Wild Mushroom Identification - Recommended Books for All Skill Levels:
Every amateur mycologist should have a decent library of books, here are the top five books I highly recommend for wild mushroom identification:

1) Edible Mushrooms: A Forager's Guide to the Wild Fungi of Britain and Europe - The Best, Newest UK mushroom guide - Geoff Dann

2) Mushroom Picker's Foolproof Field Guide: The Expert Guide to Identifying, Picking and Using Wild Mushrooms - A good all round book - Peter Jordan

3) Mushrooms: A comprehensive guide to mushroom identification - This one is a proper belter with loads and loads of good technical data - Roger Phillips

4) Complete Mushroom Book: The Quiet Hunt - A lovely book by a lovely man. Antonio Carluccio

5) Mushrooms: River Cottage Handbook No.1 - Always a favourite from Hugh's fungi specialist friend, John Wright

It is important to have at least 3 books so you can cross reference and cover as many species as possible

This looks to me like Clouded Funnel - Clitocybe Nebularis.

No probs. They�re classed as edible but they disagree with a lot of people apparently. Which is why I�ve always avoided them. I may try a small amount one day.... 🙂
