I am new to fungi, and finding it all a bit challenging. I have just been bought a book - Roger Phillips "Mushrooms" with over 1250 species therein. It looks good. Can people recommend other books? |

WAB has a Fungi Resource section with a sub section on Fungi books:
It is at: Reviews - Fungi

Also have a look at the website for the North East group at North Eastern Fungus Study Group - Home
There is a Foray at Kiplin Hall between Richmond and Northallerton on the 11th Sept |

As you have the Roger Phillips book already I would suggest you add Michael Jordan's Encyclopedia of Fungi of Britain and Europe. Those two books are still heavily used by me, even though I now have a number of more specialised books in my library.
If you get into the microscopy side of fungi then Funga Nordica (which is a collection of keys, using microscopic details where appropriate) is superb value and it is my most used book ... it doesn't have photos of the fungi (although MycoKey comes with it, which has some).

Melanie | I was always amazed that after having such a successful basketball career Michael turned his hand to fungi.
By all accounts LeBron James is currently writing a book on odonata, and has asked Steve (Fourwings) for help.

Collins nature guides mushrooms and toadsstools of britain and europe (Edmund Garnweidner) is a very good and compact book with photographic pictures for identification. | | |
