A standard format for mushrooms?

Hi everyone. Since I cannot work in editing in my workgroup (we are still few), I started authoring outside. This article is far from good, of course. But as a mushroom amateur I'd like to have good mushroom articles in CZ. I started authoring with this, which I believe is the most important of mushroom articles... if some biologists happen to take a look please don't mind the contents too much yet. But, please, comment on the format I gave. May this be the standard for mushrooms?

Second issue, I'd like to have the title changed to the scientific name and Death cap to redirect to it (and not vice-versa, as it is now), but I just don't know how to do it! (Never mind, I found out)

Third, could anyone suggest me some very good books or review papers on mushrooms? As you can see, my references are not really high profile, and are, of course, in Italian. I would like to contribute on the base of a better bibliography.

Thanks

Re the name, I know nothing about mushrooms, but I noted an edit summary which said, "Most non-English mushroom hunters know this mushroom under this name." Since this is in English, isn't that irrelevant? Generally, I think we should refer to things under their common English names in the English language CZ. You may do things differently in the Italian CZ if and when we set it up! --Larry Sanger 08:37, 19 February 2007 (CST)
