The best book for identifying mushrooms in the field (at least in the U.K.). Written by a rather eminent mycologist. Very thorough but I find it pretty accessible to laymen too.
There is a pinned thread on this subreddit on ID. But I would suggest getting a mushroom ID book like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mushrooms-Roger-Phillips/dp/0330442376 and joining a facebook or reddit book on mushroom foraging generally. Get used to IDing and recognising mushrooms of different kinds.
get yourself a non locking folding pocket knife within UK carry limits, as you harvest trim away dirty bits of the mushrooms before adding to your bag/basket. This will save a lot of time down the road when it comes to cleaning.

Here are some from my shelf, mostly geared towards Europe and the UK:
