With the prevalence of digital cameras and phones, a great tool for learning mushrooms is at everyone's fingertips. With a camera you can document your observations of mushrooms and then refer back to the photos a year later reminding you of details to look for and recognize. With a good set of photos you can increase and refine your knowledge of the mushrooms that you are interested in finding out in nature. This is useful even for the casual mushroom hunter, where details of Boletus edulis compared to Boletus regius, say, might be interesting to get down. But when using the digital camera or phone for record keeping there are some details which can make the quality of photos better, and make it quicker to get more info while in the field. So, here are ten tips on how to use your camera to help make your mushroom hunting better, in order of ease and importance.
