I have found many 'Bleeding Tooth' fungi in my many years of mushroom hunting. We always called those Peck's Hydnum in Montana. When the humidity is right, they ooze that red liquid that smells really sweet, but weird at the same time. I was never tempted to munch on one, even as a child, when we would go mushroom hunting as a family. If we had a really wet year in the Rocky Mountains, those would be out in abundance. Otherwise, one rarely saw them. Great video. Fungi are so cool!

@@ClarksonWave To be perfectly honest, I would do about anything do get my hands on those healing products. That is really cool and I am happy for you! Those psychedelic experiences are some of the most healing for the human brain and psyche, and should be in use much more by everyone, imho. I would have no idea where to find those healing fungi except to travel down south and hunt for them myself or begin my own grow operation for those lovely blue staining Psilocybe. I don't believe they grow anywhere near me, and I would have to find someone like you have done, most likely. But very cool, and I am very happy that they are helping you out, and have been such a great experience for you. Have a great day/evening ClarksonW.

I love that those are working for you and helping you out. Psilocybe are such a great experience, and really need to be used more often than they currently are! I actually suffer from pretty severe PTSD, and I know from experience that Psilocybe are probably the best solution and remedy. Thanks again and take care. We'll see what we can do when my partner gets home. All the best to you!

Ohno, that poor Junebug with that empty body, right out of a horror movie. I did not see a fungus or mycelium, so I think, another organism was very cruel against this sweet insect. Ant those poor ants with a fungus stalk on their heads, what a terrible death. But do not forget, Fungi have a lot more pros then cons, and are indispensable for life on earth.

@hooligansteriotype 10 месяцев назад

No, that truly is a fungus. It doesn't necessarily make a "zombie" out of insects, but it does highjack their nervous system and slowly consume the insect from the inside. The mycelium is within the cavity of the insect, and what you see growing out of it is the fruiting body, in the same way you would see a mushroom popping out of the ground. The insect may be "sweet" but we cannot place moral value on nature- it defies it every time. The fungus takes over the ant to perpetuate the species, just as all other organisms do. It is a terrible death, I suppose, but in nature, this is a common occurance, and it does us no good to try to ignore it.

@TalaAtTanagra 6 месяцев назад

They're not actually that delicate. You can grow some types of mushrooms at home, especially the ones that are saprotrophic. They grow on and consume dead wood. You can buy "fruiting blocks" online and grow your own mushrooms. Some other mushrooms are mycorrhizal, meaning they grow in association/collaboration with specific trees in specific environments. You just can't reproduce those conditions at home in a controlled environment.

@cattymajiv 4 месяца назад

Exactly! That is my great fear. There is a fungi that's widespread in N America that does commonly affect dogs and people. You only need to touch soil that is infected. It grows inside you including in the head (brain too?) and does open up the skin, including that of the head. NW Ontario, around Kenora and Lake Of The Woods, has a pretty high amount of it in the soil, so experts recommend caution. I played in that area lots as a kid! I forget the name, but you can Google it. It's terrifying, and dogs are very prone to finding it!
