Hi arran,

 

If you buy matthecks "manual of wood decays in trees" they have all the basic uk fungi and great descriptions and images, im sure alot of members on here would also recommend that book. And I have attatched some fungi flashcards I made a year ago, hope they help.

Ciaran - hope you don't mind but I saved a copy of those two!

 

I'm an ND arb student so have been studying some of those diseases, but some of them we haven't touched on so it'll be good to know which ones to research into.

 

Arran, as part of our course we are making similar "flash cards" and they're a really good way to get to know the fungi - I'll be using Ciaran's as a basis for which fungi I should make additional information sheets on. Also, Weber & Mattheck's book is top notch.

Not a Problem, once you have made similar flash cards at college post them on here and add to the collection!
