First, you need to mention the name of your fungi in the article with a brief introduction. Could be to what kingdom or family it belongs to. I had a hard time finding the name of your fungi in your article. It's only mentioned in the binomial name section. You can change the name to "Madurella mycetomatis" from "Adamsgro/sandbox" by clicking edit on top of the page and then clicking the box, and selecting edit again. A mini window appears where you can change the caption.

In the history section you might want to include this: "About 40 years ago Abs against the fungus Madurella mycetomatis were first demonstrated to be present in eumycetoma patients, a disease characterized by tumorous swellings." I got it from the article, "Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein from Madurella mycetomatis, a Marker for Tumorous Mycetoma Progression."

You could also mention the similarity or sequence homology of it with Aspergillus oryzae, a hypothetical protein from Gibberella zeae, and casein kinase I from Danio rerio. Info collected from: Genotyping of Madurella mycetomatis by Selective Amplification of Restriction Fragments (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) and Subtype Correlation with Geographical Origin and Lesion Size.

Honestly, I really like your article, and you have mentioned A LOT of facts related to your fungi. Good Job!!! AdibaR (talk) 04:51, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adamsgro,

The taxonomy box should have the name of the fungi on the top of it instead of the name of the sandbox. Your taxonomy box seems to be lacking in synonyms for your fungi. The authority name and date for your fungi in the binomial name part of the taxonomy box is also missing. You can find some synonyms and their respective authority names and dates as well as your fungi's authority name and date can be found on mycobank. (http://www.mycobank.org/BioloMICS.aspx?Table=Mycobank&Rec=462033&Fields=All).

A good source for you might be "Madurella Mycetomatis as an Agent of Brain Abscess: Case Report and Review of Literature" By Mir et. al as it explains that your fungus may be a causative agent of fungal cerebral abscesses. There is some general background information about it and a case study in the review as well.

If possible you could try to find the etymology of your fungus as well. Your mycosis section was very throughly researched and written out as I discovered doing preliminary research on your fungi and as you mentioned in your sandbox you do need to expand your history and ecology sections.

Very good job overall. Lantsford (talk) 22:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Admasgro!

•	Have you tried looking for the literature in the UOFT library website for the ones you found inaccessible? If not, you may try there.

•	Morphology: it is very detailed. Can you elaborate more on the grain formation using the larva model? If possible (and if you think it is needed), you can add a simple explanation of the staining method following the sentence or add a link to it for readers that want to know how the staining is done? You also mention the presence or absence of some metal ions in the grain. Do you know the function in the grain, other than the Ca2+?

•	If it does not have sexual stage nor produce conidia, then I assume it relies on vegetative reproduction for dispersal. Have you found any information about this?

•	I have actually found a source that recorded the microscopic appearance of conidia of your fungus. So, I am not sure if it is true that it doesn’t produce conidia. But I am not as informative as your to this fungus. You may take a look at it. It is page 260-261, chapter 10 in Identification of Pathogenic Fungi by C.K. Campbell et al. (2013). You can find access to it on the UOFT library online database.

•	Your mycosis section is very detailed and well-explained!! I can really see your efforts! Awesome!

•	Your outline is really good! There are not much I can add or change. But remember to use full name when the species is first-time introduced in the article, such as the larva, G. mellonellam.

•	Most of the literature I can find are already listed in your reference list! Awesome! But I still cannot find literature that mentions the history of your fungus. I would suggest you start by looking at the oldest literature that mention it.
