Prajakta's peer review
 This species has lot of synonyms – it would be better if you could order the names chronologically. It will be easy to find names based on the year.

 External links working. (Good!)

 You could add a redirect link for “Rhizopus genus”. Wiki page does exist for this.

 Neutral tone with image and associated description. (Good!)

 There are articles got you species from which you can obtain further information. Below are some resources. Introduction section of these articles contains good information (habitat, ecology, mating behavior, pathogenicity, sporulation etc). You can also look into articles cited by these authors for more information.

Good lead section! It states important facts about the fungus such as ecology, uses, toxicology. The fungus has a lot of synonyms, I do like that you’ve placed them alphabetically, so they’re easier to find. I think if you arrange them alphabetically and subarrange them by year they would be even more organised. Maybe you could try adding sections to your article so it’s easier to find a specific fact about the fungus, for example: a section for its history, one for the physiology, toxicity, ecology, etc. That way everything looks a lot more organised and clean. It would be good to add references as well, so people can find scientific articles and books about your fungus and you can back up your information. It’s also good that you’ve added a picture of the fungus and its description.

Here’s an article I’ve found might also contain useful information about your fungus: “Current Commercial Perspective of Rhizopus oryzae: A Review” by Barnita Ghosh and Rina Rani Ray, 2011.
