Useful resources for fungi ID

[listenclear]

Hi all,
Went to a fungi ID course over the weekend and was pointed towards these resources:

1st a list of keys you can download - used to identify various different families etc

http://www.britmycolsoc.org.uk/resources.asp?Cat=Keys - Current

2nd a really cool user friendly kind of key - you get to use the agarics section all the time and get the whole site for a trial but then you would have to buy it. It seems great though, although alot of it (apparently) is in Danish . I had a play around and put in the details i could remember of the fairy ring champingion (sorry cant spell) and it led me straight to it

3rd Fungi online. Not had a chance to use it but it came recommended so who am I to argue?!

http://www.fungionline.org.uk/

Some of you may have this stuff already but I thought it might be useful. All help needed when it come to mushrooms really

Enjoy

Thank you for the links

Where did you do the course? I keep threatening to find one and actually learn how to describe and define fungi properly

Excellent links, thanks for passing them on.

I'm doing a Fungi ID day with a local college in October which will be useful I hope.
