FUNGI 



The Leicestershire Flora of 1886 contains 445 numbered species of fungi, of these 299 are 

 Hymenomycetes, 14 are Gastromycetes, 74 are Ascomycetes, the remaining 58 belong to Uredineae, 

 Ustilagineae, Phycomycetes, Hyphomycetes, 10 and the class Mycetozoa. The Rev. A. Bloxam con- 

 tributed almost all the records, chiefly from the immediate neighbourhood of Twycross ; n when the other 

 parts of the county have been worked the list will be enlarged considerably, especially in the Uredineae 

 and Ustilagineae. Some very rare Hymenomycetes and Discomycetes were found by Mr. Bloxam 

 as follows . Cypella Bloxami, Merulius serpens, Polystictus hirsutus, Hydnum argutum, Phlebia radiata, 

 Nolanea Babingtonii, Mollisia micrometra, Lachnella Berkeleii, and Phacidium Rut! at Twycross. 

 Calloria auricolor, Dermatea livida, Patellaria livida, and P. pallida at Gopsall ; most of these and 

 the following are still believed to be very rare fungi : Geaster mammosus, G. rufescens (Berkeley), 

 G. hygrometricus (Rev. Churchill Babington), Clavaria contorta, Grace Dieu (Mott), C.rosea (Babing- 

 ton), Psilopezia Babingtonii, Grace Dieu Wood (Babington), and Merulius pollens. A few of these 

 have been found in other places since Bloxam's time. There are some additions to the 1886 list.

11 The less common are contained in Berkeley's OutRnet and supplement and Cooke's Handbook, the 

 more uncommon ones, followed by Bloxam's name, rest solely on his authority.
