    @TheBullethead 2 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    I wish you'd have mentioned that fungi are responsible for us having bread to begin with. It's a type of yeast, which are fungi, that makes bread rise. Other yeasts eat various types of plant sugars from barley, maize, rice, sugar cane, potatoes, agaves, etc., to bless us with beer, whisky, whiskey, sake, rum, vodka/gin/schnapps, mezcals/tequila, etc. Humans would all be starving teetotalers (a HORRIFYING vision) without fungi in the form of yeast. In fact, some argue that Saccharomyces cervisiae (beer yeast) was domesticated prior to any of the plants it turns into booze, let alone before we domesticated farm animals. Of course, there are also nasty yeast infections in humans but, as with everything else (including booze), there can be too much of a good thing.

      I was just thinking the same thing, and I realized something. Humans have a symbiotic relationship with yeast. I gets on our dough because it lives on our skin (sometimes colonizing our wounds). We use that yeast to bake bread. More spores fall from our skin to our bread. Then we use this second bread to make medicine. We're kind of walking fungus factories

    Great video Hank & Crew! I am glad that you mentioned Merlin's book "Entangled Life" as I was going to do so if you hadn't. Terrific read for sure. One of the best books that I have ever read about Mushrooms! Highly recommended! 👍👍😉😉🍄🍄🍄🍄😉😉👍👍

    I really admire David Attenborough and with his passing I have wondered who would fill the shoes of the world's greatest non-fiction narrator. After watching this I feel Hank has the talent for it. I would like to see Hank in larger productions if he is up to it.

      seconding this. i don't generally do this, but my uncle and aunt do: usually they'll stick a loaf in the cabinet first like normal, but if they don't finish it quickly enough and it's nearing the end of its non-moldy life they'll pop it in the freezer. thought it was the weirdest thing at first (the bruhs are an understandable reaction) but it works, especially if you basically only eat toasted bread anyways.

    • @helentee9863
      @helentee9863 ปีที่แล้ว

      Keep your bread in the fridge. It will go moldy eventually but it lasts a lot longer because fungi likes warmth.
      Also any type of bread can be frozen and then defrosted for eating,just don't freeze it for more than about 4-6 months as it gets 'freezer burn' and dries out making it unpleasant in texture (though edible if toasted).

    I ate half a muffin for breakfast earlier this year. It was supposed to have orange flavour, but it tasted like parmesan. I paid no mind, thinking that maybe it was only my taste buds being weird or something. Later that day I went for the other half as part of my afternoon breakfast... I was more awake then and that's when I noticed that the muffin had been completely taken by green mould. Then it all made sense, why the flavour was similar to cheese and all. I was just baffled that I didn't notice such an enormous patch of mould before eating the first half in the morning. Anyways, I ate the second half and it tasted more parmesan-ish than before. It was quite an interesting experience. I have eaten mouldy bread by accident a few times, yogurt with a blue living spot (that I ended up keeping as a pet for a while until someone threw it away, F) but they all tasted alright. The orange flavoured muffin tasting like cheese was just surprising lol

    Blue mold likes lemon skins best. They are often completely covered a couple of days after they warm up from the superstore's chiller killer,and so are dead and cannot defend themselves. However: usefully, the mold is only interested in the skin. Wash it off, and the inside is fine.
