I have only done that once or twice, why do you ask?

 

If your worried about ID i promise if i name it Im certain, and if im not i ask my friends at wab!

[Arborist]

No not worried about your ID, im just interested in fungi and being able to positively id them my self. I haven't tried to take a spore print yet and as im colour blind on shades it probably wouldn't help much!

 

Whats wab?

I would say spore prints are good for id in part a small portion of the id.

 

the main things are the anatomical features, like stipe shape stipe ring present or not, cap scales, mucus substrate colour of mycelium, cap form is very varied as are the gill plate attachments, all features to note.

 

WAB is a forum, wild about britain, a realy and i mean really usefull site for fungi lichens and all wild things, birds ento all that jazz, well worth a look.
