I am a biochemist/microbiologist with an interest in mycology, especially medicinal mushrooms. Editing Wikipedia is an excellent way to recycle trivia accumulated from over a decade of post-secondary education. It's also fun. Currently on a mission to ensure all fungal taxa get a page, down to genera level. When that's done, will work on fleshing out those stubs so that all articles in WikiProject Fungi are minimum start-class, with more notable taxa becoming at least B or GA class on the assessment scale. Yeah, there's thousands—it's a long-term project. Hopefully I'll learn something about the Fungi along the way. According to the 10th edition of the Dictionary of the Fungi (2008, p. 265), there's 36 classes, 140 orders, 560 families, 8283 genera (including 5101 synonyms) and 97861 species. According to my math that's 9019 articles from Kingdom to genus, plus whatever species articles happen to get written along the way. The WP:fungi chart below gives some indication of the progress.
