Abstract
ON October 24, 1953, I was fortunate in collecting an example of the rare fungus Battarraea phalloides (Dicks) Pers. The locality was Druid's Grove, Boxhill, and it was growing at the base of one of the large old yew trees which are a feature of that particular area. The specimen was rather small (9 cm. tall), as most records mention about one foot in height. Very few specimens have been recorded since it was first described by Thomas Woodward in 1784.
