FUNGI OBSERVED ON THE OCCASION OF THE 
SOCIETY’S EXCURSION TO SCOULTON MERE 
ON JUNE 23rd, 1875. 
By Chas. B. Plowright. 
Read 29th June, 1875 . 
During the excursion of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists’ 
Society, on Wednesday, June 23rd, 1875, to Scoulton Mere, 
although some fifty ladies and gentlemen, members and friends, 
took part in it, there was present, I believe, only one individual of 
mycological propensities. This is much to be regretted, especially * 
as the district in which the Society works is one admirably 
adapted for this branch of field work, and it is, moreover, one 
rendered classical by Sowerby, who made more than one excur- 
sion to Norwich before publishing his standard work. It is 
needless to say anything about the interest per se of mycology, 
save only that it is a subject which can be worked at all seasons 
of the year, and one to which men of science look for the solution 
of more than one problem of vital interest to the community. 
The total number of fungi met with upon this occasion was not 
large, but this arises not so much from any paucity of fungal 
forms as from a sparsencss of searchers : only one pair of eyes 
was engaged in investigation, every inch of the county being 
now to the observer. Other objects than fungi were gazed at ; of 
course the mere, the island, the gulls, the flowering plants, and a
