Psychedelics, mind control, radiation-eating: The secret superpowers of fungi - Max G. Levy

Dig into the vast and wild world of fungi, and explore how these organisms evolved to play a range of essential ecological roles. -- The diverse fungal kingdom, which includes everything from baker’s yeast to edible mushrooms to foot infections, has long defied assumptions. Scientists estimate that somewhere between 2 and 12 million species of fungi remain undiscovered— either because they’re microscopic, live hidden within other species, or for other unknown reasons. Max G. Levy digs into the vast and wild world of fungi. Lesson by Max G. Levy, directed by Petya Zlateva, Compote Collective.

This Fish Walks on Land and Leaps for Love | Deep Look

Mudskippers are actually fish, but they sure don't act like it. They breathe using special gill chambers and absorb oxygen through their skin like amphibians. Scanning the lumpy mudscape with their periscope-like eyes, they fiercely guard their burrows and leap to impress potential mates. Find out how these land-loving fish carved out a life between sea and shore — and why their strange lifestyle might not be so strange after all. 👉 Donate to KQED, the public media station that makes Deep Look: https://donate.kqed.org/deeplook SIGN UP for Deep Look’s newsletter, Nature Unseen: https://bit.ly/NatureUnseenSignUp SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@KQEDDeepLook?sub_confirmation=1 ---+ Find a transcript on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/2001332/this-fish-walks-on-land-and-leaps-for-love ---+ More great Deep Look episodes: The Slimy Details Behind Banana Slug Mating https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VGBy04nIjA Release The Brood!
