It includes:

BMS keys, current recommended - Resources - British Mycological Society
At time of post the following were available, but more are to be added, so a webpage to keep an eye on: Clavaria (brown and black ones), Galerina, Hypoxylon, Lactarius, Naucoria, Psathyrella (red edged gilled ones), Xerocomus, and one that I find extremely useful when I need to establish genus, Keys to British Genera of Agarics and Boleti

BMS older keys - Resources - British Mycological Society
older ones, still considered useful, on Cortinarius, Myxomycetes, Tephrocybe and Dung fungi

BMS archived keys - Resources - British Mycological Society
which may still be of some use or interest, particularly if you don't have any for that particular area ...

Entoloma - Entoloma introduction page

 Fungi odours, in French - Liste des Principales Espèces Odoriférantes  I find this useful when I've got a fungus with a distinctive smell and I'm struggling with other keys. It is compiled from literature references, and interesting to see the variations in descriptions by different authors of the odour of a particular fungus. It needs to be used in conjunction with the British Checklist or other nomenclature websites as it includes older and newer names.
