licences

Every image carries the licence under which its source published it, recorded verbatim alongside a normalised reading. Where it could not be resolved the value is unknown. No image is stored without one.

The licence, the source URL, the ingestion timestamp and a SHA-256 of the source image are stored, and the archived original is retained.

The Mushroom Observer occurrence dataset is published under CC BY-NC 4.0. The photographs carry their own licences, recorded per image.

observation counts

Counts record how often the species has been seen, not how rare it is. Sampling is heavily concentrated in Europe and North America.

Taken across each full dataset, not across the records held here, aggregated by canonical name, and stamped with the date computed.

threat status

The IUCN assessment where one exists. Most fungi are unassessed, and those records read not evaluated. Never imputed, never defaulted.
