Talk:Paragyromitra infula

Edibility
I think that section leaves much to be desired. It should probably include a see also link to the Toxicity and Consumption sections in Gyromitra esculenta, since the same compound is involved, and describe the differential elements to that species. I.e. is G. infula generally consumed, if not why? The lack of taste is probably the cause, but do we have a source for that? Or is it also less common (the distribution section dos not talk of abundance or frequency)? Also does the mushroom have similar levels of gyromitrin to G. esculenta?

 * Working on it (next FAC). Check back in a day or two. (Let me know if there's any additional issues you see that need addressing). Sasata (talk) 17:33, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, on a broader side, I don't believe basically copy-pasting the entire thing is a good approach.
 * To be more precise it seems to me a chunk of the material at esculenta would probably be best moved in gyromitrin. With similar approach probably being best for the Amanitas: moving the "Toxicity" section from Amanita phalloides to destroying angel and using summary style from A. virosa, verna & bisporigera instead of the partial copy-pasting currently found in these articles.

 * I was thinking the same thing. Bringing all of the mushroom-related poison articles (and mushroom poisoning itself, although that's a major task) would be beneficial to the project and make the poisonous species articles more consistent and less repetitive.

 * Ok, I started the process. This article is on hold for now, I will work instead on getting the gyromitrin article up to speed. Once that's done, I'll add a summary link from Gyromitra esculenta. Then I'll update that article with any recent research to help compensate for the size lost as a result of this info-shifting. Sasata (talk) 18:48, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll do my best to help with the rewriting process whenever I have the time. Circéus (talk) 19:08, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
