Hey, nice to see mushrooms popping up at GAC again.
- "similar-appearing species" Very odd phrase
- Shouldn't Wilhelm Gerhard Solheim be redirected to Wilhelm Solheim (botanist)?
- No available taxonomic information?
- "adnate, adnexed, or shallowly decurrent" Those links go to a variety of different places; one of them doesn't even mention fungi.
- You mention the flesh twice in the description section
- "non-diverticulate" Jargon
- "ixocutis" is not mentioned in cap cuticle
- "similar Mycenas" Can Mycena be used as a common name like that? How about "similar Mycena species" or something?
- "than M. overholtsii" than those of?
- "It has been reported in four US states, including South Dakota,[17] California, Washington and Wyoming" To me, "including" implies you aren't going to list them all
- "but is not known in Oregon" Why is this significant?
- The habitat and distribution section initially seems to imply that it is only found in North America
- Washington is a dablink
- Some inconsistency as to whether publishing locations are given for books
- Is MykoWeb reliable?
- I assume ref 8, like ref 13, is a report? Mention?
- Formatting on ref 18 is a little odd
- Any publishers with articles could do with links. Couldn't hurt.
- Little thing, but twice you jump from talking about the mushrooms of the species, to as if the mushrooms ARE the species. "mushrooms produced by the fungus ... The mushroom is characterized" and "some of the largest mushrooms of the genus Mycena.[8] The cap is" - see what I mean? Could do with some smoothing.
- I see what you mean, and have tweaked the text a little bit, but I think the first example is ok. I alert the reader that the fungus produces a mushroom, and that the mushroom has a certain characteristic. Feel free to massage the text if you can make it less clunky.

Images and stability check out. I made some small changes. On the subject of the apparent copying, have you considered contacting the publishers of the journal? I'd imagine you're more familiar with this kind of thing than me (I'm just a lowly unpublished undergrad) but it looks like it would be well within your rights to request attribution.
