Knowing Mushrooms
WEB Reference, Nov. 2005 (Rogers Mushrooms website) -The site is based on Roger Phillips seminal work 'Mushrooms and other fungi of Great Britain and Europe' and the similar book published on the mushrooms and Fungi of North America.

We already have over 3000 images on our site to help you identify and learn more about the mushrooms of Europe and North America!
