Happy to offer a review; I can't imagine that there will be any major problems. J Milburn (talk) 22:40, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

• "in what was then known as the Kingdom of Prussia" Why not "in what was then the Kingdom of Prussia"?

• Yes, that's better, changed. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• Do we know the etymology of tenerrima or carpophila? farinellus, at least, is pretty obvious- perhaps they'd be worth mentioning along with the first mention of them? If you don't think it's important, feel free to ignore me.

• Added etymology for tenerrima; the farinellus epithet is from an obscure synonym, so don't think it's necessary; not sure if carpophila is from from Greek -karpion, from karpos fruit, or Modern Latin from Greek karpos (harvest), so left this one out. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• "The cap color is pallid gray with a whitish margin when young, but soon becomes white overall." How about "The cap is pallid gray with a whitish margin when young, but soon becomes white overall."?

• Yes, changed. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• "are free" Jargon?

• Added "from attachment" to clarify. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• You don't mention the "disc" in the description section; just the bulb

• Oops – fixed oversight. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• "The spores are broadly ellipsoid, amyloid, with dimensions of 8–10 by 5–6.5 µm." Listy rather than prosaic?

• Tweaked prose. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• "sometimes forked at time" What does this mean? "sometimes become forked over time", perhaps?

• Changed to "the projections are sometimes forked." Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• "and lacks clamps." Clamps have yet to be mentioned.

• Added. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• The spore print isn't mentioned in the prose, but is in the box.

• Added. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

• Sources look fine. More specific page numbers for the Desjardin source would be useful.

• Done. Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

The pictures are fine; generally seems like a solid article, and a good candidate for GA status. J Milburn (talk) 23:03, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, I appreciate it! Sasata (talk) 16:34, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
