Nice! I'm thinking this is our first fungus review of '11. A couple things:
- First of many, I hope :) Sasata (talk) 22:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Define the specific epithet australis... mate! ;)
- Done. Sasata (talk) 22:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- From how it reads: Was Stevenson considering Limacella macrospora to be similar to A. australis, or an entirely new species (that coincidentally would be later considered a synonym)? Rcej (Robert) - talk 08:46, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- From the description it seems like the specimen was slightly decomposed (slimy and sour-smelling), which led her to believe it was a Limacella (which is similar to Amanita, but slimy). Hope this is clear in the article now. Thanks Robert! Sasata (talk) 22:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Better :) But, clarify if the specimens she designated Limacella macrospora were from the same collection as A. australis; the ultimate finding of synonymy reads too coincidental if we don't understand that these came from the same geographical area and it was basically her observations that differentiated them.

- Gotcha ... added the site and date of the Limacella collection, and also a quote from Ridley explaining why he thought they were the same. Sasata (talk) 06:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- 'Atta boy!! ;) Rcej (Robert) - talk 07:41, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
