Never put two different species in the same picture.

The Mushroom Hunting forum has been consistently getting poorly organized ID requests for some time now. Some are missing important features that are needed to even begin an attempt at identification.
To get a fast and less confusing response, I created this model ID request for people to use as a template.
Tips for creating an ID request:
How to put pictures in your post: http://www.shroomery.org/5286/How-do-I-put-pictures-in-my-post
Take clear pictures!
Use a digital camera, a camera phone will not often work well enough for people to figure out what mushroom you have. Enable macro mode (the little flower icon) and read these mushroom photography tips.
Only one species per picture. Things get confusing when there are multiple types of mushrooms in the same picture. It's OK to have multiple specimens of the same mushroom, as long as it is the same species. When hunting, it is good practice to store each collection individually - by species.
Label each species by number. Sometimes there will be multiple pictures of the same mushroom. Numbering them by type will really help avoid some possible confusion and make things a lot easier. If you have 5 pictures of the same type of mushroom, place it all under the same #.
Spore print color is one of the most IMPORTANT features for identification. You MUST take one for all ID requests. It is getting tiresome to have to constantly tell people to take spore prints. For those who don't know how to do a spore print, see this document and this page.
List general area. It's important to know what part of the world you are in, at least what country. Certain mushrooms only grow in certain areas, so listing a state or general area will be helpful. A specific location or city is not necessary (specific locations are against the rules), just list a general area.

The annoying thing is, when you choose the category "ID Request" for your thread, as you did for this one, a template appears for you to fill in - a template which you obviously just deleted and replaced with this load of crap. You don't deserve any help. Get your shit together or don't bother asking for help.

ok, you're right. But i was hoping i could simply post some pictures and get a rough ID on some mushrooms i found. i'm going to repost this, can i delete my own threads or does a mod have to delete it?

You delete it and then a mod comes along and expunges it.
