  • Perhaps explain "Malesia" in the lead, since it is an unfamiliar term that may be mistaken for a misspelling of Malaysia.
  • Why not mention the authority for calopus in the body?
  • Do we know what the specific name refers to?
  • "The cap frequently splits radially part way to the center."—there is probably a clearer way to say this.
  • If its edibility is "doubtful", shouldn't the lead say that instead of calling it "inedible"?
  • "and have apices that are covered with contorted projections that can be slender or obese"—perhaps use "tips" instead of "apices", and "thick" instead of "obese".
  • What are a hypoderm and a tramal body?
  • "West Coast" is presumably the North American West Coast, but you link to West Coast, a dab page.
  • Perhaps give the family or some other ID for Lithocarpus havilandii, so that there is a little more than just a red link.

  • "The fungus has been investigated for its ability to decolorize synthetic dyes that are used in the textile, plastics, biomedical and foodstuff industries. The dyes are not readily biodegradable, and when discharged into the environment are persistent and many are toxic."—doesn't this fit better in "Chemistry"?
  • In the distribution, I don't see how an area already bounded by Nova Scotia and North Carolina should be additionally bounded by New York, but if the source says this, I suppose it's fine. Also, shouldn't there be some distribution in Malesia and Turkey?
