• Comment: Firstly, this looks far better in high resolution that it does in the thumbnail. Secondly, the twig at the bottom is rather distracting- perhaps that could be cropped out? J Milburn ( talk) 18:12, 17 February 2009 (UTC) reply

• Question: Is the fungus typically tilted like that? Spencer ^{T♦ C} 21:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC) reply

  Because of its rather unique small head, this species isn't constrained spatially by the presence of a large cap like other 'typical' mushrooms, so this non-vertical orientation is well within the limits of normal. Besides, it's phallic. Sasata ( talk) 09:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC) reply

• Support I agree it does look better full size. The twig doesn't bother me and this seems to meet the criteria. ~ ωαdεstεr16 _«talk ^stalk» 00:03, 18 February 2009 (UTC) reply
• Support; this picture looks a lot better to me now. I would still support cropping out the twig, but even if it is there, I'm happy. J Milburn ( talk) 00:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC) reply
