Lichens seem small. They are often overlooked. But these evolutionarily successful amalgamations of fungi, algae and cyanobacteria cover 6% of Earth's surface and have the power to create soil from bare rock, hold enormous amounts of water, make potent acids and even feed us. And in their structure is a secret that protects land and forests. In this video, we'll apply modern microscope and digi...

Riverbed Microscopic Life
Переглядів 205Рік тому
A riverbed is host to a wide variety of microscopic life. Six months ago I placed a bit of riverbed from a northern hemlock forest in a jar to create a sealed microbial ecosystem called a mesocosm. After six months in the mesocosm, that life is thriving and the ecosystem is maturing. Applying new techniques for processing microscopic footage, we will explore that life in a way you have never se...

Smell IS NOT a reliable way to identify Queen Anne’s lace/wild carrot, and rule out poison hemlock or water hemlock. Poison hemlock absolutely can have a carrot like odor at different stages of growth,and the cicutoxin in water hemlock is well established smell of carrot.
The chemicals they have been spraying for decades now have been killing everyone around the Miramichi, i've lost most of my family to cancer
The gills will never turn black correct?
What a lovely time of the year eh? I'm just starting to eye up some beaked hazel nuts at the sugar bush that I work at. Great informative video, I am subscribing right now.
Thanks! Ive tried a few processes from UA-cam and yours is the best flavourwise! The wetting process you use greatly improves fermentation!! Ive a couple of questions, if I may, tho I think I know the answers.. 1) You dont wash the leaves initially. Is that true? 2) The bottom leaves tend to be less nice looking (as you suggest). As long as theyve got no creature stuff on them, do you use them regardless? Including discolouration, dry patches, black dots on leaf?
really fantastic video.
Thank You from Colorado during a fruitful ‘24 Foraging season! Found my first ones yesterday. 🤙🏼
I gathered maybe wild carrot...but now I am afraid maybe was not that, even if mostly it seems the wild carrot. Is too dangerous and not worth the risk if mistaken it with hemlock. I put the plant in the garbage.
I'd love the recipe for mint syrup.
I think i have one these in my yard. I've tasted it...but I'm scared to try much more
In the last 2 years l've been learning about natural medicine and wild edibles. Taking my time of course and getting familiar with what works for me. I'd like to thank you for making this video and sharing as l can now help those around me learn and enjoy what l know and enjoy and help others avoid unnecessary danger. 🙏😊❤👍
this is strangely erotic
Aging the tea tastes amazing!
From watching your video, I'm nearly certain that what I found is purplestem angelica. The roots smell of carrot
From what I learned, wild carrot is found in dry, sunny areas, whereas hemlock is found in wet areas
I have this grows all over the river/forest edge near my place. I saw a bunch while harvesting Japanese knotweed. I said to myself I recognize that plant from one of my books I'm sure I can eat it but I'm not sure what part. So I'm glad I found your video
NOPE>. He's 100% correct.. Irving Control NB. An NB is the tree Farm of North America. If you are critical of Irving. You will never WORK one of the many thousand of Jobs Irving Controls. They literally bought NB and Monopolized the Atlantic Region and Squash Competition. . Our tree's are less then 80 years old. Most being 30 to 40 in the large plantations. We live in waste land. An the political parties Regardless of the Party is Controlled by the Irving Family. They are that powerful in the region. Just like a 16th Centaury British Colony.
Thank you 🙏. I’m signing up for an FSA Microloan and one crop is sunchokes. I live in Hawaii so food security is a big deal.
I’m going to try it here in MAINE. I love foraging thanks for great information.
This was hands down the most helpful video I've found on these beautiful plants. I was able to identify what is growing in my wildflower garden with confidence. Thankfully, its wild carrot. I had really begun to believe it might be one of the hemlocks. The hollow stem and smell were the clue. I will head out again and check the back of the leaves. But I'll be subscribing as you were so clear and thorough. Many thanks!
I hit the subscribe button when I heard you talking about using the berries with the deer meat. That's pretty neat, and I'd like to give it a try. I planted a Mountain Ash a couple weeks ago. Hopefully, I'm not too far South (Arkansas) for it to grow. It came in the mail as bare root, and currently, it has not leafed out...

What is the mushroom at 0:12 ?
me and my uncle found one dead on the 101 by the old dump back in the 90s between Sackville and mountuniack.
I love how you call them cartels. lol
Clear cutting is big corporations answers to the bottom line for profit today and fuck tomorrow jobs and prosperity
Who is worse? Amazon clearcutters or Irving?
While on my way to the airport from Lunenburg County 10 years ago, a large cat crossed in front of my vehicle on highway 103 near the Blandford exit. It was in October, dark, approx. 4:00 A.M. but because it was caught in my headlights, I had a good look at it. It was in full run and turned it's head toward my vehicle as it crossed. It wasn't a house cat, being about 6 ft. in length, tail included, and it wasn't a Bobcat or a Lynx. I saw what I saw.
Change your smoke detector battery
Wonderful video, thanks. What a fascinating killer this organism is!
I dispise clearcuts.! Wouldnt purchase a house anywhere near one.! And if an azzH clearcut up to my property i'd move.!
People needed jobs.... So they plant the tree's that are worth the money.......... Then they cut the tree's........ So now it's goNe.! What Now Bud.......!
Been that way for a long long time. And if the forests are left uncut/un-managed ..... there will be lots of forest fires and it will burn. Then they will scream climate change..... they will make new tax's and laws to take away more of your freedom and money/wealth.
As a life long NB resident, the answer is easy. Thank the IRVING corp/ family
This is such a necrobump, but I know for sure the was a mountain lion in Orangedale, Cape Breton Island. I heard the roar one night, they woke us up. It was the single loudest roar I have ever heard, DEFINITELY mountain lion. You can't convince me otherwise, nothing else sounds like a roar from that kind of cat, it's distinctly unique.
yall are nuts, there is more convincing footage of bigfoot, these are domestic cats videoed at a distance with no clear references for scale, we are a stupidly small province, if there were a population here capable of sustaining itself, there would be cell phone or trail cam images that clearly show the animal, and if not there would absolutely be many pictures of identifiable tracks
I have lived in New Brunswick since 2021 and have noticed allot of the forests being removed.. Part of the reason for retiring to New Brunswick was how they use to look after the forests only to find out it Use To wasn't the case anymore. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I live on Route 390 in Rowena and the forests all around me are being removed but it is how they are being removed that bugs me the most. Trees taken out late winter early spring leaving deep ruts in the forest stumps everywhere debris left to ro. Not what I expected. And then I get comments look at the view now what view the tress along 109 are gone too it is just a patchwork of destruction all over.
You're missing out on an entire wealth of healing by ignoring Amanita. The A Muscaria family is a phenomenal medicinal mushroom and it looked like that might have been an A regalis,, aka the forest king. But you do you... I guess we only grow to the extent that we allow fear to rule our lives. 🤷♂️

Excellent explanation behind the mystery of “fairy rings”. Thank you!
Lol the intro kinda sounds like the voice Elsa hears from Frozen 2
massive clear cuts between Oromocto and Saint John
I really enjoy your video, we found some albatrellus, but not sure if they are ovinus or confluences..can we ask you questions? thank you Zoey
One peice will not kill you. It takes a 50 gram mushroom or 21mg of extract.
do you have to peel the sunchokes before eating?
Found a couple this morning growing along side some Guessowii.
Look, with 300+ different types of Boletes in North America almost 2/3 have RED in them or develop red pores... about 1/2 stain blue at varying speeds and while some "may" give you an upset tummy ...all are edible when cooked and none are lethal.
I had no idea. Thank you. I assume that water hemlock grows in the vicinity of water, of which we have very little, if any ,in dry Italy. I pick Queen Ann's Lace all the time here. I think I'd better take a closer look.
How did you come up with your narration??? There's something ethereal about it.
The only place that actually explained it very well, thank you so much for the video you made learning this, awesome
Very detailed. Thank you. A lot of videos talk a lot, but don't give as much detail.
