Fine job :) Two things:

• the lead mentions that cooking curtails the toxicity; the section in the article doesn't. Also, the fine line between toxic and edible reads a little wishy-washy. hmm How does cooking chemically affect the toxin?
• The images in similar species are more prominent than the main img. Maybe shrinko! Rcej (Robert) – talk 11:38, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

• I've made some changes and additions that will hopefully address your concerns. We're not really sure how cooking affects the toxins; David Arora says "Parboiling may destroy the toxins", but I've used a more recent source that says parboiling removes most of the toxins (which seems most likely to me). I shrunk the lookalike images (and added another) so that the protagonist is most prominent in the article. Thanks for reviewing, and let me know if there's anything else you can think of to make this article better (will probably send to FAC sometime). Sasata (talk) 20:46, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

• Much better! I can't think of anything ;) Rcej (Robert) – talk 09:41, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
