24 Crossland : Fungus Flora of Mulgrave Woods. 



history of fungi that may have two or even three conditions. 

 As these become better known throughout the county, a 

 reduction in the numbers of previously supposed species will 

 be necessary to get at a more accurate census of the fungi of 

 the county. 



The weather was all that could be desired for collecting 

 purposes ; rain began to fall on Tuesday morning, but soon 

 cleared off. Several species of special interest were met with, 

 one being Bolbitius Boltoni Fr., about which some uncertainty 

 has been expressed as to whether it was a native of Britain 

 (Mass. ' Brit. Fung. Flo.,' II., p. 205). It is quite distinct from 

 B. flavidus in the depressed, darker disc and subadnate gills. 



Sandsend proved a most suitable place for headquarters, 

 being close to the ground to be investigated. The school-rooms 

 were ideal places for general work and exhibit-rooms. An 

 easily obtainable sea-side saunter afforded a charming break 

 in the work for those who had the time and the inclination 

 to indulge in this delightful and invigorating pastime. With us 

 these were few ; the woods and the work-room having the 

 preference. A few, including Messrs. Massee and Clarke, were 

 so absorbed in working out material brought in, that they did 

 not get even into the woods. 



At the business meeting on the Wednesday evening, a vote 

 of thanks was heartily passed to Lord Normandy for leave to 

 explore the estates, and to Vicar Harland, for allowing us the 

 use of the school-rooms. 



The Committee for the current year was re-elected. Castle 

 Howard is recommended to the Union as the place for the 

 next foray — September i8th-23rd, 1909.
