And to reflect Mikes words - wait until you get to the crucifers. the yellow ones all look the same and the leaves at the bottom are different to those further up the stem so the only way to ID is to either take lots of photos of the plant or take the book with you

You're really making me feel more intimidated (only joking) by telling me how hard it is going to be when I get on to the yellow crucifers. I'm glad that even the experts find it very difficult at times to ID certain species. Imagine how I feel when nearly every flower or plant is a mystery. Thanks everyone for all your support with IDs.

I'm still learning - only done it for 2 years. If you get any crucifers and I'll give them a try - quite good at them since making lots of mistakes and learning last year

Keep these threads coming. NOthing better than some IDs I can do rather than fungi
