Best thing is to get a good fungi book and start from there.Some books have dicotomus keys in..just get into a good book and go out look at fungi,smell,touch open them up and learn like that.

Ditto, like shigo said, to learn just go out and do it, the old fashioned way.

 

There is little out there specific to trees

thanks for the input all. i know that using a book and getting up close is the best way but it would be great if there was an ident poster.

maybe someone could/should make one.

We have the second one in both of our work trucks just so we can identify the fungi. Judging by the size of the fruiting body, we decide wot is the best plan of action for the tree. Whether it be monitor each year, reduce, pollard or full removal.

You base your appraisal of tree condition based on size of fruit body?

 

this method is wholey unreliable.
