but we seem to make exceptions for certain prolific photographers
why?
a mom and pop picture must only get a genus  level id only
if one does not follow rules and provide enough pictures to support
identification
they must not be indulged to a species level id
no matter what
esp in fungus

rules must be same for everybody

additionally, mushrooms are often searched out by common people for food,
we must have disclaimer that most mushrooms are not edible
may be toxic
even fatal
i agree with Alok
