I'm the photographer of the original image, so I'm obviously biased as to which suits the article and the caption better, so I thought I should point it out here, and let others decide if they feel this is a change for the better or not. Here are the two images:
Some things that I'll point out as features of the images. The caption calls out the pinheads (small mushrooms that are just forming). Look at them closely in both images. Also, look at the amount of disfigurement and damage to any part of the mushrooms. Further, notice how complete a view of any one mushroom you get in both. - Harmil 20:10, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

On an initial reading of this article, I see a good, well-written species account which is mostly hard to fault. There a couple of minor things I noticed and others may occur to me later as I study the article further:
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
In the section “Chemistry,” cinnamic acid is called a phenolic compound. It does not belong to that class. It is true that the reference cited is entitled “Phenolic acids determination by…” but cinnamic acid seems simply to be a compound incidentally caught up by their method. Indeed, their abstract specifically says, “A related non-phenolic compound, cinnamic acid, was also detected in some samples…” Since the word “compound” is not necessary, I urge that the sentence be changed to “A 2009 study found L. perlatum puffballs to contain cinnamic acid at a concentration of about 14 milligrams per kilogram of mushroom.[57]” Walter Turner 91.54.101.217 ( talk) 11:26, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
How is it that the text says "The species was first described in the scientific literature in 1796 by mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon" but the very next sentence says a synonym was "described by August Batsch in 1783"? Jariola ( talk) 09:54, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
