r/animalid Subreddit Rules
ID Posts Only
The primary purpose of all posts should be to identify the species of animal in a photo, video, or audio file. Other posts with no ID request will be removed.
Posts must have a location provided in the title!
State or province at least, or country if it's small enough to provide a similar level of geographic precision. It is also helpful to include the type of environment your animal is in; forest, suburb, near a lake or river, etc.
No "Bugs"
"Bug" in the colloquial sense of "terrestrial arthropod" - insects, arachnids, and other creepy crawlies. While these are animals, they're very abundant and require specialized knowledge. Post them in /r/whatsthisbug for better ID!
No Breed Requests
This group is for identifying an animal's species. Breed ID requests for domestic animals will be removed. Post them in /r/cats, /r/DoggyDNA, /r/IDmydog, or a subreddit dedicated to your animal's species.
No Violence or Animal Abuse
This group believes in respecting the dignity of nonhuman animals. Violent or abusive comments are not tolerated. In the event dispatching an animal is warranted a poster may be tactfully encouraged to seek a professional for humane euthanasia. Subsistence hunters are welcome here, but refrain from making comments that would be more appropriate for /r/hunting.
Included in this rule are posts with animals stuck in sticky traps or killed by your unsupervised outdoor pet (not barn cats/LGDs).
Low-effort and sensationalist comments will be removed at moderator discretion.
This is primarily an educational subreddit. If your comment is a joke, meme, or includes words like "vicious" or "bloodthirsty" it is likely to be removed.
No Trolling, Hate, Harassment, etc.
This is the obligatory "y'all can't behave 💅" rule.
Posts involving handling dangerous animals must contain proper use of personal protective equipment
All posts featuring the handling of medically significant species must include proper use of personal protective equipment. No “free handling”, neck pinching, etc.

It is also useful to know what the mushroom was growing on - wood, dung or on the ground? Nearby trees are also helpful to know. The more information you provide the more confident our IDs will be!
