Happy Fungus Friday, here’s a super satisfying compilation of tapping and picking mushrooms. This is intended as a relaxing ASMR-type video of mushroom picking. . I tap the mushrooms for many reasons. First and foremost is that I like the sounds they make, each mushroom has a particular tone that corresponds to the specific species and maturity of the fruiting body. It is also effective for knocking off bugs and dirt before picking and helps to spread the spores (especially important if I am harvesting the mushroom to take home and eat). . This video features both edible and non-edible species. For the edible mushrooms, I take them home and cook them as food (see my UToob for recipes). For the non-edible mushrooms, I leave them in place to continue spreading their spores. . In this video I am picking mycorrhizal mushrooms directly from the ground. In a comprehensive 30 year study (“Mushroom picking does not impair future harvests” Egli, et al., 2006) , it was demonstrated that there was no statistical or significant difference between cutting mushrooms with a knife vs. picking like I do here in the video. For context, I do specifically cut some mushrooms when harvesting (like morels and polypores), but for most mushrooms it just doesn’t matter. I do trim the bottom of the stem back onto the forest floor before placing the mushroom into basket. I also do my absolute best to leave the forest floor undisturbed and pick up trash whenever I see it. Sustainable and ethical harvesting are very important to me. I usually leave ~1/3 of the edible mushrooms I find to continue dispersing their spores and ensuring healthy mycelium for future harvests. I am all for having a respectful discourse about sustainability but if you are rude to me in the comments I will ask you to read this caption; if you continue to be rude to me, you will no longer be able to access my content. Hope y’all find this entertaining, fun, and soothing in the same way I do.

Divenire was inspired by the paintings of Giovanni Segantini. The piece is for piano and string orchestra. If I have to describe how it came out, it was like sculpting a rock; suddenly from this rock there was some water coming out. It was like finding a spring of water, from a mountain ⛰ #LudovicoEinaudi #Einaudi #LikeABreath #Divenire #Piano #PianoTok #Classical #ClassicalMusic #ModernClassical #BehindTheSong #Nature #NatureTok

I would say that this piece has a sort of elliptical form; it's almost like a magical repetition of those four chords that create a very fascinating movement 🎹 #LudovicoEinaudi #Einaudi #LikeABreath #Experience #Piano #PianoTok #Classical #ClassicalMusic #ModernClassical #BehindTheSong #Nature #NatureTok

Here’s a “tap tap cronch” ASMR mega mix of mushroom types from my time in Massachusetts. I make these videos for fun but also to help expose you to many different types of mushrooms. The purpose of my content is to be both educational and entertaining. There are so many mushrooms feature in this video that I am not going to address edibility. It’s important for you to learn how to recognize basic types of mushrooms before you concern yourself with whether or not they are edible. Try asking “what is this” rather than “can I eat this”, it’s a much safer and more responsible mindset when it comes to mushroom hunting. . Whenever I post a video like this, someone will inevitably accuse me of destroying nature or otherwise harming mushrooms. As a polite reminder, mushrooms are temporary reproductive structures of the mycelium below, picking the mushroom doesn’t hurt the mycelium. In the case of edible mushrooms, I take them home to cook and eat. For non-edible mushrooms, I nestle them back into the ground, allowing them to continue spreading their spores. I am not harming nature, if anything I am paying tribute to the incredible diversity of cool mushrooms and helping to inspire others to become stewards of their environment. Please take a moment to reflect on your own practices before projecting your anger at me. My goal is, and has always been to educate and encourage others to help conserve nature. If you can’t help but leave intentionally rude or negative feedback, you will no longer have the privilege of seeing my content. MushLove y’all 🍄❤️ . #asmr #asmrnature #mushroomasmr #asmrtapping #tappingasmr #asmrtappingsounds #mycology #fascinatedbyfungi #naturetok #mycotok

How many of these mushrooms can you name? Whoever gets the most correct latin binomial names correct by the end of March will win a set of FBF stickers!

Luminous is a piece from 2020 and it belongs to a series of pieces that I wrote regularly, like a daily journal, from March to June of that year.
