My nerdy mushroom identifying kit 🍄
Phone - to take all the photos and notes I need!! 😄 and a portable charger
Knife - crucial for getting those cross sections, scratching gills, size reference, etc
Basket - little or small to carry specimens without getting knocked around or damaged
Plastic ziplock - for any extremely tiny specimens or spore collection
Torch with UV - for looking in dark spots and spotting UV reactive fungi 😍
Chemical reagents - handy for more complex identification and to produce some fun colour reactions. KOH and guaiac are my main two I reach for but I also take ammonia and ferrous sulphate
Lighter - fun to show a dramatic yellow reaction in Agaricus yellow stainers
Whistle - for alerting people loudly if needed (thanks Forest Horizons!!)
Books - sometimes popped in my car for anything I want to look up before I go
