Hamadryads big phat fungi thread!

[John Shutler]

hama could you put some of the common names alongside you pictures please, i really think it would provide a resource for some

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I know what youre saying, but ive been given a hard time over this common name thing by the "hardcore" mycologists I am trying to break the habit!

 

It causes confusion due to there being often more than one name, for example as in the thread i have fommes included the common names, southern bracket, tinder fungus and horses hoof fungus, you start to get where i am coming from. I have to get my head round sticking to the latin!

 

But if thats what ze peoples want, then have it they shall my good man!

 

what about those that have no common name? latin is the language of science!

[Dean Lofthouse]

Last time I suggested not using latin names some time ago I got a right roasting

[John Shutler]

haha i remember

im not suggesting leaving the latin out,far from it. just think it would provide more of a resource if both the latin and common names were there

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]
