Yer that figures, thank you.

Quick question though....... ( its almost a can you just situation!) Do you have any good reference websites for fungi, as lets say an id has been made, is there a good site that will give an indication of how serious the species is regarding the health of the host. In this particular case i don't think its a massive issue, but for future reference. Ta
