Fire loving fungi - the movie

Показать описание

🍄🔥The world looked on in horror as Australia burned in one of the worst bushfire seasons on record. The forest was devastated but surprisingly mushrooms started appearing within days of the fires going through. 🔥🍄

In the months after the fire fungi obsessives Stephen Axford and Catherine Marciniak documented the fungi coming up on the Mt Nardi fireground and its surprising and vital role in helping the forest regenerate after the fire.

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

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.

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.

This is really good, I hope the algorithm gives it the push it deserves

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.

The level at which fungus have an effect on the environment never ceases to amaze me, imagine over the course of history how much they've played a role through the development of the land and the life on it. We truly underestimate their role on this planet. Thank you for sharing your passion.

You have made it so clear and simple ( I'm going to root in my old bonfire later) - gardeners are told to put bonfire ash straight onto the garden, where it is more beneficial warm than cold. Some like it hot, indeed.!

I love your work, and your videos ! Big fan! Please do more videos and teach us all the things Fungi, accompanied by your beautiful photos. I’d love you teach in depth in video how to identify different Australian Fungus, and where to find them etc.
