  1. If you add to this progressive category, make it obvious to me that the new pictures are additional to ones that have already been submitted...

  3. I'd hate to stifle your creativity by providing you with a cut-and-dry answer to this. I'll tell you though that what was known as Protista is actually at least 19 different kingdoms (and perhaps more according to some biologists). Of course, Archaea and Bacteria are more common than the eukaryotes we've been posting. They even sometimes make biofilms...

  4. Hey Iris, how did you identify the fungus? Was there a good website you found?

  5. I used this site: http://www.bio.brandeis.edu/fieldbio/mgoldin/

    However, it is a little hard to identify it. Even after I found out it was ringless honey mushroom, I still had to find more pictures of it to make sure.

  6. The seaweed was added on. But since I don't know the classification of the seaweed, does it not count?

  7. I changed to a different seaweed that I knew the scientific name of.
