Talk:Rhodotus

Untitled
I have done a preliminary check of my Australian mushroom books and can't see any references to this one in any of them (however, Aussie fungal knowledge in books is meagre...). Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:43, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking. Sasata (talk) 22:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

First read comments from GG
"Rhodotus is a genus of fungi in the Physalacriaceae family of mushrooms"
 * Does fungi and mushroom have the same meaning here?
 * Fungi refers to the Kingdom, mushroom refers to a particular type of fungus; I just wanted to emphasize that the other members of this family were also mushrooms. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"A monotypic genus, it" and "An uncommon species, it"
 * Repetitive construction
 * Fixed. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

In synonyms: "Lentinula reticeps (Murr.) Murr."
 * Repetition of Murr.
 * Unfortunately, this is the correct nomenclature. It means that Murrill was the first to publish a description of the fungus, and then later the first to officially sanction it. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"French botanist Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard"
 * Do we need his full name?
 * But it sounds so cool when you read it aloud! No, shortened. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"publication by René Maire" Profession, nationality for her?
 * Done. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"Kühner and Romagnesi " Redlink?
 * Not yet... a very preliminary search shows insufficient info to warrant an article on either of these guys, but will keep looking. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"0.8 to 2.4 in" and "5.6–6.5 µm"
 * Be consistent
 * Ok. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"R. palmatus has been reported from Canada,[31][32] Iran,[33] Hungary,[34] Italy,[35] Slovakia,[36] West Germany,[37]"
 * All the links to references are obtrusive. Why not have one link at the end referring to a group of references.
 * Am reluctant to do this unless there's a clear consensus. My idea is that the precisely situated cites make it easier for a reader to verify information. Doing it the other way (in this case) would result in a clump of cites at the end, which I've seen others complain about at FAC. Will change it if others feel the same way as you. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"Indiana"
 * Link?
 * Ok. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"Some short gills, called lamellulae, do not extend entirely from the cap edge to the stem."
 * One sentence captions should not have a full stop.
 * Fixed. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"Rhodotus palmatus: the lonely mushroom" and "Recommended English Names for Fungi in the UK" (PDF)
 * Both link to pdf, one has a logo, the other not.
 * Not sure how to fix this... I think it's because the one link has .pdf in the address, the other doesn't. Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"The position of the genus Rhodotus within the order Agaricales has historically been somewhat uncertain, and it has been placed variously in the families Amanitaceae, Entolomataceae, and Tricholomataceae; molecular phylogenetics analysis has helped determine that Rhodotus is most closely related to genera in the Physalacriaceae."
 * Long sentence, maybe replace semi-colon by full stop.
 * Done. Sasata (talk)

GeometryGirl (talk) 14:43, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Very glad to see you back for more mushroom critique, GGirl! Sasata (talk) 16:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

"One sentence captions should not have a full stop."
This is not right, according to MoS Captions, "If a complete sentence occurs in a caption, that sentence and any sentence fragments in that caption should end with a period." Please see. Cheers, SlamMeMore 21:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops. What about if the sentence is non-verbal? GeometryGirl (talk) 21:58, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You mean a sentence without words? My guess is that you wouldn't need to worry about punctuation in that case. --SlamMeMore 22:52, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I mean a sentence like "X, a nice illustration of Y" GeometryGirl (talk) 15:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

quality of light
Is the word "quality" some kind of mycologists terminology to describe the wavelength of light? The word sounds a bit judgmental. Maybe "type", "kind" or "variety" would be more neutral. GeometryGirl (talk) 07:45, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Have changed to the less ambiguous word "color" instead of quality, thanks for spotting what I had overlooked. Sasata (talk) 08:39, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You are welcome. There is another occurrence of "quality" further down. GeometryGirl (talk) 09:05, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Just noticed this (the disadvantage of having 6000 articles on your watchlist...) and have replaced it. Sasata (talk) 15:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Legal protection in the Czech Republic
It gain legal protection also in the Czech Republic because it is listed as Critically Threatened species according to the Czech Code, Decree No. 395/1992 of the Ministry of the Environment (The Czech Republic) implementing some of the provisions of the Act No. 114/1992 in the wording of later regulations (No. 175/2006 Sb.). --Snek01 (talk) 22:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Conservation status
Is it possible to include a conservation status indicator in the box on the right hand side of the article? The article includes descriptive information but a definitive graphing is usual in other articles of this kind. Manytexts (talk) 22:10, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Rhodotus → Rhodotus palmatus – The genus is no longer monotypic with the discovery of Rhodotus asperior in 2013. 115.188.159.190 (talk) 20:22, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Makes more sense to add a paragraph or two on the new species than to rename the article. &#8213; Synpath 23:15, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not find much info on Rhodotus asperior outside of the primary reference I added to the article in the Taxonomy section. I also changed the lede to reflect that the genus is no longer monotypic. &#8213; Synpath 00:00, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Since the new species was discovered by phylogenetic analysis of what was Rhodotus palmatus, then the info in the article could apply to either R. palmatus or R. asperior or both, right? If this is the case, shouldn't this article remain at Rhodotus and a new article be created for R. palmatus if needed?  —  AjaxSmack  04:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
