[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Doubt it, didn't have a clue about most of them and changed my mind several times about some! Feel free to laugh at my answers later.

By my reckoning, that makes four entries.

 

I'll check them this morning, and anounce the winner later.

 

Bart, Alliaria, Ficus, Katie, any of you planning to be at Capel over the next couple of days?

good effort indeed.

 

 

500 plus views but only 4 entries

Think maybe they were a little bit hard with a couple of curve balls in there, perhaps I should of put together something a little less challenging.

Next time.

 

Glad it was fun for some.

 

Can you pm me an address so i can send you the prize, Bart ?

 

You will be the sad/I mean proud owner of a copy of..........

Gerrit J. Keizers - Complete Encyclopedia of Mushrooms.

a fine book, that has helped me no end

 

Hope you enjoy

Many thanks for running the competition Monkey-D, looks like I need to brush up on my fungi ident. What book or books would you recommend (ISBN numbers if possible) to help me.

 

Thanks again

Your very welcome Ben.

 

Is a good way for me to revisit what I see and keep it fresh.

 

 

 

I generally use;

 

Michael Jordans - Encyclopedia of Fungi of Britain & Europe

Paper back ISBN is 0 7112 2379 3

Which is around £17

 

Gerrit J. KJeizers Complete Encyclopedia of Mushrooms

2nd edition (2007) Hard back ISBN 978 90 366 1598 3

retails for £13 but Amazon often have it at about a fiver.

 

The one that's out and about with me most of the time is,

Collins Complete guide to British Mushrooms & Toadstools (Sterry & Hughes)

Paperback ISBN 978 0 00 7232246

£17

 

On line I tend to use the Rogers A-Z quite a bit

Rogers Mushrooms | Mushroom Pictures & Mushroom Reference

 

Also some newish Arbs take on Mycology called TreeFung-ous or something.

Not very good though that one

treefung-ous

Really sorry i missed this one.....I would have got 1,7 & 8 right without a book, albeit spelt incorrectly i think, and guessed at the ganoderma app. as just a ganoderma. Good thread David.
