Talk:Saproamanita thiersii

Cut and paste copyvio
I discovered in the course of a peer review that at least two paragraphs are word for word cut and paste from http://www.mushroomexpert.com/amanita_thiersii.html

I am removing them next. While it is fine to use sources, the information must be in your own words. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 14:57, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

The end of the article
Is the ability to degrade cellulose somehow a unique ability among fungi? And it says "orthologous genes have been discovered" but orthologous to what? Orthology is a comparative term like the broader term homology; a single feature cannot be in itself orthologous any more than it can be homologous. --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 17:31, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The source does not mention the ability to be unique, so I do not mention it (it has ability, that is he fact). And according to the Wikipedia article Homology, Orthologs, or orthologous genes, are genes in different species that originated by vertical descent from a single gene of the last common ancestor. This implies these are a type of genes. I do not find its use as a comparative term. However, this term was in the source. Sainsf  &lt;^&gt; Talk all words 10:38, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

New name
This species has been moved to Saproamanita, and so I think that the text page should be Saproamanita thiersii and Amanita thiersii should be a redirect to that page. I propose to implement that change. Strobilomyces (talk) 17:41, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm just gonna leave these here...
Sorry if this is a noob move, but figured you guys would at least appreciate having these around to use if you want.

Other states it has been found in
I found it growing in my lawn today, which is in the middle of Iowa, so we can assume it has spread to Iowa. Please edit this page and mention this. 2604:2D80:1014:4000:5D48:6DB9:502F:F03B (talk) 23:09, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
