Happy to offer a review. J Milburn (talk) 17:45, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Some varieties of Leccinum holopus have been described that vary in cap color or staining reaction, but DNA evidence suggests that most are the same species" Varieties are always the same species. On that point, are you meaning to say that none of the described varieties/forms are no longer recognised?
  • "On the cap underside is a porous surface comprising pores measuring 2 to 3 per millimeter" numbering rather than measuring, surely?
  • You link hyphae at the second mention, but not the first.
  • "negative on the cap, and negative to slightly olive" A bit jargony
  • It's mycorrhizal, I assume?
  • You don't cite Kuo's 100 Edible Mushrooms? Or are you indirectly citing it via The Book of Fungi?
  • "Peter Roberts and Shelley Evans in The Book of Fungi say "it is edible, but is said to be tasteless and pappy, so is not recommended."" Is this MOS:LQ compliant?
  • "among sphagnum moss" If you mean to refer to the genus, you'd need a capital; if you mean to refer to the common name, it wouldn't be in italics.
  • Can I ask why you've chosen that image for the lead? I much prefer the bottom one.
  • Not a big deal for GAC, but I note that you have some publication locations but not others.

Good stuff, as ever. Sources are great, images are fine copyright-wise. J Milburn (talk) 18:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
