Thanks kindly for reviewing!
  • Is there anything to say about its relationships within Tremella?
  • Would it be better to make the mycobox just leave out a row instead of saying "N.A."
  • What are conidiophores and conidia?

There are quite a few hits on Web of Knowledge—145. I haven't looked in detail, but will probably go through it tomorrow (working on a little bat now). Ucucha 18:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Many of these articles are about chemical/biological analysis of polysaccharides produced by the fungus, and methods for optimizing polysaccharide production in liquid culture; I think most of these details will be of little interest to the casual reader (there is much less known about the medicinal properties of these compounds compared to those of its cousin, T. fuciformis). That being said, tonight I will add a paragraph or two to summarize this research. Sasata (talk) 21:00, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article certainly meets the GA criteria, so I'm passing it now. I think I'll wait a little with the literature review, if that's necessary at all. Thanks for the extra section. Ucucha 15:05, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
