Hi All
Not sure how many (if any) are on here
We here in the South East UK have been seeing rather good mushroom growths
In past years even the good old standbys were absent or riddled with maggots
before they were even open
So now my question, does anyone have (or know of) a good "Binary Tree
Identification" for edible / poisonous mushrooms?
I have googled for same but the best (design wise) I found ruled almost all the
common edible mushrooms I know of (Field, Horse, Parasol & both Ink Caps) as
poisonous
Any pointers gratefully received
I can programme the tree once I have some reliable data to work from, this will
be for my own use and "IF" it is taken further full credit (blame :->) will be
given for any helpers

Hello,
There may be some very good data about mushroom occurrences and diversity in the UK, I think there are still plenty of undescribed species of mushrooms there.
With mushroom, we know about their edibility or lack thereof through experience only, and there are no rules other than identifying the mushroom and read about past reports on it to figure out on its status. More annoyingly, even some past report about toxicity may be misleading since we are discovering that many of the species we recognize hide more than one biological entities.
A binary approach (in contrast to a synoptic approach) requires you to know all the species occurring in your area and is prone to problems when faced with a species missing from your list.
I don't know if this comment helps, but i thought i'd give it a shot.

And this year especially, there are many more mushrooms I have not encountered
before (my normal site has had only Field, Wood, Horse, Parasol, Inkcaps & a
single Gient PuffBall) now there are to name a few (possibilly) Shaggy Parasols
&/or Lepiota Cristata, cant tell as they seem
too big for Lepiota Cristata
but too small for Shaggy Parasols
when cap, height & stem are compared to reference
