... that the mulch fieldcap mushroom, first described from France in 1913, was hardly seen for the next seven decades until it was found in Denmark in 1985?

Offline citation taken in good faith. Article meets expansion and length criteria and hook is cited at the end of the paragraph. Good to go for DYK. Miyagawa (talk) 10:55, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Hook citing at the end of the paragraph is insufficient for DYK, which requires that extraordinary claims (i.e., the hook fact) be cited no later than at the end of the sentence involved. Please see WP:DYK, Eligibility criteria, 3. b): "The hook fact must have an inline citation right after it, since the fact is an extraordinary claim; citing the hook fact at the end of the paragraph is not acceptable." To my view, "it was scarcely recorded again until 1985" is extraordinary. How many recorded sightings were there in those 72 years? I was also wondering whether another possible hook might contrast the previous scarcity with now being more common due to the increasing use of wood chips as mulch, though France/Denmark and 70+ years would be hard to beat.

I duplicated the cite. The source does not specify how many recordings were made in the intervening period. Have offered an ALT below: Sasata (talk) 15:27, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that the once rare mulch fieldcap mushroom has become more common due to the increasing use of woodchip mulch in ornamental flower beds?

Facts for both hooks are properly cited, offline sources AGF. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:30, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
