Mycology

A collection of my fungal finds! I love grubbing about in my forest and spotting new species! Fungus are fascinating and are more important to our ecosystem than many people realize. However I am definately not an expert at identification. I have worked out the pretty obvious ones, but for some species identification can be really complex. It gives me a bit of a headache just trying to work out what some are!

I've put some books, resources and links in the Mycology Library if you want to try and indentify some of the species you have found!
