Fungi present a wide field to the botanist^ and the West 

 i-E-iding seems more favourable to them than to some of the other 

 cryptogamic orders, but only 39 species out of the 2809 found in 

 Britain have been recorded at our meetings. The smallness of 

 this proportion is due partly to the fact that the summer, when 

 .our excursions are held, is not the most favourable time of the 

 year for fungi; partly to the perishable nature of the larger fleshy 

 kinds, which if not made out at the time of gathering can scarcely 

 be determined afterwards; and partly to the inconspicuousness 

 of the minute kinds, which escape notice unless specially looked 

 for. Most of the fungi were of common kinds, but among them 

 the following may be mentioned : — 



Agaricus (Entoloma) clypeatus, L. Wetherby 

 Ag. (Tricholoma) rutilans, ScJuvff. Norland Moor 

 Agaricus (Hebeloma) rimosus, Bull Norland Moor 



Agaricus (Galera) tener, Schceff.
