message: The original account of Drummond appeared in Hooker's Journal of Botany - April 1842. Would be good to find...Casliber (talk · contribs) 23:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: *Here's another account by Drummond, from 1843. Sasata (talk) 07:37, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *An interesting quote from here (p. 90): "The effect produced by it upon the traveller, when on a dark night he comes suddenly upon it glowing in the woods, is startling; for to a person unacquainted with this phenomenon the pale, livid, and deadly light emanating from it conveys to him an impression of something supernatural, and often causes no little degree of terror in weak minds or in those willing to believe in supernatural agencies".

replies: text: *A description of "Pleurotus phosphorus" by Berkeley here. Sasata (talk) 07:49, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *Is this entertaining quote worthwhile including? "It is perhaps of no great economic importance. Nevertheless, it would be advisable to destroy it by burning wherever found." Sasata (talk) 08:24, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *Yes - especially as the author is none other than JB Cleland, who was one of Australia's foremost early mycologists. I like Drummond comparing it with a will'o'wisp too. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:59, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

message: What does this sentence mean?
It can be detected at night a faint whitish eerie glow can be seen at the base of trees in sclerophyll forests.
I have removed it for now because I don't understand what it's trying to convey, and the parts I do understand might be incorrect (I have only seen the glow described as green, not white). -kotra (talk) 19:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I meant omphalotus species, all of which are thought to be poisonous (not sure if all have been proven to be though. Need to re-read and figure out what to put down). Will get onto this tomorrow when less sleep-deprived. Need to attend to a couple of things tonight.... Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. See what other text can be added...I dumped all the images I've taken onto commons now. Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

text: Something's gone missing here, not sure what. God that is a dry article! Need to flesh out this and find the secondary sources... got it out of good ol' Benjamin book... Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:18, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

text: I'd say that it is, though material should be used with care. It has some critters which eat the mushroom and some aboriginal folklore, and the author of the website is clearly part of a research centre. I am wary of too detailed discussion on new species until that has been in a peer-reviewed journal though. (Funny, I've seen some really dark specimens in Sydney and uploaded a photo). The Miller paper talks about variation so I am really waiting for that one to come through and see what it says.  Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:46, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

text: I think it is ok, especially as the mushed up fruit bodies are being tested... Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

text: I think I can get that. The other came as well.  Casliber (talk · contribs) 09:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

text: Fascinating paper that by Miller - and will help fill out this article nicely. I'll have to eyeball Muelleria myself on thursday when I am next to the library. Got Willis paper now too - some interesting taxonomic stuff to add. Miller talks about a darker form -- I have a photo of it here which I took a few years ago. Be good to get this one in the article too. Casliber (talk · contribs)
*Should we name-drop William Henry Harvey as the one who said the bioluminescence was strong enough to read a watch face by (per here)? Sasata (talk) 16:47, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
