Aecidium mori[edit]
- ... that the Aecidium mori causes the Mulberry rust disease on the Mulberry (pictured) flowering plant, which decreases the quantity of leaves on the trees?

New enough, long enough (3758), well-written, properly linked, properly cited. Pity the photograph doesn't show the fungus on the Mulberry, but the (pictured) reference is correctly limited. -- Ultracobalt (talk) 08:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
I think the article needs a good copyedit, some of the prose is confusing or inaccurate, e.g.
- "It is often only found in the countries of Asia." often only?
- "located on the flowering plant of Morus, which only reaches 10–15 metres (33–49 feet) in height." Why only? Is this not high enough for a flowering plant to grow?
- "In 1890, Barclay had identified this species of fungi to be a duplicate of Caeoma mori and changed the name of it." huh?
- "The name was changed back to the original a short time later, after Aecidium mori was more commonly used." confuzzling
- most of the "Description" section is actually taxonomy
- why are retrieval dates given for all the references? These are not available online as far as I'm aware.
- the external link leads to paywall. Would be better to just use the distribution data in the article. Sasata (talk) 07:28, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
