Hi there! I'm in your HMB436 class this semester and wanted to recommend some sources that you might useful for your Wikipedia assignment. If you want to find more information regarding the current name of your species/ synonyms, try Samson, Robert A; Pitt, John I (2000). Integration of Modern Taxonomic Methods for Penicillium and Aspergillus Classification. Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Harwood Acad. Publ. ISBN 9058231593. Alongside a MycoBank search, you can find the phylogenetic classification of your species, and get some sense of the history regarding the species nomenclature. You can include such information in your Taxobox, and in the general introduction of your article. Alternatively, you might find it useful to dedicate a section of your article to "History/ Taxonomy," in order to discuss such aspects. If you want to get some more biological facts regarding your species, try Pitt, John I.; Hocking, Alisa D. (1985). Fungi and food spoilage (3rd ed). Dordrecht: Springer. ISBN 9780387922072. On pages 313-314, you can find some information concerning A. niger, which genetically consists of two species, one of which is the topic of your article- A. tubingensis. The text discusses how A. tubingensis is identified in the laboratory and also discusses mycotoxin production in the context of A. tubingensis. It may be useful to create article sections titled "Laboratory Identification" and "Physiology" when discussing information obtained from these resources. Hope this helps!

Hi I'm Sherry, your classmate from Dr. Scott's class

I recommend you finding out the different names for your fungus on mycobank or some other website because it will help you find more about your fungus. There you can also find if the fungus is an anamorph or a teleomorph (it's probably a teleomorph because you said it can undergo meiosis). You also need to put a phylogenetic tree in your article indicated what species it is, and what the family and order is. The best way to do that is using a phylogenetic box like the one Dr.Scott showed on the Medical Mycology wikipedia page. I noticed that you put in case studies in your article, apparently we are not suppose to do that. You might want to double check with Dr.Scott on whether you can include case studies. But if it's like an encyclopedia article, it'd best not to include it. I see a lot of fungus encyclopedia articles on taxonomy, you should include it in your article as well.
