246 REV. E. N. BLOOMFIELD ON SUFFOLK FUNGI. 
VIII. 
SUFFOLK FUNGI. 
By Rev. E. N. Bloomfield, M.A. 
Read 2 jth February, 1906. 
As I have already published lists of the Mosses, Hepatics, and 
Lichens of Suffolk, I think it may not be amiss to give also 
a list of the Fungi. 
Thus far the only list of the Fungi of the county is contained 
in Henslow and Skepper’s ‘ Flora of Suffolk,’ which is good 
and for the most part perfectly reliable. This list is almost 
entirely due to Mr. Skepper, who for several years collected 
diligently about Bury, and was assisted very materially by 
the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, at that time our great authority 
on the Fungi. To show how assiduously Mr. Skepper collected, 
especially in 1856, I in many cases give the dates from the 
notes in his copy of the sixth volume of the ‘ English Flora.’ 
The records from the East of the County are mostly from 
Mr. Stock of Bungay, and from myself, as I then resided at 
Great Glemham. Some of the latter records I have reason to 
believe are doubtful or incorrect, these, therefore, I shall 
omit. In later years, Dr. Hind, the author of the ‘ Flora of 
Suffolk,’ 1889, collected a good number of the larger species, 
many of which were determined for him by Mr. Worthington 
Smith, and a few by Dr. Cooke. To many of the species which 
were thus determined I add their names as a guarantee of 
correct determination. 
For records of some of the rarer species we are indebted 
to Dr. Badham, the author of the ‘ Esculent Funguses of 
England,’ who resided at East Bergholt ; these records are for 
the most part contained in the papers of the Rev. M. J. 
Berkeley, in the ‘ Annals of Natural History.’
