea parties.
Never eat wild mushrooms ever. Even if you think they look alright. So many wild toxic mushrooms look like the ones you get at the market. And even if eat one and make it to a hospital there is nothing they can do but try to make your last moment more comfortable.
You know, you have a better chance of eating a toxic plant then mushroom. Though there is a small risk to eating wild mushrooms, they most likely will not be deadly. And yes there are many ways to counter mushroom poisoning. The worst an average mushroom will probably do to you is make you a hell of a lot less comfortable. To your credit though, if you run into the deathcap or destroying angel of the ammanita family, there is a large chance you could die.
Foraging is fine... I'm not saying eat any old mushroom, but the whole rule of foraging is to only eat what you can positively identify as something edible.
I'm so blessed by the algorithm! I love mushrooms and hope I get to see more about mycelium on here. Really liked mycelium after having to do a report on it. That's so cool! I wanna visit the honey mushroom! Also your animations are so cute and adorable!
If you are curious, the other three kingdoms are Bacteria and Archaebacteria, single celled organisms without nucleuses, and Protista, which contains everything that doesn't fit into the other five kingdoms, mostly single-celled organisms.
Then there’s viruses, which don’t really fit into our current definition of life. They have the bare minimum to reproduce, and we aren’t even sure if they’re related to us

Feeding on nematodes evolved independently serveral times in fungi with over 100 species known. Some use sticky traps too.
Oyster mushrooms can do that but different species have different traps!
Ah nematophagous fungi! Theres so many of them, like shaggy manes, and wine caps!

I think the zombie fungus is so interesting! It’s cool that it’s somehow able to take control of the ants. There’s an Amphibia episode called children of the spore that has this concept and I’d recommend checking it out if you’re interested
oh yea! the episode with apoca...apocather...apoca...thery...
gary.
the episode with gary.
Ayyyyy Hello fellow Amphibia fan
That's what I thought of too! I bet that episode was inspired by that.
Ayyy another Amphibia fan
it's called cordyceps
I honestly like the inky cap mushrooms, they're actually edible and perfectly healthy. Just don't eat them with alcohol it can most definitely give you a slow and very painful death.
NOT MAGPIE INKCAPS THO! Shaggys and commons are fine (no alcohol with commons for around three days afterward) BUT DONT EAT MAGPIE INKCAPS, not gonna be a fun time
The alcohol consumption rule is pretty safe when it come to ink caps, but in fact the only ink cap that has a bad reaction with alcohol is the micah cap
Edit: Learn Your Land has a great video on the topic
Im not sure how ill find myself in a survival situation where im both completely out of food and at the same have enough rum to worry about this fact.
Shaggy mane/shaggy ink cap/lawyers wig aka coprinus comatus. I found one the other day for the first time ever!
@@Captain.Mystic I mean it's probably safer than the stinky green pool you found the mushrooms next to, given the choice of getting smashed or getting cholera I know which I'd take.
Clean water is actually one of the most important points of any survival checklist but strong spirit alcohols are usually included in survival kits for a few reasons; they're natural disinfectants so useful for cleaning wounds, tools or even as part of your drinking water processing, they also keep better than plain water so if you can't source clean water old bottles of hard spirits will at least keep you happy while you die.
It's good to know that every single mushroom's existence can be summed up in ~6 minutes of info. I bet mine would take at least 7
I'd probably take less than 2
I never would of thought I would see a my singing monsters ad in 2022 and gingerpale made it look so crisp!
i love msm monsters in gingy man's artstoole
Ik! I commented about it too before i even saw this comment!

Any ideas on how to enter the code
yeah, same. how do you redeem the code? Its probably easy on steam, but i only play on mobile, so we mobile players need to know.
@@esme______ actually no Idk, if I were to guess it'd be the referral code in the settings but I can't be sure
@@JakeTheDrake oh well that’s a little silly, most long time players can’t get the gift? unfortunate
PSA:
Do _not_ under any circumstance try to forage mushrooms without professional guidance. And by that I mean someone walking right there with you and helping you identify what you picked.
Foraging books are not a substitute for expert opinion and everything you pick is potentially deadly.
Yes^
eat all mushrooms
Nah you need to apply for a Kirby pass so that you can eat everything.
I will make sure to kidnap a mushroom scientist during the zombie apocalypse

Psychedelics definitely have potential to deal with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
As someone who's been following My Singing Monsters since it first came out, the fact that they sponsored you and you got into it made me so unreasonably happy omg-- MSM needs love!!! ^^
do you know how to codes?
Yeah same

yes
holy shit i never thought i'd be hyped for a sponsorship. msm is literally one of my fave mobile games, its so sweet and cute and wholesome and scrungly. and it's on a video about mycology, which i fucking adore so so much and wish other people understood. gingerpale, you have captured my heart and my smash of a like button.

@danielbrown776 Psilocybin containing mushrooms grow all over the world, check for your country and read up on the ones that grow nearby and any lookalikes, after a bit of study, you can pick your own, no dodgy dealings needed 💚
Also, to anyone thinking Mr Winston is reliable, these are very likely bot accounts, always be careful in this space online and don't do anything you wouldn't normally do without considering common sense first. Be safe everyone :)
@@Duccy86 You are completely wrong these aren't likely bot accounts they ARE bot accounts I think they figured out this video was about mushrooms so the bots fired this type of spam/scam

A general fact about mushrooms, some like to be eaten and are actually colored so they’d be easier to spot but at the same time some of them are poisoness and easy to spot for exactly the opposite reason (but some how at the same time not).
Basically, poisoness mushrooms can be appealing to some insects like snails while the very lovely yellow colored chantarelle is edible to us humans and very delightful. (Im no expert though, I remember this from a nature documentary about mushrooms when I was young).
Apparently chanterelles also have a distinct apricot-like odor
Don't forget that the ones that are hallucinogenic are technically poisonous, but it just fucks with the human brain rather than kill us
Amanita muscaria disagrees with this statement.
Yup! I eat them decently often! But there is a mushroom that looks really similar but poisonous. Same colour, same size, same shape. But poisonous. The only way I can define it is "slightly" rippled.
But yeah, be careful out there! Even if you think you know what you are eating, you might not!
5:36 the fact that it's like the 6th time I see this video and I only understood now the joke about the ants' names beginning with "ant"
Never in my life would I have ever thought that my favorite game would ever sponsor someone, let alone Gingerpale, but I am very happy that it happened
I tried using the code but it didnt seem to work, what it do?
Yep it is epic
@@twitchyeyess dunno it might be a referral code or something
yes very much happy
SAME
I like mushrooms, they are very cool
Fun fact! Trees use the mushrooms mycelium to communicate. Example, if a tree is under attacks from let’s say ash dieback, the surrounding trees can pick up the distress signals from the under attack tree and produce more chemicals and stuff for fighting off the infection. It’s very cool
4:22 I like that he was dying and wheezing then he just completes the sentence before dying
It's so great that My Singing Monsters sponsored you, barely anyone gets sponsored by them, and you were their perfect choice.
1:08 do YOU know what island song this is??!!
@@HeckBoi-23 cursed air cold and water mashup, probably more
i respect the fact gingerpale took a weird game that i loved for a long time and animated it to look hilarious
Never did I think someone would EVER list their favorite mushrooms.
legit thought you were ticklemytip for a moment
@@Snail_watcher I wish
There is exactly one possible favorite mushroom, and that is the morel. If you've never eaten one, fuckin get with it my guy.
My favourite mushrooms are Blackish Purple Russulas, Ruby Bonnets and Shaggy Parasols :]
I’ve heard many good things about psychedelics like LSD or psilocybin mushrooms and their health benefits, I also heard it helps one get through addiction and depression. I’m just wondering where I can get my hands on them cause I’ll love to give it a try. I’m passing through a state of terrible depression lately.
Research has shown psilocybin to have potent to treat a range of psychiatric and behavioral disorders.
Please how do you sources yours please?
Doc.Brent
I source from him
Despite the recent research,, there’s no realistic timeline for when,,or if, psilocybin will be approved by FDA..
Is on IG???””
I've actually had the chicken of the woods mushroom and surprisingly it does taste a lot like chicken. Also, it's cool to see you make a video about mushrooms because Mycology is one of my favorite studies.
Similar to the chicken of the woods mushroom there is also the oyster of the woods mushroom and elephant of the woods mushroom which is some of my favorites.
Mentioning My Singing Monsters brought back so much nostalgia! I completely forgot it existed, but thanks for bringing those memories back!
no idea what i love more, the video itself or the msm sponsor

To be fair, Cantorell is an obscure monster. Being on 1 not-that-notable island.

Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back.
These are great healing compounds! When used in proper context.
I know someone pointed out zombie fungus, so I’m gonna talk about:
Doctors tried to make medication to exclusively get rid of fungi in the body, namely blood/certain organs- but it didn’t work.
No, the medicine that they were able to make ended up eating/breaking down your bodies cells, making it harmful to get rid of internal fungi. So they don’t sell it/prescribe it. Fungi has to be removed through alternative means (I think the main one is literally surgery/cutting it out OR fighting it off with help with steroids). There are certain diseases that also have to be removed this way (including cancer).
There are certain medications to get rid of fungi in the nails, (most) layers of skin, butt hole, the uterus, ears, nose, mouth, and the eyes. (If more internal, be prepared to fight)
So, yeah. There is medicine to get rid of most parasites and bacteria and to help build resistance to certain viruses, but not to get rid of mold in certain places. Be careful out there!
It's really interesting how fungal cells are so similar to mammal cells that a medicine to kill the former ends up killing the latter as well. I think I heard somewhere that some fungi are so similar to us biologically that eating them makes us sick because it triggers our body's anti-cannibalistic response.
0:39 When I saw that you were sponsoring My Singing Monsters,my Jaw Dropped to the floor,like I was not expecting that,also I like the designs of your monsters.
Same I was static

When Noggin punched Ginger tho-
Ngl, the best and the most unexpected sponsor he could get
Bro the air island thing made me die
So glad that mushroom mania has gripped you too, Ginger. It’s prime mushroom season here in Australia right now and I’ve been on three mushroom hunts in my local area (hunts only to observe mushrooms and make neat lil spore prints, I’m still learning about what could potentially be eaten dw) and it’s been awesome!! Found so many cool things and some stuff that I couldn’t find any sources on. I know Australia’s mushroom scene is very under documented but I swear, this is just ridiculous
i still get startled sometimes by the reversed seasons. i can't imagine a november may but damn yall are living in it
Australia has a MUSHROOM SEASON?! That sounds so cool! Here in Michigan, we just have Winter, Mud, Traffic Cone Migration Season, and then Kinda Cold But Not Really Winter Yet
@@squibblez2517 we mostly go around looking for golden caps, the magic mushroom kind.
I've been gathering saffron milk caps on my way to equine therapy on the mornington peninsula
@@sirwahthemonke yea mushroom season has always described the period before over and after winter where magic mushrooms grow wild. At least in Tassie
Can you please continue these videos? I really like them. I have some ideas dea for a few videos! The history of school, music, why do we like sweetness, and the history of farms. You could also add the captions that are planed such as the "The History of Soda" video. I was waiting for a new video to come out and I checked how long ago this was posted and I realized it was a year ago and it was the most recent one.
I don't go to those....
Mushrooms are so aesthetically pleasing in Ginger's style I desperately need fungi merch.
My singing monsters is such a great og mobile game, bro. Glad to see they’re doing well enough to sponsor big deal TH-camrs like you!!!
Edit: changed “get sponsored by” to “sponsor” (thanks @entity for the correction)
The game is still going strong with loads of updates! Highly recommend listening to the full island songs especially bone Island it goes so hard

As someone who had no interest in mushrooms, this video was super fun to watch.
Now I have an interest in mushrooms.
For anyone who was already playing my singing monsters before this video came out...
The excitement I felt when a game I had been playing for years was appreciated.... it's a great game

YES YES YES
i played it on my nook (barnes and noble's reading tablet lol) when i was like 13 ish. i wonder if i could still open the app now. i remember it actually being fun and the songs being good
Coincedentally, I started watching your channel this morning, and I'm pretty far into My Singing Monsters. It's a great game, I recommend it!
HOW DO I ENTER THE CODE
Yep
@@Splinkus2 I haven't been on it for awhile, but from what I remember I believe first you go to the icon on the bottom right that says "friends" and there could be a thing where you enter in a code. Or it will be in either the settings icon or the mail icon.

If anyone's watching this right now and was thinking of getting MSM, Eggstravaganza just started and its additions this year are
-lots of new costumes
-the permanent water island skin
-rare hippityhop on Faerie island
On top of that, Blabbit is currently available on Water Island.
You can actually see some organisms from the other kingdoms with your bare eyes slime molds are actually part of the Protista kingdom and are incredible
You can also see some amoebas with your bare eyes sometimes
Their also protists
Another neat food related fungus is Aspergillus oryzae- the main fungus in the substance known as Koji.
Koji is involved in making several different items, like miso and vinegar, but can also be used as a meat marinade or in an amino paste.
The world of fungi is as mysterious as it is fascinating, and the very fact that we know so little about it and yet see such potential makes it very exciting to work with.
The fact that I never skip ginger pales sponsorships shows how good of an animator he is truly.
Also it's the best game in the world my singing monsters

I love it when he makes little characters such as the mushrooms
I was very surprised to know my singing monsters is still around and getting updates, let alone sponsoring you. It seems fitting from what I remember, I used to like that game, particularly the funny snail drummer guy. Hope they add you in as a singing fungus

This sponsorship is a match made in heaven.
The question about which mushroom to eat ... mushrooms dont have glucose, therefore are not gonna to fill you up, they are eaten to improve your gut as it helps your body break things down,
Bacically youd be better off tryna eat the tree.
Fun fact: the Protist kingdom does actually have some members that are visible without a microscope. It’s the catch-all kingdom for all eukaryotes that aren’t already plants, animals, or fungi.
It includes slime molds and algae, and because kelp is a kind of algae, protists can be up to 150 feet long.

Everyone talking about mushrooms here but im just happy that My Singing Monsters is sponsoring this video lol. So nostalgic
It’s such a fun game you better be playing it or else
Awesome video! I actually recently watched videos on Death caps and things like those. There really interesting. But the one big thing I was so excited about, was the My Singing Monsters sponsor. literally when you had the monster on screen, I did the exact notes when you did. Brings so much nostalgia and memories ahhhh.

The one thing I would never expect is for ginger pale to be sponsored by my singing monsters
And yet it's the perfect sponsorship. The monsters are so wacky and whimsical that they mesh super well with GingerPale's style.

I love mushrooms, they're great buddies! I like to grow shiitakes as a hobby, and it's the most rewarding thing. They're super easy to care for, and it's so exciting when their little pins start popping out! I dunno what you guys think, but if a person can't get crazy hype about growing a shiitake the size of their head, then we probably can't be friends. And they aren't invited to my tea parties.
As a My Singing Monsters fan, I never expected them to sponsor your video! Plus, this was so cute and funny! Great job!

YOU HAVE GOT TO DO FUNGI NOW its the evolution of mushrooms
Never eat wild mushrooms ever. Even if you think they look alright. So many wild toxic mushrooms look like the ones you get at the market. And even if eat one and make it to a hospital there is nothing they can do but try to make your last moment more comfortable.
You know, you have a better chance of eating a toxic plant then mushroom. Though there is a small risk to eating wild mushrooms, they most likely will not be deadly. And yes there are many ways to counter mushroom poisoning. The worst an average mushroom will probably do to you is make you a hell of a lot less comfortable. To your credit though, if you run into the deathcap or destroying angel of the ammanita family, there is a large chance you could die.
Even if you get taken to a hospital they can't do anything to help? Well that's comforting to know.
Foraging is fine... I'm not saying eat any old mushroom, but the whole rule of foraging is to only eat what you can positively identify as something edible.
It's all about identifying baybey
I'm so blessed by the algorithm! I love mushrooms and hope I get to see more about mycelium on here. Really liked mycelium after having to do a report on it. That's so cool! I wanna visit the honey mushroom! Also your animations are so cute and adorable!
If you are curious, the other three kingdoms are Bacteria and Archaebacteria, single celled organisms without nucleuses, and Protista, which contains everything that doesn't fit into the other five kingdoms, mostly single-celled organisms.
Protista also includes slime molds and algae!
Then there’s viruses, which don’t really fit into our current definition of life. They have the bare minimum to reproduce, and we aren’t even sure if they’re related to us
Protists are the ones that are always left out :(
And archaea can live in volcanoes and munch volcanic chemicals
Thanks, nerd.
the first sponsor i want to watch
