I find it really cute how he brings a kneepad, because you know it gradually became a stable among his exploration necessities

I'm so glad I found you. After two failed marriages, single parenting, then unemployment during Covid with both of my parents battling cancer, it was so easy to feel my life was over. You've not only reminded me that I have been accepted into uni to study microbiology - specifically mycology - but you've shown me what I can look forward to, and I learned from you that there aren't many mycologists in Australia, which I find utterly astounding and am even more excited about my future prospects as I am in SE QLD. It may be that one day I have the honour of even meeting you personally, but for now, please know you've given one broken lady a ray of sunshine and hope, and there is an extremely enthusiastic future mycologist here just waiting to break out again, like pink slugs and fungi after a bushfire.

If you take the idea proposed by Merlin Sheldrake in his book, 'Entangled life', and we look at fungi as the farmers/cultivators of plants, this takes another level of meaning. These fungi are doing everything they can to protect their autotrophs, their food and livelihood. Is this a concept you ever use to help wrap your mind around what you are seeing? I love this content, I love the care and effort you all have made to bring this to the public. I agree, this is very inspiring, thank you.

We love Merlin's book and we like him believe that everything in nature is about symbiosis. Like the forest human beings are packed full of fungi, bacteria, viruses - some doing good some more threatening other parts of the organism but all connected to make the whole. Nature has developed so many strategies to survive and reproduce - like the pioneering plants of a forest after a disaster these fire loving fungi definitely are ancient survivors.

It's always interesting to see the fungi everywhere after a fire. After the fire usually we can find species that we didn't use to find before. Very cool the "Stone Maker Fungus". 👌 I've found Anthracobia melaloma after a big fire a few years ago, they were growing everywhere.

Listening to the cicadas singing away lets us know other life that survived... Still love your work Steve!!!! Always a pleasure to see your finds.

Did the Ant survive the fire, too? They dig deep, some of them. Anyway it's consoling to my darkest hours to know that, after we'll have destroyed and burned down our beautiful planet, fungi will be there, to rebuild it.

I really enjoyed this walk through post forest fire recovery. :D

Humans have used controlled low-intensity fires to manage their landscapes from around the world. Europeans who grew up in a climate where a fire would be destructive and scary have never understood the ecological benefits of this type of management. In California, indigenous "cultural burns" were burned before California even became a state. But without these controlled burns, fuels would build up and you get the massive and destructive wildfires that California is now becoming famous for. Cultural burns also produce more charcoal which makes our water much cleaner and healthier. They help oak trees produce more acorns, a staple food of California Indians, by fighting pests the feast on oaks. Many many species of plants and fungi have evolved around this type of fire management regiment. Sages for example germinate more in the presence of ash. Many plants create seeds that can remain viable in the soil for decades just waiting for a fire to come through before germinating. Plants like this are like a feature of the ecosystem. I think it's helpful to think of these species more like an organ of the ecosystem. Whenever the ecosystem experiences one of these fires, it has these species waiting in the soil ready to react and take advantage of the newly available nutrients. But without the indigenous cultural burn practices, these species will die off, fuel reserves will build, and wildfires become much more dangerous. They become a thing to fear rather than a thing to rejuvenate the land

The comment at the end talking of understanding how fungi help forests that will suffer increasing numbers of fires made me wonder how climate change will affect the fungi kingdom. We hear of animal and plant species increasingly at risk due to global warming but I've never heard of a fungi species listed.

Fungal spores are a major portion of the microbiology of the soil of earth and the body (alimentary tract) every animal on earth, and the root system of every plant. Fungi might even weigh more than all other life on earth. Tnx!

Hi Jeremy my understanding of the Inocybe genus is that they are generally brown (except for a purple species) with brown spores. These are white with we think white spores. Have you got a link to a similar mushroom in that genus to these ones? We sent some specimen's off to National Herbarium of Victoria in 2020 but haven't heard back re any analysis of species.
