Overprecision in Spore Print Annotations: A Lingua-Funga Problem??

So here’s a niche pet peeve…? I’ve been obsessively labeling spore print descriptions with phonetic-style diacritics—like using ɐ instead of ‘a’ for the a in Armillaria to denote vowel reduction? I know it sounds pedantic… But isn’t consistency in technical jargon crucial for collaboration??? 😓 Like… how linguistics shuns unregulated loanword transcriptions… Shouldn’t we standardize morphosyntactic descriptors like [spore: ellipsoidal] instead of vague terms like “cigar-shaped”… or do we risk alienating 90% of casual growers? 😅 Maybe someone’s already written a paper slamming this—am I reinventing the wheel… or just a detail-obsessed fungi dork? Let’s debate! 🍄
