Inocyhe Godeyi, I. rhodiola, Psaliota villatica, Corticium lac- 

 tescens, exuding white latex when perfectly fresh and in good 

 condition, Odontia fmihriata, and Clnvaria rosea (the latter 

 collected by Col. Barr), were amongst the most interesting 

 species identified in the field. Subsequently Galactinia Howsci*, 

 new to Britain, and Orbilia curvatispora , first recorded by 

 Dr. Bayliss Elliott in 1917, were determined. Miss A. Lorrain 

 Smith reported finding Stysanus cybosporus Sacc, which has 

 been previously recorded from near Birmingham. The tufts 

 are greenish-grey in colour and of lax growth ; the fertile hyphae 

 gradually develop long strings of cube-like conidia. 



On the following day, after a morning's work in examining 

 specimens, the afternoon was spent in exploring the woods at 

 Escrick. Fewer fungi of interest were found here than on the 

 previous day, the larger fungi especially being represented 

 mainly by common species. Among the smaller forms, however, 

 a few rare species were obtained. Miss A. Lorrain Smith 

 collected for the first time in Britain Hypochmis umhrinus], 

 one of the darkest of the species of Hypochnus, and noteworthy 

 for its very compact hymenium. Some fine specimens of Penio- 

 pJiora aurantiaca and of Pistillaria quisquiliaris occurred, and 

 Dr. Bayliss Elliott afterwards reported having found Urccolella 

 puherula growing on larch, an unusual host. Among micro- 

 fungi the best find was Arthroderma Curreyi Berk., the minute 

 golden-yellow fluffy perithecia of which grew in abundance on 

 vegetable debris ; it is an interesting and very rare fungus. 

 Mcnispora ciliata, with its very distinctive spores, ciliate at 

 each end, formed a felt of brown hyphae on the bark of a decaying 

 branch. With it was associated Dactylella cUipsospora; the 

 long slender conidiophores with a somewhat massive spore 

 swaying to and fro with any current of air were easily visible 

 with a hand lens. Morticrella candelabrum also appeared on 

 the same branch. Botrytis argillacea, another unusual mould, 

 formed a dense, dull brownish felt on dead bark; the stoutish 

 short branches are subverticillate, and terminate in a knob 

 covered with small projections on which the spores are borne. 



On Wednesday the party took the 12.35 p.m. train to Garforth, 

 where they were met by the Rev. R. H. Harvey, who acted 

 as leader. The programme was to visit Parlington Park and 

 Lotherton, by permission of Col. Gascoigne, but as so much 

 of interest was found there was not time to visit the latter place. 

 This was by far the best day of the week both for the numbers 

 and interest of the fungi found. Lepiota castanea with its 

 curious "projectile-shaped" spores, Tricholoma immundum,
