Field Mycology Guides

Whether you’ve just spotted your first waxcap or you’re ready to put spores under the microscope, these guides will help you get more from every foray.

We start with the basics: what to look for in the field, how to photograph a fungus so it can be identified, and which details really matter. From there you’ll sharpen your field techniques, then take your first steps into microscopy. Each guide is written for UK field mycologists, so you can put what you learn into practice on your next walk and record what you find with the Field Mycologist app.
