Attached to mosses and decayed needles, in forest of hem- 

 lock and Douglas fir. Mt. Hood, Oregon, September 2. Col- 

 lected by C. H. Kauffman. 



The pileus is homogeneous in structure, not corticate. The 

 species is closely related to G. hijpnorum, but differs constantly 

 in its longer and pruinose stems, smaller spores and the character 

 and distribution of the cystidia. See Atkinson (2) for relation- 

 ships of the species of Galera.

Hygrophorus mollis (B. & Br.), comb. nov. — Pileus 5-12 nrni. 

 broad, at first discoid, then broadly convex, obtuse, moist, "mikado 

 orange" (R.), decorated by fine, pointed, concolorous fasci- 

 cles of fibrils which suggest a minutely echinulate appearance, 

 margin at first incurved, even; flesh relatively thick, thinner on 

 margin, concolor. Gills adnate, rather narrow, of equal width, 

 subdistant, waxy, "light orange-yellow." Stem 1-2.5 cm. long, 

 1.5-2 mm. thick, "light orange-yellow" (R.), equal, glabrous, 

 hollow, toughish, concolorous within, apex naked but attached 

 at base by delicate radiating, pure white hairs; cortina none. 

 Spores elliptical, smooth, hyaline, 8-9 x 4-4.5(5); basidia 48- 

 50x7-8iu; cystidia none; gill-trama of interwoven hyphae; 

 trama of pileus floccose, homogeneous, composed of concolorous 

 hyphae; sterile cells inconspicuous. 



On a very decayed log under Douglas fir. Subcespitose.

This species departs in such minor particulars from the 

 European form which goes under the name of H. turundus var. 

 mollis, that it seems clearly to be the same. I have here raised 

 the variety to specific rank on microscopical grounds. The whole 

 plant has a waxy lustre. No cortina was visible even in the 

 youngest specimen. The decoration of the cap gives a white
