It does seem to place an eccentric value on id...when infact and as so many of the mycology recognition guides frequently repeat, if in doubt, get a second and scientific opinion....O well, it has no doubt reinforced the pertinence of acknowledging what you dont know! Fungi/host interactions are important in hazard evaluation. I will have the opportunity to raise this issue with the Treelife crew in due course and believe me I would like to know what their take is on the criteria.

Sorry to hear that....keep going I guess, as it is something you will be practicing almost without knowing it.....
