[edit] Calocera viscosa
The Image Ramaria stricta.jpg does definitely not show Ramaria.-
It is most probably Calocera viscosa. compare:
- I have put the picture back. I'm not at all a specialist myself, but I'd be very surprised if the picture doesn't represent the species it says it does. It is a featured picture and was picture of the day on May 19, and is featured in 19 different wikis (originally uploaded from the Italian wikipedia). I can't possibly think that it would be a featured picture if the caption was wrong. If that's the case, however, you should bring that up on the talk page for the image, and its featured picture status should be removed. IronChris | (talk) 01:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- OK I just noticed that you did bring the problem to the talk page of the image. Good move. I guess someone will answer soon and we will know what to do with this picture. IronChris | (talk) 02:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Look R. here: http://www.pilzbestimmung.de/switchto.php?/datenbank/mushdesc.php4?Buchst=R&PILZ=1158&gattcode=rad&nav=no&lang=lat
The experts in the Forum said no R.
- I am stupid also.

Hello,
I agree completely that the image certainly does not show R. stricta. It is a nice picture but should be shown as Calocera viscosa.
Further proof: http://www.pilzgalerie.de/Calocera_viscosa.htm - definitely showing C. viscosa
http://www.google.com/images?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&hl=en&q=calocera+viscosa&btnG=Search+Images - Google Images: most of the pictures there should be correctly identified as C. viscosa
While R. stricta is harder to identify, many of the Google Images listed here should be correct. Notice the difference between the wikipedia.org pictures listed there and the others?
Typical images of R. stricta are shown here, for example: http://www.biopix.eu/Photo.asp?Language=fr&PhotoId=18868 http://www.pilzfotopage.de/Aphyllos/images/Ramaria%20stricta.jpg http://perso.orange.fr/champi.fc/aphyllos/images/Ramaria_stricta.jpg
R. stricta cannot be confused with C. viscosa. C. viscosa does not break easily, color golden yellow and can be bent considerably. R. stricta can be confused with other fungi of the genus Ramaria, breaks up easily and never displays the deep yellowish colors of C. viscosa.
