Accessories (members only)
The Association now offers a range of mycological accessories to its members at discounted prices. These include the LED illuminated hand lens, shown on the left, that has proved so popular since it was introduced in 2004. With x10 magnification the instrument offers a major advantage over conventional hand lenses because it projects a powerful beam of white illumination directly onto the subject of inspection. In a gloomy woodland on a dull autumn day this can make a tremendous difference to what can or cannot be seen.
Please note: the Association of British Fungus Groups is not a trading company and supplies are therefore restricted to members of the Association as exclusive membership benefits. To join or find more details please return to the Home page.
The ABFG Phonetics and Meanings Dictionary is available on CD and includes English meanings for almost all the genus and species names in Latin that you may come across. The same screen also gives the correct phonetic pronunciation for the words in Common English Latin. The CD runs in MS Excel. The ABFG Agaric Checklist, published in 2003, provides an indispensible reference source to many thousands of fungi comprising the Agaricales. All species currently included in the British Checklist of these families are detailed, with summaries of records and Vice County appearances since records began. Like the Phonetics & Meanings Dictionary it runs in MS Excel.
