Disconnecting iNaturalist

You can disconnect your iNaturalist account at any time. Observations you’ve already exported stay on iNaturalist.

Disconnecting

  1. Click your name or avatar and select Settings.
  2. Scroll to the iNaturalist section.
  3. Click Disconnect and confirm.

What Happens When You Disconnect

  • No new exports: you can’t export until you reconnect.
  • Exported observations stay: disconnecting doesn’t delete anything on iNaturalist.
  • Links are kept: exported observations still show their iNaturalist link.
  • You can reconnect at any time.

Removing Observations From iNaturalist

Disconnecting doesn’t remove your exported observations. To delete one, open it on iNaturalist.org, click Edit, then Delete. This doesn’t affect your Field Mycologist UK observation.

  1. Disconnect your current account.
  2. Log out of iNaturalist in your browser.
  3. Click Connect to iNaturalist and log in with the other account.
