I’ve just started my education in mushroom identification, and have perused several KZread channels. But this video has been the most instructive I’ve come across. The structure you’ve outlined has opened my eyes to how best to describe what to look for is amazing. I’m a scientist and am always looking for ways of describing what I see. These tools that you’ve outlined will give me a structure for my notebooks. Thank you so very much to this video, which I will repeatedly watch and take notes on. I look forward to seeing much more of your channel. Keep up the awesome work!

I'm skeptical about self proclaimed scientist. Its like me saying I'm a traveling spelling bee master. Scientist that I know always have a book. At least one, usually 2 or more. Relying on you tube is lazy. Its for those of us that don't read books. I kinda read books, I order posters of mushrooms and hang them on the wall, I know good idea right? But only if it has Cortina partial value on it. This person is a really awesome teacher, I've learned a lot from her.
It is absolutely STAGGERING that fungi were not recognized as its own kingdom until the 70s and quite humbling how little we understand about those mostly invisible lifeforms that bridge the gap between micro and macro organisms making up some of the smallest and the de facto largest organisms in the entire world. As a biologist fungi are one of the few remaining frontiers in our field where you can literally make a new discovery every single day just by taking a walk in your local woods or examining a simple soil sample.
ONLY TEN MINUTES PASSED AND I ALREADY LEARNED SO MUCH???? DAMN Thank you for this! Subbed
Great video. I don't usually learn this much from mushroom videos, but it's obvious you have a love of mycology and sharing that knowledge. Thanks.

Incredible video. 4th year biology major here taking my first mycology class. Very comprehensive great production quality and great visuals. Cheers!
Having foraged with elders from a kid this video was still a brand new way of looking at the features to me. Knowing where they come from makes them pop out more and helps sort the information needed for identification. Thanks!

Wowzzers this young lady is a master she is perhaps the best biology presenter I have had the good fortune to hear in my life of interest in this most exciting field of the sciences.
WHY is this the best video on mushrooms??? WELL done!!!
I admire any person's ability to speak clearly, without vocal pauses, without reference to notes, to stay on topic, and to create a personal experience in the listener. This video has all this in spades. I can't help but wonder, if to some degree, this thoroughly interesting, well-paced, and easy listening piece, has been over some period of time, the result of psilocybin ingestions itself. I have read that mental clarity, confidence, and simple stage presence, can be augmented via psilocybin. If this is true, this is surely a great example of some of the associated benefits. A natural setting, an even more natural speaker, and voila, something so greatly in tune with the subject matter, that I cannot wait for Spring to apply what I have learned. Congrats!
Seriously, Awesome! Not too little, not too much info. Very helpful and informative! Thank you!
Incredibly comprehensive info as always. Looking forward to the rest of this season!

So delightful with clear descriptions ,great photos and deep passion flowing through it all. My 101 on Mushrooms and yes I will view it a second or third time to deepen my digestion. Thank you Lloyd, the figman of New Mexico
Great video and you are a talented teacher. Thank you!
I've learnt more from this in one hour than years of reading.
Beautifully explained and presented, thank you. My wife and I see many mushrooms in the forrest near us, but are always too unsure of what they are, so never collect and eat them. However, videos like this will help boost our self-confidence in this respect.
