| jameskm | field mushrooms and allies (Family Agaricaceae) |
I notice that Agaric.us splits this family possibly into five, of which we recognize two. Is it worth lumping Lycoperdaceae, or splitting our concept of Agaricaceae? |

Ah, I see the argument against lumping Lycoperdaceae is here: https://www.inaturalist.org/flags/510127
On Mushroom Observer, I'm inclined to treat all 5 as separate, accepted families, and additionally use "Agaricaceae sensu lato" when it's not clear which family it would belong to. I would recommend that for iNat, but I don't see "sensu lato" names here, or "nom. inval." ones (indicating that seems desirable for "Lepiotaceae").
Another option would be to split off Lycoperdaceae (and Tulostomataceae/Battarraceae and/or Coprinaceae, if you want) and just accept "Agaricaceae" as quite possibly polyphyletic...
I would support following Agaric.us for the agaricaceae sensu stricto
iNat cannot implement a separate senu lato. It has a more tightly defined/nomenclaturally correct hierarchy (except 'species complex') than MO. Agaricaeae sensu lato would be within the sub-order Agaricineae. These suborders are very useful divisions within the agaricales and people should get used to using them.
"Lepiotaceae" is listed as Verrucosporaceae in the PDF and tree. That name should be good enough.
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxon_changes/87855 I sorted out the genera and am ready to commit the split.
re Verrucosporaceae , I'm not sure what is wrong with Leucocopriniceae.
At least that is a name based on an accepted genus and more likely to be associated with this group than Verrucosporaceae.
Agaric.us has Leucocoprinus in Agaricaceae s. str.
Oh yes - now I look at the trees I suppose that is correct if you follow this way of slicing it up.
Just so everyone is aware - this split is pretty useless for casual observers. I'm not touching or updating any of my content, as I do not have the data in my observations or in my head to determine where things should move to.
Can i please have a list of all fungi name changes for 2020/2021 as i am working on creating a database with updated taxa names of Western Australian species for a project at Curtin University in Perth. There seems to be alot of changes happening at this present moment to fungi.
