The most interesting specimens collected included, Lycoperdon velatum 
Vitt., Boletus pruinatus Fr., Lepiota seminuda Lasch., Mycena zephira 
Fr., Cortinarius (Phlegmacium) triumphans Fr., Eccilia carneogrisea B. 
and Br., Hygrophorus subradiatus Fr. var. lacmus F r., Clavaria fumosa 
Pers., Tremellodon gelatinosum Pers., and a mild tasting specimen of 
Lactarius capsicum Schulz. In the evening at the headquarters, 
Miss A. Lorrain Smith read an interesting note, on “ Gleosporium 
Tiliae a Disease of Lime Leaves ” (see Pp. 55), and Mr, Carleton Rea, 
B.C.L., M. A., gave a paper entitled, “Notes on two Phalloideae 
new to Europe” (see p. 57). 
On Thursday the 8th of October the members devoted the morn- 
ing to investigating the previous days material, and then booked by 
the 1-30 train to Savernake Station. A few minutes walk soon brought 
them into the forest, and a traverse was then made via the Ailesbury 
Column and the Grand Avenue of beeches back to Marlborough. 
Great numbers of Geoglossa were noted as on the previous day, and 
a fair number of Geaster fimbriatus Fr. were collected, whilst the 
beeches throughout the forest were covered with large numbers of 
the destructive parasites, Armillaria mucidg Schrad., Pholiota adiposa 
Fr. and Pholiota squarrosa Mull. The other specimens worthy of 
notice, included Collybia hariolorum J). C., Collybia vertirugis Cke., 
Mycena elegans Pers. and Hydnum nodulosum Fr. In the evening the 
Society’s dinner was held at the Headquarters, and afterwards the 
President the Rev. W. L. W. Erye, delivered his address, entitled 
“ Mycology as an instrument of recreation ” (see p. 49). A hearty 
vote of thanks was then unanimously accorded to the Marquess of 
Ailesbury for his kind permission to visit Savernake Forest, and the 
Hon. Secretary was further directed to send to him a copy of their 
next ‘Transactions, recording the result of the week’s Investigation. 
On Friday the gth of October the members drove from the Head- 
quarters at mid-day, to the fir-plantation which had been only 
partially investigated on the Wednesday afternoon. Here Miss 
Gulielma Lister secured the somewhat rare mycetozoon Licea flexuosa 
Pers., and in the adjacent Forest, specimens of Mycena rorida Fr., 
Eccilia griseorubella Lasch., Inocybe brunnea Quél., Maucoria scolecina 
Fr, and Merulius molluscus Fr. were found. The return walk was 
collected during the foray, and Miss A. Lorrain Smith added a new 
North American mould Felicomyces scandens Morg. to the British 
Fungus Flora.
