Just a "hello"

Hi, my name is Diana.  I live just outside of Tampa.  We have a wonderful treed lot with many mushrooms popping up.  I am very much a novice.  Only just discovered that not all mushrooms have gills.  :)  I did find some oyster mushrooms last fall growing on a log and promptly cooked them for dinner.  I do realize that that was not a smart thing to do and that mushroom identification is not something to go blindly into.  Picked up a book from the library, Mushroom and Other Fungi of North America - Roger Phillips, and am overwhelmed though it did awaken me to NOT eat anything based on MY identification!!

Anyway..... Rainy season has started.  I am photographing, collecting, slicing and trying my hand at IDing.  I do need to learn how to do spore prints and chemical tests.  Where is a good place to pick up supplies?  Such as the ammonia and KOH?  Guess I also need a microscope.  

I do tend to dive into things and really submerse myself.  With luck I should become quite good/dangerous within a year.  LOL
