Reference books for mold identification

I have several reference books I use for mold identification and investigation. 

Inspecting a House - Caldwell
Sampling and Identifying Allergenic Pollens and Molds - E. Grant Smith
Biological Risk Engineering Handbook - Boss and Day
Category I: Antimicrobial Pesticides - U of MN Extension
Mold Matters - Danielle and Dobbs -
Identifying Fungi - St. Germain and Summerbell

Three books will be a good start.  E Grant Smith's book on fungal and pollen spores is a must read for persons looking at Air-o-cell cassettes.  Guy St. Germain's book on Identifying fungi is a good introductory text that I have used for a class on fungal identification.  Quizes to test your ID skill are available through thees links - line drawing and microscope views.

Aspergillus restrictus - N. Carlson

Feel free to comment on other reference books that you have found to be helpful.
