Literally hundreds of videos a month that are found with keyword searches for “mushrooms”, “fungi” or “mycology” are posted to YouTube every month. Most are irrelevant to our interests but a few are worth checking out. Here are four that are worth more than a cursory look and they are posted at Fungal Visions. Fungal Visions collects and posts the best YouTube videos related to the world of fungi.

Yes that James Aurthur. Video of a talk given in 2000 in Sisters, Oregon (USA). Either you believe in the Amanita muscaria theories or you don’t but it’s fun to consider. He always has some interesting images to go along with his talks.
