Hi, I'll review this soon. FunkMonk (talk) 16:22, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"his included remark "antecedentis (Polyporus nidulans) forsan varietas" Translation?

Rather than verge into OR translation territory, I've just removed the Latin as it's not essential to the story. Sasata (talk) 05:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the name Hapalopilus rutilans still used by some, and by who?

After doing some digging, I think I've found a good source to help answer the first part of your question, and have given some examples in a footnote for the second part. Sasata (talk) 05:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What are its closest relatives?

The only useful phylogenetic work including this species and some congeners that I found was published in 2001, and I don't think its conclusions were sufficiently relevant for this article. Sasata (talk) 05:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is it native throughout its distribution? How did it disperse this far? Or is it just very old?

These are good questions, to which I cannot find answers. I would guess it has a native circumboreal distribution with perhaps introductions to Australia and Oceania, but cannot find this written down anywhere. Sasata (talk) 05:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"One German family who consumed" When? Not too important, but couldn't help wondering, and you do give a date for another case.

Thank-you for taking on this review FunkMonk. I hope the above replies address your comments satisfactorily. Sasata (talk) 05:52, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have other issues, so will pass this now. FunkMonk (talk) 10:13, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
