Nice set of pictures here

'10 poisonous mushrooms to watch out for in Britain - Telegraph'

Useful site, good pictures. Thank you.


A much more useful site is
http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/

The photos are good (multiple specimens, cross sections etc),
he has good identification tools, clearly identifies poisonous
species and has good general advice.

However:
- his photos in his books are better; they are the
default standard for amateur mycologists

- it is unwise to rely on any single source of photos,
pen portraits, keys etc
