Oh, I'm definitely in the "new to this" camp as well. As a newbie I'd definitely need to see the gills/pore/spikes etc before I could start to wonder what they might be. There's still only a small number of funghi I am confident in my ID of.
This is a good "pocket" guide for more common things you might come across, I'd trust a book more than an app, the apps are generally not so great at correct IDs.
Thanks for this, no worries at all, that's useful info, I got a photo of the gills on the last one but didn't post it. I'm a total noob and kind of assumed these may have been obvious and easily identified by some of the more knowledgeable people here, but I guess it's not always that straightforward. I thought the first one looked like something, the other two are a bit more generic looking. I'm just enjoying spotting new stuff when I'm out and about at the moment and trying to learn some bits along the way.
