Howdy folks,
I’m sure the answer is obvious and simple, but I am very puzzled to find that there are ~211 observations of cultivated roses (Rosa sp.) in the Fungi of the California Floristic Province project.
Given the taxa- inclusion criteria for observations in the project… why are they there?? As far as I can tell, all the other observations in the project are in fact fungi.

They’re all observations where the first ID was a fungus, but they’ve since moved into Rosa, e.g. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/314005137

Thanks! I was wondering if that might be the case, but I thought that if it were, I’d also see other examples of plant pathogens getting re-identified as plants showing up in the project.
Maybe not so common because of the Captive/Cultivated nature of these Rosa?
Shouldn’t they be removed from the project once the consensus is no longer a fungi?

You have to manually remove observations from traditional projects.

I think the project managers have to do the removal from traditional projects. It may be good to notify them of this issue.

Thanks everyone.
It would be great if “Remove from Project” was a hotkey, or at least a clickable option from the Annotations pane of the Identify tool.
I see that Add to Project is already a hotkey, so maybe just add its companion.
Am I missing this ability? Or is there another way to do this other than one-by-one manually?

My recommendation would be to use the universal metadata tool to bulk remove observations from traditional projects. If you want to discuss that tool, I think probably the conversation should move to that topic.
The other option is a bit more technical, but for those who feel up to running code, see here.
