Which article are you evaluating?
Funga

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I choose this article because it peaked my interest in fungus, as well as does not seem to go particularly in depth about Funga and how this term plays an important role. This matters as classifying correctly is an important task in the scientific community since it can lead to mass confusion or a misrepresentation of certain organisms. This article does state how the term can help simply project's oriented towards education and conservation.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section

The articles main focus is about the term Funga which is clearly stated in the opening sentence, it is then further expanded upon giving a slight background to the term and how it is applied. However, the definition is not stated until a little further down in the content, which could make it difficult for one to know what is initially being referenced. More details about the term and why it is to be considered should be followed in the introduction section to help the reader get a better understanding, there is simply a lack of supporting information after the first couple sentences.

Content

Being a short article it is relatively up to date with current events within the subject, the introduction sections seems to be the strongest part of the article as it clearly states the purpose of the article being the term funga, then gives precise information on its origin, need in the scientific community, and in education. However, it lacks any substantial content as it is highly underdeveloped and needs much more work before being published.
