Ainsworth, M., 2004

Developing tools for assessing fungal interest in habitats, 1: beech woodland saprotrophs

Proposes the use of indicator species to assess the mycological value of Beech woodland.

Also useful for photographs, field hints and distribution maps of 34 rare saprotrophs from English beechwoods, but make sure you get the colour version.

The same material has since been published in Field Mycology. (Ainsworth, M., 2005, Field Mycology, Volume 6(2), pp41-61)
