Hi

I go walking often with my children and recently we have all became fascinated by the different types of fungi that we spot. We would love to learn more about them, can anyone recommend a good book we could use?

We have taken some pictures (well hundreds of pics to be honest) but having read some comments I'm not sure if you can get enough "info" from the pictures to ID them, would it be ok for me to post them anyway.

Thanks

There are several general Field Guides / PhotoGuides to ID'ing fungi.

Some good ones are: -
The Encyclopedia of Fungi of Britain and Europe (Michael Jordan)
Mushrooms (Roger Phillips)
Collins complete Guide to British Mushrooms and Toadstools (P. Sterry & B. Hughes)
Mushrooms & Toadstools of Britain & Europe (A. Gminder & T. Bohning)
