UK ID Request - First Timer Advice
    #18848465 - 09/16/13 10:48 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Hi guys, I've been out today for my first mushroom explore and my first explore of the forum.







Habitat shot: woodland area, full of various trees, with cow fields next to

Cap: Brown-ish kinda colour, the one on the left alot darker. (probably different mushroom)

Gills: white, again the left mushroom they are dark brown/black. (not sure what configuration or attachment)

Stem/base: left one - long, thin 6inch dark colours, brownish. the others short 1 - 2 inch, white, a bit thicker

My first post and explore of the mushroom world, looking forward to the future and any help would be great!

Welcome! It will help if you seperate species into their own pics.

The ones with white gills look like a Hygrocybe species. The one with brown gills may be a Psathyrella species.

Try to illuminate your pics differently, the gill shots are very underexposed. You can use a flash or a flashlight, or try taking the pics outside.

Okay I will next time separate next time, and to be honest I thought the 3 on the right were the same species.

I can't get more pictures as I have just set them up to look at the spores...



In the mean time, I would love to further my understanding in any which way. How to be better at identification, understanding on differences between mushrooms, psilocybin mushrooms and where liberty caps come into this. any links would be great :smile:

A field guide coupled with this forum is a great start. Wild About Britain also has a great forum for fungi but you don't go talking drugs (or even food) there.

I was  inspired by Roger Phillips' Wild Food, and by thoughts of friends who had picked libs back in the day, and bought myself the tiny Collins Gem field guide to mushrooms, which is in a lot of bookshops. That is a great little book for familiarising yourself with genera and with common species. (There are other good books in that range although some, like the spider guide, are not UK-centric and therefore not useful in the field). The other great field guide for a beginner is also published by Collins, from The Complete Guide range, and is written by Sterry (who is amazing, he has written extensive field guides on all kinds of wildlife for various publishers) & Hughes. At some point you will want bigger field guides by Phillips and one by Michael Jordan, and maybe the new Buczacki (also Collins and very extensive but not what it was cracked up to be). No other British mushroom field guide, short of specialist guides to genera etc, compares with those 5.
