I have however set myself the task of learning and identifying (even if only roughly) every mushroom that I find. And with most of them I am learning all the latin names as well. It starts getting a bit confusing after a while but every so often I will just repeat all of them to myself in my head and I will name them every time I see them. I also spend a lot of time reading my mushroom/wild food books. And flicking through the photos on the gallery!  |
You are going about it the right way Minamoo, the more time you spend getting to know the mushrooms the more you learn, know your limit though and don't take on too much at one time as this is when they can get on top of you and maybe put you off.
