Claiming this one now. Review to follow later today. J Milburn (talk) 10:40, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

The lead could probably benefit from an expansion; also, you don't distinguish the species from the mushroom all that well.
Done and done. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"In his 1996 book "Psilocybin mushrooms of the world", Paul Stamets noted "that the two authors work closely with, are consulted by, and paid by law-enforcement officials to help in the prosecution of unlucky collectors."[3]" I'm not sure that the use of this quote is all that neutral. It creates an impression of The Man against the innocent collectors. Also, books should be in the form of The Book Title, not "The book title".
LOL at "The Man". I see what you mean, but I couldn't resist adding this interesting factoid from a reliable source written by a Psilocybe authority. Is it perhaps the use of "unlucky" in the quote that gives the non-neutral impression? Do you think it'd be alright if I kept the fact, but rewrote more neutrally in my own words?
Absolutely- it's a very interesting point, and one I've wondered about before. J Milburn (talk) 08:36, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Reworded–ok now? Sasata (talk) 06:21, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
type locality is a dablink.
Fixed. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"Guzman's" Guzman has not been introduced. Also, is it not Guzmán?
Linked and fixed. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"The veil of young fruit bodies is cortinate—resembling the cobweb-like partial veil found in Cortinarius species)" Unopened brackets?
Fixed. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"has an apical pore." A little jargony
Switched to equivalent term "germ pore" and linked. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"they are clamped," Again
Linked. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"They are hyaline (translucent), thin-walled, clamped, with necks that are 3–5 μm long." and clamped?
Yes, changed. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"but narrower (4–8 μm) wide" narrower wide?
Parentheses in wrong place, fixed. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
"hypodermium" Link/explanation?
Done. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
You could perhaps bump the similar species section by moving the discussion of how the species is distinguished from its close relatives there. You could list the 6 species recognised by Guzmán, as they are referred to by Johnston and Buchanan.
Mentioned all of the Psilocybe species known to occur in New Zealand, along with at least 1 example of how they can be distinguished from P. makarorae. Sasata (talk) 06:21, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Could we have this added to Template:Psilocybe mushrooms, and the template added to the bottom of the page?
Done. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
The article is a little awkward to look at because of all the material bunched around the description section. If you're perhaps willing to do away with the mycomorphbox, this looks much neater, to my eyes. This is just a thought; if you can see some other way to rejig everything, feel free to go with that.
I'm fine with removing the mmbox. I wish I could fix the text squeeze by adding more text, but an exhaustive search failed to turn up anything beyond the sources I've already used. Sasata (talk) 05:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Hope this is helpful. Images check out, sources are good. J Milburn (talk) 14:22, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about this, but I'm going to have limited internet access for the next few days (until Wednesday at the latest). I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. J Milburn (talk) 08:36, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
Ok, I'm happy that this is ready for GA status. Great work, as ever. J Milburn (talk) 16:31, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
