He was presented with the Garden Media Guild Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. In 2012 he published Collins' Fungi Guide, the most comprehensive single volume illustrated field guide to British fungi ever written with around 2,500 species. He is a Fellow of CAB International, holds Honorary Doctorates from the University of Southampton and the University of Derby and in 2007 was installed as the first Honorary Fellow of Pershore College shortly before its merger with Warwickshire College.

In September 2011 he criticised the BBC radio programme Gardeners' Question Time for having 'lost its way'.
