NORWICH FORAY. 

 June 2nd to $th, 1922. 



The Spring Foray was held during the \Miit5iintide hoUda\^, 

 ^^-ith headquarters at Xon\-ich. On the Friday evening about 

 fifteen members assembled at the Norwich Musevmi, in the old 

 Castle bmlding. and were welcomed by the Curator, Mr Howard, 

 and members of the Museum Committee. Interesting features 

 of the building were pointed out, and the evening ended with 

 a climb on the battlements from which a magnificent \iew of 

 Norwich and the country- round was obtained. 



During the week-end the weather was dr\^ and for the most 

 part hot, as it had been for some time pre\-iously. Consequently 

 the har\-est of fungi was unusually small, even for a spring foray. 



On Saturdav, June 3rd, a dehghtful excursion on the Broads 

 had been planned through the generosity of Mr Adcock, who 

 placed his houseboat at the disposal of the party. Starting from 

 Wroxham, the boat was towed by a small motor-boat as far as

 belonging to Sir Bartle Frere were worked. Here the only find 

 of note however was a large partial ring of the Giant Puff Ball, 

 Lxcoperdon gigatiteum. Two huge specimens were secured for 

 exhibition, and pro\ided some merriment on the homeward 

 journey. 



Mr Adcock entertained the members to "high tea" at 

 Homing Ferrv Inn, after which a most enjoyable day finished 

 with the boat trip homewards by w-ay of Wroxham Broad. 



Sunday morning was free, and many members took the 

 opportunitv of being shown over the Museum by the Curator. 



In the afternoon a tram was taken out to Trowse. and a raid 

 was made on groimds belonging to Mr and Mrs Cohnan, b}'' 

 whom the party were entertained to tea. A small gathering 

 of Hvponivces aureo-nitens was secured in the woods, and in 

 the garden of Mrs Colman's house Mr A. Adcock detected some 

 lilies attacked by Uromyces Lilii. 



In the evening Mr Adcock kindlv allowed some of the members 

 to inspect his tomato houses, with the result that several species
