Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Piptoporus quercinus and Armillaria ectypa reported from Scotland. Armillaria ectypa also refound in Westmorland. Squamanita paradoxa in North Hants.

Two Clitocybe spp are added to the British list: C. collina from St. Catherine’s Hill, Winchester, Hants and C. trulliformis from Holmsley, N.E.Yorks.

A large fairy ring of Amanita muscaria is described and it’s cause, although pondered over, remains unexplained.

Other rare or overlooked fungi mentioned include: Hypochnicium wakefieldiae, Marasmius limosus, Chromelosporium terrestre.
