editHello, Xuji94, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

editHi Xuji,
Just leaving some feedback on your article. You may want to re-look over your introduction for your article--keep it informative but simple to understand. The introduction to your article is often like an abstract in a scientific paper, you want to draw the reader in. Additionally, including any historical information only under your "History" section should be sufficient. Your growth and morphology section is quite good and extensive. However, I would include information such as the ideal growth temperature under the Physiology section instead of the growth and morphology section. Perhaps also include what type of medium your fungus has ideal growth on when grown in a lab. If you have had trouble finding information about the physiology of your fungus, I would recommend searching for articles on species closely related to your fungus—for example, other Chaetomium species. These articles often talk about related species. I found a safety data sheet for you to take a look at: www.atcc.org/~/ps/60793.ashx Additionally, check out this article on the Molecular Characterization of Chaetomium species: [[1]]. You may find it helpful in finding general information on the genus. I would expand on your Habitat and Ecology section as well--make sure to include what kind of hosts Chaetomium sp. has been known to colonize before the recent studies on its correlation with cerebral phaeohyphomycosis. Was it known to be an important human pathogen before? Plant pathogen?
Good luck!
