Baja California Fungus Jaunt 

"A new liver is 800 000$ with installation"

Alan's knowledge about fungi is impressive. He always seems to explain anything that he's asked in an easy, simple way.

perfect way to start my morning off 🤙 Blunt and a little crime pays

God, I just love these Baja episodes. Nothing beats a little botany and mycology lesson crossover with two of my favorites in the field! Alan is my main inspiration in mycology, and you're my main inspiration in botany.

Always enjoy our time with Alan, thanks to both of you. ✌🇦🇺🍄

I dream of having friends like this! I spend so much time in the forest alone. Ive become feral. You fellas are lucky to have each other!

26:40 How freaking cool to have two experts on different taxonomies making banger videos. I love the interpretation of dense information from the two of you, it is reminiscence of Freeman Tildens "Interpretating our heritage". The way you guys bring the science to life should be the standard. Thank you for the videos - from a retired Infantry Paratrooper and current OS major up in Alaska.

Alan's a Man of Tolerance Walking through your street With one guitar And two dancing feet

Amazing, had no idea that many of the fungi species found in the US could need future identification. North Carolina is renowned for its high fungi biodiversity, perhaps there are a few here that need their DNA sequenced.

Alan may be the most patient man on earth.

Now THAT'S an album title!

Alan is the man! I love all of your enthusiastic passion of the outdoor micro worlds around us! I am the same regarding to native Americans survival/ hunting techniques

just two Intelligent, handsome men; sealing my heart🖤

I know its going to be a good video when Allen Rockefeller is in the mix. yall got synergy together

Love watching, very instructive and funny, to boot. Speaking of booting enjoyed watching Alan drop kick that mushroom.

Alan is the MAN

Dude, when you visited Alan in his lab... I got another glimpse of what an expert does.

I will continue to watch your Baja episodes, hoping you'll come across a Euphorbia xanti plant. I'd appreciate your comments on its taxonomy and ecological importance. Thanks for the great content as always.

Some of your videos are packed with so much useful information I wind up watching them several times. This is one of those gems I look forward to rewatching 👍🏼

14:33 😂😂😂 Man i love what you guys are doing!! So much information in every video. Thanks to you i'm just standing at any "weeds" to look at the the leaves and flowers and the people i'm with are wondering what i'm doing. Keep doing what you love and inspire all of us! 🙏

"Sequiterpenes" is sexy to say three times fast LOL

Keep up all the good work, loving it... much appreciated 🌿

I love fungi! One year we were at my family cottage in the early fall after an especially wet summer, and the whole place had so many different fungi that I'd never seen before. I took about a squillion pictures and turned the 12 best ones into a photo calendar that I gave everyone for Christmas.

I FKN Love this Guy! His knowledge is 🤯, I hit play on You Tube and watch for Hours! His accent is more New York but says he lives in Texas!!😂👏🏼👏🏼

So glad we are focusing on fungus today.😂 That last video I saw some fascinating fungus but we quickly moved away from it.😢ty

Rhus looks like a Hoya flowers so pretty and looks nice smelling also

What an exciting time to be part of botany and mycology with genetic sequencing being so accessible and completely changing the landscape for classification.

Hell yeah! I'm loving these Baja California videos. So cool and informative about the native Flora and Funga Greetings from Baja California! Hope to see you guys soon again!

Very nice videyo, Thankies! :3

this is one of the prettiest places you've shown on your show, i am in LOVE with it and wish desperately that i could be there. it really is alot like the chaparral section of the berkeley botanic garden except a million times more beautiful

Love, love, love, your voice affect to communicate your condescending attitude towards early FM radio jocks, like KTSM Santa Barbara back in the day 😂

they say that in Australia only 50% of all known fungi from here, have been recorded botanically and that the known is only a small percentage to what is still to be found; so many people come here and see something they think is something they have eaten for years, ending up in hospital

Loving the mycology. Your channel is great.

Wow Tony....Your knocking 'em out man........Good on you.

This was one of the best pieces of moving pictures I’ve ever seen.

I am amazed at how many fungal species are out in those places you find in southern California and Baja . I guess I never found many because I very seldom wondered around there during the rainy season. It really is impressive how much activity is going on at the plant level as revealed by the mushrooms. love it down on your knees in the dirt up close with living earth

Alan dealing with your bullshit during this trip is next level lol love you guys

Poking that there algo. 🎉 Cheers. Thanks again.

Nice punt Alan!

Wow that is gorgeous little slice of heaven, despite the poison oak. Amanitas love coast live oak and I sure miss seeing both. ❤️

Fascinating stuff!! Your photography is stunning!

I am addicted to your damn videos . There should be a warning label on this channel : addictive content , proceed at your own detriment.

One of the best "walks through nature" about molds/spores/fungus type vlogs. Fungus is usually seen by most just about anywhere walking about a vicinity of trees under their canopy out in the forest and sometimes just out in the open where a tree may have been cut down along a road. Such diversity of one of the coolest thing in nature .

I would give my left arm to travel and learn from Alan for a year.

Mushroom punting, score! Nifty shit guys.

Thanks!

Love the banter you've got with Allan after all these eps. It'd be neat to go for a myco hike with him here in the PNW. I've got my spots for tons of edibles, but I bet he's got his own up here, too.

New liver is 800000 with installation, but on the flip side it's mycorrhizal with oaks, got it

[6:20] Same here. Appreciate the brief lesson. I just looked up some terms and figured out something new about the general advantage of outbreeding.

[18:49] I didn't know I was going to get a geology lesson too. A three for one special.

More san diego orange county coastal chaparral videos please!!

Dang! At first glance I would have thought that was TT.

The most widespread psilocybin containing mushroom is not in the genus psilocybe. What a world.

Tony's so calm out there

You guys should start a guerilla botany/mycology school. I'd go.

hey we are here in baja. it would be awsome to meet you ..

For what it's worth I got poison ivy rashes very badly every summer from 8 years old to 25, my response began fading then and haven't had a rash since 30 and hike deer trails weekly

The day of the Triffidstigma😊

🤗💯💯

Gymnopilus …….good stuff

I was with you-until the very end.

I want to go fungus jaunting with Allen! So interesting!

I feel a few plants got skipped over. What is that tiny, upright plant at the bottom of the screen at 29:18? Is it just a baby shoot of the larger plant? And what’s that cute little ground cover around the first Paneolus at 23:29?

4:00 I love that Alan didn't even pause his monologue about the 'shrooms as he boots the fucker to spread the spores 🤣 edit: I love Alan episodes.

Has anyone ever told Alan he looks like Vincent van Gogh?

Amanita almost killed my dog in Wisconsin. That stuff is crazy.

Heroes

Hey Joey, just got back from a road trip to Chiricahua and Cochise Stronghold that I want to thank you for. What a fucking incredible area. Still riding the high from seeing a coatimundi cross the road when we arrived at 4am. We desperately tried to find your Cochise video while we were out there but couldn't (was thinking it was from maybe 4 years ago, around #153/#154?), would be interested if anyone knew the title so I could find it.

Watching this as I spit out rare Coprosma sp seeds out of a bunch of berries. Going to force the seedlings on a bunch of friends. So in other words - inspired.

Come over here Southeast way

Joey & Alan, will u do a scrotal speciation taste test on poisonous fungi, for science safety first

Alan must really love your bullshit lol I feel like I can hear him rolling his eyes when you do your schtick sometimes. Love your vids

Ooph, at least 1 more 👍 It’s a good thing Alan is bullshit tolerant 😂 ❤ y’all !!

Alan!

Yeah, but how much is a liver if you DIY the install?

"Buncha Rich people and sexually over charged new aged weirdo's" made me laugh out loud

Maybe a dumb question but is pollen always yellow? And what makes it yellow?

What mushroom decomposes a human body most efficiently? AZ is fixin’ to pass a human composting bill. Just wondering.

So it would be safe to say that Alan and Joey have an Ectomycorhizal relationship right?

* STAY MEN! * STICK IT TO MA!

I'm subscribed with the stupid bell on and the algorithm still don't give me your new shit in the recommended I gotta search it up every time I wanna watch

The fear of appearing pedantic is a bitch ain't it!

I stumbled across your channel probably 2 months ago and I love it. All aspects 10/10

🌱 🍄

Does alan like jokes or is he just really patient?

Good grief. Took me forever to remember daphne. The sweetest smell ever but such a bitch to keep living. Anyway that's what I thought w that first shrub flower in this video

so how much more unfucking is needed to bring fungal taxonomies to parity with other comparable taxonomies

Fact is every fungi is edible ONCE.

Leptosyne doctorseussassia

Alan can punt tf outa a fungus

Ironically, as with seemingly everything else, Europeans see something and just assume it must automatically be their's. That ego is just never-ending. 😂 And if I hear one more story, about how scientists just assumed something to be a certain way WITHOUT TESTING it first, then I might go throw up. The entire point of scientific study, and why I love all the fields so much, is because you are supposed to have to test and prove your hypothesis with repeatable, consistent results. You are not supposed to just assume anything without checking it FIRST! You have no opinion without evidence first! That's real science. Nothing to do with trust, belief, or any moral whatever. If you are merely "assuming", then you are not a quality scientist. You should want to learn what really is more than you care about "proving a point you want to exist".

Funny, you grow Sedum in Canada and rarely see a flower, usually grown indoors. Today is April seventh, I saw the first flowers of the year ..they are usually not due another month or more. Yellow Sedum flowers, strange ..the one species that almost never flowers outdoors here, very few varietals of Sedum do. I am really not used to seeing them in flower ..PLUS, they are first.

Im up in Butte county past whats left of Paradise, them false turkeys are just all over the downed burned quercus

Fostering a species, considered endangered in Mexico ..I found one here ..or our version, DNA sequencing will confirm or not. Major op bout to happen, harvesting Psilocybe neoxalapensis mycelial culture ..Quebec species, lil' purple and blue-skirted things. Subsequent generations, descendants of John Allen's Psilocybe allenii, growing till the second snowfall (last week of November in Quebec ..after cannabis harvest, now we have fungal foraging as well ..cannabis has to be harvested by second week of October). Anis flavoured Cantherellus (white anis Chanterelle) X Psilocybe allenii hybrids to put back ..gave 2 me, I give back. Square-capped fungi were bred with a large locally-foraged Pluteus species (DVD-sized parent specimen) ..now the Square cap X Pluteus "dikaryon" hybridisation, is being fertilised by a very red square-capped specimen. This SHOULD yield a BIGGER square-red ("square-head") cap fungal fruiting body. The pink and purple, heart-shaped Pink Pans are already in. I also have some blue "Lactarius indigo" to add to the scenery (same blue as the Quebec flag ..they paint shoes blue though ..water-soluble ..it's fine, not dye). Wood Lover's Paralysis SOLVED: Spruce Bud worms metabolise tryptamines into an unidentified compound that is toxic to the human central nervous system. One confirmation by chemical analyses, is all that remains. Have specimen in wood alcohol, Canadian resources still in hands of Muslim-eating war criminal majority.

I have decided to side-step Alan and go for the source of the problem, war criminal Stamets, that thwarted the development of fungal science by failing to ..at least pronounce the word Psilocybe. Now there are millions to correct, by sharing three easy syllables, SI-LOH-CIBE. I had to chase the bad guys by myself ..as usual, everyone watches the bully terrorise and destroy ..till the littlest person ends it.

A native spotted and is following you guys, I do not see where you think you will go without addressing those who host, defend and were victimised most during the Axis american invasion of Canada, since 2001. Please check-in with the victims first, the invading enemy will soil your hands with war crimes and tell you our compromised hospitals are safe.

Sorry to say this but if you drop the F word you have more subscribers 😉. This is great job i love the desert 🏜. It intrigued me
