Hello Thenukha.Mycc!

Your work on the fungus is organized and informative, great job! Overall, the flow of your outline was extraordinary. As a reader, I was able to have my questions answered quickly because of the logical arrangement of your subheadings. I have listed below a few suggestions:

Flow

  • First, since this is a pathogenic fungus, I suggest that you include a "pathology and treatment" section, which describes both the mechanism of infection (i.e. the original "Mycotoxicity" section) and the preventative treatment (i.e. the original "preventative treatment and measures" section).
  • Suggested sections

-Summary

-History and taxonomy

-Growth and morphology

-Physiology

-Habitat and ecology

-Pathology and treatment

-Laboratory culturing methods

Modifications

  • Summary

The summary was well-constructed. However, I suggest that you also mention some preventative treatment options following the description of its pathogenic characteristics. I suggest that you also summarize the morphology, physiology, ecology, and taxonomy of this fungus in this section, and later expand your description under the subheadings. An example to look at is the page Apophysomyces variabilis.

  • History and taxonomy

"extensive" sounds a little subjective to me when it is used to describe Wehmer's work. Could you instead elaborate on why the research was extensive? (i.e. which aspects of citrus fruits investigation contributed to the discovery of Penicillum italicum?)

  • Growth and morphology

This section can be further broken down into "morphology", and "reproduction". As for the optimal growth pH, was the range observed with laboratory culturing? If so, this may go into the "Laboratory culturing methods". Alternatively, this information can be included in "Physiology".
