CLASSIFICATION OP ACAKI 



523. Galera pubescens < rill. 



( Champignons « I * - Prance, 1874. 

 [llustrations : [bid. No. 296. 



PILEUS II cm. broad, Oval-campanulate or obtusely conical- 

 campanula te, ferruginous-cinnamon to rufous-brown when moist, 

 hygrophanous, buff to ochraceous-tan when dry, sometimes reticu 

 late-rivulose < n- obscurely rugulose, atomate when dry. FLESH 

 submembranous. GILLS ascending-adnate, rather narrow, close, 

 Bubventricose, cinnamon-ochraceous. STEM 3-10 cm. Long, l 3 nun. 

 thick, '-///'//. often striatulate, minutely pubescent or glabrous, 

 hollow, brownish-ochraceous, becoming pallid and shining. 

 SPORES elliptical, Bmooth, obtuse, L0-12x5.5-7 micr. CYSTIDLA 

 none. STERILE CELLS capitate, on edge of gills. 



Common locally on cow-dung, cultivated fields, etc. Ann 

 Arbor, New Richmond. June-Septemiber. 



This differs from G. bulbifera in the size of the spores and of the 

 stem which is of equal size to the base. The stem is usually pub- 

 escent ns is also ihf surface of the pileus; bu1 no1 too much stress 

 must be laid <»n this character since it is not unusual for other 

 species Of Galera to develop pubescence on cap and stem when 

 growing on dung in shaded, moist situations. The stem ;ilso 

 varies considerably as to the striatums; these are normally well- 

 marked hut may be entirely lacking. 



524. Galera sp. 

 Plate XCVI1 of this Report. 



PILEUS 12-16 nun. broad, campanulate, not striatulate, watery- 

 cinnamon-brown when moist, hygrophanous, pale wbitish-ochra- 

 eeous and atomate when dry; FLESB submembranous, concolor. 

 GILLS adnate-seceding, ascending, rather broad, ventricose, cl 

 to Bubdistant, ferruginous' at maturity. STEM aboul 5 cm. long, 

 1-1.5 mm. thick, equal, no1 bulbillate, fibrous-rigid, hollow, even, 

 glabrous or pruinate, white a1 first, then pallid or |>;ilc ochraceous. 

 SPORES large, broadly elliptical, obtuse, smooth, ferruginous in 

 mass, 1.5-18x9-10 micr. CYSTIDIA none. STERILE CELLS on 

 edge of gills, capitate. 



On cow-dung in pine woods. New Richmond. September. 



Differing from the preceding two, in the large spores, broad and
