‘Crossland: Mycological Meeting at Sandsend. 25 
branous, striate above; gills free, greyish pink then bay brown ; 
flesh white, becoming purplish, then brownish when broken ; 
spores subglobose, 8p.’ 
Hab. In pasture, Cullingworth, near Keighley, September, 
1g12, Thos. Hebden. In this specimen the spores were rather 
pale, subglobose with an oblique apiculus, 7-9». Figs. 12-14. 
The remaining new British things gathered at Mulgrave 
are:—Mycena simillima Karst., Mycena_ chlorantha Fr., 
Panus farinaceus Schum., Type, Tomentella ferruginea Schroet., 
Corticium confine Bourd., Diaporthe (Tetrastaga) insignis 
Fckl., Melanomma (Trematosphaeria) paradoxa Winter, de- 
scriptions of all of which will be given in the next article on 
“Recently discovered Fungi in Yorkshire, VI.’ which we 
hope will appear next March or April. The two last were found 
at the Spring meeting. 
A five days’ visit by the Committee, including Mr. and Miss 
Massee, was-made May 18th—23rd. On account of its being 
the height of the game breeding season we could only enter 
the Woods Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday three of the 
days open to the general public, and then, of necessity, we 
confined ourselves pretty well to footpaths. There is a bit of 
good ground outside the lodge gates in East Row we investigated 
fairly well. The gathering of fallen twigs, bits of dead 
branches, and chips, in the search for pyrenomytes and other 
microscopic fungi, was one of our chief aims. 
A comparison of the Spring and Autumn additions will show 
that the former are principally composed of Uredines, Pyre- 
nomycetes, and other micro-species, making the fact very 
evident that a Spring meeting is absolutely necessary if we are 
to get a clear ‘all round’ knowledge of the mycological flora. 
Agarics and other large fungi are almost entirely absent during 
the earlier months of the year, while December to April are the 
best for Pyrenomycetes, and May for Spring fungi generally. 
The occurrence of the lovely cream and scarlet fairy-cup— 
Geopyxis coccinea of early Spring, already recorded on the 
authority of the head woodman, was confirmed at the Autumn 
meeting by the finding of a premature specimen. 
The useful and suggestive paper on the Pyrenomycetes 
communicated by Sir H. C. Hawley was read by the Secretary. 
An abstract appears in the November issue, pp. 341-3. Sir 
Henry, who is specialising on this group, attended the spring 
meeting and gathered material that yielded 41 species of this 
class, 16 of which proved to be additions to previous Mulgrave 
records, six being new to Yorkshire, and two to Britain. 
Further additions were made in autumn, for which see list. 
Eleven species of Clavaria were brought in; all being 
forwarded to Mr. A. D. Cotton, Kew, for special examination.
