 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

Thanks for reviewing Dana; I've tweaked the prose issues that you found. Sasata (talk) 02:39, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * Description, "Its color is reddish to bay to" What color is bay?
 * Similar species, "has a cap color changes according to its age" -> "a cap that changes color"?
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Overall good, as always. Just a couple of minor prose niggles... Dana boomer (talk) 18:38, 3 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Bay (color) redirects to Bay (horse), which I don't think is what you were going for, as the color bay in horses covers a wide range, from almost tan to almost black. Is there another link that describes the proper color? Dana boomer (talk) 14:01, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * That's interesting ... I think that many mycologists believe that bay is a single color, as it is often used in mushroom descriptions. I've changed instead to reddish brown. Sasata (talk) 14:37, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Works for me. "Bay" in horses is a genetic thing producing a range of brownish colors with black points, rather than a specific shade, although the typical reddish/dark brown is the most commonly thought of. After that aside, now passing the article... Dana boomer (talk) 15:54, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
