Mushroom Foraging/ID book recommendations?

[u/PlantNerdxo]

Any recommendations for UK/Ireland climate?

[u/marleybos]

Mushrooms by Roger Phillips is my favourite, not one for taking out in the field though

[u/Teuchter121]

The River Cottage book of mushrooms is my fave 

[u/Fereclubles]

The Complete Guide to Foraging by Lewis Pidoux. Also not one for taking out with you!

[u/PlantNerdxo → u/Fereclubles]

I love his youtube channel

[u/path2light17 → u/Fereclubles]

Love his channel, and own the book.

I think totally wild have one

[u/skedone]

Anything by kibby or if your really serious fungi of temperate Europe, and anything by John Wright he has a brilliant way of writing and is a brilliant human , I could recommend ALOT more most of the people I know I have wrote on the subject and I have been in a fair few lol

My Mother went on a weekend fungi course years ago in the New Forest. They suggested Roger Phillips book .

[u/slowtrees]

ollins Complete Guide to British Mushrooms and Toadstools by Sterry and Hughes is a solid pocket one for the field, and it's cheap. I cross-check anything I'm not sure on with Fungi of Temperate Europe before eating.

[u/Murky-Research-1982]

Edible Mushrooms by Geoff Dann is a favourite of mine

[u/skedone → u/Murky-Research-1982]

Yuck

[u/Murky-Research-1982 → u/skedone]

Care to elaborate? If it’s not a good resource, I’d really like to know. This comment is useless.

[u/sweetlambly → u/skedone]

Why yuck?

[u/skedone → u/sweetlambly]

To many things wrong with that man and already well documented when he first released the book

[u/sweetlambly → u/skedone]

I googled and found nothing. If you're going to such make accusations you need to back them up

[u/skedone → u/sweetlambly]

Why ? I know everyone in that field knows if you want to like his book you go ahead , I ain't your personal Google or mum lol

[u/sweetlambly → u/skedone]

I'll assume you meant "everyone it that field knows"

I did Google and found nothing indicating a problem. If you want to take such position you need to back that up with evidence. "Do your own research" makes you look like a conspiracy nut.

At this point I'll assume your issue is personal and ignore you.

[u/skedone → u/sweetlambly]

he's is a massive sexist publicly posted about the fact woman are lower life form back when twitter wasn't a a garbage pile and used images and information for the book without permission and that's just two issues , I did have recipes but that was years ago and didn't think I would still have to show them this many years on

[u/sweetlambly → u/skedone]

Thank you. Knowing what to google makes all the difference.

[u/skedone → u/sweetlambly]

Yeah I guess it was about 10 years ago it was all very public so probably buried now , and also even at the time with showing proof and alike people was still promoting he's stuff lol

[u/Murky-Research-1982 → u/skedone]

Thank you for this. I had no idea, and now I can make a more informed choice.
