Hi @Heinol . Does Bolete sp refer to the genus name Boletus or a common name for Boletaceae (family)?

Hi @MichaelBedingfield. The common name for those things with a spongy pore layer under the cap - and they're not all in Boletaceae. I see that we have Bolete, Bolete sp and zz bolete. They're all the same, so we don't need all three. There's also Boletales which includes two bolete sightings. These days the order Boletales also includes some non-bolete genera. I suggest we combine all those into one category -perhaps bolete (lower case b, since it's not a taxonomic name).

Thanks Heino. I have merged the names as you suggested under bolete:
