Cheers mate could you recommend any fungi id books for beginners?

[old snake]

Seen this on an ash recently is it Inonotus hispidus?

[old snake]

Helps if i post the pictures:001_tongue:

[David Humphries]

Doesn't appear that you need a beginners book, OS.

 

 

Go with your instinct, invariably you'll find your on the right track

 

 

Good call on the hispidus

 

 

I recently got hold of Michael Jordans Fungi Encyclopedia of Fungi of Britain & Europe.

 

Very good Id book.
