Along with the knowledgeable folks on here, I'd also recommend the Collins Mini Gem guide, you can stick it in your pocket the illustrations and photos are very good and importantly it also cross-references species that might get confused with details of how to tell them apart. Only a few quid and quite indispensible.

I bought this one a while back and have never looked back, its called Mushrooms - by Roger Phillips That Collins one is great to stick in your back pocket and take with you for quick identification but the Roger Phillips one is far more comprehensive in my opinion.,
