David Attenborough encounters a parasitic fungi that lives off the plants it inhabits. His search goes deeper to discover the huge underground threads that keep fungi alive.

In contrast with the saprotrophic fungi, parasitic fungi attack living organisms, penetrate their outer defenses, invade them, and obtain nourishment from living cytoplasm, thereby causing disease and sometimes death of the host. Most pathogenic (disease-causing) fungi are parasites of plants.

From Kingdom of Plants Season 1 Episode 3, "Solving the Secrets": this series, narrated and presented by Sir David Attenborough, documents the world of plants, from the strangest to the most beautiful. Plus, a look at how plants change their biology to adapt to the changing seasons, and ensure their survival.

    You can never get over how relaxing it is to listen to David Attenborough’s voice all these years later. What a legend, especially knowing most of us heard his narrations when we were way younger. David the GOAT 👌🏾
  • @bigmacstack3468
    David is a great presenter, not just because he’s knowledgeable, but also because he’s such a fun-gi.
  • @TheDekramer
    Bro I get a jump scare literally every time the "Nature Bites" thing pops at the end.
  • Fungus is almost as impressive a Sir Attenborough himself. I love learning from such an iconic narrator. And to think he is still working at 95 (approaching 96!). Thanks for all the entertaining and educational media, you have, and continue to produce Sir David Attenborough. 🤟
  • @garrettthum6238
    Absolutely the best narrator for anything and everything nature. His humbleness and vocabulary go hand in hand. I only wish that he was immortal and had many more years left to continue educating people of the barbaric things that are happening to our planet! He can pull you in and keep your attention for long lengths of time on any subject. I could sit and watch his shows forever. You can learn a lot from folks like David Attenborough.

    Sir David is such an amazing man. I feel so lucky to have been able to live during the same time as him. Growing up with his educational material has been a huge privilege.
  • I love sir David Attenborough! Meeting him,or even going on a nature walk with him,has always been somewhere at the top of my bucket list!😎
  • Endless generations of people will be able to understand the Natural World that much better with Video and David Attenborough commenting.
  • @FactStorm
    May Attenborough live on for a very long time. This man is a gem for human civilization - one full of myth, superstition and pseudoscience. People like him are needed..
  • @EdugeBDroN
    What will the world be without Mr. Attenborough
  • @stynkus
    I'm on a Sir David Awesomeborough youtube kick and I can't stop!
  • @deanest89
    I think all of your videos need to be retitled when Sir David Attenborough is in them. He is a "Sir" after all and should be announced correctly. Especially with all the marvelous this he has done for us all. I thank you Sir David Attenborough.
  • @HubsiCube
    I heared, that David Attenborough has an excellent humor - he seems to be a pretty fungi.
  • @mrorigen
    I love the loud jumpscares at the end of each of these calming videos
