342 CROSSLAND: FUNGUS FORAY AT BARNSLEY. 
fungus, was in great profusion. Fine chunks of the liver fungus - 
(Mistulina hepatica) were a feature about Stainborough. A _ pink- 
spored agaric made out to be Lxtoloma angustum Fr., new to 
Britain, was collected on this excursion. 
The places laid out for Monday were Savin Royd Wood, Woolley 
Park, and Notton Park Wood. The former turned out to be rather 
dry, with much grass and bracken, and what species were collected 
were on fallen branches buried beneath these. Lenzites detulina, a 
species not met with every day, was found on a stump in this wood. 
Woolley Park, like all other grass lands so far this season, was wholly 
unproductive, there being quite a dearth of pasture loving species, 
such as Entoloma, Leptonia, Hygrophorus, etc. ; not even a Pestza, or 
a Pilobolus on cattle droppings, was to be seen. A few things of special 
note were come across in Notton Park Wood 3; amongst them being 
Amanita adnata and Clitocybe subdecastes. Panus farinaceus Schm. 
var. albidotomentosus (Cooke & Massee) was found in fair quantity 
on a fallen trun In a swamp near Royston, Mr. Needham 
picked up a rather rare Peziza, Lachnea erinacea Schm. 
Altogether 201 species, 48 being minute, were collected. Con- 
sidering the somewhat dry season, this number was as large as could 
be expected. Though less in quantity than at previous Yorkshire 
forays, many species were found here that were absent from the others: 
The evenings were spent in laying out the specimens, and in 
identifying such as could not be named in the field at sight. A 
microscope was provided by the local society. The exhibits were 
arranged in their proper order on tables in the body of the lecture 
hall, the genera being denoted by large printed labels prepared by 
Mr. Clarke. The specific names, with other particulars, such as 
‘edible’ or ‘poisonous’ were written on slips of paper. r. Clarke 
exhibited a large number of ‘finely prepared unique stereoscopic 
photographs of fungi.

It was decided to recommend to the General Committee that 
next year’s (1898) foray be in the neighbourhood of Leeds.
