FUNGUS FORAYS, 1887. 
On account of the dryness of the summer and autumn the Foray 
of the Essex Field Club was postponed from the 1st of October 
until the end of the month. A visit to Epping Forest on the 1st 
fully justified this decision, for not more than seven or eight 
common species could be found. 
Woolhope Field Club.— On Monday, October 3rd, some of 
the usual visitors reached Speech House, Forest of Dean, where 
they were met on the following morning by a contingent of some 
twenty-three persons from Hereford. Many of the old faces were 
present, and the route taken to Five Beeches was fairly successful. 
Fungi were nowhere plentiful, but the locality was new, the 
weather was fine, and the scenery delightful. After dining 
together at Speech House, some of the party returned to Here- 
ford, whilst others remained for the following day. The evening 
was fully occupied with an examination of the spoils of the day. 
Wednesday, 5th October, was even more successful than the pre- 
vious day, the route selected being Park End, which was a damper 
side of the Forest, and was certainly the best spot of any which we 
have had the fortune to visit during the present year. Of the 
new or interesting species found during the two days’ excursions, 
may be named the ringless form of Cortinarius biformis , Fr., a 
singular Cortinarius much resembling an Inocybe ; a new species 
of Cortinarius which has been named C. bicolor ; a very foetid 
Hebeloma with broad gills, described in the present number as Ag.
