Thanks for all the suggestions! I've written them down and will visit a few bookshops in the city to check them out if in stock. Will update with the one that I choose. Thanks again, Steve

I've got a Collins gem book on Trees but im looking for something a bit more concise for the house. I really like the way thistree id website works: http://www-saps.plantsci.cam.ac.uk/trees/intro2.htm It ID's your tree by asking if the leaf is linear or roundish, opposite or alternate...

Hey Nagual, I see your from Ayrshire - I'm from Ayr here. If you ever fancy going on a shroom hunt give me a shout! I'm a newbie to identifying them also. Best place I have found so far was Loch Trool. Was heaving with mushrooms last year, most of which I failed to identify! I did find a lovely...

We need some nice person to upload a side by side comparison of the real ones and the false. Seen this topic come up a few times in the past and I always check the posts for a definitive answer. As a begginner I find it very difficult to tell between the two even with my little Collins mushroom...

I'd guess that the egg yolk yellow ones are the real ones and the orangey one is the false chanterelles. I've got loads of false ones growing in my garden which was quite dissapointing!

I had ordered a Highlander 66 but the shop didn't have it in the right color. These ones are on my shortlist also as they come in olive green and black/grey colors which I like. Both around £50ish. Might now go for the Bobcat as I can find it in stock and its lighter in weight than the others...

Theres a group of folk from my work going across to walk goatfell on the 30th. Your more than welcome to join our mini expedition and come for a few beers afterwards if you fancy it! It's a mixed group of folk with some newbie hillwalkers so it won't be a race to the top like some walks I've...

Went out for a wander at the weekend and got this pic. I'd like to send it in to rogers to help build up the pics on the site but being a beginner didn't want to send it with the wrong name! Found it growing on a fallen tree. Also found this one! I love this mushroom! Not too hard to ID! The...

I'm no expert im just guessing - 1,2,3 & 4 False Chanterelles. 9 - Something from the Panaeolus family.

So what are they all for us bushcraft newbies?

reminds me of the serated edges on a shark tooth but its obviously not that. Some sort of jawbone im guessing as well from some nasty fish. Rather strange gift especially if he's not told you what it is!

You should send them your pics. Yours mushroom is much better looking than the tatty looking ones they have on the website at the moment!

I reckon its Volvariella speciosa. http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/gallery/DisplayBlock~bid~6915~source~gallerychooserresult.asp **edit** I've removed the pic as it was from the website above and I think I may have to get permission to show it here. Better safe than sorry!

Perhaps you could post a few of them in here for us to see?

I love trying to ID mushrooms but it's so frustrating for a beginner! Great pics and info but I still have no idea what it is. You all probably know about it but this is a good ID website: http://www.rogersmushrooms.com

Yep avoid the Regattas. I bought a pair last week. So far the pocket zipper has broken off - it was strangely brittle. The buttons are looking like they might fall off after a few more buttons and unbuttonings. I wanted the craghoppers but they didn't have any in my size :( They are light and...

Whilst camping in Stornaway after week of island hopping my wife demanded that we book into a hotel! It had rained consistently for the week and we weren't that well prepared so got a bit soggy. (I hadn't found this site back then!) Unfortunately my ill preparedness has cost me as she now point...

The pictures aren't displaying for me!
