Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 19:55, 12 January 2016 (UTC)


 * The lead strikes me a a little short for the length of the article.
 * Now fattened and two paragraphs. Sasata (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Do you perhaps have a source to cite for the second paragraph of the taxonomy section?
 * Added a source for etymology and removed the bit I couldn't find a direct source for. Sasata (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * "Later mycologists thought that the forked gills" Later than what?
 * Reworded in a fashion similar to what we did in H. aurantiaca. Sasata (talk)


 * I find the Singer quote rather difficult to decipher
 * Added an introductory bit; is this better? Sasata (talk)


 * "In 1975, he added species with inamyloid but cyanophilous spores, whose characteristics otherwise aligned with the type species." What were these species?
 * Added. Sasata (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * "These two genera are sister to" Which two, specifically? You've named a lot!
 * Clarified. Sasata (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * How about a table for the species list? I love what you did with list of Armillaria species
 * Ok, done! Sasata (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Shame we don't have any more pictures, but I'm certainly not seeing any...
 * I was satisfied to get pictures of three different species for this particular genus ... Sasata (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm struggling a bit with your Schröter source (also Bas et al, Watling and Heinemann & Rammeloo). From the formatting, I'm not fully clear as to what kind of publication it is/they are.
 * Your Vellinga source seems to be lacking some info; is it not a short article from Fungi?
 * Does "Bulletin Mensuel de la Société Linnéenne de Lyon" need to be italicised?
 * The ref formatting deficiencies have all been remedied. Sasata (talk)

At first look through, this is a really nice article. Please check my edits. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:32, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Your edits were dandy. Thanks for reviewing! Sasata (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, I am happy that this is ready for promotion, so I will promote now. Here are a couple of other bits to think about:
 * Would "circumscribed" with a link to Circumscription (taxonomy) not be preferable to "conceived" in the opening lines? Or am I missing a technicality?
 * I know this is a bit of a pain, but do you have a reference for the claim that many of the species are poorly known? It's clearly true, but some people might see that as OR.
 * Would there perhaps be space for any common names in the species table? Or do we only really have a couple?
 * You're missing a location for CRC Press.

A great article. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:01, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. I implemented your final suggestions except for adding common names; I think there's only one (for H. aurantiaca), and this is mentioned elsewhere in the article. Sasata (talk) 19:08, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
