Merry Christmas, Sasata! Just one thing: In Tax and naming, sentence "In 1935, Jean D. Arnold raised it from varietal to specific status, calling it Collybia cookei, after all attempts to produce hybrids between it and C. cirrata or mycelial fusions between the two species failed."

• Is hybridization and/or mycelial fusion routinely used to delineate a species from varietal status? I'm guessing a variety would be able to hybridize with the parent species. Rcej (Robert) - talk 07:09, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

• Merry Christmas to you too! I've added a bit to hopefully clarify the use of mating studies for distinguishing between fungal taxa (someday we'll have a better article to explain this stuff). Thanks! Sasata (talk) 17:30, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

• Much better! Rcej (Robert) - talk 08:01, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
