• Article is new enough, long enough and neutral. There are no obvious signs of plagiarism or close paraphrasing. Image is out of copyright; QPQ carried out. I like the slow-burner hook – it isn't initially striking, but seems suprising when you start to think about it; I'd certainly be surprised to find an Amanita in upland dwarf shrub heath. Good to go. --Stemonitis (talk) 08:08, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
