I think it's worth having a few, particularly if you're trying to id bracket fungi because some of them change quite a lot as they develop.

 

'Mushrooms' by Roger Phillips has lots of pics

'Diagnosis of ill health in trees' has a section, which is quite useful as it's arb specific

'Collins Gem' is a handy little field guide

 

I've managed to id most things I've come across cross referencing the above and also checking against online pics (online pics aren't always verified. but they're still often handy).

Thanks for the info Giles.

Add to that Fungal Strategies of Wood Decay in Trees...although perhaps it could refer to a wider range of species it will nonetheless afford you an invaluable insight to the types of decay we deal with, how they work and what to expect from infection in trees etc....

( Schwarze, Engels & Mattheck ) Springer press.

Additionally also, the publication " Manual of Wood Decays in Trees" ( Weber, Mattheck ) is most excellent!!
