Fungi

A parcel of fungi was forwarded for determination to a specialist, who had meanwhile left for England. The full list of a dozen or so species cannot therefore be listed; and, in any case, owing to the spasmodic fruiting of these plants, the collection was doubtless far from complete. It included, however, Thelephora terrestris from the upper margin of a deep drain cut through the peat; a small, unbranched, sulphur yellow Clavaria, 1–2 cm tall; two species of Calocera from dead manuka stems; Crucibulum vulgare from the same habitat; and a number of agarics.
