GALERA ANGUSTICEPS. 
Pileus thin, narrowly and irregularly conical or subcylindrical, 
obtuse acute or abruptly acuminate at the apex, even, glabrous, 
viscid and dark ochraceous when young and moist, nearly white 
when old and dry, the margin somewhat incurved and appressed 
to the stem; lamellae close, narrow, adnate, somewhat white- 
margined, more or less anastomosing, brownish-ferruginous when 
mature; stem slender, glabrous, hollow, equal or slightly 
thickened at the base, whitish or tinged with yellow, shining when 
dry; spores elliptical, .0004-.0005 in. long, .0003 broad. Pileus 
8-15 lines long, 4-6 lines wide; stem 1.5—3 in. long, I-1.5 lines 
thick. 
Grassy ground in streets and pastures. Pasadena, Los Angeles 
and Compton, California. McClatchie. 
This species is closely allied to G. /ateritia and G. semilanceata, 
from both of which I have separated it because of its viscid pileus 
the absence of striations and the darker color of its mature lamellae. 
The pileus also scarcely expands, so far as shown by the speci- 
mens seen, and the notes of the collector say that the margin is 
“ permanently incurved.” 
GALERA ALBA. 
Pileus submembranous, campanulate, very fragile, moist, striate, 
splitting on the margin, white; lamellae narrow, close, white, be- 
coming brownish-ferruginous; stem fragile, hollow, glabrous, white; 
spores elliptical, .o005—.0006 in. long, .0003-.0004 broad, com- 
monly containing one to three nuclei. Pileus 8-12 lines broad; 
stem 1.5-2.5 in. long, 1-2 lines thick. 
Rich ground in the shade of weeds. Brookings, South Dakota. 
Summer. T. A. Williams. 
It occurs after rains in warm weather. It is more fragile when 
fresh than when dried. 
GALERA VERSICOLOR. 
Pileus thin, fragile, convex or subcampanulate, moist or slightly 
viscid, glabrous, striate on the margin, whitish pale-yellow or 
brownish tan color; lamellae close, white or pale yellow, becom- 
ing reddish-ferruginous; stem equal, fragile, hollow, slightly mealy 
or pruinose, often tomentose at the base, white; spores very un- 
equal in size, .0005-.0008 in. long, .0003-.0005 broad, generally 
containing one to three nuclei. Pileus 1-2.5 in. broad; stem 2-4 
in. long, 1-2 lines thick. . 
Manure and other decaying vegetable matter. Brookings, 
South Dakota. Spring and early summer. Williams.
