• Support Nice representation of this fine looking species, with good EV. SMasters (talk) 06:22, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
• Support Great photo and interesting organism. Suggest playing with caption. Think you can cut "region of North America" (no other continents have a PNW and you have it hyperlinked.) Second sentence is good to be instructing on the veil, but leaves me wondering what the fruit body is. Not sure how to fix, but if you can make a little more self supporting and clear would be upgrade.)TCO (talk) 18:03, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
