Generally looks very solid.

• "whitish-gray to grey" Which English are we using, here? (Further down you use "mild odor" and "flavors")

• Made spelling US consistent. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• "(where it becomes the columnella) where it tapers to a point." where... where...; I'd change "where it becomes" to "becoming" or "where it tapers" to "tapering".

• Tweaked as suggested. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• pedicel is a dablink

• Removed link (no mycology-specific target) and instead glossed definition. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• What are "eucapillitial threads"?

• Equivalent to capillitia, trimmed. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• "In the United States, it has been used medicinally by the Ojibwe as a hemostatic agent used to stop nosebleeds,[21] which they used by inhaling the powdery gleba up their noses." This is a rather clumsy sentence

• Ok now? Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• "Development" would work well as a subsection of "description".

• This section will probably grow in the future, but for now I agree. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• Is "pseudoparenchymatous" a noun or an adjective? The sentence "the outer layer become pseudoparenchymatous" (should it be becomes?) seems to imply the latter, but the definition "a tightly organised tissue where the tightly packed cells resemble plant parenchyma" implies the latter.

• Tweaked prose; thanks for noticing the awkwardness! Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• "Puffballs grow singly to several to grouped" This doesn't quite work; I can't quite put my finger on why.

• Streamlined text. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• "Hsiao W-C, Wang Y-N, Chen C-Y. (2010). "The investigation of macrofungus in Fong-Huang Mountain". Journal of the Experimental Forest of National Taiwan University (in Chinese) 24 (3): 209–15." Picky, but a full citation would probably have the original Chinese title.

• Will have to dig for this one. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• Added it myself- got it from here, and, looking at Google Translate, the alternative title does seem to be a translatioon of the main title. J Milburn (talk) 18:48, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

• Category:Fungi of Australia? Category:Fungi used in traditional Chinese medicine? (Perhaps neither, not sure.)

• Sure, added both. Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Very strong. I made a few small fixes. Pictures and sources are very good. J Milburn (talk) 10:02, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, appreciated! Sasata (talk) 05:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Great stuff, as ever. Promoting now. J Milburn (talk) 18:48, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
