MASSEE: FUNGUS FORAY AT CASTLE HOWARD. 357 
white-spored Agarics were rare, many genera that are usually 
common being altogether absent, or represented by one or two 
unusual species. 
Among the rarities may be mentioned Znocybe adequata Britz., a 
large and beautiful species new to Britain, and only previously found 
in Bavaria. Boletus porphyrosporus Fries, brought from near Halifax 
by Mr. Crossland, and from near Pickering by Mr. Chadwick, has 
only previously been found in Britain at Burnham Beeches. 
Psalliota elvensis B. & Br., a large and well-marked species, first 
found in North Wales, then in Dr. Cooke’s garden at Highgate ; 
occurred in abundance in Castle setibas Park. This species is 
edible, and much superior to the common mushroom (Psadliota 
campestris) in flavour. Clitocybe hella Fr., Cortinarius bolaris Fr., 
Tilletia rauwenhoffit Fisch. de W., found by Mr. Soppitt, were 
also rarities. 
For the list of species which follows we are indebted to 
Mr. A. Clarke, of Huddersfield, who has drawn it up, with the 
assistance of Mr. C. Crossland, of Halifax, and Mr. H. T. Soppitt, 
of Bradford.
