Hydnum repandum[edit]
This article is about the wood hedgehog, a cute mushroom. It was heavily improved by Sasata who has sadly retired. I reckon it was nearly FA-worthy then and have updated it with latest information and done all that I think is outstanding. I feel it is the equal of other fungus FAs - if anything arises I will fix it pronto. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:57, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Image review - Market caption could use editing, licensing is fine. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support, looks pretty comprehensive, although white fruit bodied probably needs at least one hyphen Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Sources review: All sources in good order and of appropriate quality and reliability. Brianboulton (talk) 17:32, 19 January 2018 (UTC) )
From FunkMonk[edit]
- Pretty much all I know about mushrooms I know from reviewing articles here, so it will always be form a layman's point of view. Here goes. FunkMonk (talk) 07:26, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- You seem to be inconsistent in how you present the various writers mentioned throughout. Some get nationality and occupation, some only get occupation, and some get neither.
- I'm confused by the various mushrooms mentioned that are either presented as forms of this species, synonyms of it, or species separate from it. This goes for for example Hydnum rufescens and Hydnum albidum, whihc also have seperate articles. On Commons, these are also categorised under Hydnum repandum[2], which seems puzzling as well. So what does it all mean?
- Is the very wide distribution natural?
- You are inconsistent in whether you abbreviate the scientific name or not.
- Why do you start off by calling it hedgehog mushroom in the beginning of the edibility section? Seems strange when you return to the scientific name right after and throughout.
- Support - very nicely glossed, which has been an issue with some earlier nominations. FunkMonk (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
Lingzhi[edit]
What's your rule for including books in the "Cited literature" section and give them shortened format cites? I see several books cited more than once, e.g. Arora cited 7 times. Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 15:08, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

- maybe I am tired...but I am missing the books with missing locations..? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:42, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Mmm, Schaeffer 1774 had the location listed as the publisher (I changed that so now it is missing a publisher; did you fix one?
- added and yes Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 16:26, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Comments from JM[edit]
- "Molecular studies showed that the current species concept for H. repandum needed revision as there was a poor overlap between morphological and molecular species concepts." Curious tense
- well, they are all past tense as the species has been revised and so now there is no poor overlap as the morphological species concept has been updated...? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:42, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
- Ok- perhaps I misread. When I saw "current", I thought you meant as it exists now. Perhaps it could be framed as "In 2010 [or whatever], molecular studies showed that the accepted species concept..." or something? Josh Milburn (talk) 19:52, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

- "Although it is missing from Central America, genetic material has been recovered from Venezuela from the tree Pakaraimaea dipterocarpacea, suggesting it had jumped hosts." I am struggling with this.
- it's ectomycorrhizal. researchers found evidence that it had adapted to a new host in a new location, which is weird.... 19:42, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
- I leave it to you, but I wonder whether a little further explanation would be helpful here! Josh Milburn (talk) 19:52, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

- "The variety alba is known as "white wood".[20]" Presumably you mean album, here?
- "with a cap measuring 2–7 cm (0.8–2.8 in) wide and a stipe that is 1–3 in (2.5–7.6 cm) long" Imperial (metric)?
- Is repandiol worth a (red)link?
That's all that jumps out from the article body. I made a few edits; please double-check! Josh Milburn (talk) 19:25, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
Support. On the shorter side, perhaps, but I think this is where this needs to be. A worthy topic, and some great work has gone into this. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:16, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Support I think that all of the previous reviewers have done all the hard work and I didn't see anything that needed to changed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:05, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
