Crossland: Mycologists at Sandsend. 
13 
Hypholoma leucotephrum, with their white, silky-fibrous, ring- 
encircled stems, and whitish, subcampanulate, radially- 
wrinkled caps, was found beneath a Rhododendron bush near 
Sandsend and brought to the schoolroom by H. Stonehouse. 
one of Lord Normanby’s employees. This is not at all a 
common species, there being only one previous Yorkshire 
record. 
Owing to the season being later, a few more Boleti than 
usual were seen. Boletus piper at us being one of the additions 
to the district records. These are due July to early September. 
There were exceptions to the general scarcity. Quite a 
quantity of Mycena hcematopoda, with its bleeding leg, was 
noticed on rotting stumps. One remarkable feature was the 
large number of pink-spored agarics — certainly greater than 
has been met with in these woods on any previous occasion. 
There were no fewer than nine species of Entoloma — clypeatum, 
sinuatum. ameides. rhodopolium, speculum, etc. There was 
also Clitocybe carneoalbus. The genus Naucoria, of the brown- 
spored group, was also much in evidence, including amongst 
others — cerodes, pusiola, scolecina, erinacea. siparia. conpersa . 
and Weislandri — the latter new to Britain. 
The group Gastromycetes was poorly represented, as were 
also the genera Amanita , Lepiota. Pleurotus, Pholiota. and 
Cortinarius. A collection of Thelephoracece was forwarded to 
Miss E. M. Wakefield, Kew, among which were Corticium 
botryosum (Trs. Brit. Myc. Soc., Yol. IV., Part 1 (May 1913. 
p. 1 17). new to Yorkshire. Not many Clavariaceae w r ere seen, 
the few gathered were sent to Mr. A. D. Cotton. No additions 
were made. 
When two of the members returned to the schoolroom in 
the dark on Tuesday evening, a bright glow was seen on one 
of the tables. The light was found to arise from a phosphores- 
cent fungus known as Aldridgea sebacea, formerly Soppittiella 
scbacea. It was taken to the house and placed in a dark corner 
to interest those who had not before seen it under those 
conditions. 
Mr. Clarke brought to the meeting specimens of Credo 
tropaeoli Desm., on leaves of Nasturtium, from his garden at 
Huddersfield. 
Miss Massee brought a series of beautifully-executed 
drawings of the genus Mycena. delineating those the micro- 
structure of which she has already investigated. There were 
also drawings by Mr. Gibb and the Secretary. 
On Saturday Miss Massee gave a paper on ‘ The Genus 
Mycena,’ and Mr. Wager, F.R.S.. discoursed on ‘ The Structure 
of Fungi.’ 
On Monday Mr. Massee. Chairman of the Mycological 
Committee, gave a talk entitled ‘ Outlines of the Evolution of
