88 
whilst a few members made a detour through a pine plantation. 
The most noticeable species included AZycena aurantio-marginata Fr., 
Boletus aereus Bull., Sparassis crispa Fr., and Poronia punctata Fr, 
In the evening Mr. C. B. Plowright, M.D., delivered his presidential 
address, entitled “ Recent additions to our knowledge of the 
Uredinex ” (see p. go).and Dr. M. C. Cooke sent a poetic welcome 
to his fellow-members, including a long enumeration of mycologists 
and their doings for some years past, which was much appreciated. 
On Thursday, the 5th of October, the Rev. W. L. W. Eyre led 
the members again to Allum Green, and the Forest further away 
from Lyndhurst was explored, the members returning by the Ring- 
wood Road, Emery Downs, to Lyndhurst, but only Polyporus spumeus 
Fr. and Russula chamaeleontina Fr. are worthy of note. In the 
evening, papers were read by Mr. Charles Crossland, F.L.S., on 
“ Mollisia cinerea and its varieties” (see p. 106); Mr. TI’. Howse, 
F.L.S., “Notes on fungi in the Alps,” and the Rev. W. L. W. Eyre, 
“Notes on Hampshire Fungi” (see p. 110); he also most generously 
distributed to the members “A list of fungi found in the County of 
Hants,” which he had specially compiled for the use of the niembers 
of the British Mycological Society attending this Foray. The list 
includes over 580 species of the Basidiomycetes, and Mr. Eyre must 
be congratulated on the accuracy of his work, seeing that only 46 
species were added to that list during the week’s foray by all the 
members, whilst 221 species enumerated therein were confirmed. 
On Friday, the 6th of October, the enclosures of Boldre Wood, 
Mark Ash, and Knight Wood were investigated, but time did not 
allow of the complete investigation of the latter. A fine specimen 
of Polyporus Schweinizii Fr. was gathered, and also many examples of 
Gomphidius gracilis Berk. and Russula azurea Bres. 
On Saturday, the 7th of October, Knight Wood was further 
explored and its giant oak visited during the morning, where two 
rare Hydnee were found, namely, Hydnum Queletii Fr. (first record 
for Britain) and Hydnum cyathiforme Schaeff., and specimens of Porta 
umbrina Fr. and Tremellodon gelatinosum Pers. were gathered. Many 
of the members had now departed home, but those remaining in the 
afternoon had an enjoyable drive to the picturesque ruins of Beaulieu 
Abbey.
