Good mushroom books/courses

[WoodWhite]

What are the best (bigginer) mushrom books around, where to buy are and how much to buy, also, any good courses or walks in south east england?
Seeing as theres been a bumper crop of mushrooms this year, I dont want to miss out next year...

Hi Greenleaf
Roger Philips book is the best availible IMO. Its a full size book rather than a pocket guide but the photos are far better than drawings I think. Any good bookshop should have it as its been reprinted recently.(£20 ish).
Some of the smaller guides are good but they miss out some of the fungi that have other uses and also perhaps more importantly species that could be confused with edible mushrooms.Ed

I went on a walk with these guys a few years back:

Had an excellent time and they were really informative.
