Chris,

I have just checked in the UKSI (02/06/2015) and Geastrum britannicum seems to no longer be available ??   Is there a reason ??  Is it the BMS test which is causing an issue ??

Cheers.

Yes, the taxon is in the Master UKSI but we're just using an old copy to test what Richard Shotbolt has been doing with his synchronisation system. It's just ironic that we missed a new fungus in the copy he was testing with. For the next run I hope to give him a brand new copy to be synchronised :)
