mine is "what woulld happen if you did a line of these spores?"

Money is the least of your problems in that situation. They have to find a matching liver within a few days and livers don't grow on trees. Probably not gonna happen in time.

Uncle Xi has a Uyghur liver available in 24hours.....

@@dasja9966 it's no joke either, my father had a friend who got some bad mushrooms. he survived, but was never the same after that. if he had more than a couple of drinks Dr Jekle would turn into Mr Hyde. I remember playing a benefit, and he was on lead guitar, he launched into this amazing solo... problem was, we were trying to transition to another song... he was able to COMPLETELY ignore what everyone else was doing and play his own thing, but he only did that after a couple of drinks. fortunately, the audience never noticed and we closed our set with that. another time he showed up at our house at 9pm on a weekday, already drunk, and my father had to kick him out at 11pm, because we both had to work the next morning. He sat in the driveway and howled like a dog...! That was the last straw for my father, and he was no longer welcome.

There is another treatment that can help save the liver. It’s an extract of milk thistle seed called silibinin. The amatoxin poisons you twice. The first time, it goes through the gut and makes you feel like shit. Then it gets absorbed and somehow passed through the gut again (I don’t know the exact mechanism). People who suffer amatoxin poisoning get a temporary reprieve before the second round of symptoms. On the second pass, it gets into the liver, and if you don’t have some top notch kidneys, the liver is probably toast. Silibinin prevents the reuptake of the toxin. Some doctors have had tremendous success with it, saving six out of seven poisoned family members without the need for transplants.

it's not their expertise, it's their passion

@@chronicalcultivation It's both, passion lubricates the reception of expertise

@@Zogerpogger Ikr? I feel a brand new bromance blooming, perhaps two! The kernels of knowledge gleaned from these dude’s channels gives me a big bro-ner! *Mush luv.* 🍄‍🟫 😏

OMG Mush love thats tooo good I love it

That’s because they’d eat the wrong funghi and would be pushing up ‘schrooms by now! 🍄😵

@@ericpeterson4038 very true at least r/mycology is a solid community

Alan’s lab was the video that brought me to Crime Pays

Yep, lab tour was inspirational 👍👍

Poison Control has Alan on speed dial, he's like a superhero.

You can say that again. The man will be a legend simply based on his research into psilocybin containing fungi. He will be like Stamets and McKenna

Never mind the thing that scares me: environmentally specific toxins. Amanita have different ratios of ibotenic acid to muscimol just depending on time of year.

The man himself!!!! Yeah we realized that later this night but I forgot to put it in the captions.

So many mushrooms on that campus... when I went there I could just pick edible mushrooms in between classes.

Classic example of mycophilic vs mycophobic cultures

@@VickyDPi Good pun

No so much here in Florida tho. We get lot of them but there toixic and or landscap is vary wild , wet and dangerous so harvesting of mushroom is not really things.

Perhaps you might know the species of dry mushrooms my uncle would buy in a specialty shop here in NYC when I was a child. They were rock hard, strung on a cord and sold by the length. I remember them being quite expensive as they were imported (from Poland I believe) but the texture and flavor when they were rehydrated in various dishes was amazing. If I knew the name I’d certainly locate them as the nostalgia quotient and taste would make it worthwhile.

Keep voting in democrats lol

@@BryanHocking how about I lay with your mother on her left side to giver her a better child than you ever will be?

@@BryanHocking be like a mushroom and eat shit

Interesting, never heard of that tradition.

I thought they were sometimes left from people finding a spot for picnics and hanky panky who didn’t bother to clean up after themselves.

My dad has left a couple of those during my life.

Yeah I've come across a lot of dead dogs digging trenches for waterlines in people's back yards.

Also the dog trick, they can just get the dog to do the trick on command so it doesn't matter what he smells.

Theres seat belt cameras these days

@@wes4192 The average American is on a surveillance camera 238 times a week. So I don't doubt that seat belt cams are here.

@@capturedflame Are you guys done doing the dozens now? Good!

P.S. Seatbelts don't do their job a significant amount of the time. "According to the NHTSA, approximately 3 million injuries and 40 thousand fatalities are reported each year from seat belts that fail to perform as expected during motor vehicle collisions. During rollover accidents, failed seatbelts are one of the leading causes of serious injury or death." Nov 8, 2019

I was thinking maybe an insect had eaten into it, but I think you're right. Those do look like rodent incisor bite marks.

@@BrianOSheaPlus I remember when visiting my grandparents we’d often go on early morning foraging walks through the forest. While the adults searched for fiddleheads or “fungi du jour” my cousins and I would look for bites taken from toadstools and fairy rings the previous night. The shape would tell us whether a rodent or turtle had been the culprit and a trail of notches often led us directly to the marauding Eastern Box or Wood turtle! The smell of those mossy PA woodlands and the columns of early morning sunlight streaming through the canopy like a cathedral comprise core memories of my early childhood.

where do you find his PowerPoint lectures??

@@robbiel296 I just searched Alan’s name on KZfaq. He has done presentations for a number of mycological society functions that are super interesting. Enjoy!

@@Cylindropuntia awesome! I'm gonna check those out thanks!

Kinda funny, just the opposite here. I got turned on to this channel CPBBD a few years ago through Alan Rockefeller when he posted pics of some Psilocybe sp Joey found growing in the bay area near an apartment building under some horticultural atrocity. One of my favorite channels now. It's always great when these two pair up for a video.

Alan is actually self taught

@FilthyDankWastemanFabuless careful, we can't just have people out there having fun with their lives, they're harder to control and that makes the rest of us feel unsafe.

Oh - oh - oh - O’Riley… human parts! 😵🤣

I’ve always wanted to see those “Jack-O’ Lantern” mushrooms! Whoa.

Aykm? “Officer Joe Blo from Idaho” probably thought arresting a Rockefeller would guarantee him a chapter reserved in the history books! 🤩😂
