Talk:Agaricus silvaticus

Spelling
Both spellings of the species name, "sylvaticus" and "silvaticus", are found in the literature. The Latin word for "wood" may be spelt either "silva" or "sylva" (cf. Pennsylvania). The current spelling given in Index Fungorum/Species Fungorum is with a "y", and I think that that implies that in Wikipedia we should regard the "sylvaticus" as the preferred orthography since WP should follow Index Fungorum.
