As I said in my last post, this Autumn has been an excellent season for fungi and I have had plenty of opportunities to continue to hone my fungi identification skills, such as they are.
I am still very much a beginner and I have long since realised that it is not enough just to take photographs of your finds and expect to be able to make a positive identification from books when you get home.
Some species are easy to identify but the vast majority are tricky to pin down to species level. I am learning to use bruise and peel tests when helpful but I still get home to check the books and read about another test that would have proved diagnostic.
Of the following images, I am fairly confident that most are correctly labelled but a few have been more tricky.
Orange Grisette (Amanita crocea)
