There has been quite a large volume of recording done on this group over the years, but the coverage has been very uneven. Several of the richer sites have been surveyed annually, but the vast majority, including reserves, have not been looked at. A card index compiled by the late Martin Ellis is housed at SBIS. A county checklist compiled by Martin and Pamela Ellis has been published.

Information on recording and identification can be found on the British Mycological Society website and the Fungus Conservation Trust, and our own Species Identification Guides page is well worth a look.
