Got this one. Comments soon. Sasata (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
- usually we use botanical term division instead of phylum in the taxobox for fungi (although technically either is fine)
- why not keep units consistent in the lead (40 millimetres cap vs. 6.2 cm stems)
- "found in moist habitats" doesn't tell us if it grows on the ground, on leaves, on decaying wood, etc.
- "The stem connects to a large and well-defined "bulb" at the base." Instead of saying it "connects to" (makes me think of it as a separate structure), how about a wording like this: "The base of the stem is a well-defined "bulb""?
- link spore
- Findland
- "other species which would otherwise" which->that
- link Karstenia
- "the shore of
thelake Pahakala" - in Taxonomy, it's a bit confusing to refer to the tree as both beech and willow
- "an umbo which is" which->that
- "towards the cap margins" margin
(funny looking spores) ... "This is perhaps due to poor weather." Poor weather is vague; does this mean dry weather (I think a fungus would think dry weather to be poor).Meh, never mind, the authors are equally vague!- "The tip is encrusted with crystal-like structures and sometimes bends," the tip is encrusted with bends?
- cystudia spelling
- "The species also features" I'd specify "fruit body" or "mushroom"
- "and often grow in clusters." -> how about "and are often arranged in clusters."?
- should gloss excrescence
- "I. hirculus has been recorded growing near
toI. saliceticola," - for our general audience, you might want to spell out ITS and mention that it's ribosomal DNA. I think that molecular phylogenetics is a better (more targeted) piped link in this case than genetic testing
- wikt or gloss fibrillose
- "while other trees which the species" which->that
- "The species is found most typically in moist thickets" species->fungus (several species were discussed in the previous sentence)
- detrius -> detritus
- might be worthwhile to mention that there's been over 150 species of Inocybe found in Scandinavia
- Done; however, I've also switched around mentions of "Scandinavia" to "Nordic countries". According to our article, I was actually using the word wrong... J Milburn (talk) 14:31, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Tried contacting the authors for a pic?
- I contacted Ukka Vauras, but I was unable to find contact details for Katri Kokkonen. I also considered drawing my own sketch of the spores, but I wasn't sure whether that would be academically sound, seeing as I'd be basing my sketch off someone else's. What do you think?
Thanks very much for your review; it's late, so I've only picked off some of the easier points, rather than risk messing something up. J Milburn (talk) 00:22, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Edibility[edit]
I think that mushrooms should have a word about edibility or toxicity. Especially if there are toxic species in the genus, while others are rumored to be eaten.80.254.148.123 (talk) 08:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
