Good Fungi Identification Guides

[Andrew Reed]

For those interested, one of the better books I have seen is by Roger Phillips called Mushrooms, and is published by Macmillan. For edible fungi identification, a simple but easy to use one is Field Guide to Edible Mushrooms of Britain and Europe, by Peter Jordan. Using Peter Jordan's book I have discovered: several kilograms of Dryads Saddle which is kind of edible but rather chewey, Hedghog Fungus which is simply not very tasty, Common Yellow Russula which is very bland, but the edible Boletus types are well worth identifying to eat.

Both excellent books, would put Collins complete guide to British Mushrooms & toadstools which is also a fine tome & is a beter size for being out in the field.

 

For more indepth Tree/Fungi association then Gerrit J. Keizer's The complete encyclopedia of Mushrooms, is hard to beat.

What does the Kiezer one cost monkey? is this the one you mentioned before with the mycorrhizal associations listed?

Gives a nod in the direction of whether a fung is mycorrhizal & if it's rdl status.

 

it's verrrrrrrrrrry expensive

They always are! the best books are like treasured nuggets! I was looking for a A Rayner book online, nearly fell of the chair at nearly 400 quid! Most of the myco books I want average 180!

 

education is a slow slow proscess not due to capacity but ability to purchase it!

David,

You may also be interested in the CD-ROM The Interactive Guide to Mushrooms and other Fungi (ETI BiodiversityCentre, Amsterdam/London, 2010) by the same author, which can be ordered at the website of ETI Biodiversity Center, University of Amsterdam.

Currently stuck into Ryvardens' two volumes on European Polypores.

 

Going to be busy for a while I think.
