my computer science teacher heard one of your videos play across the hall in a different classroom the other week and said "sorry guys, the videos we watch wont have intros as incredible as that" 😂
Another insanely well researched, thorough and easy to understand video. Love how mycology is being taught through the phylogenetic lens. Keep up the great work!
Corn smut quesadillas are definitely a kind of food that makes me wonder: why would anyone ever try it in the first place? Were they literally starving, or did they think "oh, that looks good, I'll eat that"? Regardless, excellent tutorial as always; many thanks for the hard work in putting it together.
Cheryl asks Karen, "Hey Karen, whatta ya call a mushroom with a 10 inch stem" Karen replies, "I have no idea what you call a mushroom with a 10 inch stem Cheryl, what do you call them"? Cheryl yells back, " A FUNGI TO BE WITH!!!"
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Can you tell me professor what tools do you use to do your researches? It would be great for me, cause I am too trying to learn a lot of things.
Really enjoying this series. The question I have is why is primary host for the Puccina graminis rust fungi considered to be wheat and not the barberry plant? Wheat is a modern commercial crop that has only been in abundance ( for certain months) since agriculture was introduced?
Although I understand very little of what is talked about in these videos....Im still oddly drawn to watching each and every one. It's fascinating how little I know compared to what's out there to learn.
I have no interest and no understanding of this content but I can't stop watching! It's never too late to learn something new and this presentation is riveting. Really enjoy Professor Dave explaining anything, really.
That was ultra interesting! I've seen Ustilaginomycotina so often on corn (btw., I live in Austria/Europe) and never had an idea, that it is edible! Next season, I am immediately going to try that out - even though it has got the especially repulsive name MAISBEULENBRAND (Corn bulge inflagration) in my language, German! - Does anybody of you know how to cook it? (Other theme: Who the hell dislikes a video like that? Corn bulge inflagrators??)
the edible species in question is Ustilago maydis, the corn smut. This fungus is native to Mexico. Make sure to confirm any identifications before eating any fungus
@@williammarcus2487 thank you for your concern, honestly! - OF COURSE, I will be checking every little detail before munching those fungi - I'm going to celebrate my 60th birthday this year, about 58 years of them (there is a foto of me as a toddler, holding up very proudly a big, fat Boletus edulis) I spent hunting and eating mushrooms - I would not have grown so f*ing old without a good portion of reason and precaution as mushroom-fan! ;-)
How important do you think knowledge of fungi will be in the workfield of ecology? In school we learn rather little about different species of fungi but they play such an important role. (ecology student here)
This "circle of life" that you just explained Dave, seems incredibly complex. Hard to believe it kept happening over and over, and that through random chance over time it finally developed this intricate working process. Anyway, what a video! Wow and thanks!
Sir myself Ram from india prep for iit jee need some video explanation about canezaro reaction and perkin reaction and some reaction are extra in our syllabus since u have done no video on it So my request try to consider this pls try to upload videos sir thank you sir
Not ultra hypnotic, sorry to disappoint you ;-)) - Since many European cultures used it for shamanic purposes, I was nosy enough to try out little pieces of raw flymushrooms on my "mushroom hunts" - it has been giving me slight, enjoyable kicks now for many, many years (as long as I don't OD by mistake - then I spend my time vomiting between the trees). I think, the shamans used it dried and powdered, not fresh as I do - up to now, I never had the guts to try that... The ultra hypnotic shrooms in our (Austrian) woods would be Psilocybe semilanceata - I really don't like them, because they are very unpredictable in their effect. Thank you, mushroom, but no thank you...

Lol! Btw how did comp sci go?
As a biochem major I always wanted to take a mycology class. Great stuff.
How's biochem going?
Another insanely well researched, thorough and easy to understand video. Love how mycology is being taught through the phylogenetic lens. Keep up the great work!
all your videos are so immensely intriguing to watch.
What a mouthful of words!
1:57 Yes!! In Mexico it's called "Huitlacoche" and we mostly eat them in quesadillas !
It's good to know what type of fungus this is
I was not previously aware of any of this...or I have forgotten! Absolutely fascinating topic and an amazing video. Thank-you.
Corn smut quesadillas are definitely a kind of food that makes me wonder: why would anyone ever try it in the first place? Were they literally starving, or did they think "oh, that looks good, I'll eat that"?

Working in the corn fields is grueling work, you eat what you can.
Taking third year mycology up in Canada just wanted to say thanks for the detailed video :)
A class on just mushrooms sounds awesome! How did it go?
@@PunmasterSTP good! Prof was great
@@5602KK I'm glad to hear it!
I'll take "Words with at least 7 syllables" for $1,000, please, Alex. Well done, Professor Dave. Enjoyed this deeper dive into the world of fungi!
Edible smut?! Corn smut?!
You’ve got a lot of gall, pal!
No mom I’ve been reading ustilaginomycotina!!!
Smuts and rusts? More like "Super great information that I can trust!" Thanks again so much for making all of these very highly-educational videos.
Thank you so much ❤️
That title really confused me initially, I thought I'd accidentally subscribed to some foreign channel.
Absolutely fascinating!
Video title is a mouthful
Very nice, thanks

Thank you so so much this is golden
I wonder where to get references for the most updated version of fungal taxonomy.
Yeah hopefully there’s a website with the tree that gets updated constantly
Excellent, thanks.
Wait wait wait wait wait... Dave were you part of the vocals in the intro song? I think I heard your voice in there.
it's all me
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Can you tell me professor what tools do you use to do your researches? It would be great for me, cause I am too trying to learn a lot of things.
I hire writers.
@@ProfessorDaveExplains Writers who know the topics you talk about, I reckon?
I just learn it while animating the things the writers write! I didn't know a thing about mycology before starting this series.
Thanks alot 🌹🌹
thanks, friend!

I dont understand how he knows so much. Like is he reviewing all of this for each episode or does he genuinely remember all of this?
Hi great video, the rusts is there organic ways of preventing it or stopping it?

Never would have guessed that smut was edible. It did not look yummy.

you are the best

With the help of natural selection. It's not just random mutations.
Are you a creationist or something? If that's you in the picture, I'd believe it.
I like smut
Sir myself Ram from india prep for iit jee need some video explanation about canezaro reaction and perkin reaction and some reaction are extra in our syllabus since u have done no video on it
So my request try to consider this pls try to upload videos sir thank you sir
Heyy.. ur way of remembering amino acid structures is good..
I'm just curious; how did the JEE go?
wow, fungal life cycles are crazy!
lol makes you not wanna eat tacos anymore.
Sir, are you on instagram? if yes can i DM you?
Thank you this is fascinating, But those corn smuts look disgusting!
@@vaishaligoel2321 What? even Google does not know what that is.
you gotta do a debunking on anti vaxx cause my dad is anti vaxx and he wont listen to me. he thinks it is why my older brother has dyslexia
Funfact: the Fly Agaric Mushroom’s scientific name in Polish is „Muchomor czerwony”, which literally translates to English as „red Fly-killer”.
Bruh those heteroecious fungi are so annoying.. Why 2 ?? 😩
Love from Kashmir
This were some funny names
Isn't The Fly Agaric Mushroom used to Really "Rock One's World", like in a Ultra Hypnotic Manner???
Not ultra hypnotic, sorry to disappoint you ;-)) - Since many European cultures used it for shamanic purposes, I was nosy enough to try out little pieces of raw flymushrooms on my "mushroom hunts" - it has been giving me slight, enjoyable kicks now for many, many years (as long as I don't OD by mistake - then I spend my time vomiting between the trees).

huitlacoche, very tasty - thanks a lot ustilaginoycotina
I cant help but laugh at some of these names...pucciniomycotina
Why you not getting views
I have no idea what’s going on
Love these videos, but Lenaen taxonomy is no longer a thing amongst real scientists...cladistics rule today
Brother does flat earth float??
Pls reply
I thought that mushroom was called Super Marious Worldus.
Potatoes are not Poaceae. Careful with the misleading segue
Eating those smuts? No, thank you..
so thats what those random red spots on plants are!
Is there anything that this man doesn't know
Reporting this video for corn smut.
I know a few fun guys who cause diseases.
well, potatoes (Solanaceae) are definitely not grasses, but great video otherwise

He skipped agaricomycotina
No that's gonna get like 20 tutorials.
