Fungi A to Z Alerts

[cybershot]

Since the 'Notice Board' was moved out of sight and out of mind to WAB Developments, I think we need another point of contact here on the Fungi Forums solely for the purpose of allowing contributors and visitors to the Fungi Section of WAB to post alerts for the volunteer editors. Therefore posts to this thread will simply be notifications of both errors in existing entries and the existence of suitable material in the Forums or the various Fungi Galleries which lends itself to the editing or creating of entries.

Editors should acknowledge any action taken on the strength of a particular alert.

Please use this thread accordingly

Thanks in anticipation.

PPS And the currently linked photo of Lachnum virgineum in the A-Z is the one AlanS said did not look like that species because the hairs are too short.

Thanks Ken and Alan, now searching the galleries trying to sort the Lachnum virgineum from the Lachnum brevipilosum in order to find appropriate replacement images.

Hi David,

The pic for Crepidotus applicatus looks a bit dodgy.

Do you mean Crepidotus applanatus ... which has been verified

John

[Morchella]

Good point, now I'm really confused - I meant this one

Flat Oysterling - Crepidotus applicatus | Wild About Britain

also how do you get the A to Z to search latin names?

That's a galerina! Hopefully David or someone will pick it up.

This is Crepidotus applicatus:



As to the search ... I'll look into that one in the morning ... later

But which Galerina I wonder? Could someone elighten me so I can change it please?

Morchella, the scientific names are listed:

It is one of yours and it's already in the A-Z .

We have your excellent image of what I guess is Crepidotus applanatus but you have called it Crepidotus applicatus...... AFAIK that does not exist!

I have added your 'C. applicatus' to the A-Z as C. applanatus. Is that OK?

Thanks Richard.

When I first uploaded the applanatus I called it applicatus by mistake. Ken soon put me right but the image name still had 'C. applicatus' which is why the AtoZ was confused ... along with many of us too

I think that the main picture for Rickenella Fibula is more likely to be a Gallerina possibly mycenopsis

Well spotted Mal I've changed it for a more obvious Rickenella Fibula

We appear to have Mycena adscendens and also MYCENDA adscendens

Mal

Mal

Thanks Mal, I have corrected the typo but unfortunately, due to some previous anonymous mischief making, volunteer editors like myself cannot delete superfluous entries so now we have a duplicate for this species and must wait for Admin/moderators to carry out the necessary action.

Thanks David,

That might have been my typo that caused the dupe. We cannot even check the revision history now!

I have been on hols and since back very preccupied with work so I have have not had much chance to help you out. Thanks for holding the fort! I haven't even been out on a proper foray for six weeks!

I have mentioned to Stuart about the reinstatement of the revision history as I found it invaluable as an editor to check that updates were current and valid - glad you endorse my view.

David

I must admit to feeling rather pee'd off that I can no longer make certain changes. I understand that Stu had problems with now an ex-member and that leaving but couldn't the likes of thee and me be granted 'editing status'??

I cannot do anything about the two entries for Leccinum scabrum.

I have just added four more to the A-Z which, I think brings it up to date with the Gallery. However, I managed to upload the image for Leccinum duriusclum into both the first and second slots. And, of course, I cannot even see the new A-Z enty yet let alone rectify my mistake.

How are you doing David?

Richard

[cybershot]

I'm doing well recuperating from my op on Thursday, but frustrated by the chopping and changing on the A to Z - your L. duriusclum still not showing.

If you need any deleting Richard / David just make a note here or pm me the entry.

John

PS I've deleted the Leccinum scabrum

Inocybe geophylla var. lilacina - Inocybe geophylla var. lilacina | Wild About Britain

is a dupe.

I am not sure whether it is necessary to move and rename but Langermannia gigantea is now Calvatia gigantea in the Checklist

Thanks Mal - now sorted

Hi
We appear to have two Common Earthball entries one claiming to be Scleroderma aurantium which I think is not a valid name but it certainly isn't the Common Earthball

Mal

Thanks Mal - I've tried to add an appropriate note to the entry, but yet again admin seem to have moved the goalposts regarding formatting and I cannot get the extract from the BC to make any sense.

The obvious option is to delete the entry but I cannot do that either.

Not going to waste any more time trying to edit and wish good luck to those who persevere.
