The above is certainly not a list to be despised for a single 
locality, during four days, of which, of course, some were rainy. 
We cannot report so well of other genera, and know little of 
interest to be recorded. 
The Hackney Microscopical and Natural History Society made 
a successful Saturday afternoon excursion to the Chingford side 
of Epping Forest on the 13th of October. A record was kept of 
upwards of 100 specimens of Hymenomycetes seen and determined, 
many of which of course were common species. Amongst the 
rarities was a very peculiary variety of Boletus, somewhat inter- 
mediate between ZL. granulosus and B. bovinus, and scarcely 
referable to either, which has been called B. granulatus, var. 
tenuipes. Besides this was Ag. (Fleurotus) corticatus, Ag. ( Pholiota) 
terrigenus, and Ag. (Amanita) spissus. Several specimens of Ag. 
(Clitocybe) cerussatus were found, and proving agreeable to the 
taste whilst raw, were cooked and eaten, thus adding another, and 
an excellent one, to the list of edible species. 
The Hertfordshire Natural History Society held their annual 
Cryptogamic meeting at Watford on Saturday, the 27th October, 
when a considerable number of species were added to the county 
list of Fungi, the complaint of the residents being that there were 
“fewer fungi in the woods this year than for many preceding 
years.” Perhaps the most interesting specimens found were some 
very large Ag. (Amanita) excelsus and a cluster of Ag. (Aypho- 
loma) storea. 
This completes our brief record of the Fungi Forays of 1883. 
No frost, in the neighbourhood of London, occurred till the 13th 
of November, the Fungus season has this year been prolonged 
later than usual. From Grevillea.
