  • I'm not quite sure what the dimensions of the stem that is not a stem represent. Is it a column, 10–15 mmm long, with a diameter of 8–10 mm at the apex and 3–4 mm at the base?
  • What is inamyloid? I have read enough fungi articles to know that it means they don't react with Melzer's reagent, but most people won't. :)
  • Desjardin et al. (2009) mention that it is in Boletineae.
  • Why not mention the province and national park where it was found in the text?

I appreciate the quick review. All comments have been addressed. I plan to email the authors and see if they are willing to release one of their interesting photographs of the fruit body or the spores. Sasata (talk) 20:45, 15 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
Good luck! I thought Boletineae was some infrafamilial rank, not a suborder (I don't know the name endings in botany well—I'm sorry); as a suborder, it's probably actually not very relevant to this article. In any case, I'll pass it as a GA. Ucucha 02:21, 16 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
