Mushroom or fungi identification

[phomme]

I have a macro lens, and on occasion shoot very small mushrooms or should I say Fungi.  Where can I go on internet to help me identify the name of the mushroom in my photo.

Google lens is a good start but funghi id can get pretty tricky as some can be identified by spore shape and size only.

My tip is know the general id criteria and check these out in the field when you are with the actual specimen, a photo is not generally enough.

I have the Collins Mushroom and Toadstool Guide by Gardweidner which is pretty good and pocket size 

Good luck

I have "Fungi of Britain and Northern Europe"  by  Paul Sterry. From the Field Naturalist's Library.

By the way the book i use is only Britain and Europe, so might not be great for a resident of the land of the maple leaf
