"gills are distant to subdistant"—would prefer non-mycologese here
These terms for gill spacing are unfortunately not standardized, so I changed it to a more vague "distantly spaced", and gave the # of gills.

DNA amplification from a 90-million-year-old fossil? They must have been optimists...
I guess they figured since they busted a piece of it, they might as well.

Dab
Peabody Museum; you may well have meant the real one, at Harvard, but Yale has tried to usurp the name.
"Thus it is possible that Archaeomarasmius should be placed as incertae sedis in the order
Agaricales."—the unexplained "incertae sedis" makes the sentence opaque, and I'm not sure you need it at all, since the preceding sentences already make the point that its relationships are uncertain.
Reworded to "...the authors suggests a more conservative
classification of incertae sedis (uncertain placement) in the Tricholomataceae, Agaricales, or
Homobasidiomycetes may be more appropriate."

Not sure that is much clearer. I have tried a different wording; see what you (both) think.

Ok with me.

The information about geologic provenance (age, New Jersey amber) is only in the lead, not in the body; per
WP:LEAD, this information should also be somewhere in the body.

age added the history and classification section. --

Thanks for the rapid responses; I am passing the article as a GA now.
Ucucha 00:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)reply
And thanks for reviewing Ucucha. There will be more fossil fungus GANs coming in the near future, thanks to Kevmin's efforts.
