Shoutout to J. Moufawad-Paul for inspiration from his book Politics in Command: A Taxonomy of Economism without which this article would not have happened. Albeit disagreements on particulars, I’d call it a must read and would recommend it to all on the left. I cite him here:

New records, #newspecies , and common species of Pluteus sect. Celluloderma from northern China.

Two extinctions: species and the people who describe species. I never understood why taxonomy is so undervalued. It underpins everything humans rely on to survive.

Good to see this initiative.

Plagiothecium sylvaticum has priority over P. platyphyllum.
