Autumn fungi
Autumn wildlife bundle
Between the heat of summer and the hard frosts of winter, September and October are fantastic for fungi. Good places to look include gardens, parks, woodlands, grasslands, churchyards and cemeteries.
Unfortunately many fungi identification books can be heavy going. So here we have taken a different approach. Across these 3 fold-out guides, fungi expert Geoffrey Kibby has chosen over 100 distinctive species not easy to confuse with others. Specially-drawn colour illustrations highlight the main features to look out for. Text on the reverse side details key identification features, size, months and habitat for each species.
Distinctive grassland fungi guide
The Distinctive grassland fungi guide covers 40 species of spindles, corals, earthtongues, waxcaps, puffballs and more in Britain and Ireland. Some species look like mushrooms, while others come in a wide range of shapes and colours. Grassy places, like lawns, fields, churchyards, are a good place to hunt.
Distinctive gilled fungi guide
The Distinctive gilled fungi guide covers 40 species of fungi found in Britain and Ireland. Gilled fungi are the ‘mushroom’ style fungi which produce their spores from gills on the underside of a protective cap. Woodland edges and clearings are a great place to look for these fungi.
Distinctive non-gilled fungi guide
The Distinctive non-gilled fungi guide covers 40 species of puffballs, earthballs, tooth fungi, clubs, corals, bracket fungi and boletes of Britain and Ireland. Woodland edges and clearings are a great place to look for these fungi.
