GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

This is quite a wonderful article. Before passing it in GA review, I have two comments:
 * Since you mention the "peridiole" in the lede, you should explain what it is there, and at the first mention in the article.
 * Have now explicitly associated peridioles with the "eggs" in the lead. Sasata (talk) 23:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You might want to add alt text to the images.
 * Done. Sasata (talk) 23:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * But "peridiole" is not explained in the lede, or wikilinked. &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 23:40, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * "The "eggs" of the bird's nests (technically known as peridioles) are hard waxy shells containing spores..." (no wikilink possible yet, haven't made that article) Sasata (talk) 23:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So in the drawing "Cross section of C. laeve fruiting bodies in various stages of development", those are the "eggs" inside the peridioles, or what? &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 00:10, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe the confusion is from the similar-sounding word peridium? The peridium is the fruiting body (the "nest"), the peridioles are the disc-shaped structures (the "eggs") inside the peridium. Sasata (talk) 00:20, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Have changed "The "eggs" of the bird's nests" to "The "eggs" inside the bird's nests"... is that better? Sasata (talk) 00:22, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry! Maybe I am too tired. It is true that for the general reader, these articles are confusing. Is it correct now? &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 00:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
