20 of the time-lapses in the documentary "Fantastic Fungi" were created by Australian fungi photographer Stephen Axford. They feature stunning and sometimes rare mushrooms from the 'land downunder'. In this video we share some fun facts and scientific information about the mushrooms featured.

Stunning! Stephen is a legend for bringing us these images, especially after 2020's horrific bushfires here in Australia, seeing the fungi growing back was a symbol of hope.

Thank you so much - it also gave us great hope that if these fires do not occur too frequently or too savagely that the forest has developed ways to regenerate. Thank you so much for your support.

👆how is KZfaq okay with this behavior? These people target people's accounts that have public favor and shame their name by selling drugs under their comments. I've recorded every incident we are halfway to one thousand. I reported every single one. This is harassment. This whole people are selling drugs on videos where kid have access yet you better not cuse? WTF KZfaq? "🍄🍄🍄🍄💊💊💊💊" How do you not have this flagged? This is destroying wounded veterans chance at help with this medicine. I'm all for people having access to any drug they want but there is a wrong way and a right one. Colorado is doing it right. KZfaq is potentially killing dumb tweens with no friends. How could anyone be that dumb but kids? KZfaq is trash lately...

The blue mushroom is Coprinopsis pulchricaerulea. The name used in the video (Coprinopsis atrovirens) is based on Leratiomyces atrovirens which was first used as a name, but is not official due to DNA tests showing that it is closer related to Coprinopsis aesontiensis.

For most species it is observed that bioluminescent fungi attract the night insects, slugs and snails who after contact then go on to spread the spores.

Hallo Stephen. Noch nie so gesehen, Pilze imZeitraffer! wie stelle ich mir das im Wald vor? wie lange dauert diese Verwandlung? Wie macht man das in der Natur solange mit Licht ? Fragen bleiben. Solche Pilze habe ich hier in Germany noch nie gesehen.

@PlanetFungi 5 ай бұрын

Hallo Winifred. Die Zeitrafferaufnahmen entstehen meist nicht im Wald, sondern in einem Studio, das wir in einem Schiffscontainer erstellt haben. Der beste Weg, dies in Aktion zu sehen, ist in unserem neuen Dokumentarfilm „Follow the Rain“, der im März zum ersten Mal gezeigt wird und im Jahr 2024 weltweit ausgestrahlt wird. Der beste Weg, um auf dem Laufenden zu bleiben und zu wissen, wann es einen gibt Screening in Ihrer Nähe bedeutet, unseren Newsletter zu abonnieren: www.planetfungi.movie/follow-us. Vielen Dank für Ihr Interesse und Ihre Unterstützung, Catherine.

@PlanetFungi 2 жыл бұрын

Most of the fungus we all time-lapse are saprobes - meaning they grow on a substrate. That substrate - wood or mulch can be re-located to a studio - in our case half a shipping container where you can keep the light and temperature constant. You get a glimpse of it in our free video on this KZfaq channel - How to time-lapse a starfish fungus. I hope you enjoy.
