TO THE 



GUIDE TO THE FUNGI AND MYCETOZOA OF THE 

 NEW FOREST. 



By J. F. Rayner, F.R.H.S., 

 Member of the British Mycological Society. 



rpHIS Supplement enumerates 216 Fungi and 10 Mycetozoa, 

 additional to those of the " Guide," published in 1911, bringing 

 the total Forest list up to 909 Fungi and 60 Mycetozoa. Of the 

 present additions no fewer than 164 Fungi and 9 Mycetozoa were 

 recorded during the second visit of the British Mycological Society, 

 which took place in the autumn of last year, 25-30 September, 

 1916, when a total list of upwards of 500 Fungi and 15 Mycetozoa 

 was compiled. The remainder are due to local work. A large 

 proportion of the new records are species of great interest, being 

 rare — three new to Britain — or only recently distinguished. For 

 definitions of some of these I am indebted to Miss A. Lorrain 

 Smith, F.L.S., President, Mr. Carleton Rea, B.C.L., M.A., 

 Hon. Secretary of the Society, and Miss E. M. Wakefield, 

 F.L.S., of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. I have also to thank 

 Mr. W. J. Lucas, B.A., for help in tracing derivations of names. 



Precise localities for the species taken during the Society's 

 foray were not noted, but only the general direction of the daily 

 excursions from Lyndhurst, in the course of which they were found. 



These are denoted by initials, viz. : — 



B. = Brockenhurst, including Park Ground Inclosure. 



C. = Christchurch, including Lyndhurst Hill to Mark Ash. 

 E. = Emery Down. 



L. = Lyndhurst Road Station, including White Moor, Rushpole 



Wood, and Busketfs. 

 M. = Minstead. 

 R. = North of Racecourse.
