RECENTLY DISCOVERED FUNGI IN 
YORKSHIRE—VIII. 
C. CROSSLAND, 
Halifax. 
Tue following is the eighth supplementary list of additions 
to our knowledge of fungi found in Yorkshire since 1905. It 
enumerates 51 species, all, with three exceptions, discovered 
during 1914. Four are new to the British flora. Upwards of 
half are the produce of Mulgrave Woods. The remainder 
were found in various parts of the country, notably Hawkswick, 
Buckden, Grassington, etc., by the present chairman of the 
mycological committee, Mr. Harold Wager. Others were met 
with at the ordinary Union excursions, particularly Filey (The 
Naturalist, 1914, p. 253), and Eskdale (loc. cit., pp. 319-322). 
Many have been temporarily entered in The Naturalist, 
but several have not, hence it is considered advisable to include 
all the year’s discoveries in one article for the convenience of 
future mycological students. The words, ‘ To precede,’ and 
“To follow,’ accompanied by figures enclosed in brackets, 
indicate the sequence of the species as followed in the Yorkshire 
Fungus Flora. 
At the close of 1914 the known fungus flora of the county 
numbered 3051. 
There are two corrections necessary. (See below). 
Five additions to host-plants were recorded for the county 
during the year.
