RECENTLY DISCOVERED FUNGI IN YORKSHIRE. 



C. CROSSLAND, F.L.S. 



The following is the third supplementary list of Fungi dis- 

 covered in Yorkshire since the issue of the ' Yorkshire Fungus 

 Flora.' It comprises one species new to science, six new to 

 Britain, and nearly fifty species and two var. new to Yorkshire. 

 These bring the total of known Yorkshire Fungi, as we under- 

 stand them at present, to 2763. There are two confirmations 

 of hitherto solitary records, and several newly-discovered 

 (in Yorkshire) hosts attacked by parasitic fungi. Short des- 

 criptions of each of the six new British species are added. 

 The numbers given under each, to follow or precede, are those 

 of the species, as arranged in the ' Yorkshire Fungus Flora.'
