YORKSHIRE NATURALISTS AT FLAMBOROUGH. 



(plate XX.) 

 [Continued from page 248.) 



Fungi. — Mr. C. Crossland, F.L.S., reports : — Several of the 

 members, including Messrs. Jones, York; Philip, Hull ; Jackson, 

 Goole; Woods, Bainton ; Cheesman, Selby ; and liooth, Halifax, 

 interested themselves in the mycology of the respective areas 

 they visited, and handed on the specimens they collected to the 

 secretary of the Mycological Section. Among them was 

 Stropharia cojvnilla, a new East Riding record, and five or six 

 others, once only previously recorded for this division of the 

 county. St. George's Mushroom — Tricholoma gambosum — turned 

 up in pastures at Bessingby, Speeton, Bempton, and Flam- 

 borough, as it did at Filey on the excursion held about the same 

 date, 1903 ('Naturalist,' July, 1903, its first record for East 

 Riding). Entolonia anieides is not at all of common occurrence, 

 its only other Yorkshire records are Arncliff'e, 1894, and Hornsea 

 Mere side, 1903 (Yorks. Fungus Flora). It will be noted in 

 the following list that all four Myxomycetes were gathered in 

 Danes' Dyke ; Trichia affinis is a remarkably fine species, and 

 not very common. One scarcely expected to see ' Jevvs'-ear ' 

 fungus brought in, but so it was, being spotted on a living elder 

 bush in a ravine near Speeton by one of our oldest active 

 Yorkshire mycologists. A full list of the species collected is 

 given below in the hope that it may prove useful at some future 

 date to students interested in distribution problems. 



Locality, and host or habitat, are given in all cases. For
