A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE 



Three other Hymenomycetes in the same periodical, and twenty miscellaneous species, belonging to 

 various groups and orders, constitute the records. There may be old records, and some in local 

 societies' publications, unknown to us. A well organized mycological society is much needed in the 

 county, having members residing in all the vice-counties. However energetic the student may be 

 he cannot alone investigate more than a small portion of a county the size of Lancashire, even if 

 he gave all his leisure hours to the study of its fungi. It does not seem desirable to enumerate 

 the recorded species of fungi, but the references are given below.

The vertical range in Lancashire of some more or less well-known Agaricacese may be of 

 interest, as they have not previously been recorded for the county. The observations were made in 

 the middle of the autumn of 1 903 by the writer of this article. In other parts of the county some 

 of these fungi, now recorded for the agrarian zone of Watson, may be found just within the 

 Inferarctic zone, that is, where the land rises to that height.
