Sorry I didn't get to this before the end of the Cup. Happy to take a look through now, though. J Milburn (talk) 18:59, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

• "The whitish underside ages grey-brown" Curious turn of phrase. How about "Turns grey-brown with age", or "Turns grey-brown as the fruit body ages"?

• Done. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• "and has undergone several changes of genera in its" Genus, surely? Compare- "I have undergone several changes of insurer in the last few years"

• Agree, fixed. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• What variety of English are we using? We have "color" and "grayish" but "grey"?

• Am. English, fixed. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• sessility is a dablink

• Fixed. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• "sheets with unusual texture and colors." How about "with an unusual texture and unusual colors" or "unusual textures and colors"?

• Changed. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• "brown heart rot" Link or explanation?

• Now linked and explained. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• "from China,[16] western Maharashta (India),[17] Iran,[18] and Japan.[19]" And Russia, presumably? Or are you treating Russia as Europe?

• Source discusses its presence in the Urals, which is borderline between the two, so added "It is also found in Europe,[15] with a range extending east to the Urals." Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• Formatting on the Saber source is a little odd?

• Oops – missing journal title, now added. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• Why have you categorised this as described in 1788?

• Not sure ... fixed to 1791. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Sources look reliable, even if they are a little obscure looking. The pictures are solid. I wonder whether there's a little more to be said about this one- I'll have a flick through some of my guidebooks tomorrow... J Milburn (talk) 19:20, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

• Sure thing, additions are welcome. Sasata (talk) 17:26, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

• Sterry P, Hughes B (2009). Complete Guide to British Mushrooms & Toadstools. HarperCollins. p. 258. ISBN 978-0-00-723224-6. Notes that it's very common- one of the 100 most common fungi in the UK. "Sometimes umbonate at the point of attachment". Fruit body grows solitarily or in tiers.
• Garnweidner E. (2011). Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain and Europe. HarperCollins. p. 182. ISBN 978-0-261-67406-6. Called "blood-stained bracket"- Shame we missed Hallowe'en! Notes that there has been continual species splits because the pores are so variable, sometimes even looking like gills.
• Courtecuisse R. (1999). Mushrooms of Britain and Europe. Collins Wildlife Trust guides. London, UK: Harpercollins. p. 337. ISBN 978-0-00-220012-7. Fruit body up to 2cm thick. Sometimes found on both sides of host. Microscopic features: "Sp 7.5-11 x 2-2.25 μm, curved. Bas 20-40 x 3-5 μm, cylindro-clavate. Numerous branched hyaline hyphidia, x2-3 μm. Trimitic: SH 3-7 μm, very thick-walled; GH 2-6 μm, thin- or thick-walled, with clamps; BH 2-5 μm." Hope you can make sense of that mycojargon- seems to include a lot of info not in the article.

• That's good stuff – I've incorporated most of it in this edit. I'm ordering the Courtecuisse book :) Sasata (talk) 05:01, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

• I came across it in a charity shop. It's pretty technical for me; certainly a good source for articles like this, but less useful when I'm just trying to work out which Russulaceae I saw in the park! Anyway, I think that little expansion has provided the umph that it needed, so I'm happy to go ahead and promote. J Milburn (talk) 08:52, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
