MycolOgical Committees.— Mr. C. Crossland reports:— 
Mycological work has again been steadily pursued throughout 
the year. The results have been most satisfactory, and have, 
from time to time, been published in the "Naturalist." The paper 
on the "Fungus Flora of a Cast-out Hearthrug," by Mr. Need- 
ham and myself, read at the Rokeby Foray, was printed in the 
Dec, 1904, issue. Mr. Hollands' paper (III.) on "Economic 
Fungi," read at the same foray, appeared in March and April, 1905. 
In the May number Mr. Gibbs recorded one new Yorkshire and 
one new British species. The June number contained notes on 
three new Yorkshire species, by Mr. W. N. Cheesman ; on one 
new to North East Yorkshire, by Mr. W. Ingham ; and on two 
new to Britain found at Masham, by Mr. W. A. Thwaites. A 
note on a new Yorkshire mould appeared in August. 
The writer has attended four of the Union excursions. At 
Pocklington, Heheloma suhsaponaceiiiii Karst., new to Britain, was 
found, and at Cudworth a CantharellnSy not yet determined. 
The Annual Fungus Foray, held this year in the Roche Abbey 
district, was in every way a decided success ; a full report appears 
in the "Naturalist" for Nov. and Dec. The list of species found 
is held over for the "Transactions." Mr. Holland's fourth paper 
on "Economic Fungi" was read at this meeting, concluding a 
most valuable series on that side of the subject. 
Everywhere there has been a most prolific crop of fungi 
this season : they have been abundant both in field and woodland. 
While out near Huddersfield with Mr. A. Clarke in Sept., an old 
woodside pasture, of about two acres, was overhauled, and yielded 
110 less than thirty species. Many uncommon things have been 
met with by individual effort ; in Oct. Mr. Thos. Hebden found 
Pholiota heteroclita near Wilsden, and the remarkable Cortinarius 
triumphans near Cullingworth ; and Mr. Warnes Hypholoma 
leticotephriun near Withernsea, all new Yorkshire species. Several 
others have been found, and are being published in the "Natu- 
ralist. " 
During the year the "Yorkshire Fungus Flora" has been 
issued, the publication of which has established a foundation 
whereon further research in the same direction can be based.
