Pete -- First of all, welcome to editing Wikipedia and joining WikiProject Fungi. Great start on Tephrocybe palustris! I made some changes, but mostly just to conform to Wikipedia convention ( no image galleries, bolding common names, favoring paragraph prose over lists, adding wiki links where appropriate, etc). Over at Wikimedia Commons, I put all the Tephrocybe palustris images into their own category and added an external link to the Wikipedia article. Let me know if you have any questions, I've been editing Wikipedia off and on for a while now. I've seen your posts over at MushroomObserver; it's always great to have crossover between sites like that and Wikipedia. Good job! -- BlueCanoe ( talk) 17:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
The problem is probably the fact that the image has to competete with the taxobox and mycomorphbox. You can place an image on the left (sandwiching the text between the image and the boxes) by using this syntax:
[[File:Imagename.ext|thumb|left|Caption.....]]
That code should be sufficient for most images, but there's all sorts of weird stuff you can do. Alternatively, you could put another image in the taxobox; that's sometimes more appropriate. For an example of an article with that, take a look at Mycena leaiana. J Milburn ( talk) 21:04, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
