Forager Trip Info:

Hi there.

These photos are from a recent trip to the local woods around Ham Hill near Yeovil, by me and my friend Austin.

Since we are both relatively new to foraging we did not manage to identify much of what we found.

On a subsequent trip to another area around Yeovil, we found an abundance of a mushroom amongst Pine trees, which I cannot positively identify, but I think might be a species of Milk Cap. See http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=46207&l=42531&id=772198742

If anyone can help us identify our finds we'd be interested to know.

We're also keen to get on a forraging trip where there are more knowledgable people present.

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) Field Guide to Edible Mushrooms of Britain and Europe - Great layout with superb images - Peter Jordan

2) Mushroom Picker's Foolproof Field Guide - A good all round book - Peter Jordan

3) The Mushroom Book - This one is a proper belter with loads and loads of good technical data - Thomas Laessoe

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

5) The River Cottage Handbook - Mushrooms - 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
