fungi id aa book

Fungi on Trees – An Arborists’ Field Guide- I found this one on AA web-site.

It says it's full of photos to make it easy to recognize different fungi. Does anybody here have one, is it worth buying?

I need an entry level sort of fungi id book to start. If not this one, any other suggestions?

cheers

Hi Pete, I've got a copy and reckon its an ideal guide to have out in the field, well worth the money, the AA have also just released a p & d version which looks fairly helpful too,

It is very good Pete & focuses on the 25 or so principal decay fungi.

 

As an alternative have you thought about the Arbtalk fungi app?

there are a lot more species in there and hundreds of photos and also a tree species host association to help narrow down an I'd

 

& the photos are ever so slightly better in the app than the guide, in my humble opinion of course

 

I imagine the p&d guide is also good, but I haven't been able to get it off Nick for long enough to read through it

After having a good look thru the p&d guide I reckon the pics are good too, well...perhaps the odd one might not be up to scratch

Careful private, those photographer chaps are a sensitive bunch

Could do with a couple of pages of tree species & their specific p&d association perhaps.

Maybe something to consider for a next edition.

 

Oh and some better Armillaria shots

It is a start, as for the photography I thought the standard was pretty good?

 

Ever thought about publishing something yourself?

Just jesting Tony,

 

Fine images in the new guide

 

The guys in the team are just ribbing me over my one shot in the p&d guide

Guy used one of my Armillaria shots.

 

It's interesting reflecting on images and experience.

The AA contacted me not long before printing the new p&d guide for a few images they were short of.

I didn't have the ones they were after (things like goat willow emergence holes)

With p&d its pretty dependent on your specific location and travels as opposed to fungi where they're much more blanket dispersed.

 

Steve and I have talked about a p&d app at some point.
