+- State in the docstring of `FsspecStore.from_url` that the filesystem type is inferred from the URL scheme.
+
+It should help a user handling the case when the type of FsspecStore doesn't match the URL scheme.

+The type of filesystem (e.g. S3, https, etc..) is inferred from the scheme of the url (e.g. s3 for "**s3**://noaa-nwm-retro-v2-zarr-pds").
+In case a specific filesystem is needed, one can explicitly create it. For example to create a S3 filesystem:
