Pretty little fungus! Just a nip and tuck, she's ready:

In taxonomy; sentence "In 1952, Marcel Locquin chose to place it in the genus Armillaria as Armillaria atkinsoniana."

I see your sources on that are limited. Why did Locquin choose that? Was it moved officially to Armillaria, then reverted to Amanita?

There was nothing official, Locquin just published his opinion about this species' classification, an opinion which few agreed with. I found a good explanatory quote from Singer, but it seemed a little off-topic so I moved it to a footnote. Sasata (talk) 06:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In description, define 'pseudorrhiza' and clarify "The stem often roots into the soil beneath the bulb, which tapers to a point if no pseudorrhiza is present." I couldn't find a wikt or wiki, but I sorta guess what you're gettin' at ;) Rcej (Robert) - talk 05:46, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clarified. Thanks for reviewing! Sasata (talk) 06:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
