Mycetozoa found during the Worcester Foray. G. Lister 9 
Physarum nutans in perfect condition was in great profusion 
almost everywhere on dead wood. Sept. 23rd Trench Woods, 
consisting of hazel, some ash, alder and a few scattered oaks, 
proved to be dry. Among the thirteen species of Mycetozoa 
obtained were our only gatherings of Didymiwm squamulosum. 
The following is a list of the species recorded, with their 
distribution in the woods visited.

It may be noted that Diachaea subsessilis Peck, first recorded 
for Worcestershire by Mr E. Brazier, who gathered it near 
Stourbridge in November 1920, was obtained about the same 
time in Wyre Forest by Dr W. T. Elliott; this specimen is 
without any lime deposits, and was so inconspicuous that it 
was unnoticed for some months after gathering.
