Looks relatively uncontroversial; happy to take a close look. J Milburn (talk) 14:15, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

"The asci have an apical apparatus that stains blue in Melzer's reagent; it is funnel or T-shaped, somewhat like a golf tee, and measures about 4 by 4 µm." This is a curious sentence. I assume the description after the semi-colon is of the "apical apparatus", rather than the asci? If so, have you any details of the characteristics of the asci themselves?
I've reorganized the sentence for clarity and glossed "apical apparatus". Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
"The "Siamese jelly ball" fungus, Gelatinomyces siamensis, produces fruit bodies that are superficially similar to those of E. sinensis." Why the scare-quotes?

"This species of bamboo is known as either Fargesia melanostachys or F. yulongshanensis, depending on the authority." How about something like "Specifically, E. sinensis has been recorded from a species of bamboo variously known as Fargesia melanostachys or F. yulongshanensis, depending on the authority."
Sure, done. Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
I feel you should probably mention that Engleromyces was formerly monotypic, and that there are now only two species in the genus.
Good idea, done. Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
I've made some copyedits, please do check them. Sources are appropriate, spotchecks fine. Shame there're no pictures, but that's hardly surprising! J Milburn (talk) 14:45, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I've just fired off an email to the main author for a photo request, so fingers are crossed! Thanks for the review. Sasata (talk) 18:49, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
Touch wood- in the mean time, I'm happy to promote this article. J Milburn (talk) 19:30, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
