5x expanded by Casliber (talk). Self-nominated at 13:54, 19 March 2019 (UTC).

This article was 5x expanded starting on 19 March and scrapes by on the length criterion. I am assuming good faith on the Singer, Smith, and Petersen references, which I cannot access (refs 1, 2, and 4). The measurements given in paragraph 3 don't quite match the source (for example - "with a cap that is 4-12 cm", but source says 6-12). The name "Indian Creek mushroom" isn't mentioned at the cited source, but is mentioned in the last source. Image on Commons is from here, which is copyrighted but has a CC-BY-SA-3.0 licence, and is suitable at the scale needed for DYK. Hook is OK, and claim appears in cited source. QPQ is in progress.
Only a few minor tweaks are needed for DYK approval. Mind matrix 22:15, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I put the name reference in the wrong place. fixed now. Also went to measurements for the newer ref. The older ref had the other measurements.Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:46, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
