Now this is a nice set—I'll see how far I can get. This one has rather too much unexplained jargon; I've listed some specific suggestions below.

  • Thanks very much for picking up these reviews. The original descriptions by Takahashi were essentially pure mycojargon; after "translating" eight of them I guess a few words slipped through. Sasata (talk) 02:42, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I had a quick look at Takahashi's paper and it is far worse; that doesn't mean you can't improve further. :-) I'll pass this and the other two I reviewed. Ucucha 23:20, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead contains too much unexplained jargon. I explained "amyloid", but what are the three kinds of cystidia and what is diverticulate?
  • Wouldn't the Latin for "clear" be clarus? Clari is the form used in compounds, I believe.
  • I dunno, I'm just following the sources :) Feel free to modify as you see fit. Sasata (talk) 02:42, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gloss hygrophanous, tomentum, hymenophoral, dextrinoid, repent (is that even an adjective?), utriform, ladeniform.
