I've photo'd, I've noted habitat, I've sniffed, I've picked, I've tasted (carefully!), I've examined under a hand lens, I've spent a while perusing books and at times the internet; and finally I've ID'd some of the fungi I've collected during walks from Endon along the disused railway line and to Deep Hayes Country Park. Identified using Buczacki, S. (2012), Fungi Guide Harper Collins and Phillips, R. Mushrooms (2006), Macmillan.
