In October, 1872,'’^- 1 had the honour of submitting to the Society 
a list of Fungi, which had been recorded from various parts of the 
county. This list embraced upwards of eight hundred species. 
In the twelve years which have since then elapsed, very nearly 
seven hundred species have been found, new to the county. 
Many of these are of great interest and rarity, several not having 
occurred elsewhere in Britain. For instance, two magnificent 
species. Boletus sulphureus and Helvella infula have been found 
at Brandon, growing, both of them, upon sawdust. t Neither of 
these Fungi have as yet been met with elsewhere in England, 
nor in Great Britain, except at one station in the north of Scotland 
(Eothieraurchus). Boletus sulphureus was found some years ago 
by my friend the Eev. Dr. Keith, growing upon the immense heaps 
of saw dust at the last named place. A few years afterwards 
(November, 1876) I was fortunate in finding two or three 
specimens at Brandon. This circumstance, curious enough in 
itself, would hardly have made much impression upon my mind, 
had it not happened that in 1879 I visited Eothiemurchus, partly 
with the view of again gathering the Boletus, which had ceased 
to apjiear at Brandon. Dr. Keith, however, informed me that it 
had disappeared as completely from Eothiemurchus as it had done 
from Norfolk. During my excursions, however, I was rewarded
