Looks relatively uncontroversial; happy to take a close look. J Milburn (talk) 14:15, 22 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • "The asci have an apical apparatus that stains blue in Melzer's reagent; it is funnel or T-shaped, somewhat like a golf tee, and measures about 4 by 4 µm." This is a curious sentence. I assume the description after the semi-colon is of the "apical apparatus", rather than the asci? If so, have you any details of the characteristics of the asci themselves?
  • "The "Siamese jelly ball" fungus, Gelatinomyces siamensis, produces fruit bodies that are superficially similar to those of E. sinensis." Why the scare-quotes?
  • "This species of bamboo is known as either Fargesia melanostachys or F. yulongshanensis, depending on the authority." How about something like "Specifically, E. sinensis has been recorded from a species of bamboo variously known as Fargesia melanostachys or F. yulongshanensis, depending on the authority."
  • I feel you should probably mention that Engleromyces was formerly monotypic, and that there are now only two species in the genus.

I've made some copyedits, please do check them. Sources are appropriate, spotchecks fine. Shame there're no pictures, but that's hardly surprising! J Milburn (talk) 14:45, 22 June 2014 (UTC)Reply
