Grabbing this one! Do you realize that my first-ever GA review was almost two years ago, on a Lactarius species, written by you? Anyway, I'll have comments up in a day or two (and likely some stuff to add, you know me!) Sasata (talk) 01:18, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I remember it :) And I remember thinking that, surely, you could spew out fungal GAs if you wanted to. You proved me right there! This one's an article I wrote around the same time that I have revisited. J Milburn (talk) 01:50, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK 1st pass—nitpicks: Sasata (talk) 16:48, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

lead could be longer, especially more information about what it looks like. Link fungus, mushroom, birch; floor -> ground, or forest floor
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 19:50, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
taxobox width to 234 px? (I guess I'm foisting my personal preferences here, but I think it looks neater when the taxobox width is the same as the mycomorphbox)
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
synonyms ref and synonyms in taxobox? Mention Galorrheus vietus and Lactifluus vietus in taxonomy
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 18:10, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Russulales News is well-respected for info about species in that order, and has further taxonomic synonyms
- Done; where it conflicted with MycoWeb, I went with MycoWeb. J Milburn (talk) 18:10, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
link "first described" to species description
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Systema mycologicum and Epicrisis systematis mycologici are both on Google books (and Biodiversity Heritage Library), so you can cite these publications directly
- Done, in addition to the cites already there. J Milburn (talk) 18:10, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"L. vietus typically" No abbr to start para
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"(0.98 to 3.0 in)" suggest reducing convert template output to 1 decimal place, it's just an approximation anyway, based on a small sample size (other instances later)
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
link umbo
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I like to replace jargony "incurved" with "curved inwards" or similar
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
link buff, adnate, decurrent, flesh
- Done two, but defined adnate and decurrent, as we don't have articles.
"lemellulae (gills that do not reach the cap margin)" -> "lamellulae (short gills that do not reach the stem from the cap margin)"
- Massive fail on my part there... J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"which dries as a brownish or greenish grey"
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
link spore print
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"amyloid (staining blue in iodine)" Melzer's reagent is more than just iodine, so probably better to use the reagent name; could also link staining
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"well developed" needs hyphen
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"measuring between 8 and 9.5 by ~~between~~ 6.5 to 7.5" second between unnecessary, it's implied; there's a couple later as well that can be removed
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"The pleurocystidia (cystidia on the ~~edge of the~~ face of the gills)"
- I'm sorry, I think I may have literally forgotten to read through this a last time before nominating it at GAC... J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"narrow spindle" -> spindles
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

any more details about the distribution? Europe and North America are big places…
- Expanded on the distribution and the ecology. J Milburn (talk) 19:39, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Refs: title case for books, sentence case for journal titles; endashes for page ranges; need page #'s for Trappe 1962; author format for ref #14 is different than the rest
- Done. J Milburn (talk) 17:23, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I had my way with it as well, and am confident it meets all of the GA criteria. Pleasure working with you, JM! Sasata (talk) 22:33, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
