Reviewer 2 Report

The paper suggests that basidiome formation, as hypothesized, is due to temperature, humidity, and nest ventilation. The photos are good, and the paper is concise and well structured. Other than quite a few English errors, the paper is fine. Though some may have concerns with the low sample size, I know this is a rare phenomenon to observe.

Reviewer 4 Report

    The manuscript is well written and in a coherent manner. The stated conclusions correlate to the obtained results. The article should be interesting for specialists, but less interesting for researchers specialized in other fields or for other types of readers.
