Meaning of "too hard to eat"
editWhat do you mean by "too hard to eat" in {{Mycomorphbox}}?
- Too difficult to prepare?
- Too rigid to chew?

Obsolete genus name Hugueninia (fungus)
editShould Hugueninia (fungus) (which is marked as "later homonym (do not use)") be changed to a redirect to Cyclotheca? Лисан аль-Гаиб (talk) 05:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes it should; I've done so and updated Cyclotheca accordingly. Esculenta (talk) 14:12, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
Assistance needed
editUser:SageOst2024 is trying to get Draft:Complex Xylaria Hypoxilon through AfC. This article is about a species complex including Xylaria hypoxylon. I have proposed incorporating information about the species complex into Xylaria hypoxylon, but I don't know enough about fungi to know whether the species complex should have a separate article. Can anyone help out? Un assiolo (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- You are correct, the species complex information should be incorporated into the main Xylaria hypoxylon article. As individual species in the complex get described, separate articles will eventually be made for them. For an example, see the taxonomy section of Parmelia saxatilis. Esculenta (talk) 15:31, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. There seems very little information to justify an article on the complex. It's not clear what species should be included, only that polymorpha and longipes are excluded. I might be misreading the situation, but it seems most of the specimens in the complex are actually described as Xylaria hypoxylon and that it needs further study to define the species more clearly, i.e. X. hypoxylon as currently understood is probably a species complex including yet to be described species. The iNaturalist forum discussion suggests the work was preliminary in 2022, but I don't see a reference for a "resolution in 2024". Something on the complex in the taxonomy section of X. hypoxylon seems the appropriate approach. — Jts1882 | talk 16:15, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Un assiolo: To clarify, a species complex is a separate rank from a species, and could have it's own article (and many do already, see Category:Species groups). However this draft is not really distinguishing between Xylaria hypoxylon the species and the Xylaria hypoxylon species complex, nor is it especially long. I agree with Esculenta that it should be 'merged'. awkwafaba (📥) 16:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
There seems to be some controversy going on over at Talk:Stachybotrys chartarum. I'm really not familiar with this topic; however, the article is quite popular and seems to need some work. It seems like this page may be particularly valuable to WP:FRINGE. I just wanted to put this on people's radar, as I know these controversial topics can cause some issues with Wikipedia pages.

This is a high importance article in the project, so I thought I would notify the project that I have removed a reasonably important paragraph. See Talk:Saprotrophic_nutrition#Nitrogen_and_cofactors for my full reasoning.
I would appreciate it if there is anyone with reasonably basic saprotroph knowledge to rewrite the paragraph.
Thanks :) AllPurposeScientistblah 17:39, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
