CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS 



A LIST OF THE FUNGI GROWING IN THE 



DISTRICT AROUND CARLISLE. 



By Dr. CARLYLE. 



(Communicated at the Carlisle Anntial Meeting.) 



The following contribution towards a list of the Fungi growing 

 within a radius of five miles around Carlisle has been drawn up at 

 the request of the Committee, from the substance of some lectures 

 delivered before the Carlisle Scientific Society in 1881 and 1882. 

 It contains the results of a systematic study of these organisms 

 dating only from the early part of 1881, and it is therefore 

 necessarily incomplete in its present form ; and it will, doubtless, 

 require to be considerably extended as further observations are 

 made. Such forms as require for their identification a minute 

 examination by the aid of the microscope are not referred to in 

 the present list.
