Looks relatively uncontroversial; happy to take a close look. J Milburn (talk) 14:15, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• "The asci have an apical apparatus that stains blue in Melzer's reagent; it is funnel or T-shaped, somewhat like a golf tee, and measures about 4 by 4 µm." This is a curious sentence. I assume the description after the semi-colon is of the "apical apparatus", rather than the asci? If so, have you any details of the characteristics of the asci themselves?

• I've reorganized the sentence for clarity and glossed "apical apparatus". Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• "The "Siamese jelly ball" fungus, Gelatinomyces siamensis, produces fruit bodies that are superficially similar to those of E. sinensis." Why the scare-quotes?

• Removed. Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• "This species of bamboo is known as either Fargesia melanostachys or F. yulongshanensis, depending on the authority." How about something like "Specifically, E. sinensis has been recorded from a species of bamboo variously known as Fargesia melanostachys or F. yulongshanensis, depending on the authority."

• Sure, done. Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• I feel you should probably mention that Engleromyces was formerly monotypic, and that there are now only two species in the genus.

• Good idea, done. Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I've made some copyedits, please do check them. Sources are appropriate, spotchecks fine. Shame there're no pictures, but that's hardly surprising! J Milburn (talk) 14:45, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• I've just fired off an email to the main author for a photo request, so fingers are crossed! Thanks for the review. Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

• Touch wood- in the mean time, I'm happy to promote this article. J Milburn (talk) 19:30, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
