FUTURE FORAYS - PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENTS The Spring Foray for 1975 will be based on Durham City, members staying at the Royal County Hotel and using workroom facilities at the Department of Extra-Mural Studies. The local secretary, Mr.R.Bevan (address: Department of Botany, The University, P.O.Box 147, Liverpool L69 3BX) hopes that it will be possible also to arrange limited cheaper accommodation (bed and breakfast); students who would like to attend should write to Mr.Bevan. The provisional dates are 15th-20th May 1975. The Autumn Foray for 1976 will be held in the Isle of Man. It is planned to stay at a hotel in Douglas, this being conveniently central for all parts of the island. There is a wide range of habitats and the experience of collectors indicates a rich fungal flora. In 1975 we visit Aberdeen. Foray Secretary
