  • Comment: Recently created. I think the refs and the content needs a quick double check for verifiability and copyvio. However, I think it should be ok.

• Approving both hooks. Article is long enough and created 2 days before DYK nomination. Article is presentable, sourced, and copyvio-free. Both hooks are interesting and well-sourced. QPQ not needed. Good to go overall. Thank you Classicwiki and Chiffre01. Kimikel (talk) 19:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

onidiophoresconidiophores

Should this be just conidiophores?

The word onidiophoresconidiophores is junk. Polypipe Wrangler (talk) 03:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Reproduction: dry conditions

It says:

"It reproduces through dry, hydrophobic conditions, ..."

Yet apparently we're discussing a fungus that can feed off plastic in the ocean, where obviously it's wet all the time. Maybe in this case the word "through" is meant to indicate that the fungus normally reproduces in damp or wet conditions but will also reproduce under very dry conditions if necessary? I think this little part of the article needs clearer wording. TooManyFingers (talk) 15:26, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
