I2§ EPPING FOREST FUNGI. 



rather striate, soft, naked, gills adnexed, rather broad, trans- 

 versely pellucid striate, whitish. Sacc. SylL, No. 767. 



On Beech trunks, stem abruptly rooting, cuticle soft and 

 polished. Pileus purplish bay, almost black, dusky when dry, 

 about an inch across, before expansion, stem two or three inches 

 long. 



Amongst the specimens found and exhibited on the 12th Oct., 

 were : — 



Amanitopsis fulva, SchcefF, which resembles the ordinary 

 Amanitopsis vaginata, but, instead of being grey, the pileus is 

 bright brown, and instead of being edible, the fungus is sus- 

 pected of being deleterious. 



Pleurotus pantoleucus, Fr. Cooke, Illustrations t. 275a, 

 described in Cooke's Handbook, 2nd Ed., No. 368. Growing on 

 trunks. 



Russula azurea, Bres, Cooke Illiis. t. 1088, on the 

 ground. 



Boletus aurantiporus, Howse. A fine species with large 

 bright yellow pores. 



Calocera stricta, Fries. On dead wood and branches. 

 First time, Epping. 



Entoloma porphyrophoea, Fr., on the ground, possibly 

 recorded before under the name oi Entoloma jnhata, Fr. 



Mr. W. G. Smith has also reported Lactarius obliquus 

 for the Forest District.' 



Amongst rare species, which have been recorded in previous 

 years, were Russula cutefracta, Cooke, and Russula avmeniaca, 

 Cooke, found again in 1901. 



Add also for the first time at Epping Tricholoma circum- 

 tecta, Cooke. Ulus. t., 1182. 



I fancy this to be the best record of new and rare Forest 

 Fungi for at the least ten years.

The following minute species of Fungi were found, princi- 

 pally on dung. Those marked with an asterisk are new to the 

 Forest Flora. Concerning those unmarked, 1 am uncertain as 

 to their having been recorded before or not.
