Fungi 
​Russulaceae to Xylariaceae

WARNING - Do not use this site to identify fungi to collect and eat from the wild 
With so many of our species of Fungi being inedible or poisonous, and with some causing severe illness or death, I would recommend that no-one collects fungi from the wild for eating, unless they are a real expert.
