"In fact, magic mushrooms _probably_ don't care about humans at all" I like that Dr. Hibbett is covering his bases here.
@odw32 11 місяців тому
Yeah I wonder whether it is possible that psychedelic mushrooms have had an "evolutionary leg up" because humans picked and carried them around, which allowed their spores to spread further? There's no "intent" on the mushroom's part to do that, but it might still have been a boon similar to mushrooms which "use" insects to spread their spores.
@Suiseisexy 11 місяців тому
They're very unlikely to have evolutionarily responded to our presence or cultivation of them, contrast this with marijuana which is now so genetically selected and complex that it's 3x stronger than it was when our parents were kids and has even had some of the side effects shuffled around with powerful strains shifting side-effect "load" into less noticeable symptoms like dry mouth, enough to actually cause gum disease for example, instead of making you fall asleep too much and be a lame high. So you'll buy that brand again. So the magic mushrooms that do care about humans are going to be such an absolute trip they like routinely drive people insane and probably ruin their own marketing accidentally lol, kinda like why Salvia isn't popular.

Dr. Hibbett was one of my favorite college professors. Such a chill dude and a mega nerd--someone who I truly admired and respected. He had Paul Stamets (yeah, that mushroom guy) give 2 guest lectures during my time at Clark University.

I’ve always loved mushrooms, not for the cartoony looks or the looks in general, but their role on earth. how they feed on dead trees, especially, wondering how they feast on something that big. all the different species, too. I have a bell in my front yard, and there is a mushroom growing inside. I check on it all the time, seeing how fascinating it is. my dream job is a mycologist, and I really hope I get to become one.

Mushrooms are really amazing. The way they connect trees in the wood wide web. Chanterelles are tasty and picked here in Sweden by my mom every year.. Lions mane mushrooms are incredibly tasty and stimulates neuronal growth. Probably my favorite fungus so far. They grow on trees. I would love for them to be common in our nature.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! As a Mycology enthusiast and hopefully a genuine bonafide Mycologist in the future, videos like these that clear up misconceptions and whatnot are so helpful for giving people actual reliable information on these guys and also allowing more people to be exposed and interested in them as well.

The largest mushrooms that we know of are now extinct, but they are called Prototaxites loganii and they grew approx 400 million years ago. They existed before trees and large plants, and were giant club shaped mushrooms that reached up to nearly 9 meters in some cases. They paved the way for larger plants such as trees to evolve, and created rich nutrients for future plants.
@kellylyons1038 Рік тому
There's also the giant mycelium in Oregon, but that's underground so not as exciting. However it is the largest organism on Earth so that counts for something!
