I'm with you on the ID challenges, @dber! I see so many fungi that I will never know by name. Sometimes it's even too much to know their relatives. And in the papers that sort out fungi by DNA, the results are mostly downright probabilistic rather than definitive. It's humbling, too, to read older mushroom books - even great ones - and realize how much has changed in 'knowing' what a specific mushroom might be.

And I sure appreciate all that effort you go to, to get photos and footage at such a small scale. I hope you can set up a great lab somewhere, that gives you more room to have temperature control and lighting the way you want! -- And I'll stay away from foraging those slime molds - to eat, anyway..... ; )
