Which article are you evaluating?
Mycena manipularis

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose Mycena manipularis because I like learning about fungi and I didn't know that bioluminescent mushrooms existed. So, I want to learn more about them and the mechanisms that lead to bioluminescence in fungi.

My initial impression of this article was that although it provided very basic information about Mycena manipularis, the page itself was very underdeveloped. I was able to find quite a bit of research concerning Mycena manipularis, so I thought that I could make some contributions to it that would improve the depth of information provided.

Strengths: the article has relevant, up-to-date, and reliable sources. It also has relevant images of the fungi that supplement the written information. The written information is grammatically accurate, concise, and up-to-date. It also included synonym names for the fungi. Furthermore, the article is written with a neutral and does not have an overtly biased tone. Finally, the links in the article's citations do work and lead to reliable sources.:- Weaknesses: The article technically has good organization, however, there is very little information about the fungi on the page. So, it has little room for further organization of the information. Furthermore, the sources cited are not very thorough. They do cover the basics of the fungi, however, there is more available literature on the fungi that is not discussed in the article. Overall, the article has the basic information but is largely underdeveloped.Suggestions for Improvement: Expansion on all facets of information relating to the fungi, with the exception of scientific classification, naming, and synonyms associated with the fungi.
