Presumably that’s because the community taxon is already at genus level Ramaria: [GS230501113104]

Interesting. Even so, that shouldn’t remove my ability to degree with the specific taxon suggestion. Also, the title of the observation is ‘Ramaria formosa’ (and not Ramaria) on the observation page: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37868526 [image] And is listed as listed as ‘Ramaria for…

The leading ID is what shows up at the top of the page and it can sometimes be different from the Community ID (which can be confusing). The ID at the top is what will show up on maps and in searches by default, the idea being to help IDers find things (I think) that fit their identification filters…

Thanks for clarifying Community ID vs Leading ID. However, this part is not true: a disagreement with the one species level ID wouldn’t change the CID, so that’s why you can’t disagree (I think). See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/39458347 where I am able to disagree with an observatio…

Yes, but in that observation, you are disagreeing with the Community ID - that condition is not met on your example observation. If you enter an ID that disagrees from the community ID (higher taxon, taxon not contained in the CID), you should always get the “disagree” popup.

The leading ID (listed on top) has in my experience always been the same as the CID (unless the original observer suggests an ID and at the same time “User has opted-out of Community Taxon”). However that is not the case here as 1) the observer has not opted-out and 2) it’s a separate user who has m…

The leading ID and CID can differ - you can click the “About” button or “What’s this?” link next to the CID to learn more about the CID and how it is calculated. People opting out is another way that CID and leading ID can differ. In this case, because 3/4 IDers are at the genus level, it outweighs…

Thank you for the “About community taxa”. I’ve read through it and believe it doesn’t cover the issue I have described above. The above observation is the only one I have come across that doesn’t allow ‘dissent’ (as it’s called in the “About community taxa”). And because I can’t disagree/dissent wit…

I could disagree. Left comments on both for you.

I was unable to disagree too. You should be able to disagree with the species level ID that the observation is labeled as. [image] cthawley: The leading ID and CID can differ Yes, but in all my time identifying, I have never encountered a situation where you can’t disagree with the non-comm…
