Talk:Phlegmacium glaucopus

A fact from Phlegmacium glaucopus appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 October 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Cortinarius glaucopus (pictured) forms unusually hydrophobic (water-repellant) ectomycorrhizae, which has led to interest in decoding its genome?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2015/October. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cortinarius glaucopus.

PAH degradation

A point about the genome was featured in "Did you know?" so I added another one from the same reference. It's interesting because something (hydrophobicity) led to interest in decoding the genome, and that research has already indicated it may be more capable than average at decomposing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are toxic and often highly carcinogenic, in the soil. So I added that point too. Roches (talk) 12:48, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edibility

This page doesn't make much sense, because it contradicts itself. It both says "It is considered inedible" and "In Tlaxcala, Mexico, it is collected in June and sold in the market." Why does it say that?
