Hello Hofoen, I hope it is OK if I write to you in English. Alternatively I can use my bad German, which should be comprehensible. Anyway, if you wish to reply in German I will understand you fine.

It is very interesting that in Wikidata you changed Q752497 (the main item with the interwiki links for this species of mushroom) to have P225 "taxon name" = "Imleria badia" instead of "Boletus badius" and to have P171 "parent taxon" = Q19286081 "Imleria" instead of Q19744 "Boletus". Also you made the former Q28654165 "Imleria badia" item into the "Boletus badius" item which is now just a synonym. I once tried to do something similar but my changes were reverted.

Who decided that this change was appropriate - that is, that the current name has changed to "Imleria badia"? Did you decide yourself, or did someone ask you to make the change, or is there a procedure for deciding when to make such a change? Or do you follow the taxonomy of Wikimedia Commons?

Because of DNA analysis new fungal genus names are coming faster than ever, which is a terrible curse for amateur mycologists, and for databases which try to classify this branch of the tree of life. I am not sure we have a good data model to manage this process in Wikidata, but anyway I am very keen to understand what the procedure should be.
