Talk:Pseudothielavia terricola

Hello, here are some of my suggestions:

-Describe the physical and chemical properties of the soil in which this fungus is found.

-Include external link for “holotype” to define for readers who might not be familiar with this type of terminology.

-Define if the characteristics of Thielavia also belong to the new genus in which the fungus has most recently been placed into: Pseudothielavia.

-Add images to supplement the textual description of this fungus in order to help the readers get a better idea of what this fungus looks like.

-Include link to wiki article for Chaetomidium and ostiole.

-States that Thielavia and Pseduothielavia differ with several observable differences but only one characteristic is stated also it might be helpful to include an image that shows the differences between the two groups.

-Include external link for “textura epidermoidea”

-Instead of having the definition of “mesophilic” in brackets beside it just include a link to the appropriate wiki article.

-States that there is no asexual forms but doesn’t state any ways in which these fungi reproduce.

-Describe what the physiological consequences are of the prostaglandin inhibitors.

-States that grows in soil both in history & taxonomy and habitat, just state it in one of the subheadings or it will be redundant.

-Include link for Arachis hypogaea.

-Elaborate on how its widely present throughout the world.

-Make sure to have a main paragraph at the beginning that summarizes most of the aspects of the wiki article.

-Make sure that is each subheading is equally represented and that not one single topic is over or under saturated with information.

-Include more references to help supplement your information.

Hi :)

A passive voice was used, so the tone of your work is great!

Your article is well-organized, and I see that you were able to find additional information using one of the synonyms, nicely done! And you did provide a detailed history regarding the naming of the species! You also talked about the genus Thielavia, which is great. But I think that it would be better that you emphasize the information regarding this particular species. And also maybe you want to double-check your coding, there are two parts that look kind of messy (where you talked about the characteristics of the genus Thielavia, and where you talked about the genus Pseudothielavia).

The references you used do check out and the links are working. However, one problem is that there's just not much reference, I think it would be better for you to find more information regarding the species.

For the content of the article, I've found some additional information that may be helpful for you to write your article:

• Is is a cosmopolitan species
• It can be found on soil, seeds, dung, and decaying plant material
• Most of this species are in the warmer regions of the world
• Been documented from various parts of Africa, Kuwait, Pakistan, Nepal, India, Central America, Turkey, and Italy
• There are also reports from the Netherlands, the British Isles, and the USA
• The best temperature for the species to grow is 37-celsius degree, the species cannot survive in environments that the temperatures are below 15-celsius degree or above 46-celsius degree.
• The species can obtain a good growth between pH3.9 and pH6.0, it cannot survive at/below pH2.9 or above pH7.9
• It can decompose chitin and cellulose
• Can utilize poly-/tri-/di-/monosaccharides
• Can utilize alcohols

(All this information can be found in the book 'Compendium of soil fungi' which can be found in the Gerstein library.)

Overall, it's a pretty decent article, well done! Just try to add more information/references. Good luck! Nnnnnger (talk) 19:19, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
