information on gill type and hyperlinked to that diagram (or a small inset of relevant gill type would be highly educative). As I am still new to the mushroom pages, I'll think of where to link to it or put it. As a side comment, I sense a strong American POV on many mushroom pages. But not all grow on other continents, and all should be able to benefit from the information. Since I suppose you are north american, I can properly ask you this specific question: does your mushroom book mention anything about that

You are more familiar with the exact direction when you took the photograph, but I believe the peaks are, from left to right, Mount Lincoln, Mount Flume, North Twin (in the distance), Osseo Peak, Whaleback Mountain, and Potash (right foreground).

Do you think it would be favorably received as an FPC in either of those forms? neither? Do you think it should adorn articles as a single image or as parts? Thanks for any thoughts. -

I would either wait a week, or if you're really excited about it maybe just put a new nomination up.

Would it be possible to create a new category for the mycobox reflecting the edibility status of such mushrooms to something such as "psychoactive" or a similar term reflecting this?

Only thing is, looking at 'em all together is the similarity in colour between choice, edible and inedible. Question is, what colours?

You've done it again ! This draft shows in a simple and informative way how how the radula works inside the buccal cavity. As to the placement of the muscles, there are small differences between the genera. So, I wouldn't worry too much about that. But I have two suggestions (if you could still alter

I'm absolutely delighted you'll be doing some illustrations, Debivort! I've reviewed your images, and they look really good.

Thanks for taking the time to look at and comment on this image in preparation. I was hoping to gather your opinion (well informed as it is about FPCs) regarding the potential of this image.

Hi Debivort, the images will have to be replaced by commons images. I do not seek any goodness in reverting the changes.

I see the chart is finished. I'm impressed, it looks very nice and it's exactly what we need. It can still be a bit improved though.

Hi Debivort Nice leaf morphology chart, and very informative. That made me think of something similar. A mushroom gill morphology chart would be very very welcome and you have the skill to make one. The type of gills is critical to determining mushroom species and words simply won't do to explain.

2447:

I'd be happy to create a new category for the edibility of psilocybin mushroom species. I think that it would be simplest to call the category "psychoactive", since this term is (I believe) neutral yet inclusive of the full range of psychological effects. As for the accompanying image, I haven't

I can see that the new ones are needed if there is more than one item in each criterion (mainly cap shape), and the other format can't support that. There is quite a bot of white space in the box, but making it narrower means it doesn't align nicely with the taxobox. Maybe on the left of the page

I've been very busy lately. And then I have been pondering your question. I've colored the teeth on the chart in different colors, so as to distinguish them. But I don't want to put this (clumsy) attempt as an image in Knowledge (XXG). Therefore, if you could send me an email (see toolbox : email

I know what we're aiming for on FPC discussions is consensus, but if we were to adopt a strict interpretation of consensus, we'd rarely promote any image. In fact, references to "consensus" on the FP tag were removed a month or two ago, replaced with something like "members of the community." It

2994:, sorry I've already done it (check on the image review page) but I am happy to let you do the others. I very much like your Diplodocus size comparison graph. Very neat. Will you be able to do something similar for other dinosaur genera ? Your Eoraptor in motion is cute too. Great work. 1583:

Since I haven't taken a math class in almost 20 years, to create the blurb all I did was copy-paste the caption that was in the FPC nomination. Would you mind taking a look (at the date linked above) and copyediting it so that it might be understandable for non-mathematicians? Thanks.

Thanks for thinking of me! I don't see any major problems that might prevent it from becoming an FP, though I think an SVG version would be preferable. The second, 'poster', form is my preference. This really does look like a great diagram; visually attractive and very informative.
