Amanita bisporigera is one of several deadly toxic "destroying angel" mushrooms, and of high importance for the fungi Wikiproject. I've done what I can with researching and copyediting, and look forward to any suggestions for improvement you might have. Sasata (talk) 17:41, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sources comment: JSTOR articles (3 at present) should be indicated (subscription required). Otherwise all sources look OK, no further issues. Brianboulton (talk) 09:54, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Images:
File:Amanita_bisporigera_basidia.jpg needs the death date of the author (or you can claim PD in the US because it was published before 1923). File:Amanita_ocreata_874.jpg is licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA, which is incompatible with our licensing, and has been nominated for deletion, correctly as far as I can see.All other images look OK.
- I believe the license I used already claims PD in the US, so it should be okay (couldn't find the death date, anyway). I have replaced the Amanita ocreata image with one that has a wiki-compatible CC-BY-SA. Sasata (talk) 04:38, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I missed the second PD template. However, the first one still claims PD because the author died more than 70 years ago, and you can hardly do that when you don't know when he died. Ucucha 05:42, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Was it published in the US, though? If not, you'll need to move the image over to en.wiki and get templates like on File:Hadropithecus Lorenz pl 1.png. Ucucha 19:12, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The journal (currently known as the International Journal of Plant Sciences) was published by the University of Chicago Press. Thanks for the support. Sasata (talk) 19:25, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"Midwestern and Eastern"—I would use lowercase here; are you sure this is correct?
- Wouldn't the correct name for the species be striatula if that name is a synonym?
The way you're piping potassium hydroxide creates an easter egg link.
Is anything known about the chemical basis for the yellow staining?
You have "white Amanitas" one and then "white Amanitas" further down.
The lead and the body are at variance a couple of times: for example, the distribution in North America is described differently, and the body says the Colombian population may have been introduced whereas the lead says it has been.
Might the following be useful?

- One of the two cases was poisoning partially due to A. bisporigera, but I think what's in this paper fits better in an article like mushroom poisoning. Thanks for reviewing & the copyedit. Sasata (talk) 04:38, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Deadly" twice in para 1 — "lethal" for one?
- It's technically a basidiospore, but that article is weak so I'm reluctant to link to it. Someday I'll work on it and ascospore that so I may link to them without shame. Sasata (talk) 20:12, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Do we know what substance or reaction is involved in the KOH colour test?
Support Comments: The article looks really good. My only concern is that Lewis' 1906 illustration is described in the text, but shows up in the next section, "Toxicity"... at least at my high resolution. I've been tinkering with image placement and I think I found something that works for both high and low resolution. Feel free to revert me if you don't like it. But once we come to an agreement on this one issue, I will offer my support. – VisionHolder « talk » 15:32, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That edit places the Lewis picture in its proper section, but now the cladogram shows up in the description section. I left-aligned it and placed it at the top of the taxonomy section. I also decreased the size of the yellow-staining pic, as it doesn't need to be large to get the point across. How does that look? There's a bit of a text squeeze between it and the taxobox, but I don't really know how to resolve that short of moving the whole section down (which I don't want to do, as it then won't follow the layout of other fungal FAs).
