Abstract
Fruit-bodies of a species of Rhizopogon collected near Burrington, Somerset, in the autumn of 1953, could not be assigned to any known species of this genus and are here described as Rhizopogon reticulatus sp.nov. Other fruit-bodies collected in September 1954 in the New Forest are considered to be those of R. provincialis Tul., the first record of this fungus in Britain. A revised key to British species of Rhizopogon is given. Battarina inclusa (Berk. & Br.) Clem. & Shear, was collected on Tuber puberulum Berk. & Br. at Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, 7 November 1953. The spores were found to be sparsely echinulate and comparison with type material showed that previous illustrations of these spores (Berkeley & Broome, 1861; Petch, 1938) are incorrect. Sepedonium chrysospermum Fr. on Melanogaster variegatus Vitt. var. broomeianus Berk., collected at Blaise Castle, Bristol, 30 September 1953, is a new British host record. It has since been found also on Rhizopogon provincialis.
