I have proposed a merger between two duplicate articles: soybean rust and Asian soybean rust. The former is tagged as a mid-importance article on WikiProject Fungi. Kolbasz (talk) 17:46, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
I've opened up an "Article for Deletion" here that's within the scope of this project. Sasata (talk) 19:52, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Both pages represent what has been observed, researched and documented as being the same mushroom. The two names are widely considered to be synonymous with each other. A redirection from Psilocybe australiana would be needed as it is still being listed as a seperate species throughout the internet.
The defining reference for this is listed in the references for Psilocybe subaeruginosa.

Wikipedia:HighBeam describes a limited opportunity for Wikipedia editors to have access to HighBeam Research.

... there has been a major shakeup in the genus Morchella, resulting in the publication of 14 new North American species. I started stubs for all, and even have a pic for one thanks to BlueCanoe. Exciting times for fans of mushroom taxonomy ! Sasata (talk) 06:53, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
I recommend giving the article a look over before it runs. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Tapinellaceae belong to Boletales, not Agaricales (see e.g Larsson 2007). I am quite new to editing wikipedia though and am not aware of all the pages that need to be changed to reflect that (lists of families? categories? etc?), maybe someone smarter here is better suited to try? For now I have only edited the Tapinellaceae page itself. VilmarVeldre (talk) 14:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
hello,
I currently translated an article from the German article (which is a good article there), but I am not sure if Amylostereaceae is the plural form of Amylostereum, or is it something completely different? Also, how will you say to more than one Amylostereum? Amylostereum fungi? Or "Amylosterea"... I don't know. All help appreciated! Thanks.--GoPTCN 17:13, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
hello,
this may sound stupid but I am not sure if it is correct to say "evolution" in fungi articles, and if not what is the correct term? Regards.--GoPTCN 08:56, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
hello,
do you think that categories such as "forest pests" or "white rot pathogens" are useful? Or do we tend to be more specific? I would like to discuss it here before I create them. Regards.--GoPTCN 10:26, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Does someone have a good reference for the size of microsporidia? The size in the microsporidia article (1-40 micrometres) seems unlikely to me. Nephron T|C 21:07, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
Yesterday I uploaded to Commons a bunch of micrographs that I made for a course I used to teach. They were taken back at the turn of the century, using what seemed at the time to be really high-resolution cameras. There are more to come, but not necessarily soon. I've only listed the fungi and lichens here; the full list is at WP:PLANTS.
Enjoy!--Curtis Clark (talk) 22:19, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
I just discovered that this template existed. Can someone who speaks template code tell me if it would be a good idea to change all of our current uses of ((Template:Botanist)) over to this one? Sasata (talk) 05:11, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
hello,
was the move from Listerella paradoxa to Listerelliidae correct? Regards.--GoPTCN 12:35, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
"If there is a choice of scientific names, generally use the lowest-ranked taxon which the article covers (i.e., species vs. genus), but for monotypic genera (where the genus has only one known species), use the genus name for the article title:
From WP:Naming conventions (flora):
"However, because genera are better known than the other ranks (and families are better known than orders): A family or order with a single genus is treated at the article for that genus."
However, I'm not sure the taxonomy presented in the article is up to date. Several sources (MycoBank, Index Fungorum, Catalogue of Life, Dictionary of the Fungi 2008) give the family as Listerellaceae (rather than Listerelliidae), and the order as Liceida. To further confuse the issue, the Dictionary says that Listerellaceae is synonymous with Liceaceae (which they indicate is the preferred name). According to them, Liceaceae has 1 genus and 66 species (mostly in the genus Licea). I usually default to the Dictionary for taxonomical matters, but occasionally they are wrong or outdated. Not sure how to resolve this without digging into the literature. Sasata (talk) 15:49, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
A. Phalloides has been located in Redding Calif. The characteristics seem to match Amanita Arocheue. Light brown on top, and yellowish under the cap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.231.249.176 (talk) 03:56, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
The article Beauveria says "B. nivea is [now] Tolypocladium inflatum", while this source claims that T. inflatum is the old name. Could somebody help with finding a source for which is actually the present name? --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 09:07, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Fungi for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 00:54, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
At some point we appear to have started attempting to promulgate a novel system of toxicity icons for fungi (, , , ). I think this is a bad idea, partly because it is essentially a novel synthesis but also because it's not our job to act as a how-to, and there is an obvious risk in using a simple icon to say that a fungus is safe or not, given the acknowledged ambiguity in differential identification of many fungi, and in some cases this will in any case depend on preparation or dose. So, it's a nice idea but ultimately I think not properly Wikipedian. Guy (Help!) 11:24, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Hey all, my plant pathology class is expanding plant pathogen articles for a project. We were questioning whether to title the articles according to the disease (ex. Citrus Black Spot) or scientific name of the causal agent (ex. Guignardia citricarpa). We thought factors like economic importance and public knowledge of the disease could be important in selecting the article title. Thanks! GreenOnions22 (talk) 01:20, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Is the title of Thielaviopsis fraxinea correct? It's a apparently a synonym for Chalara fraxinea which is in the news but I can't find any uses of Thielaviopsis fraxinea outside of Wikipedia. Even if it is technically correct for some taxonomical reason, shouldn't we call it Chalara fraxinea as researchers do ? SmartSE (talk) 20:51, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello all, I usually work on creating butterfly and moth articles, but am currently attending a photography course. I am trying my hand at macro-photography and in the process have come across a lot of mushrooms/fungi. I made pictures, but do not have the knowledge to ID them. All photo's were taken in the region of Twente (near the village of Delden mostly) in The Netherlands in September/October in either grassland or forested areas. If anyone is interested in providing an ID, I would be delighted! Some of them might be usefull for articles? If so, I would be happy to help, but would probably need some guidance. Uploading in progress, will post links soon... Ruigeroeland (talk) 21:59, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello! I was just wondering if there were any red-link articles that needed creation for this project in particular. I create stubs personally, so they are of good quality. I would be delighted to work for this project. Thank you, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:17, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi guys and gals. We've recieved a request for an ID on a fungi species over at the reference desk. Could someone from here pop over and have a look for us? Cheers. [[3]] douts (talk) 00:11, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
What other places has this fungi been found ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.133.43.230 (talk) 17:59, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
I was amazed to realize that Category:Fungi of the United States didn't already exist. I created it and added the one article that caused me to realize this gap. I know there are lots of articles that belong in this category (or even yet-to-be-created regional subcats), but I don't know what they are. Please populate this category.
