Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Describes 12 new species: Conocybe sordescens, Coprinus cinnamomeotinctus, C. griseofoetidus (a renaming of C. narcoticus (Batsch: Fr.) Fr. sensu J. Lange), Galerina paludinella, G. viscidula, Leccinum rigidipes, Lepiota olivaceobrunnea, Mycena fusconigra (a renaming of M. atrocyanea (Batsch: Fr.) Gillet), Pholiota ceriferoides, P. persicina, P. xanthophaea, and Tephrocybe ellisii. [Not all these have stood the test of time - MWS]

Hygrophorus micaceus is transferred to Hygrocybe and a recent collection is described.

Descriptions are given of recent British material of Clitocybe ornamentalis, C. truncicola, Cortinarius (Phlegmacium) gracilior, C. (P.) magicus, C. (P.) varius, C. (P.) xanthophyllus, Entoloma myrmecophilum, E. sphagneti, Gymnopilus bellulus, Hebeloma funariophyllum, Lepiota tomentella, Mycena leucogala, M. trichoderma, Stropharia albonitens and Tephrocybe platypus.

The following taxa are discussed but not described: Cortinarius (Telamonia) pseudocolus, C. (T.) haematochelis (both of which are newly recorded for Britain), Leccinum quercinum (occurring under aspen in Scotland) and Pluteus villosus (amended dimensions of cap and stem).
