I am making this forum topic because the old one ( found here ) was closed over a year ago and is now outdated (ish). There are new species that are being misidentified frequently, and the old ones in the archive are not being misidentified as much. This forum post follows the same format and rules a…

It seems like a lot of fungi need cleaning up

I have added Cladonia chlorophaea to the list. There are thousands of observations of it to species level, but at least in Europe it generally cannot be identified to species without chemical analysis (and iNat has a species complex to deal with the issue). Most of the records seem to come from Nort…

Yes, unfortunately many of them need a big clean up…

[image] jlisby: (and whether or not it actually can be identified from just a photo over there). I messaged jurga_li, and she said this : “Regretfully, there is no continent in which of all complex, only Cladonia chlorophaea s. str. would exist. Hence, everywhere it has to be identified as co…

I added Spirogyra to this list. It is commonly found as this yellowish-green scum floating on ponds. However, it cannot be identified to genus level without microscopy, since there is also Mougeotia, Zygnema, and a few other genera.

So bump these observations up to family Zygnemataceae?

With the current taxonomy on iNaturalist, yes. However, recent research (e.g. Hess et al. (2022) ) suggests that Spirogyra and Mougeotia are not that closely related. They put Spirogyra in its own order, which means the most specific taxon would then by Zygnematophyceae (aka Conjugatophyceae), unfort…

[image] someplant: which means the most specific taxon would then by Zygnematophyceae (aka Conjugatophyceae), unfortunately :( iNat must be a frustrating place for nature newbies who want to know everything’s name.

Nature itself is a frustrating place for nature oldies (like me) who want to know everything’s name.

Thank you for this post. I have now moved my duckweed and redshank to higher classiffications pending expert review. I believe there is a spelling error: Deschampsia ceaspitosa instead of ‘Deschampsia cespitosa’

Just finished all the Eleusine indica.

Any other grasses which are particularly bad that also need work? Thinking about working on some Chloris next
