Review (the newfangled structure seems not to be present here): Date, size, hook fact ok. No copyvio found after a few Google spot checks, no structural, editorial or neutrality/stability problems. Would recommend the non-blurred
File:2010-12-04 Entoloma bloxamii 2 60253.jpg from the article instead, and the image lacks a caption. Frankly not a very gripping hook, but I suppose most mushrooms are rather boring and this one seems to be no exception. Good sourcing, except for: the first reference link,
[1], is broken or currently dead and should be checked again. Sandstein 16:14, 31 July 2011 (UTC)reply
Maybe crop this image to square size? But "what is it?" could be a good thing for this thumbnail, IMO. It certainly drew my eye and made me curious. Sharktopustalk14:41, 3 August 2011 (UTC)reply
I know this photo isn't particularly good technically but blue is such an unusual colour in a mushroom...and its so blue! I think it is more intriguing than a technically better but less interestingly coloured specimen.

Not so much the technical quality of the pic, but the fact that it's hard to decipher what it is in such a small thumbnail, because of its unexpected colour and the fact that it's lying side-on. I do wish it could be 120px. This main-page insistence on 100px is becoming a real problem, and is so unnecessary. Up to you ...

I uploaded a square version. Not sure why the color looks a little less blue, all I did was crop it. Maybe somebody with better skills could do better than I did. Sharktopustalk00:19, 6 August 2011 (UTC)reply
Oops, forgot about this one. I can find another. rejigged refs and removed deadlink. There are some alternative images. I just liked this one as it is blue.
