Good week for mushrooms ahead edition
>Community-based tools for IDing and Cataloguing
Mushroomobserver.org
The Bolete Filter: https://boletes.wpamushroomclub.org/
Inaturalist app (directly draws data from mushroomobserver but is itself a more generalized platform)
Google Scholar: Massive resource for papers and studies regarding current clinical and indigenous uses of medicinal fungi.
If you expect to get a remotely meaningful ID here, you need to be taking photos of the mushroom as you found it, on it's substrate, a clear shot of the top and side view of it, and a clear shot of the gills/pores/stipe/stem or otherwise the entire undercarriage of the mushroom. every detail of the encounter helps, where, when, what was the weather, etc.
If you want people who do this for a living to give their guess on ID's, take all of the above and make quality observations on Mushroomobserver.
This science needs as much redundant ID and loacation data as possible, any observation has value and is a meaningful contribution that takes a few more seconds than just taking a picture of the pretty thing you saw in the woods.
