Hi, I'll review this one as my second fungus article ever. FunkMonk (talk) 16:40, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"new Morchella species introduced in 2012" wouldn't scientifically "described" or "named" make more sense?

Sure, done. Sasata (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The intro should mention that it had been known for a long time, just as a population of a different species.

Good idea, done. Sasata (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't Morchella semilibera be mentioned under similar species?

It is now! Sasata (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"but it is suspected of being both saprobic and mycorrhizal " Could be explained in parenthesis.

There's not a lot more to say about this that's specific to this species. I hope to soon work on the genus article, and go more in depth about the uncertainties in the nature of the morel life cycle. Sasata (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking more about the meaning of the terms, not necessarily elaboration. FunkMonk (talk) 19:02, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, now defined parenthetically. Sasata (talk) 20:08, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is there no common name?

Other than the "half-free morel" (which also applies to two other morels), this species hasn't been known for long enough to acquire a common name. Sasata (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe worth a mention? FunkMonk (talk) 19:02, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now mentioned in taxonomy (as well as the lead). Sasata (talk) 20:08, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is quite a mouthful possible to split it up? "The cap surface has pits and ridges, with 12–20 primary vertical ridges and infrequent shorter, secondary vertical ridges and transecting horizontal ridges, attached in a skirt-like manner to the stipe, roughly halfway from the top, with a sinus 1–2.5 cm (0.4–1.0 in) deep."

Done. Sasata (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks kindly for the review, FunkMonk. Let me know if theres any more changes you think would be beneficial. Sasata (talk) 18:21, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice fixes, passed then! FunkMonk (talk) 20:12, 22 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
