Your video’s are so clear and understandable even for amateur mycelium enthousiasts like me. You make me more hungry for the vast knowledge there is about nature. Im really grateful for that! Cheers from The Netherlands! (Ps Sorry about the Dutch elm disease)😂

For as much as people appreciate your knowledge, I'd also like to acknowledge the time and effort that goes into producing these videos. For as much much work as my simple videos are, I can see how much more you put into yours. Well done, and much appreciated.

I saw the Asian Beauty Fungus in 1996 in the Red River Gorge. That was my first of many camping trips that my family and I took. I needed to get some fire wood and that dead oak tree was right there were we where and i put a piece in the fire. It really stunk so bad that I discarded the rest. So don't burn it. Thanks for sharing and keeping us informed

12:00 something about Dutch elm disease: here in Ireland the beetles spreading it are only attracted to trees of a certain height, because the beetle flies at that height in search of trees to lay it's eggs. Thus only trees of medium maturity are effected. Elm is also a natural coppice, meaning it regrows from the rootstock ( like hazel). Also that is their preferred method of reproduction, as opposed to seed. That results in narrow genetic diversity, which in term made the species even more susceptible to the fungus. This means in an area of high elm density coppicing can be one way if combating the disease, because the beetle will not seek out these younger,lower trunks. I don't know if that is the case for all the beetle varieties spreading DED, but it's food for thought. Anyone have any corrections or extensions to this information, you are very welcome to please share with us. Thx for your programmes, love this channel.

Here in New England, there is no shortage of American Elms. It's just that they aren't typically 'long' lived anymore (they can live to 150+). I've seen a dozen in the last few decades topping 80 feet (most dead now). They produce seed for so many decades before they die. We have a lot of diversity, it's a common tree, almost weedy- that hasn't helped the older trees resist the fungus as far as I can tell (they used to live to about 400 years). From my population genetics course, I'd guess that the death of the older trees has had little genetic effect on the population genome- there was no bottleneck or survivor effect (most of the street trees killed outright were clonal), and novel helpful mutations will almost always be lost to genetic drift in an established community without one. The mathematics showing this are a lot of 'fun' for a biologist. Otherwise, my observations are unscientific and only based on the Elm trees I observe daily/weekly/monthly/yearly over the decades, and the fact that all the big ones still die infested- which is sad. Most of where I live in Maine is forested and not tended, I don't know what it's like where you live in Ireland (shout out to my newly discovered cousins in Wicklow!), I really don't what it's like there. : )

@@troyclayton Here in Ireland elm used to be the most common tree (Ash, Sycamore and Hawthorne alongside) , now they are all but gone. Many people believe they are all dead, because, as with yee, they never reach full maturity. I am however very observant on these things and I do see them around. All the young trees grow from rootstock of former elm, which is the most common way of propagation as I pointed out before. Elm here also used to produce plenty seed, but they rarely succeeded regeneration from those seed. I don't now if that's the case with you over in the US. Maybe someone knows more about seed viability over there? One thing I can add with certainty: coppicing only work from a girth of at least 4-5 inches to usually 8-10 inches. The bigger the girth, generally speaking, the lower the chances of success. This is simply due to the fact that the stumps of bigger trees have core wood and between that being somewhat lifeless and incapable of warding of decomposing organisms and the sheer size of the wound they cannot close the wound and the decomposition will continue all the way down into the roots until the whole tree is finally dead. That being said, those bigger rootstocks may initially yield some new shoots, even 10-15 years, but then they to die of along they're "mother" tree( it's the same tree, of course). That's why I opt for coppice management. If the disease slows down or meets it's detriment in any other way the elm wins. And the canes you get from coppice typically reaches 4-7 inches before recoppicing. Now those can be useful enough building materials, firewood or not least wonderful mushroom substrates. I advocate working with the elm in such a manor until we can overcome the disease and hopefully we should restore the elm population in all it's beauty.

Sir,you are a walking Encyclopedia of valuable info..THANK YOU,. BLESSINGS 🙏🙏👍👍( when I got this home 8 yrs ago, 30 miles east of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma , there were " several death caps" growing 4 foot from front door in the well maintained flower garden.. I quickly dug up,put in fresh soil..)

Just heard about this fungi. Talk about synchronicity!!! Thanks for this Adam! Love your work. From Vermont

Soooo, the question is...is it eatable?

I actually admire you for all you do here. You are one of the pivotal ppl who inspired me to be mushroom mad.

Excellent information. I appreciate your time and energy. Stay awesome Adam

Great video, as always! Thanks Adam.

I just saw this one today! A warm mid January day in northern Connecticut. Thanks.

Love 🤗 your channel !

Thank you Adam. I’ve encountered this many times in NW Jersey and my friend insisted it was lions mane and I knew it wasn’t, but couldn’t pinpoint it until now. You’re so good at teaching this, love your videos!

Thanks Adam for keeping us informed on the various mushrooms that grow here and around the world, as well as their impact on the ecosystem. Your videos are nothing but the best for anyone that is looking to get into the civilian scientist side of mycology. Currently I am moving forward with growing lions' mane then will move on to various other mushrooms that are choice edible as well as ones that contain medicinal properties. May the force be with you ! :)

i swear i've seen this here in mass - will look for it from now on. cool vid! loved seeing the spores

Loved the bit about microscopy. More please. I'm looking for my first microscope and interested in what you might have to say about scope for beginning the journey. I'd say I want to find one under $500 if at all possible. Love your content, keep up the hard work my friend.

Thank You for making these videos So informative and interesting

Very informative video. Thank you!

Cool, I took a bunch of pictures of these on a fallen tree in the woods near here in Lancaster County. Nice to know what they are, and that your discussion of invasives was nuanced. The book I am working on will have a section on a 3rd way forward when approaching invasives.

Thanks for the mini taxonomy lesson @ 4:12 and the microscopy lesson (which was going to be my next request)

excellent video. im looking forward to venturing out for quality mushrooms.

Fantastic Lecture. 👍

Completely thrilled that you've incorporated some microscopy into your terrific vids! Well done. @wesfree

Great video, Adam. Another example is the introduced Suillus luteus that can be common in pine plantations.

So very interesting. Adam,you are the mushroom go to guy. Such a passion for mycelium! I'm stuck in Chicago and waiting to get back to Florida. Still hope to send you a pkg. Been rough. You never mentioned if they werr edible or poisonous. I like seeing fungi that isnt the typical stem/cap.

I'm not a mycohead but I just love these videos! Especially the proper pronunciation of Latin words and using metric.

As always informative and somehow entertaining 🤔

awesome as always ^^

Please let us know when you have your own cable show (great video)

Guys like this are the backbone of the internet; keep making it awesome for posterity

I have not come across it here in the UK thanks for the video very interesting topic.

Haven't seen it here in NS yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

I've watched so many of your videos without subbing so I'm subbed now. Love the videos, your videos are my right at my speed. I used to pick and eat plants as s kid and once hallucinated from chewing on Sumac when I was 7 or 8. I don't think sumac does what it did but everyone (Mom and Dad lol I wasn't even 10 yet) everyone said that's why I saw an alien in the shower.

Interesting. I personally havent noticed this in eastern PA, but then I can certainly say Ive never looked either. I will definitely keep an eye open next time I hike through a likely area. Ill need to find out its growing cycle. Year round or winter with this cold damp that we've been having? Thanks.

Great video. I have tons of Japanese barberry bushes in the woods all around me. They're literally every where and making woods impassable. Although the deer do like that fact.

@Dede Tudor that would be good if it were just my property, unfortunately I live long island so there's very few natural habitats around and that where these bushes have been growing. I encounter them hunting and hiking. I've seen parts where people never go and for 100 yards square that's all there is. That natural barrier could potentially mean we can't hunt and therefore control the deer population which would result in mass disease, starvation, and vehicular incidents. Not to mention lyme is already a huge problem here. Very invasive this plant is indeed.

Thank you for another wonderful video. I've looked into getting a microscope before but have been somewhat overwhelmed with the choices. Could you someday do a video on microscopes? How you use them and what you might recommend to amateur mycologists with varying price points... that would be fantastic.

You seem to be well-versed in mycological lore, Adam! I have been searching about for information on various mycorrhizal fungi .. Ectomycorrhizal, Arbuscular, and ericoid in particular. I know that morel mushrooms form associations with some arbuscular mycorrhizal plants (but perhaps not all?) - what are some other edible mushrooms that form mycorrhizal connections - do any of them do dual duty, serving both arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal plants, for example?

Hello Adam, With this "Asian Beauty Fungi" KZread video, you have once again treated us to another one of your in-depth and fascinating mycological lectures. There is one aspect that you usually spend a good amount of time covering: the medicinal properties of the particular fungus that you showcase. Are there any medicinal claims, either scientific or anecdotal, associated with Radulomyces confluens (Asian Beauty)? I am curious, due to Asian Beauty's similar appearance (e.g., "toothy," "waxy," "gelatinous") to analogous fungi, such as Hericium erinaceus (lion's mane), Hericium coralloides (bear's head), Artomyces pyxidatus (coral), Tremella fuciformis (white jelly), Sparassis crispa (cauliflower), and Auricularia auricula-judae (Juda's ear), which are widely reputed to contain medicinal properties.

Haven't seen it in the central Pennsylvania areas that we forage around yet but we might not have noticed everything.

Thank you, pretty sure I just found this today (2-12-2020) in West Central IN.

Oh my gosh. I had no idea these were so SMALL! They look so big and majestic in some photos.

Great discussion of invasive species. Unfortunately or fortunately our environment is in a constant state of change and the challenge to us is to adapt to and learn from these changes.

Hey Adam did you just get the microscope? It’s so nice to see microscopy included in the video!

Very well presented, thanks. Does the Beauty fungi produce an inhibiting factor to promote its own localized spread?

Found this awhile ago walking in the woods in West Michigan.

Thank you for the knowledge and passion as always :) I appreciate the clarity on "invasive" species. It seems like much is up for debate around this. I truly do not believe a mushroom can be invasive. How can we can call it invasive if it is also ectomycorrhizal? Also who's to say there weren't amanita muscaria somewhere else in South America that was previously undocumented? How can we have such confidence to say something was not there before us?

You like a walking wild edible encyclopedia. Thanks for the videos.

DUDE I am probably gonna binge watch your mycology related videos...

I found this this summer! In Connecticut

Found this fungi here in North Eastern Pennsylvania.

I sent an email about the invasive Golden Oyster to you, which at the very least is delicious, It seems to have escaped from people cultivating them in this country, it may however force out the regular Oyster mushroom..

We have them on oaks in Beaufort SC

Nevertheless, in practice, "micron" remains a widely used term in preference to "micrometre" in many English-speaking countries, both in academic science (including geology, biology, physics, and astronomy) and in applied science and industry (including machining, the semiconductor industry, and plastics manufacturing).[citation needed] Additionally, in American English, the use of "micron" helps differentiate the unit from the micrometer, a measuring device, because the unit's name in mainstream American spelling is a homograph of the device's name. In spoken English, they may be distinguished by pronunciation, as the name of the measuring device is invariably stressed on the second syllable, whereas the systematic pronunciation of the unit name, in accordance with the convention for pronouncing SI units in English, places the stress on the first syllable. 🤗

It looks like Lion's Mane but with shorter spikes. I'm not sure it is invasive, that species might have always been out there but only now people started to notice it. Fungus are not like animal or plants, they are not kept restricted to a piece of land or continent. They travel by hair hundreds or thousands of kilometers.

Thank You! very well explained! I have taken many photos of this fungi on a living Oak tree in the park near me. Does this aid in killing the tree?

I have that on my live oak tree outside right now. Northeast Texas

Also Armillaria, honey mushroom in the northwest. I forget which species. But I know they fight it with sulfur tuft, hypholoma fasciculare.

I have yet to see the Fly Ageric mushroom (red) but I see a lot of Yellow Fly Ageric mushroom and I would guess that they might associate with 5-Needle Pine OR Hemlock. Interesting stories about their use (by Viking medicine men) to produce a Beserker activity (not disclosed in the Tim Robbins film Eric the Viking).
