I used a lot of time to skim through the relevant-looking comments on this thread, but I apologize if I still missed if this had been proposed before.
It has been suggested that fungi should have more options for Annotations. It has been argumented that everything is irrelevant for fungi as “for by far the majority of non-pathogenic taxa, both “Evidence of presence” and reproductive stage will be the fruiting body” – Then Why does “Organism” exist for plants and animals, as the evidence is just the organism itself in a photo/photos for the majority of them?
Sorry if I sound aggressive, that is not my intention. I’m just asking. At the moment, there seems to be only Gall, and I would like to suggest that Organism or Fruiting body should be added for Fungi if there is anything else to choose from for Evidence of Presence.
The other suggestion that I have, is that
Slime moulds should/could have annotations similar to nymph or adult: Plasmodium or Fruiting body (Sporofori).
Similar to many insect nymphs, slime moulds in Plasmodium stage are hard to impossible to identify from even macro camera photos. Perhaps microscope photos are better to be tagged with Observation fields, but these stages could be in Annotations.
Well, identifying slime moulds in the iNaturalist format has more issues than just that one, so I understand if you won’t add this… I’m nowhere near an expert so I would have wanted to reply to another thread instead to discuss it, as this thread (789 replies) is already long enough, but that thread was closed already 2 years ago: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-to-identify-slime-molds/38148/8
