Okay. I've verified all the criteria and this article is an easy pass. I found only only typo issue, all statements are verifiable to reliable sources; It is broad (in my opinion, it covers all the possible questions I may ask about this species) and focused; it is written from a neutral point of view and all the images are from commons, no no copyright issues here. My result: passed. — ΛΧΣ21 15:51, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Volvariella bombycina1.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 11, 2014. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2014-02-11. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:42, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
