[edit] Dictyophora indusiata

Hi, thanks for the help at Dictyophora indusiata...should I move this to the current Latin name? I read recently that there are two different new Latin names for this mushroom: one with external net and one without. Strangely enough, I just found some (dried) in a Chinese grocery store yesterday and made some soup out of them. They have a very strange and somewhat unpleasant smell but Chinese people seem to like it. Badagnani 20:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi! You obviously have some great Phallales where you live! Apparently P. (or D.) indusiatus(a) exists in Europe too, but I have never seen one. The problem of conflicting fungi names is very difficult for Wikipedia; I don't know whether it would be good to copy the page to Phallus indusiatus and make the Dictyophora page a redirect, when Dictyophora is probably a better-known name. I wrote something about this issue at the talk page for category Fungi in Commons, but nobody has commented.
Without its net I believe it is very close to Phallus impudicus/hadriani; perhaps that is why it is classified as Phallus. "indusiatus" definitely means that it has an indusium (= hanging net). The taste probably distinguishes it - P. impudicus eggs are supposed to be edible and I have talked to people who have tried (but failed) to eat them, the problem being that they are too hard (not that they are too revolting).

[edit] Shiitake

Thanks for expert assistance, as always! Dozens, if not hundreds of websites (including Webster's dictionary) [1] list shiitake as Agaricaceae, though...I wonder how that confusion happened. Or was there a recategorization? Anyway, whatever the authority is it should be also changed on Shiitake, where I've just added a taxobox. Badagnani 18:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Fungi on commons

Hi,

It is general practice not to include an article or image in two category when one of them is a subcategory of the other. The category Fungi on commons it to large to be practical. If images can be included in more than one category in the same hierarchy, it is no longer clear where to look for an image on a particular species: an image can be in 1 or more of several places, so when looking for an image to illustrate a wikipedia article I have to look both at the Fungi category, as on the subcategory of the family. It's very inconvenient. Eugene van der Pijll 17:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pleurotus eryngii

Hello, I've made a page for Pleurotus eryngii and wonder if you could take a look to check it? Thanks, Badagnani 23:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Torula

Hi, I've made an article for Torula; not sure why it didn't exist before. From my research, it's the processed food ingredient called "torula yeast." As usual with fungi, there's some confusion over the species name, which has changed over time, and also whether it's a yeast or a fungus. Your expert assistance would be great. Badagnani 00:07, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I am also confused over the name; all the possibilities are in Index Fungorum but none is preferred, and the taxonomy below Ascomycota is also uncertain. But ITIS gives Candida, agreeing with you. It certainly seems to be a yeast (and a fungus). I added Torula utilis as a synonym, since this is the origin of the English term.

[edit] Monascus purpureus

Hi, I've just made an article about a mold, Monascus purpureus; could you check it? Badagnani 21:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

It looks good to me. I don't know much about molds. Strobilomyces 20:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
I thought Index Fungorum was the "be all and end all" of fungi. Is it incorrect about the classification of Monascus? Badagnani 19:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
As you put in the original article, IF says that Monascus belongs to its own family, Monascaceae (described in 1894), but says that it is uncertain which order that family belongs to. The NCBI classification is complete and uses names which are actually in Wikipedia. But I see now that Monascaceae is in Wikispecies and seems well-established, also in ITIS (web site not working at present). So probably it should be Monascaceae, not Elaphomycetaceae, and the Order should be Eurotiales. The fact that there are many different systems makes things very difficult.Strobilomyces 20:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lingzhi

Hi, can you check the taxobox at Lingzhi? I've just added it but am not sure everything is right. Thanks, Badagnani 04:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Improvement Drive: Fungus

I just came across this today:

If you have anything you can contribute to the general "Fungus" article, please do. All the best. Peter G Werner 02:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hericium erinaceus

Hi, can you help with the new mushroom page I've made: Hericium erinaceus? Thanks, Badagnani 19:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catégories sur Commons

Bonjour, concernant cette histoire de catégories, j'avoue que je ne me suis pas basé sur des règles approuvées, et que effectivement après réflexion, la recherche d'images par simple taxonomie n'est pas chose aisée. D'un autre côté, je n'ai rien vu qui déconseille ce mode de catégorisation non plus.

Cependant les placer dans cette catégorie me semble relever de la double catégorisation. De plus, à mon avis, la catégorie Fungi ne doit pas devenir un bazar à liens non plus (il y a d'ailleurs déjà du ménage à faire avec toutes les photos) ; je ne sais pas combien il y a de pages sur les champignons en tout, mais cela deviendra vite illisible au fur et à mesure des ajouts. Il faudrait peut-être trouver une autre catégorie dédiée au classement par espèces, encore que ça va aussi devenir le carnaphaüm rapidement, mais faute de mieux... La recherche par genre (relativement fixe) ne pourrait-elle pas suffir ?

Enfin, si tu préfères que je (re)mette les pages dans la catégorie Fungi, je peux m'en ocupper. Mais vu que le problème est général à tous les médias concernant la biologie, il faudrait peut-être demander l'avis à l'ensemble de la communauté sur cette affaire. Je n'ai pas trouvé de discussions à ce propos, mais je ne doute pas qu'il y en ait déjà eu (elles doivent être enfouies au plus profond de WP :).

À suivre ? Pmx 15:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] items for discussion on wikiproject fungi talk page

Hi, I have put 2 subjects for discussion on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fungi talk page concerning common names and species lists for discussion in order to get some consensus and then they can go on the guidelines on the project page. cheers Cas Liber 11:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Fungus Collaboration as of Jan 2007

DYK there are no fungal Featured Articles on wikipedia at all? I've modelled this on the dinosaur collaboration which has yielded a few FAs. Please have a look and cast your vote and we'll try a concerted attempt at an FA. Link here......Fungi Collaboration

(hope I got all the templates right...) cheers Cas Liber 03:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sporocarp and related articles

About 6 months ago, we discussed creating the article ascocarp. Related to this, there's been a bunch of low-level and scattered discussion as to what to do with the articles fruiting body, sporocarp, basidiocarp, and ascocarp. I have a comprehensive plan for these articles at Talk:Sporocarp. Have a look at this proposal and weigh in on it if you have an opinion. Peter G Werner 17:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] For you

I did this specially for you, I hope you like it!

Jplm 10:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

Oui, c'est très bien. Ben, quand je l'ai choisi je pensais que 'Strobilomyces' était un nom obscur, mais avec Wikipédia ça n'existe plus. Maintenant je peux améliorer la version anglaise. Strobilomyces 19:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mastigomycotines

Someone just created an article Mastigomycotines with the text "Does anyone know what another name for this might be??". I quickly found out that this should redirect to Mastigomycotina, but that doesn't exist either. And neither do the three classes mentioned at Mastigomycotina at answers.com, otherwise I would have put together a quick stub. And the classification given at fungi at answers.com looks quite different from ours at Fungus, so I have absolutely no idea where to place that. Since you seem to know something about fungi, could you patch this hole in the encyclopedia, please? Lupo 22:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Sorry I have not answered before, I have not had much time for Wikipedia lately. The 3 classes within Mastigomycotina (Chytridiomycetes, Hyphochitridiomycetes, and Oomycetes) did actually have pages in Wikipedia under various names. The main problem is that Chytridiomycetes are still considered Fungi, but the other two are now considered Protists, in a completely different kingdom. And they are sometimes classes and sometimes elevated to being phyla themselves. So the group Mastigomycotina is obsolete and it is difficult to fit any explanation of it into Wikipedia - but I think it is still important to mention it, as people using older references still need an explanation. This page gives a good account of older and newer systems. It is completely normal in mycology (and I suppose in the study of protists) that there are lots of systems of classification, which use lots of different names for the same thing.

Thanks for the explanation. I've put together a very brief stub. Lupo 12:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
