The above is certainly not a list to be despised for a single 
locality, during four days, of which, of course, some were rainy. 
We cannot report so well of other genera, and know little of 
interest to be recorded. 
The Hackney Microscopical and Natural History Society made 
a successful Saturday afternoon excursion on the Chingford side 
of Epping Forest on the 13th of October. A record was kept of up- 
wards of 100 species of Hymenomycetes seen and determined, many 
of which of course were common species. Amongst the rarities 
was a very peculiar variety of Boletus, somewhat intermediate be- 
tween B. granulosus and B. hovinus, and scarcely referable to either, 
which has been called B. granulatus, var. tenuipes. Besides this 
was Ag. {Pleurotus) corticatus, Ag. (^Pholiota) terrigenus, and Ag. 
(^Amanita) spissus. Several specimens of Ag. {Clitocybe') cerussatus 
were found, and proving agreeable to the taste whilst raw, were 
cooked and eaten, thus adding another, and an excellent one, to 
the list of edible species. 
The Hertfordshire Natural History Society held their annual 
Cryptogamic meeting at Watford on Saturday, the 27th October, 
when a considerable number of species were added to the county 
list of Fungi, the complaint of the residents being that there were 
“ fewer fungi in the woods this year than for many preceding
