00:00The Megaten is about to begin!
00:05Megaten, Megaten, Megaten, Megaten!
00:11This is a series where we create a natural observatory where you can feel the charm of living creatures.
00:17Aim for the Forest of Living Creatures!
00:21The Megaten
00:24The Megaten is located in Tsumagoi Village, Gunma Prefecture, in northern Asamayama Prefecture.
00:31It is a 3-hectare forest with a height of 1100 meters.
00:38The Megaten has been under investigation for more than a year to develop a natural observatory.
00:44Up until now, the Megaten has had beautiful wings, green spores,
00:49and a mysterious relationship with their habitat,
00:54such as Musasabi, which flies in the dark.
01:00We were able to see a variety of living creatures.
01:05In fact, last fall, specialists of various living creatures gathered in the forest.
01:12When you touch the air, the meat turns blue.
01:16Wow!
01:18That's amazing!
01:19That fast?
01:20The Bug Boys are also full of surprising information.
01:23I've never seen this before.
01:25And a moment of art created by nature.
01:33Today's Megaten is the 10th episode of Aim for the Forest of Living Creatures.
01:38It's great to see a variety of specialists from different angles.
01:43It's fun to see a variety of specialists from different angles.
01:48I don't know much about plants and mushrooms,
01:53but I learned a lot from the experts.
01:56I was happy to hear that the experts praised the forest of living creatures
02:01for being a great field for observing mushrooms.
02:04Let's take a look at what they discovered.
02:08September, 2024.
02:11Nice to meet you.
02:12Nice to meet you, too.
02:14Wow, that's a lot of people today.
02:16That's right. I brought everyone from my department.
02:19Wow, that's amazing.
02:22NPO BIRTH, which manages the largest installation park,
02:27has been cooperating with Mr. Kubota and Ms. Funaki
02:31for a long time.
02:35This time, we have a large gathering of experts from various fields.
02:40We have a lot of animals that we specialize in,
02:43so we have Kanemoto, who oversees insects and other animals.
02:47Nice to meet you, Kanemoto.
02:49And Saita, who oversees insects and animal hunting.
02:52Nice to meet you.
02:54And Tomita, who oversees wild birds.
02:56Nice to meet you, Tomita.
02:58And Yamashita, who oversees aquatic life.
03:00Nice to meet you.
03:02And Hachisuka, who oversees mushrooms and other animals.
03:05Nice to meet you.
03:07It's really NPO BIRTH AVENGERS!
03:13This time, each team will observe and report an hour later.
03:21Mr. Takeshi will investigate wild birds with Mr. Tomita, who is familiar with birds.
03:27While walking in the forest,
03:29all of a sudden!
03:32Oh, there's something amazing here.
03:35It's a golden feather.
03:37This is amazing.
03:42For some reason, there are a lot of feathers on the ground.
03:45Wow, it's big.
03:48I'm curious, but we will announce the details at the report meeting.
03:54On the other hand, Mr. Hirai will investigate aquatic life with Mr. Yamashita, who is familiar with aquatic life.
04:00And then...
04:03Oh, there's a golden feather.
04:05I knew it.
04:06A golden feather is growing.
04:08This plant is called a golden feather because it prefers a cold environment where water flows.
04:17In Tokyo Prefecture, the golden feather is extinct in 23 prefectures, Tama, Hokubu, and Nambu.
04:26This name was given because it blooms like a plum in summer.
04:35In addition, we found something like a mysterious vine.
04:38We will introduce this in detail later.
04:42Mr. Hoshito will investigate mushrooms with Mr. Hachisuka, who is familiar with mushrooms, and Mr. Saita, who is familiar with mammals.
04:53That pink mushroom is a little prettier.
04:57It stands out.
04:59It's called Potogenic.
05:00It smells like kobe.
05:02It seems to have a unique smell, but what is it?
05:07Can I smell it?
05:08Yes, please.
05:12It smells like a beetle.
05:16It has a unique and a little sour smell.
05:22The smell of this beetle is one of the features of Nioiko Benitake.
05:29In addition...
05:31There is the strongest poisonous mushroom in history.
05:36Is this the strongest in history?
05:39It is called the Destroying Angel in English.
05:45It is exactly the same as Tamagotake.
05:48It is an angel of destruction.
05:51Although it looks cute, it is a terrible mushroom that can destroy liver and kidneys just by eating one.
06:00In addition...
06:02I haven't seen this mushroom for decades.
06:07The expert also found a very exciting mushroom.
06:10What kind of mushroom is it?
06:14And Mr. Kanemoto, who specializes in insects, conducted an independent survey.
06:20An hour after the start of the survey, they gathered again and started reporting.
06:26I walked for about an hour looking for a bird.
06:30I found feathers of other species, so I'm a little worried.
06:34Wow.
06:35This is the feather of a bird found in the forest earlier.
06:40This is amazing.
06:41The fungus is dead here.
06:44It's big.
06:46This is pretty big.
06:51When I lined up the feathers that I had collected, there was a considerable amount.
06:58What kind of bird is it?
07:00Mr. Kanemoto.
07:02The next day, he compared it with a picture book.
07:05This is a beehive.
07:07I think you can see the pattern on the side of the beehive.
07:14I think you can see that this big beehive is irregular.
07:20This feature is the feature of the beehive feathers.
07:25So this feather is a beehive.
07:27It's a beehive.
07:28I didn't know that.
07:31It's a beehive.
07:36Mr. Hirai, is there a scene you want to see in a beehive?
07:39Yes, there is.
07:40I want to see the scene of attacking a hornet.
07:47I want to see it.
07:51What did the insect team find next?
07:58It's beautiful.
08:00There is a leopard pattern inside.
08:03It's true.
08:04It's a member of the leopard butterfly.
08:06There are many types of leopard butterflies in high altitudes.
08:10It has a light green glow.
08:13It's a type of green leopard butterfly.
08:17The green leopard butterfly prefers a place where there is a bright boundary between the forest and the grass.
08:24What's next?
08:26I found a beautiful beehive.
08:28I'd like to introduce it to you.
08:31It's called Takane Beehive.
08:33Takane Beehive.
08:34It's a type of beehive in high altitudes.
08:39It's beautiful.
08:40It has a golden glow.
08:42It's amazing.
08:45Takane Beehive prefers a place where there is a bright boundary between the forest and the grass.
08:50I'd like to leave the environment where Takane Beehive lives.
08:54But I'd like to find a place where there is a bright boundary between the forest and the grass.
09:00If there is a combination of the environment, the number of species will increase.
09:04What's next?
09:05It's the aquatic life team.
09:07The aquatic life team also found a wild goose, a larva of the beehive.
09:13We found a wild goose, which is thought to be a member of the Sanae Beehive.
09:18It's a little small, so it's difficult to mate in this state.
09:23Everyone knows well.
09:24Sanae Beehive prefers a stream of water.
09:28It is selected as one of the two extinct species in Gunma Prefecture.
09:33In fact, it was often seen in the forest of living things.
09:41It can be seen in the video of Mr. Hirai that it is well reproduced in the forest of living things.
09:49Oh!
09:51And what is the true identity of the wild goose we found earlier?
09:59This is a member of the Sanae Beehive.
10:03I'll give you an egg.
10:07This is called a Sanae Beehive.
10:09There is a larva here.
10:12Is it wrapped in leaves?
10:14That's right.
10:15It is wrapped in leaves and lives in a tube-shaped leaf.
10:21It wanders around the house with the leaves and looks for food.
10:26It is also caught in a comfortable place.
10:29It's like a beehive.
10:31That's right. It may be close to a beehive.
10:33It doesn't come out of the beehive.
10:35Depending on the species, some wild geese make a house by solidifying fine sand instead of leaves.
10:45If you can see them, you can see that the water quality of the river flowing here is pretty clean.
10:52After this, interesting information about mushrooms will be revealed.
10:59And what about the mushroom team?
11:03We found a lot of species.
11:06I think there were about 30 or 40.
11:09This is a mushroom called Irogari, a member of the Iguchi family.
11:14It is a mushroom with a strong discoloration.
11:16When you touch the air, the meat turns blue.
11:21It's like this.
11:23Wow!
11:24So fast?
11:25It has a great feature.
11:28It's a food.
11:29Even if it's poisonous, it's delicious if you put it in a stew.
11:33Is it delicious?
11:36In fact, Mr. Hachisuka is a mushroom expert who is shown the cooking of wild mushrooms and publishes books.
11:45However, you need to be very careful when eating wild mushrooms.
11:50Is there a point to distinguish between poisonous mushrooms?
11:55No, there isn't.
11:57In the old days, if you put a spoon in a stew and it turns black, it's a poisonous mushroom.
12:03If you split it vertically, you can eat it.
12:06Unfortunately, there is no way to eat it like this.
12:13Now, Mr. Hachisuka will introduce three mushrooms.
12:19This is it.
12:21Wow!
12:22It looks like a rapa.
12:23It's a black rapa mushroom.
12:25Black rapa?
12:26Yes, as its name suggests.
12:28Wow!
12:29I haven't seen it for about 20 years.
12:33I've seen it many times before, but I've always seen it in Mt. Fuji.
12:38It was on the slope where there was a dead end and there was no place to fall.
12:41It is thought that the black rapa mushroom here is formed by sticking to the roots of the karamatsu that grow nearby.
12:50When trees and mushrooms co-exist, they exchange nutrients with each other, which is said to have the effect of stabilizing and encouraging growth.
13:00If you put it in an omelette, it's yellow and black, and the color is beautiful.
13:04It's a little like a jellyfish.
13:06It's a little crispier.
13:11There is a thin mushroom with a similar shape, but this one is poisonous, so it cannot be eaten.
13:19The next mushroom we found is...
13:21Oh, there are a lot of them.
13:23Wow!
13:25Wow!
13:27What kind of mushroom is this?
13:28This is a mushroom called naratake.
13:31It is often said to break down naranoki.
13:34It is one of the most popular edible mushrooms in the Northeast.
13:38I think the basics of mushroom cooking are to make mushrooms with a strong taste.
13:43This is the one I definitely want to put in.
13:45Oh!
13:46This is the base of the taste, and other mushrooms with good color and texture come in.
13:51However, it is important that this mushroom has a strong taste.
13:57That's how much it's a treasure for mushroom cooks.
14:04This naratake also has poisonous mushrooms such as poison ivy,
14:09and it is necessary to be careful because it is often mistaken for eating and causes food poisoning.
14:16And finally...
14:18This is the most valuable mushroom we found today.
14:23It has a good taste, a good texture, and a very good smell.
14:28It's called oichotake.
14:30It's the one that spreads out behind the sumo wrestler.
14:35I like takebayashi.
14:37I also like the combination of shinyouji and kouyouji.
14:42Mureoichotake, which looks similar, has a strong smell and requires tips to cook.
14:50We found a lot of other interesting mushrooms.
14:56Why is that?
14:59Why are there so many?
15:02If you look over there, you can see small mountains.
15:06There are small mountains all over the place.
15:09They are about 10 meters high.
15:13There are many small changes in the terrain.
15:16There are many kinds of young trees that are 50 years old.
15:22There are many small groups.
15:25If you look at it in a basic way, I think it's a very good field for observing mushrooms.
15:32We were able to discover and learn new things by having experts from various fields come here.
15:40The experts are amazing.
15:43There are many roads because there are many mountains.
15:46Mushrooms don't come out unless the sun comes in.
15:50There are many roads.
15:52There is a kind of mushroom called dokutsurutake.
15:55It's the same as tamagotake.
15:58It's good for people who make mistakes.
16:00It's important to be with people you know.
16:03I want you to be careful.
16:05Takehisa, there were many interesting creatures.
16:08Takane of Takane-tombo is Takane of Takane-no-hana.
16:13It was shiny and beautiful.
16:18I was impressed by the momentary art created by creatures.
16:26The next day, Funaki, who specializes in plants, discovered something.
16:31It's bigger than my height.
16:36This is a grapefruit.
16:40It's a fruit.
16:42It's not a bud.
16:44It's a fruit.
16:45It's after the flower is over.
16:47It was blooming.
16:51Grapefruit is a plant that likes a slightly damp and dim forest.
16:57Flowers bloom in July and August.
17:00Many flowers bloom from one grapefruit.
17:06This grapefruit is unique in its dry state.
17:10I decided to look at it again in November two months later.
17:14Then, the fruit of the grapefruit was dry.
17:19I heard a sound.
17:21It flew.
17:22Seeds came out.
17:25It's flying.
17:27It's interesting.
17:29Grapefruit is interesting.
17:33The seeds are packed in the fruit.
17:38When a deer or other animals collide with a dry grapefruit,
17:42the seeds scatter in shock.
17:45It's beautiful.
17:49A thin film wraps the seeds one by one.
17:53It serves as a bud and flies the seeds far away.
18:01September 2024
18:05I'd like to introduce you to a pomegranate.
18:09There is a vine plant entwined with this tree.
18:14It's a small kiwi.
18:16It's a fruit.
18:18If you look at the top, you can see that it's about 3 cm in diameter.
18:25I'm sure you've eaten this before.
18:28It's a native fruit of kiwifruit.
18:33Kiwifruits are cultivated to improve the quality of the fruit.
18:41If you take a look at it,
18:46it doesn't just look like a kiwifruit.
18:51If you split it, you can use it.
18:55How is it?
18:57It's a kiwi.
19:00It looks delicious.
19:02It smells like a kiwi.
19:08It's sweet.
19:11It's as soft as a kiwi.
19:20It's really delicious.
19:23It's a kiwi.
19:25It's an illusion.
19:27It's delicious.
19:29Did you eat the skin?
19:31Yes, I did.
19:33It's like a grape.
19:35If you chew the skin, it becomes a sour kiwi.
19:39I see.
19:41The name comes from the fact that monkeys eat it all.
19:45We thought we were going to eat it, but it's gone.
19:48It's called Salunashi.
19:51Let's see if monkeys really eat it all.
19:57When we set up the trail camera,
20:00there were a lot of birds that seemed to be dead.
20:07There were also large mammals that seemed to be raccoons.
20:15Salunashi seems to be very popular with the animals in the forest.
20:21What's next?
20:23There is a very beautiful plant that represents this forest.
20:28It's the season of flowers, so I'd like to introduce it to you.
20:34This is a plant called Akebono.
20:39It's white at the bottom and has flowers about 2 cm long.
20:45It's beautiful.
20:47It's very beautiful.
20:49There are black dots on the white leaves.
20:52The white leaves look like stars in the morning sky.
20:57That's why it's called Akebono.
21:02In order to enjoy a humid grassland,
21:05the number of Akebono is reduced by development and collection.
21:08In Tokyo and Saitama, Akebono is selected as an extinct species.
21:13I haven't seen Akebono that often.
21:17There are a lot of places to see Akebono in this forest.
21:23I think it's a rare forest.
21:29I observed the flowers closely.
21:33An ant is coming to lick the flowers.
21:36That's right.
21:38It seems that honey is coming out of the yellow circle at the tip of the petals.
21:44There is honey in the center of the flower.
21:48I often see butterflies and bees there.
21:53By putting honey in an easy-to-lick position,
21:56you can predict the effect of calling ants and protecting yourself from insects.
22:03It's a representative plant that colors autumn.
22:09We were able to find a lot of new places where you can feel the season.
22:16I'm looking forward to it.
22:18There are a lot of new information about plants.
22:21It's wonderful.
22:23It was fantastic to see the seeds of the Ubayori fluttering.
22:27I felt that the beauty changes depending on the season.
22:31Mr. Hirai brought flowers of the Ubayori today.
22:35Flowers of the Ubayori are coming out of the forest of living things.
22:38Please take it in your hand.
22:41It's already coming out.
22:43When the wind blows, it becomes like this.
22:46There are a lot of flowers.
22:48It's amazing.
22:50It's a nice sound.
22:52It's amazing.
22:54There are a lot of flowers.
22:57There are a lot of flowers.
22:59How many flowers do you want to have?
23:01Slice garlic.
23:05How many years does it take for flowers to bloom?
23:07I looked it up. I think it was 7 years.
23:097 years?
23:117 years until the flowers bloom.
23:13Until then, it was just leaves.
23:177 years for flowers to come out.
23:19When the flowers bloom, there are no leaves.
23:21Because there are no leaves, there are no leaves.
23:25Because there are no leaves, there are no leaves.
23:30It was interesting.
23:32Next time.
23:34Next time is the science of sightseeing train.
23:36A sightseeing train that has a new instruction for a leisurely travel style.
23:41There was an ingenuity to make the movement itself comfortable.
23:46An announcer Fujita is approaching with a new designer.
23:50He says something when he sees something that we can't see.
23:53Look forward to it.
