The contents of the Black piedra page were merged into Piedraia hortae on 4 January 2020. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page.
This article would benefit from the addition of a Mycomorphbox which lists traits used to identify this mushroom. You can help Wikipedia by adding one.
This article was the subject of an educational assignment in 2014 Q3. Further details were available on the "Education Program:University of Toronto/HMB436H Medical and Veterinary Mycology (2014 Fall)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.
Proposing merge from Black piedra to Piedraia hortae[edit]
Black piedra is the name of the diease, Piedrea hortae is the name of the agent that causes it. Medmyco (talk) 01:38, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
is that agreement? Usually is one organism causes only one disease, there is only one article. --Nessie (talk) 01:25, 4 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
most of the articles on medically important fungi have parallel articles on the diseases they cause (e.g., see Blastomyces and Blastomycosis). Despite the seeming duplication, I can see some rationale for laying it out as it is normally how encyclopaedic entries are constructed. I think these are better as separate topics, but I’d be open to considering another approach. Medmyco (talk) 03:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge. The Piedraia hortae#Pathology has much better material on the topic than the Black piedra stub so readers linked directly to Black piedra currently miss out on helpful material. The final page size would not be significantly altered. Klbrain (talk) 06:47, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
