Bagsy! I'll do the actual reviewing in a few minutes. J Milburn (talk) 16:39, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"a narrow sterile band" Not clear what this means in context to people who don't know mushrooms
"lobed or lacerated" again
"striate" Link or explanation?
"and two or three tiers of lamellae (short gills that do not reach the stem)." Is "lamellae" not just synonymous with "gill"?
"filiform or up to 1 mm thick" Why "or"? Surely they aren't mutually exclusive?
I think there are server problems, but there does not appear to be a wiktionary entry for "filiform"
"but "one usually has to get down on hands and knees to find it!"." But that? Also, I'm not sure if the last fullstop (period) is necessary?
"cheilocystidium and pleurocystidia" our article on cystidia covers the issue, I believe? I think a link to an encyclopedia article would be more useful than a dictionary entry in this case.
"the cortical layer" Link/explanation?
You mention hyphae in the similar species section, but not in the main description?
"clamps" Link? Also, again, no mention in the main description
"a North American species and European species" repetition of "species"?
"excrescences" Link?
Washington is a dablink

Sourcing and illustrations are top-notch as usual. J Milburn (talk) 17:41, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review! I hope this edit resolves your concerns. All of these recent Mycena articles I've "translated" from Smith's descriptions written in nearly incomprehensible myco-jargon to something resembling normal English, but it tends to get tedious after a while, so I miss stuff :)

Nicely done. Promoted. J Milburn (talk) 18:59, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
