Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Mushroom cap morphology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Morphological characteristics of the caps of mushroom, such as those illustrated in the above chart, are essential for correct mushroom identification.
Reason
High quality, informative diagram used in mushroom hunting for over three years. Large size, well illustrated and self-explanatory to the extent that a novice suddenly has the basics of mushroom identification after viewing. I doubt it is of featured quality, as it is a png image as opposed to an svg, and deals only with mushrooms, as opposed to all larger fungi species.
