FUNGUS FORAYS. 
jubatus , Ag. ( Hypholoma ) epixanthus , and capnoides ; Agr. 
(Mycena) leucogalus , A*/. ( Hebeloma ) testaceus , Cantharellus 
devexus , Hydnum gelatinosum , Cortinarius talus , and Boletus 
duriusculus. At an evening meeting, held at the Forest Hotel, 
the specimens were exhibited, and explained. Some remarks 
were made by the Chairman (Rev. W. L. W. Eyre) and M. C. 
Cooke, chiefly in reference to Edible and Poisonous species, and 
as to what steps should be taken to diffuse certain and useful 
knowledge amongst the rural population as to what to eat, and 
what to avoid ; the conclusion being that a few of the most 
approved species should be selected, to which popular verna- 
cular names should be given, and efforts should be made to 
facilitate the general determination of these species. A short 
excursion on Saturday morning brought the foray to a close.
