On the Cryptogamic Foray in the Loughton and Theydon districts 
of Epping Forest, 8th Nov. 1913, the following species of Mycetozoa were 
found :— 
Badhamia utricularis Berk. 
Physarum nutans Pers. ; the small typical form was found in some 
abundance, also the stouter subsp. leucophaeum, and the subsp. 
robuslum, a striking form with much calcareous matter included in the 
sporangium-wall, in the capillitium and in the stalks ; the latter are 
either nearly white or brown according to the proportion of lime of refuse 
matter enclosed by their walls : the robust variety appears to be common 
in the Forest from September to November. 
P. viride Pers. On wood. 
Craterium minutum Fries. On dead holly leaves. 
Didymium squamulosum Fries. On dead holly leaves. 
D. nigripes Fries. In great abundance on holly leaves. 
Colloderma oculatum G. Lister. Found on living trees and fallen logs. 
Sometimes the sporangia are on trunks well covered with moss ( Hypnum 
cupressiforme) and liverwort ( Lophocolea heterophylla) , sometimes on trunks 
where there are no mosses or liverworts and only a little scattered lichen. 
(Cladonia). 
Comatricha nigra Schroeter. On dead wood, abundant.
