Cool upgrade from a measly redirect! One thingy:

• Taxonomy, paragraph "The appearance of a specimen at a 1994 mushroom foray in North Carolina resulted in a collaboration between mycologists Tom Volk, Orson K. Miller, Jr. and Alan Bessette, who renamed the species Leucopholiota decorosa in a 1996 Mycologia publication. In 2008, Henning Knudsen considered the species synonymous with what was then known as Amylolepiota lignicola (originally Lepiota lignicola P. Karst. 1879), but Finnish mycologist Harri Harmaja rejected this interpretation. Although Harmaja originally believed Lepiota lignicola sufficiently distinct from other similar taxa to deserve its own genus Amylolepiota, he changed his mind in a 2010 publication, and transferred the species to Leucopholiota."

• Just so we're clear, the naming here is in this order: L. decorosa ('96)-> A. decorosa (type species, '08)-> L. decorosa ('10)? Rcej (Robert) - talk 04:32, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

• Not quite, it was just various names from 1873-1996 -> L. decorosa in '96. It was the other species now in the genus that changed names: Lepiota lignicola (Karsten 1879) -> Amylolepiota lignicola (Harmaja 2002, this date/naming not mentioned in this article) -> Amylolepiota lignicola=L. decorosa (according to Knudsen 2008) -> L. lignicola (Harmaja 2010). I'll think about it some more tomorrow (getting late here and hard to think clearly), and will maybe just transfer some of this to the genus article instead.

• Ok I added some stuff, & took some stuff out. Hopefully the story makes more sense now. Sasata (talk) 17:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

And I see a hook: DYK ...that the mushroom Leucopholiota decorosa was transferred to its current genus after Harri Harmaja changed his mind?

lol...I purposely left out the word 'mycologist'!! Rcej (Robert) - talk 04:32, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

That would be a good hook, but I don't think the article is DYK-suitable, as most of it was transferred from the genus article, so it doesn't qualify as "new material". However, Harry Harmaja might be worthy of a bluelink (he has a long publication list, and has certainly authored a large number of taxa), but I'll have to review the notability criteria for professors again to make sure (also tomorrow).

Ok now that I can think more clearly, I see that the hook doesn't apply to L. decorosa, but to L. lignicola! I'll save it and do a double hook sometime with that species and Harri. Sasata (talk) 17:50, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
