== [[Dictyophora indusiata]] ==

Hi, thanks for the help at [[Dictyophora indusiata]]...should I move this to the current Latin name?  I read recently that there are two different new Latin names for this mushroom:  one with external net and one without.  Strangely enough, I just found some (dried) in a Chinese grocery store yesterday and made some soup out of them.  They have a very strange and somewhat unpleasant smell but Chinese people seem to like it.  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 20:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

:Hi!  You obviously have some great Phallales where you live!  Apparently P. (or D.) indusiatus(a) exists in Europe too, but I have never seen one.  The problem of conflicting fungi names is very difficult for Wikipedia; I don't know whether it would be good to copy the page to Phallus indusiatus and make the Dictyophora page a redirect, when Dictyophora is probably a better-known name.  I wrote something about this issue at [[commons:Category_talk:Fungi|the talk page for category Fungi in Commons]], but nobody has commented.

:Without its net I believe it is very close to Phallus impudicus/hadriani; perhaps that is why it is classified as Phallus.  "''indusiatus''" definitely means that it has an indusium (= hanging net).  The taste probably distinguishes it -  P. impudicus eggs are supposed to be edible and I have talked to people who have tried (but failed) to eat them, the problem being that they are too hard (not that they are too revolting).

== Shiitake ==

Thanks for expert assistance, as always!  Dozens, if not hundreds of websites (including Webster's dictionary) [http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=432949] list shiitake as [[Agaricaceae]], though...I wonder how that confusion happened.  Or was there a recategorization?  Anyway, whatever the authority is it should be also changed on [[Shiitake]], where I've just added a taxobox.  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 18:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

== Category:Fungi on commons ==

Hi,

It is general practice not to include an article or image in two category when one of them is a subcategory of the other. The category Fungi on commons it to large to be practical. If images can be included in more than one category in the same hierarchy, it is no longer clear where to look for an image on a particular species: an image can be in 1 or more of several places, so when looking for an image to illustrate a wikipedia article I have to look both at the Fungi category, as on the subcategory of the family. It's very inconvenient. [[User:Eugene van der Pijll|Eugene van der Pijll]] 17:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

== [[Pleurotus eryngii]] ==

Hello, I've made a page for [[Pleurotus eryngii]] and wonder if you could take a look to check it?  Thanks,  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 23:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

== [[Torula]] ==

Hi, I've made an article for [[Torula]]; not sure why it didn't exist before.  From my research, it's the processed food ingredient called "torula yeast."  As usual with fungi, there's some confusion over the species name, which has changed over time, and also whether it's a yeast or a fungus.  Your expert assistance would be great.  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 00:07, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

:I am also confused over the name; all the possibilities are in [http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/namesrecord.asp?RecordID=294053 Index Fungorum] but none is preferred, and the taxonomy below Ascomycota is also uncertain.  But [http://www.itis.usda.gov/index.html ITIS] gives ''Candida'', agreeing with you.  It certainly seems to be a yeast (and a fungus). I added ''Torula utilis'' as a synonym, since this is the origin of the English term.

==[[Monascus purpureus]]==
Hi, I've just made an article about a mold, [[Monascus purpureus]]; could you check it?  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 21:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
:It looks good to me.  I don't know much about molds. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] 20:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
::I thought Index Fungorum was the "be all and end all" of fungi.  Is it incorrect about the classification of [[Monascus]]?  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 19:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
:::As you put in the original article, IF says that Monascus belongs to its own family, Monascaceae (described in 1894), but says that it is uncertain which order that family belongs to.  The NCBI classification is complete and uses names which are actually in Wikipedia.  But I see now that Monascaceae is in Wikispecies and seems well-established, also in ITIS (web site not working at present).  So probably it should be Monascaceae, not Elaphomycetaceae, and the Order should be Eurotiales.  The fact that there are many different systems makes things very difficult.[[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] 20:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

== [[Lingzhi]] ==

Hi, can you check the taxobox at [[Lingzhi]]?  I've just added it but am not sure everything is right.  Thanks,  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 04:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

== [[Hericium erinaceus]] ==

Hi, can you help with the new mushroom page I've made: [[Hericium erinaceus]]?  Thanks,  [[User:Badagnani|Badagnani]] 19:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

== Catégories sur Commons ==

Bonjour, concernant cette histoire de catégories, j'avoue que je ne me suis pas basé sur des règles approuvées, et que effectivement après réflexion, la recherche d'images par simple taxonomie n'est pas chose aisée. D'un autre côté, je n'ai rien vu qui déconseille ce mode de catégorisation non plus.

Cependant les placer dans cette catégorie me semble relever de la double catégorisation. De plus, à mon avis, la catégorie Fungi ne doit pas devenir un bazar à liens non plus (il y a d'ailleurs déjà du ménage à faire avec toutes les photos) ; je ne sais pas combien il y a de pages sur les champignons en tout, mais cela deviendra vite illisible au fur et à mesure des ajouts. Il faudrait peut-être trouver une autre catégorie dédiée au classement par espèces, encore que ça va aussi devenir le carnaphaüm rapidement, mais faute de mieux... La recherche par genre (relativement fixe) ne pourrait-elle pas suffir ?

Enfin, si tu préfères que je (re)mette les pages dans la catégorie Fungi, je peux m'en ocupper. Mais vu que le problème est général à tous les médias concernant la biologie, il faudrait peut-être demander l'avis à l'ensemble de la communauté sur cette affaire. Je n'ai pas trouvé de discussions à ce propos, mais je ne doute pas qu'il y en ait déjà eu (elles doivent être enfouies au plus profond de WP :).

À suivre ? [[:fr:Utilisateur:Pmx|Pmx]] 15:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

== items for discussion on wikiproject fungi talk page ==

Hi, I have put 2 subjects for discussion on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fungi]] talk page concerning common names and species lists for discussion in order to get some consensus and then they can go on the guidelines on the project page. cheers [[User:Casliber|Cas Liber]] 11:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

== Sporocarp and related articles ==

About 6 months ago, we discussed creating the article [[ascocarp]]. Related to this, there's been a bunch of low-level and scattered discussion as to what to do with the articles [[fruiting body]], [[sporocarp]], [[basidiocarp]], and [[ascocarp]]. I have a comprehensive plan for these articles at [[Talk:Sporocarp]]. Have a look at this proposal and weigh in on it if you have an opinion.

== Mastigomycotines ==

Someone just created an article [[Mastigomycotines]] with the text "Does anyone know what another name for this might be??". I quickly found out that this should redirect to [[Mastigomycotina]], but that doesn't exist either. And neither do the three classes mentioned at [http://www.answers.com/topic/mastigomycotina-1 Mastigomycotina at answers.com], otherwise I would have put together a quick stub. And the classification given at [http://www.answers.com/topic/fungi fungi at answers.com] looks quite different from ours at [[Fungus]], so I have absolutely no idea where to place that. Since you seem to know something about fungi, could you patch this hole in the encyclopedia, please? [[User:Lupo|Lupo]] 22:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

:Hello.  Sorry I have not answered before, I have not had much time for Wikipedia lately.  The 3 classes within Mastigomycotina ([[Chytridiomycetes]], [[Hyphochytridiomycota|Hyphochitridiomycetes]], and [[Oomycetes]]) did actually have pages in Wikipedia under various names.  The main problem is that Chytridiomycetes are still considered Fungi, but the other two are now considered [[Protist]]s, in a completely different kingdom.  And they are sometimes classes and sometimes elevated to being phyla themselves.  So the group Mastigomycotina is obsolete and it is difficult to fit any explanation of it into Wikipedia - but I think it is still important to mention it, as people using older references still need an explanation.  [http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/wong/Bot201/Myxomycota/Introduction.htm This page] gives a good account of older and newer systems.  It is completely normal in mycology (and I suppose in the study of protists) that there are lots of systems of classification, which use lots of different names for the same thing.  [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] 20:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

== Help! ==

Bonjour,

I used two of your excellent photographs for my little page [[fr:Pseudoclitocybe]]. Would you by any chance have something on hand to illustrate [[fr:Melanoleuca]] and [[fr:Catathelasma]]?

Thank you in advance,

Jean-Pierre ([[fr:Utilisateur:Jplm]])

:Hello, I added a photo to [[fr:Melanoleuca]] (but I don't know what species it is).  I don't know ''Catathelasma''.[[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] 16:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

::Merci ; they sure look like ''melanoleuca'' all right but I couldn't tell which species either - I would say ''grammopodia'', but I will not write it.

::As for ''catathelasma'', it is mainly known for ''catathelasma imperiale'' (ex - ''agaricus imp.''), but I have never met any.

== Lepista/Paralepista flaccida ==

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hi, and thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Strobilomyces|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give [[:Lepista flaccida]] a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into [[:Paralepista flaccida]]. This is known as a "[[Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves|cut-and-paste move]]", and it is undesirable because it splits the [[Help:Page history|page history]], which is [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia|legally required for attribution]].  Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be ''moved'' to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is [[WIkipedia:Autoconfirmed|four days old and has ten edits]], you should be able to move an article yourself using the [[Help:Moving a page|"Move" tab]] at the top of the page (the tab may be [[:File:Vector hidden move button.jpg|hidden in a dropdown menu]] for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|requested moves]] to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at [[Wikipedia:Requests for history merge]]. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-c&pmove--> 

Sorry about the templated warning, but it covers the issues more eloquently than me. I saw you also added information to ''Clitocybe amoenolens'' regarding its current placement in ''Paralepistopsis''. I've moved the article to ''[[Paralepistopsis amoenolens]]'', but there's no reason you shouldn't have been able to do it yourself. Please take a minute to find the move button so you don't need to do cut-and-paste moves in the future (or leave species at an outdated binomial). And thanks for your work.

== Taxonomy (''Amanita aspera'') ==
Unfortunately, as with some other species too, you are wrong with your claim that Amanita aspera is identical to Amanita franchetti. Neither Index Fungorum nor MycoBank see it that way. So, for example, your modification Lactarius theiogalus would be the same as Lactarius tabidus is absolutely wrong and should be changed. It would make sense if you matched your preferred interpretations with the facts. All the best.--[[User:Sacha47| Sacha47]] ([[User talk: Sacha47|talk]]) 06:55, 3 August 2020 (CEST)
:Hello.  I assume that your comments refer to [[w:ro:Talk:Amanita_regalis|this talk page]] where I said that ''Amanita aspera'' was a synonym of ''Amanita franchetii'' ("identical" is your word, not mine).  

:I don't know why you think that Index Fungorum disagrees with my claim; on the contrary it supports it fully.  The history of the name ''Amanita aspera'' can be seen conveniently by going to  [http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp the search page], setting "search by" to "Epithet", and searching for "aspera".

:The name ''Amanita aspera'' was first defined in 1800 by [[Christiaan Hendrik Persoon|Persoon]] to mean what is now called ''[[Echinoderma asperum]]''.  It is a very bad name for something which we now know to be like a ''Lepiota'', not like an ''Amanita'' in the current sense, but he did name it like that.  See also the [http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/NamesRecord.asp?RecordID=465205 Species Fungorum page for ''Amanita aspera'' (Pers.) Pers.]

:But after that authors started to use the name ''Amanita aspera'', without very close attention to Persoon's definition, for something which actually was an ''Amanita'', and which must have been similar to what is now ''Amanita franchetii''.  Index Fungorum also has [http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/NamesRecord.asp?RecordID=476739 a page for this mistaken use], showing it as a synonym of ''A. franchetii''.  On this page the text "sensu auct. mult." is given in place of an author citation, meaning "in the (bad) sense of multiple authors".

:But then someone discovered that Persoon's definition applied to the species ''Echinoderma asperum'' not an ''Amanita'' and so by the nomenclatural rules, the new usage was invalid.  There must have been a consensus that the first valid definition of the mushroom they had been calling ''A. aspera'' was ''A. franchetii'' (Boud.) Fayod, which was defined in 1889.  I have a translation of Moser dating to 1978 which mentions ''A. aspera'' as a species and a Bon of 1987 which says ''A. aspera'' is a synonym of ''A. franchetii'', so I think that the discovery of the error must have been made between those dates.  Thereafter no mycologist could ever again use ''A. aspera'' in a publication as a current name, and I don't believe you can find a reference to a reputable work after that time which does so.  Also Courtecuisse (1994) and Funga Nordica (2012) give ''A. aspera'' is a synonym of ''A. franchetii''.  I can give detailed references if you wish.  Also [http://www.mycobank.org/Biolomics.aspx?Table=Mycobank&Rec=192508&Fields=All Mycobank] is consistent with this story and only gives the original meaning of Persoon as ''E. asperum''.

:'''The only valid sense of the combination ''Amanita aspera'' is to mean ''Echinoderma asperum''.'''  But while that is nomenclaturally valid, it would be completely misleading and perverse to use it.  Unfortunately old names do occasionally become unusable due to such errors of conflict with the original definition and I think something similar happened with the name ''Lactarius theiogalus'', but there the name was used in different senses (for ''chrysorrheus'', ''hepaticus'' and ''tabidus'').  But that is a whole different subject which is at least equally complicated.

:My claim is that ''Amanita aspera'' is a synonym of ''Amanita franchetti'' in the sense that it was (invalidly) used for many years.  This synonymy is well documented, especially in Index Fungorum.  Nobody who used the term recently would have been using it in the true sense of an ''Echinoderma''.  I think my interpretation matches the references and the facts.  Can you provide any evidence that my account is wrong or that ''Amanita aspera'' as an ''Amanita'' is a real species with a valid definition, or that it is different from ''Amanita franchetti''?  What further evidence would you require to show that my version of the story is right?  [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces#top|talk]]) 17:38, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
::Well I can read, and the facts look like this: Your ''Amanita aspera'' = ''Amanita franchetti''? '' is declared in Index Fungorum'' ''Amanita aspera'' = ''Echinoderma asperum'' [http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/namesrecord.asp?RecordID=465205], while for ''Mycobank'', ''Amanita aspera'' = ''Lepiota aspera'' (!)[http://www.mycobank.org/BioloMICS.aspx?TableKey=14682616000000067&Rec=192508&Fields=All]. Furthermore, ''Amanita franchetti'' is, according to ''Index Fungorum'', the current name for some variations,[http://www.speciesfungorum.org/GSD/GSDspecies.asp?RecordID=355836], as well as you can see in ''MycoBank''[http://www.mycobank.org/BioloMICS.aspx?TableKey=14682616000000067&Rec=124206&Fields=All].--[[User:Sacha47| Sacha47]] ([[User talk: Sacha47|talk]]) 06:45, 4 August 2020 (CEST)
:::You seem to be contradicting me, but I don't understand where you say I am wrong.  The references which you give above are good and they back up what I say.  On the ''Amanita regalis'' talk page you gave your references, which are 1. Bruno Cetto: „Der große Pilzführer”, vol. 2, Editura BLV Verlagsgesellschaft, München, Berna, Viena 1980, p. 18-19, ISBN 3-405-12081-0; and 2. Marcel Bon: „Pareys Buch der Pilze”, Editura Kosmos, Halberstadt 2012, p. 296, ISBN 978-3-440-13447-4.  I answered there and I will copy most of my answer here.

::: The only valid use of the name ''Amanita aspera'' is for species ''Echinoderma asperum'', which is the same as ''Lepiota aspera'', but that makes no sense as it is quite a different mushroom, not an ''Amanita'' in the modern meaning of the word.  In the last 100 years or so, any serious use of the term ''Amanita aspera'' must have been invalidly of an actual ''Amanita'', in fact the species which is now called ''Amanita franchetti'', and that must be the sense in which it is used in your references.  Index Fungorum has [http://www.speciesfungorum.org/Names/NamesRecord.asp?RecordID=476739 a page for this wrong use of the name], as I explained at length on my talk page.

:::1980 was around the time that the error in the use of ''A. aspera'' was discovered (I indicated 1978 - 1987 in my previous comment), so it is no surprise that Cetto is still using that meaning.  I have Marcel Bon: "The Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain and North-western Europe", Hodder & Stoughton, Domino Books Ltd., St. Helier, Jersey, ISBN: 0-340-39935-X, 1987,  which says on page 296 that ''A. aspera'' is a synonym of ''A. franchetii''.  I think that 2012 is not the relevant date for your second reference, "Pareys Buch der Pilze" goes back to 1988 and I think that the text must date from that time if it gives ''A. aspera'' as a current name (and Bon must have written the text even earlier).  In your two references ''A. aspera'' must have been used in the sense of what is now called ''A. franchetii''.

:::Anyway, what I say is right and amply backed up by Index Fungorum and other sources.  The name ''Amanita aspera'' should not be used any more and the only reason that it should be mentioned in the Wikipedia projects is to explain this historical confusion. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces#top|talk]]) 12:18, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
::::Unfortunately, you could not convince me. You did not really answer to my objections regarding the terms of the two most important nomenclature committees, probably because you have no convincing evidence. Well, I will stick to the taxon the species is called in Romania, among other by Dr. Ing. Ioana Tudor.--[[User:Sacha47| Sacha47]] ([[User talk: Sacha47|talk]]) 13:52, 5 August 2020 (CEST)

:{{ping|Diannaa}} OK, I thought it would be enough to just give the reference, but I'll do something like your change next time. [[User:Strobilomyces|Strobilomyces]] ([[User talk:Strobilomyces#top|talk]]) 16:50, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

== Wiki of Functions followup ==

Hi there, I'm a researcher for the Wikilambda project. Last month we held a naming contest and I'm following up with those who voted to see if you might be willing to provide some feedback to help guide the project.

This would be a 45 minute conversation about your past experience with other Wikimedia projects and thoughts about the future of this new initiative. I'm hoping to gather a wide range of perspectives so I'd be interested in your opinion regardless of whether you plan to have further involvement.

As a way of saying thanks, the research team is offering a $35 gift card (in your local currency) for participation. We could chat by phone or through a webpage for audio conferencing.

If you're interested just pick a time slot from this calendar link:<br>
https://calendly.com/wikilambda/voter

Hope to hear from you soon!

* The newsletter will not be returning to a monthly format (mainly because the author is busy failing every exam imaginable) and is on a bimonthly schedule for the foreseeable future.
* The second round of the WikiCup was very competitive, requiring the highest points total to advance since 2014. Two TOL editors, {{noping|AryKun}} and {{noping|Fritzmann2002}}, advanced to the third round.
* The March edition of our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life/Contest|monthly rolling contest]] was won by {{noping|simongraham}}, who amassed 118 points from 21 articles on various species of jumping spider; in second place was {{noping|Quetzal1964}} with 109 points from 53 articles on marine ray-finned fish.
* Quetzal1964 and simongraham were also the top two in the April edition, although Quetzal was ahead this time, with 68 points to simongraham's 48. In the annual leaderboard, Quetzal and simongraham are in first and second place respectively, with 291 and 246 points; in third place is {{noping|Snotoleks}}, with 76 points.
