Yorkshire Mycologists at Buckden.

•only now first recorded for Yorkshire, proved anything but 

 rare hereabouts, and the rich colouring of these specimens 

 was much admired. Dr. Wager mentioned that he had ob- 

 served this species many times in this district during the past 

 two or three years. 



The chief work at the tables was undertaken by Messrs. 

 Massee and Clarke. Specimens of resupinate fungi were for- 

 warded to Miss E. M. Wakefield, F.L.S., of Kew, who kindly 

 undertook to deal with this rather difficult group. Her list 

 includes 17 species, of which two Odontia farinacea (Pers.) 

 •Quel., and Tomentella fusca (Pers.) are first British records. 



Mr. Cheesman, as usual, dealt with the Mycetozoa, and 

 writes as follows respecting them : — ' It is somewhat remark- 

 able that, although the specimens were " few an' far between," 

 the total number recorded is larger than that of any previous 

 foray. This large number may be accounted for by the 

 dissimilar working grounds, and the varied nature of tree and 

 plant life in the district. 



The most noteworthy species are Physarum straminipes 

 Lister (second Yorks. record), a newly-made but distinct 

 species with straw-coloured stalks and cross-like markings on 

 the spores. Mucilago spongiosa Morgan was found on the 

 bleak, wind-swept hill top, and had crept nine to twelve inches 

 up the grass stems before completing its life cycle, and Bad- 

 hamia utricularis which covered a fallen ash trunk many square 

 feet in area, with its unbroken sporangia, like miniature bunches 

 of grapes. No new county record is made, but those marked * 

 are new to Mid West Yorks.'
