FUNGI 



The first, and until very lately the only list of Suffolk fungi, is that contained in 

 Henslow and Skcpper's Suffolk Flora. It is a good and extensive one, and is mostly due to 

 Mr. Skepper, who for several years collected very diligently, especially in 1856, about Bury, 

 and was very considerably assisted by the Rev. M.J. Berkeley, at that time our great authority 

 on fungi. After the publication of his Flora of Suffolk in 1889, Dr. Hind paid much 

 attention to the larger fungi, thus adding materially to the list of species ; many of his 

 specimens were determined or confirmed for him by Mr. G. Worthington Smith, and a few 

 by Dr. Cooke. We are also indebted for records of some of the rarer species to Dr. Badham, 

 author of the Esculent Funguses of England, who resided at East Bergholt, in this county. A 

 list of the species thus far recognized in Suffolk is given by the Rev. E. N. Bloomfield 

 in the Transactions of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists' Society (1905-6), viii, 246-64. 



Although the fungi are of small economic importance as articles of food, yet on the 

 other hand they are often very destructive in various ways. The only species usually eaten 

 in this country are the common and horse mushrooms, Agaricus campestris and arvensis, which 

 are both wholesome and much esteemed. The morel and truffle are well known and appre- 

 ciated, but are scarce. 



Many other species are esteemed on the Continent, such as the Fairy-ring Cham- 

 pignon, the Cantharelle, &c., but are seldom tasted in this country. Many species are very 

 poisonous, even a small piece producing very severe illness or even death. Some of the 

 larger species are very destructive to trees and timber, while many of the small kinds are well- 

 known pests, such as the potato blight, the corn mildew, hop mildew, smut and bunt in corn, &c.
