The Fungus Flora of the Mulgrave District. 61 
the week, we might fill up the time by going to Arncliffe, 
but it was soon found there would be no need for this. During 
the five days 422 species and four varieties were collected and 
determined. For the Report and List see The Naturalist. 
1900, pp. 337-346. Two species were new to the European 
Fungus Flora and two others to the British Flora. Many were 
additions to Yorkshire. Three hundred and fifty-six were 
new records for Mulgrave, making 458. A few notable features 
may be given. There were thirteen species of Clavaria, forty- 
nine Discomycetes, thirteen Hyphomycetes, and sixteen Myxo- 
mycetes. There was the rare Diplocarpa Curreyana, Craterellus 
cornucopioid.es — fine specimens and plenty of them — and the 
peculiar little agaric Marasmius Hudsoni, which grows on dead 
holly-leaves. After all this, and very much more, where is 
the mycologist who would not want to pay another visit at 
the first opportunity ? It must be admitted the season was 
an exceptionally good one for fungi — short heavy rains alter- 
nating with spells of heat. 
The Annual Foray in 1902 was held at Egton Bridge for 
Arncliffe. Our favourite locality being so near, we could not 
resist the opportunity of a visit. Quite a number of species 
was noticed, but only those not previously recorded for 
Mulgrave Woods were included in the joint list and marked 
‘ M.’ The tw T enty-eight new records included a fifth Helvetia — 
H. ephippium — and several other uncommon species. (See 
The Naturalist, 1902, pp. 355-6.) 
After 1902 five years elapsed before we ventured to again 
propose Mulgrave. In 1903 we were at Helmsley, 1904 Rokeby, 
1905 Maltby, 1906 Farnley Tyas, 1907 Grassington, Bolton 
Woods, and Buckden. At the last four places we sadly missed 
our chief, who had not been with us. At the Grassington 
Foray we decided to hold out a temptation to him for the 
following season which we thought would be irresistible. The 
temptation was Mulgrave Woods, with Nineteenlands Farm 
as headquarters, and it succeeded. The Union obtained Lord 
Xormanby’s permission to investigate the woods in Sep- 
tember, 1908, but when the time came round it was found the 
farm had changed its tenant, and the then occupier did not 
receive visitors. The disappointment was, however, somewhat 
relieved on finding our former hostess, Mrs. Kidd, of Nineteen- 
lands, kept a boarding-house at Sandsend where we could be 
accommodated. Certainly we were a little further away from 
the best ground, but even then no drives were necessary, at 
each end of the day, to reach it and return. Moreover, there 
was an advantage at Sandsend in being able to obtain the use 
of the schoolrooms which have since served us so well as 
general meeting and workrooms. For the use of these we have 
often had reason to feel sincerely grateful to the Vicar of Lythe.
