Fungus Foray at Castle Howard. 
Among the Agaricaceae the genus Amanita was here well 
represented, the poisonous Amanita phalloides and A. mappa 
being particularly numerous. Leptonia incana, a pretty little 
pink-spored Agaric with a green stem, was found in fair good 
numbers on roadside grass between Coneysthorpe and Terring- 
ton. Dr. Wager has made a special study of this fungus, 
and its discovery was hailed with pleasure. 
A gratifying feature of this meeting was that addresses 
were delivered on each evening of the meeting : Dr. Wager 
lectured on ‘ The Philosophy of Mycology ’ ; Mr. C. N. 
Cheesman described Schizophyllum commune, a rare agaric 
collected during the Worcester Foray of the British Mycological 
Society ; Mr. Mason gave ‘ Some Notes on the Genus Peni- 
cillium ’ ; and Mr. Peck, taking the specimens of fungi 
collected during the foray, made them the subject of a talk on 
The Study of the Fungi.’
