I guess different locations vary depending on identifier preferences in those areas. I’m happy to have Plantae to look through for the Southern Appalachians. If I go through unknowns for my area and get annoyed by too many traces of poop and tracks, globs of the fungal/slimemold type, rocks and clouds and other kinds of non-planty stuff, my next course of action is to switch to Plantae at kingdom level and see what I can clear out of that. Sometimes I go straight for Plantae skipping the unknowns. I treat that category sort of like unknowns but presorted to just the plants.
