RECENTLY DISCOVERED FUNGI IN YORKSHIRE. 
C. CROSSLAND, 
Halifax. 
Tue following is the fourth summary of additions made to known 
Yorkshire Fungi since 1905. With two or three exceptions, 
these have been discovered during 1909-10. Nearly all have 
been temporarily recorded in ‘The Naturalist,’ under the 
reports of the two annual forays, and the general excursions ; 
it is, however, thought advisable to bring them together 1 in one 
article. ‘Under each one the date of its first mention in ‘ The 
Naturalist,’ and the number it should follow, or precede in 
the ‘ Yorkshire Fungus Flora,’ is given. They consist of 
two new to science, ten and one var. new to Britain, and fifty- 
six and three vars. new to the county. These bring the 
total number of known Yorkshire species to 2831, or an addi- 
tion of 205 during the last five years. 
Confirmations of a doubtful and a solitary record are added.

mycologists during the last five years, including Mulgrave 
Woods, at the 1908 and 1910 forays. Specimens from the 
several localities were submitted to Mr. Cotton, who considered 
it an undescribed species. [To follow No. 1232].
