 FUNGI OF BOWES. 



THOMAS GIUBS. 



On the Bowes excursion the Yorkshire Mycological Com- 

 mittee was represented by Messrs. Uriah Bairstow and J. 

 Williams Sutcliflfe, Halifax, and the writer. The Secretary, 

 Mr. C. Crossland, F.L.S., was unfortunately unable to be 

 present, but rendered valuable assistance as referee, all 

 specimens about which there was any doubt being submitted 

 to him to report on. Mr. R. H. Philip, of Hull, also contributed 

 notes of Urfdinece observed, and other members of the party 

 assisted as collectors. The routes followed were two, the first 

 above Bowes, through the rocky gorge of the Sleightholme 

 Beck ; the other by the banks of the Greta below Bowes, past 

 Rutherford Bridge, and ending in the dense woodlands of 

 Brignall Banks. Both routes proved fairly productive, nearly 

 eighty species being observed. Although too early in the year 

 to expect much from the fields and open ground, a pasture 

 on the beck side below the Sleightholme gorge yielded several 

 interesting Agarics, prominent among these being the pink-spored 

 genera Entoloma, Leptonia, and Nolania. Another feature of the 

 excursion was the number of species of Myxomycetes noticed, 

 these including Clathroptychium rugulosum Rost ( = Dictydia- 

 tJmlium pliimbetim of Lister's Monograph), a somewhat uncom- 

 mon species of great morphological interest. On Brignall Banks 

 a rotting branch was seen clothed with miniature forests of 

 CeratiotJiyxa niucida Schrcet., its delicate glassy or coral-like 

 branches forming a lovely object under a pocket lens. The most 

 interesting Agaric seen was the edible Lactariiis deliciosus Fr. , 

 easily recognised by its deep orange milk, which soon turns
