INTRODUCTION. 



After the records of fourteen successive annual Fungus 

 Forays within the county, added to those previously and 

 contemporaneously made, it has been considered advisable 

 to summarise the results in the form of an annotated list 

 of known Yorkshire species. 



In addition to the work accomplished at the Fungus Forays 

 and the Field Meetings of the Union, a considerable amount 

 of independent collecting and recording has been done by 

 individual members. In this connection James Needham 

 stands out pre-eminently, he having worked continuously 

 for the past seventeen years in the neighbourhood of Hebden 

 Bridge. The following districts have also been more or less 

 investigated : — 



Liversedge, including Coxley Valley, by Rev. W. Fowler, 

 M.A. 



Goole, by H. F. Parsons, M.D., and Thos. Birks. 



Selby, by W. N. Cheesman, F.L.S. 



Bradford, Airedale, Wharfedale, etc., by W. West, F.L.S., 

 and the late H. T. Soppitt. 



East Yorks., by W. W. Strickland (' Nat.', June & July '89). 



Huddersfield, etc., by Alfred Clarke. 



Goitstock Woods, etc., near Cullingworth, by Thos. Hebden. 



Langstrothdale, by Rev. C. H. B. Woodd, B.A. ('Nat.' 

 May 1891). 



Swinton and Masham, by W, A. Thwaites, of Masham. 



Sheffield district, by Thos. Gibbs. 



Scarborough ; Bulmer ; and Castle Howard, by G. Massee. 



Halifax and Hebden Bridge districts, by C. Crossland and 

 James Needham. 



In order to avoid constant repetition of names and districts 

 and their investigators, it may be here stated that they stand 

 connected throughout the list. If a record be from some 

 other source, the name or initials of the authority is given in 

 brackets.
