Fungus Flora of ML Hood 129 



white-mycelioid at base. Odor and taste rancid-farinaceous. 

 Spores obtusely angular, broadly ellipsoid, 10-12 x 8-10 /z, deep 

 flesh-color under the microscope; basidia 2-spored 45 X 8-9 jj,; 

 hymenium with abundant, sterile, cystidia-like cells which are 

 acutely pointed, but scarcely project beyond the basidia; true 

 cystidia none. 



On wood debris. Mt. Hood, Oregon. October 5. Collected

Nearly all of the cartilaginous-stemmed species of Leptonia, 

 Nolanea and Eccilia have slender and equal stems. In this 

 species the stem has a tendency to be irregularly undulate and 

 subcompressed, in the larger specimens quite thick, while in 

 contrast to its length, the caps are narrow. The pellicle of the 

 pileus, the stem features and the microscopic characters set it 

 off from other species. The slight tooth of the gills may induce 

 one to look for it under Leptonia, and the stem character at 

 first sight suggests an Entoloma or Clitopilus. The two-spored 

 basidia and other microscopic characters were a constant feature 

 in two different collections.

Galera martipes, sp. nov. — Pileus 5-8 mm. high and wide, 

 conical, obtuse, hygrophanous "clay color" (R.) and long- 

 striate (moist), "pinkish buff," even and atomate (dry); flesh 

 very thin, concolorous. Gills adnate, ascending, ventricose but 

 rather narrow, subdistant. Stem 8-10 cm. long, 1 mm. thick, 

 slender, equal, "mars-brown" (R.), clay-color at apex, minutely 

 pruinose throughout, pruinosity due to minute, spreading hairs, 

 fistulose, mars-brown within, cartilaginous, flexuous. Odor 

 and taste none. Spores oval-subventricose, smooth, ochraceous, 

 8-9x4-5 m; cystidia abundant on edge of gills and near, 

 scattered on sides, rounded-ventricose above the slender pedicel, 

 neck abruptly narrow, lance-shaped to aciculate, hyaline, 60-75 

 X 12-18 /i.
