- David Attenborough encounters a parasitic fungi that lives off the plants it inhabits. His search goes deeper to discover the huge underground threads that keep fungi alive.
In contrast with the saprotrophic fungi, parasitic fungi attack living organisms, penetrate their outer defenses, invade them, and obtain nourishment from living cytoplasm, thereby causing disease and sometimes death of the host. Most pathogenic (disease-causing) fungi are parasites of plants.
From Kingdom of Plants Season 1 Episode 3, "Solving the Secrets": this series, narrated and presented by Sir David Attenborough, documents the world of plants, from the strangest to the most beautiful. Plus, a look at how plants change their biology to adapt to the changing seasons, and ensure their survival.

David is a great presenter, not just because he’s knowledgeable, but also because he’s such a fun-gi.
Nice
NICE
I have so mushroom for him in my heart
🤣. Nice one!
Love it❤
Bro I get a jump scare literally every time the "Nature Bites" thing pops at the end.
every single time... even after watching 100s of videos
Same, sudden and loud! It's just instant after Mr. Attenborough stops.
Yeah, that is why I'm going to dislike and block this channel, it bled the headphones clean off my head.
@@startedtech particularly when his voice is so soothing, and you just don't see it coming.
I literally bit my tongue because of this in this video lol
Fungus is almost as impressive a Sir Attenborough himself. I love learning from such an iconic narrator. And to think he is still working at 95 (approaching 96!). Thanks for all the entertaining and educational media, you have, and continue to produce Sir David Attenborough. 🤟
Absolutely the best narrator for anything and everything nature. His humbleness and vocabulary go hand in hand. I only wish that he was immortal and had many more years left to continue educating people of the barbaric things that are happening to our planet! He can pull you in and keep your attention for long lengths of time on any subject. I could sit and watch his shows forever. You can learn a lot from folks like David Attenborough.
Since no one else mentioned it. 2:25
That's a stinkhorn
looks like a dick to me
Endless generations of people will be able to understand the Natural World that much better with Video
and David Attenborough commenting.
I love sir David Attenborough! Meeting him,or even going on a nature walk with him,has always been somewhere at the top of my bucket list!😎
Sir David is such an amazing man. I feel so lucky to have been able to live during the same time as him. Growing up with his educational material has been a huge privilege.
May Attenborough live on for a very long time. This man is a gem for human civilization - one full of myth, superstition and pseudoscience. People like him are needed..
What will the world be without Mr. Attenborough
I think all of your videos need to be retitled when Sir David Attenborough is in them. He is a "Sir" after all and should be announced correctly. Especially with all the marvelous this he has done for us all. I thank you Sir David Attenborough.
I heared, that David Attenborough has an excellent humor - he seems to be a pretty fungi.
May David be forever immortal!
I'm on a Sir David Awesomeborough youtube kick and I can't stop!
Wonderful info! Thank you! Love David A.
The voice of my childhood not only can i feel but i can also sense the nostalgia within me
Same
You can never get over how relaxing it is to listen to David Attenborough’s voice all these years later. What a legend, especially knowing most of us heard his narrations when we were way younger. David the GOAT 👌🏾
Yea u can, voice is like a chalk board being scratched
@@innoutsucks___3016 you living in an alternate universe my guy 🤷🏾♂️
It’s almost paternal, a voice from childhood. He is amazing and could listen to him all day
@@TRPYGanja I feel like goat seems offensive but idk
@@Sentient-potato I meant GOAT as an abbreviation of greatest of all time, especially when it comes to nature documentaries.
I love the loud jumpscares at the end of each of these calming videos
I swear that sir Attenborough could narrate a person passing a bowel movement and make it sound interesting. 😂😂😂😂
Yes he could… but please don’t
I don’t want to hear the foley sound effects of a turd sliding out of an anus in slow motion.
True😂😂😂😂
I like any video with David Attenborough in it.
Que agradable es escuchar las narraciones del Señor Attenborough pues me hace recordar como nos ilustró para conocer y amar la naturaleza. Este vídeo es igualmente ilustrativo. Gracias 💖💖💖
It is quite agreeable to listen to Mr Attenborough's narrations so I can record how we illustrate how to know and love nature . This video is equally illustrating of it , Thank You .
amazing, we want more documentals like this
It has been years for me he is the greatest 👍😃
This has become my new favorite channel because of Sir David 💕
Love this old gentleman 😍
Fungi are why we have so much coal. Well the lack of fungi that is :-) Fungi were not well developed back in the Carboniferous period so when the first woody plants died they weren't broken down as they are today so dead trees piled up then got covered up and became coal. Today wood is broken down so efficiently that little more coal will ever be produced.
The only place it does happen is peat bogs. They will form coal eventually...but ermmm are acidic to the point of mummifying bodies that fall in them. Proving your point!
True, But we can still make charcoal ;)
@@babalonkie Interesting point. When those trees grew and died for 100 million years, fungus might not have helped decay them, but that role was filled by endless forest fires 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@redshift1976 You can even make it at home. Heat wood in a oxygen less atmosphere with the ability to vent pressure should it build and you get charcoal. :)
@@babalonkie distillation of wood is super coal, I mean cool! 😂 Seriously though, you can collect the liquid, and even the gas, make things like turpentine. You can even run combustion engine off it.
Right on Sir David. You are a wonderful storyteller 💚🌏🎬🎥🙏🏻 Brilliant photography too 💪🏻🤌🏻🙌💙🕉🇦🇺
The scariest thing about life is, we grow old, and that is happening to David Attenborough. 😢
Growing old is the beauty of life. Some people never had the chance to grow old. Our passing is only part of the on going process of life. We are all part of nature.
The sound design is always so satisfying.
I hate that sudden abrupt ending sound byte.
So relaxing to listen to David until that creepy monster scream at the end of every nature byte video!
Bravo fungi .
I would love to meet david, he looks like a really fun guy.
2:25 guys as they wake up in the morning
It a masterpiece I'm FREAKING OUT EVERY VIDEO
Wonderful!!!
So the lack of fungi in an area is why planting new trees fail
So glad I found this channel
Sir David Attenborough ❤ you are a legend and I could listen to you forever. Thank you for all the knowledge you share with us. You are something magical. "The Caribou" 🤗
May he live more years
Hopefully many more.
yes
Wuuh whaat? Now I'm reconsidering about changing the media of my plants, especially orchids when I saw fungi growing on them.
The mushrooms that grow in potting soil are saprophytic, meaning they’re breaking down organic matter. They’re harmless to the plants. Parasitic fungi are moldy looking.
Important note, symbiosis and mutualism are not one and the same. Mutualism is a symiotic relationship but symbiotic relationships are not necessarily mutualistic.
Thank you sir David for your clear and wonderful explanations. This is exactly the reason why we need to #savesoil
Let's make it happen! 🙏💙💚
Amazing.
Most fungi are symbiotic. Life as we know it would not exist without them.
That growling cut away at the end is so jarring! 😖
Amazing how appropriate the spooky music is , Thank you.
It's probably true to say that the sum total of what we don't know outweighs what we do, by many, many times !!
I think human being can listen very low frequency sound sometime I get angry , sometime my heart pains sometime it is happy, by every feel of heart I feel about heart bring the message for me which mind decoded in the language we speak .
WOW I had no idea
😳 2:24
Chitin, the most abundant polysaccharide in nature.
2:26.....😳😳
David is a fun guy
Just a question please if someone can confirm or answer. I thought it were the bacteria which ate the sugars from around the roots, and the fungi then fed on the bacteria? Sir David is saying that the fungi feed on the sugar. The fungi help the plant get nutrients because it wants the tree to produce sugar to feed the bacteria which it then eats. Which is correct? Thankyou for a brilliant production.
Fungi breaks down the nutrients itself
@@awz.4080 Thanks, and yes I know that, but that doesn’t answer the question of whether the fungi are looking for the sugar, or whether the bacteria are after the sugar, and the fungi after the bacteria?
There are two different scenarios.
1. In this video fungii gets sugars directly from plant and provides nitrogen to the tree.
2. This is not from this video but could be the one you are confusing it with that bacterias like risobium (not sure if spelt it correctly) live in the nodules on roots of plants in dicot plants and provide the plant with nitrogen compounds in exchange of sugars.
@@hrushikeshdesai8404 yes thats it
There are also bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with some plants in the same nitrogen-for-sugar exchange. Fungi also have the advantage that their huge mycelial networks can collect water for the plants and even pass chemical messages and food to them. Some forest trees feed their young through the mycorrhizal internet to keep them alive until a big tree dies and they can sustain themselves with the newly exposed sun.
Here in North Carolina we have a double trunk potentially 800 yr old oak located in Southport NC. It is incredible and it's in trouble, hopefully we can heal her and gave her around for much longer.
now that is an old Oak there 500 years is their usual lifespan here in Dixie
In South Dakota Oaks don’t do so well, Oldest I saw was 250…. And the power company made us cut it down even after we begged for it to stay. I worked for power company clearing or trimming trees away from lines… their approach to nature around lines is Desolation, if they could turn whole area around power lines into empty desert wasteland they would. That old beautiful oak was 50 feet below the lines but the wanted everything clear cut because their lazy and stupid. The morons would have saved money had we just left whole are alone the lines where high enough trees would never touch them but dumbass OCD paper pushers in office have trouble seeing beyond their own stupid rules and OCD behavior . We completely destroyed a whole grove turned it into wood chips. I no longer work for them and im seeking job or volunteer work planting caring for new trees to find forgiveness for so many I have killed. They loved me at that job but usually got pretty annoyed when I whined about hitting trees lol. I’ve almost cost other boss work trying to convince people to keep their trees.
right and correct 100 years is avg for an Oak
@@BigDsGaming2022 it depends on the species. Southern live oaks (named for their evergreen leaves) can live to be hundreds of years old, as can Eastern white oaks. The Angel Oak of South Carolina is thought to be between 400 and 500 years old, but they can’t tell for sure because the trunk is hollow, and you can’t count tree rings that aren’t there. If you’re not from the US Southeast, and you’re going to be visiting, it’s worth taking a trip to see some of the centuries old live oaks. The Angel Oak looks more like something out of high fantasy than a real tree.
@@evilsharkey8954 Best comment i have read in a month thumbs up for all that good info about Oak Species .
Are there longer versions of these? I am a documentary nerd and need to know more about this topic!
Look for The Green Planet, a documentary by BBC. If you're in the U.S., you may find it on PBS or for sale.
The fungus that has a symbiotic relationship with the oak tree is Mycorrhizal fungus. i use it when growing just about everything.
Great stuff.
That’s so cool!
I've been making mushroom juice from whole mushrooms , and putting it out in the wild , in the hope the spores row and fruit , as it's been Reishi , and Shitakae so far . Finding the right types of fallen tree is a hit and mis affair , as all are candidates for sowing , as are the portabello and white button mushrooms when properly ripe , into grass fields to help improve soil quality - and maybe , on a 'good' day , a few field mushrooms or one of the others for a feed , as most folks leave the mushrooms alone , except for the Amanita Muscaria , whose fruit is often destroyed - mistaken belief that it's poison , when it's a medicinal , when used properly .
He looks so actively well for his old age
There are voices that we all grew up on, listening to, as the narrator's of our favorite stories, the life of our animated characters.
Unique and distinct from all of the rest of us.
I used to think that if one could imitate any of those voices that had retired from active acting careers, or from life itself, that unknown voice talent would always be able to secure work just because of how much people are comforted by the familiar sound of their voice.
For example...
Whoever the voice talent is for Roger on American Dad is doing Paul Lynde, I believe.
Morgan Friedman, James Earl Jones, Burgess Meredith, Berle Ives, Sam Elliot, Jimmy Durante, Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, Phyllis diller, za za Gabor, Whoopi Goldberg, the guy who did whinnie the poo, there are many more. You get the idea
Now I think that a data bank of all of each one of their voices ever recorded, and an AI algorithm that's able to assemble all of the subtle nuance of emotion etc, will be able to fill that role better.
Then I wonder if the voice is able to be copyrighted and the owner of that would be able to be compensated for that work. Or trademarked or wtvr.
Hell, I think entire movies will be able to be made using dead actors from an assembly of a persons images and movies.
Like a brand new western starting john Wayne's image.
Etc.
Joseph Campbell said, "Life feeds on life." There you go..
Nitrogen cycle. Fungi are decomposers.
That sudden outro almost gave me a heart attack....

Nature bites should change that ending sound. It's a bit disturbing to end the video that way.
It's crazy that almost all plants depend on fungi but only 1 to 10% of fungi engage in mutualistic relationships with plants. As Kingdoms in a relationship they've got some talking to do about what they expect from each other.
I mean fungi were there first. They started their life on land by growing on plant parts that washed up on beaches, long before plants grew on land. There were also fungi that lived off of minerals and bacteria and helped create the first soils. Without fungi and bacteria making the land more habitable plants would have had a much harder time establishing ground there. Fungi simply don't need plants as much as plants need them.
3:30 The tree can extract nitrogen from the soil on its own. I think the video is referring to phosphorus, which mycorrhizal fungi can help plants better extract.
David, you are kind of a fun guy
Guess this settles the "fungi-funji" pronunciation debate.
I think he mean phosporus from the soil not nitrogen as that legumes with bacteria nodules
Plus they can extract it directly from the soil anyways.
@@nicholaslewis8594 Yes
Each organism had to adapt to nature in its own way in order to survive. Forms and tactics are different for everyone, and this parasitic fungus has found a sophisticated way to survive.
You completely misunderstood the quintessence of the video. First of all they are not talking about any one fungus in particular but about a whole class of fungi. And the fungi showcased in this video are not parasitic, they are symbiotic*.
Also listen to Attenborough: 3:17 The fungi are not a danger to the tree but the reason why the tree could survive for so long. And then in his last sentence he goes on to say that 90% of all plants depend on fungi to survive.
*parasitic: host takes harm
symbiotic: mutually beneficial
Yeah, there's more than 1 fungi, this one is a symbiotic fungus
@@bartelgrant I agree with you that this is a symbiosis, I meant about the adaptation of these fungi, i.e. to live at the expense of the host, and this is the behavior of parasites, it does not matter whether the host himself benefits from it.
@@NaturalBiotopes In terms of fungal classification, it absolutely does matter whether the host benefits. Mutualistic fungi (i.e. mycorrhizal) are adapted to grow and feed in a different way compared to parasitic fungi. In a mycorrhizal association, the health of the host plant is often paramount to the survival of the fungus (and vice versa).
It actually does matter if the host benefits from it. If the host benefits from it then it isn’t considered a parasite.
Nice men
2:25 okay , that's a bit to much of nature for me
🤣
2:25 😳😳.
Mushrooms are so terrifying!
That’s why I use mycorrhizal in my garden
That's why l love mushroom soup.
2:25 when your a man out in the cold for hours and finally start to warm up
*you're
@@filonin2 .....
Im gonna be a fungi freak now
father nature
the outro is a bit loud, I almost dropped my chocolate sandwich :O
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like Fungi and mushrooms
❤
cordycep fungi is were they got the idea in The Last if Us game
I l❤️Ve this ❤️
I thought my mom was a fungi but then I found out she was just a parasite
Brilliant video, but what grammatical justification has "a symbiotic fungi" in the title?
Why this awful sound at the end of this very nice video?
A fungUS !! Duh!
I would love to hangout with him.
JFC the ending... RAAAAAAAA! Blew my headphones clean off my head ffs.
We don’t deserve David awesome vid as always !
If fungal networks are essential for health of Woodland trees and plants then is hydroponics the right way to go without use of such fungal symbionts?!! 🤔
2:25 you're welcome
I used to know an oak downtown who could read a palm. He's name was David and he was a fun guy.
Your South African slang joke will not resonate well with the rest of the world, but I get it, well played.
