**** For all users: Your views on fungal recording are needed ****
The British Mycological Society (BMS) is collaborating with the Biological Recording Company to assess how fungal records submitted to the FRDBI are verified and subsequently shared. The survey will be consulting widely with fungal recorders via an open-to-all online survey, followed by a consultation workshop with BMS members. Following this, we plan to publish our findings in a consultation report and draft a verification protocol for verifying FRDBI records.
Further background information can be found here on the Biological Recording Company site
