If they are still unknown, how could anyone possibly know the answer to those questions?

No one knows because the definition of species is not clear.

Using rarefaction curves and a Shanon-Weiner index you could probably make a decent guess of it. No need to actually count and identify every species. That's a bit beyond me though.

Gentlemen, there are clearly known unknowns.

"Although it is uncertain exactly how many fungal species are already known, one can be reasonably confident that it is in the range of 72,000 (21) to100,000 (45). This implies that we know as little as 5%, i.e., only 1 in 20 of the species of fungi that exist. Clearly the knowledge gap is immense. But where are the remaining 1.43 million species to be found? The answer to this question is essential for mycologists and plant pathologists to be able to anticipate and respond to problems resulting from emerging diseases caused by previously unknown or understudied species and to prioritize and direct resources toward understanding the systematics of the most important and unknown groups of fungal plant pathogens." http://cals.arizona.edu/classes/plp427L/undescfungi.pdf

So were you asking just to try to bait someone into making you sound smart with this pre-loaded answer?

"One can be reasonably confident" that is what he thought did, sounds like a bunch of worthless guesstimation to me

Yes, this also proves my hypothesis that this was a Known Unknown
