EPPING FOREST FUNGI.
rather striate, soft, naked, gills adnexed, rather broad, trans-
versely pellucid striate, whitish. Sacc. Syll., No. 767.
On Beech trunks, stem abruptly rooting, cuticle soft and
polished. Pileus purplish bay, almost black, dusky when dry,
about an inch across, before expansion, stem two or three inches
long.
Amongst the specimens found and exhibited on the 12th Oct.,
were:—
Amanitopsis fulva, Schoeff, which resembles the ordinary
Amanitopsis vaginata, but, instead of being grey, the pileus is
bright brown, and instead of being edible, the fungus is sus-
pected of being deleterious.
Pleurotus pantoleucus, Fr. Cooke, Illustrations t. 275a,
described in Cooke's Handbook, 2nd Ed., No. 368. Growing on
trunks.
Russula azurea, Bres. Cooke Illus, t. 1088, on the
ground.
Boletus aurantiporus, Howse. A fine species with large
bright yellow pores.
Calocera stricta, Fries. On dead wood and branches.
First time, Epping.
Entoloma porphyrophcea, Fr., on the ground, possibly
recorded before under the name of Entoloma jubata, Fr.
Mr. W. G. Smith has also reported Lactarius obliquus
for the Forest District.1
Amongst rare species, which have been recorded in previous
years, were Russula cutefracta, Cooke, and Russula armeniaca,
Cooke, found again in 1901.
Add also for the first time at Epping Tricholoma circum-
tecta, Cooke. Illus. t., 1182.
I fancy this to be the best record of new and rare Forest
Fungi for at the least ten years.
LIST OF THE MICRO-FUNGI OBSERVED.
By GEORGE MASSEE, F.L.S.
The following minute species of Fungi were found, princi-
pally on dung. Those marked with an asterisk are new to the
Forest Flora. Concerning those unmarked, I am uncertain as
to their having been recorded before or not.
