How to use the Keys
Easy Key
We have picked out some of the salient features of the fungus specimens you
may be trying to identify and built up a series of check-boxes that you can
click to bring up a selection of mushrooms that have those features.
It is not a dichotomous key, rather a very simplified multi-entry key.
The best way to use it is to enter the characters you are sure about, such
as unusual smell, stem absent, small size, grows on wood orange colour.
Those answers that you find difficult are best left out, it is not necessary
to click in every section.
When you have put in all the element you are sure about have a look at the
selection you have made in many cases the group you will need to examine via
the full text may be immediately obvious.
To avoid a 50 page key we have reduced the number of possibilities to a very
restricted series of questions, (sometimes we may be at fault for over
restricting the number of choices), thus the word "brown" in the mushroom
colour section covers all browns from yellowish, reddish to olivaceous, and
all the tones from fairly light to very dark.
Visual Key
This is another way into the vast numbers of mushroom that are contained in the site.
It is especially designed for the beginner. Spend a little time looking over
the pictures so when you make a collection you will have an idea of which of
the main genera you might have collected and can first go to that genus or
group. For the more knowledgeable it is an easy way to bring up all the
members of a group, some of the groups are composites like Boletus and
allies, some are simple like Russula.

How to purchase images from the site.
The site contains over 3000 images of mushrooms from North America and Europe but this represents only a fraction of
the number of high quality photographs available from the work of Roger Phillips. Please visit the section
