LIST OF FUNGUSES OBSERVED AT THE FUNGUS 

 FORAYS AND EXHIBITION OF THE WOOLHOPE 

 NATURALISTS' FIELD CLUB, OCT. 20th— 25th, 1873. 



By Dr. BULL. 



The Forays of 1873 were held at the very close of the Fungus Season, 

 and the season, too, being one of the most unfavourable for mycelium growth 

 that has been known for many years. The season of 1872 — one of the most 

 rainy of years — had been very bad, but 1873 has been much worse. July and 

 August were very wet months (having a rainfall of nearly 3 and 3i inches 

 respectively), but the temjjerature was not only below the average, but ex- 

 tremely variable, and to this must be attributed the great scarcity of funguses. 

 This list is therefore comparatively small. It is, however, a very interesting 

 one. It contains no less than four species new to Great Britain, and the 

 accuracy of the names of those found is guaranted by the presence of so many 

 eminent botanists who did the Club the honour to attend its meetings.
