OK, I've had a read now, obviously pretty good, but some quibbles Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:03, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lead seems a little short at just over three lines, even for a relatively small article. Nothing else worth mentioning there? Also, with so few words, should be able to avoid repeat of "known".
Added a couple of sentences, and removed a "known". Sasata (talk) 04:31, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The specific epithet abruptibulbus refers to the shape of the bulb at the base of the stem — what does the abrupti- part of the specific name mean?
  • The cap margin is curved inward when young, but becomes curved downward when mature. — any way to avoid repeat of "curved"?
  • a "pleasant" odor — not sure about the quote marks, is it pleasant or not?
  • The stem is solid (i.e., not hollow) — stating the obvious?
  • A dilute solution (12%) of ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) — I'd much prefer ammonia (NH3) solution, since less than one percent of the dissolved ammonia is in the form you give, see the ammonium hydroxide article
  • mounted in a dilute potassium hydroxide — can you mount something in a solution?
  • 5–7.2 µm, 7.2–9 µm — unless there is a reason why one end of the range is less accurate than the other, should be 5.0-7.2 and 7.2-9.0
  • relatively unique — ???


OK, that was fairly painless
