BOTANY 



a large cauliflower. It is by no means common in the county, but has 

 been several times met with at Lavington and Harting. 



In the following abbreviated list I mention most of the wholesome 

 species which occur in the county, and such only of the larger kinds as 

 are in other respects noteworthy. The indication of precise localities is 

 generally to be avoided, since fungi are in their places of growth both 

 evanescent and capricious. 



The list is arranged according to Cooke's Handbook of British Fungi.
