Check for Provide an accessible overview (MOS:INTRO): Done
Major Point 1: Taxonomy "It was previously known under the name Volvariella earlei but molecular studies have placed it in the Volvopluteus, a genus newly described in 2011." (not a concise summary of the Taxonomy section)
Major Point 2: Description "The cap of this mushroom … and has a volva at the base." (not a concise summary of the Description section)
Major Point 3: Habitat, distribution, and ecology "A saprotrophic fungus that grows on grassy fields, V. earlei has been reported from Africa, Europe, and North America." (summarised well in the lead)
Major Point 4: Similar species "Microscopic features … presence or absence and form of cystidia." (summarised well in the lead)
Check for Relative emphasis: Done
Major Point 1: Taxonomy "It was previously known under the name Volvariella earlei but molecular studies have placed it in the Volvopluteus, a genus newly described in 2011." (the lead does not give due weight as is given in the body)
Major Point 2: Description "The cap of this mushroom … and has a volva at the base." (the lead does not give due weight as is given in the body)
Major Point 3: Habitat, distribution, and ecology "A saprotrophic fungus that grows on grassy fields, V. earlei has been reported from Africa, Europe, and North America." (the lead gives due weight as is given in the body)
Major Point 4: Similar species "Microscopic features … presence or absence and form of cystidia." (the lead gives due weight as is given in the body)
As per the above checklist, the issues identified are:
The lead does not provide an accessible overview and does not give relative emphasis.
The lead should be expanded.
The layout needs to be fixed.
