I'll take this article for review. Full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 18:17, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   • Description, "Its color is reddish to bay to" What color is bay?
   • Similar species, "has a cap color changes according to its age" -> "a cap that changes color"?

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • Overall good, as always. Just a couple of minor prose niggles... Dana boomer (talk) 18:38, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing Dana; I've tweaked the prose issues that you found. Sasata (talk) 02:39, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Bay (color) redirects to Bay (horse), which I don't think is what you were going for, as the color bay in horses covers a wide range, from almost tan to almost black. Is there another link that describes the proper color? Dana boomer (talk) 14:01, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

That's interesting ... I think that many mycologists believe that bay is a single color, as it is often used in mushroom descriptions. I've changed instead to reddish brown. Sasata (talk) 14:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Works for me. "Bay" in horses is a genetic thing producing a range of brownish colors with black points, rather than a specific shade, although the typical reddish/dark brown is the most commonly thought of. After that aside, now passing the article... Dana boomer (talk) 15:54, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
