- THE AGARICACEAE OF MICHIGAN 



528. Galera capillaripes Pk. 

 Torr. Bot. Club. Bull, No. 26, p. 06, 1899. 



PILEUS 8-12 nun. broad, obtusely campanulate, hygroplianous, 

 pale ferruginous and faintly striatulate when moist, paler and 

 atomate when dry. FLESH membranous. GILLS ascending ad- 

 n.itc. rather broad, subdistant, pale, ferruginous. STEM filiform, 

 2 5 cm. long, flexuous, tough, glabrous, concolor, persistently rufous- 

 shining, apex pruinate. SPOKES 9-11.5x5-6.5 micr., elliptical, 

 Mnooth, obtuse, epispore ferruginous under microscope. CYSTIDIA 



ii STERILE CELLS on edge of gills capitate, about 20x7-8 



micr. ODOR none. 



Among grass, near woods. Ann Arbor. September. Infrequent. 



Similar to G. tencra, but with different spores, smaller size and 

 tough stem. It was originally described by Peck from specimens 

 growing on lawns and grassy places in Ohio. 



Section II. Bryogeni. Pileus campanulate-convex, always striat- 

 ulate; gills scarcely ascending, provided on the edge with filiform, 

 awl-shaped or lanceolate sterile cells. Habitat on mosses, sedges, 

 etc. 



529. Galera cyanopes sp. nov. 



PILEUS 8-12 mm. broad, convex-campanulate, hygroplianous, 

 pale watery cinnamon and striatulate when moist, whitish-buff 

 and almost even when dry, atomate; FLESH membranous. GILLS 

 adnate, narrow, sublinear, close to subdistant, pale cinnamon-ochra- 

 ceousj edge minutely flocculose. STEM 5-7 cm. long, 1-1.5 mm. 

 i hick, aliform, pale greenish-gray to bluish, equal or minutely bulb- 

 illate a1 base, elastic, hollow, pruinose at apex, glabrous elsewhere, 

 concolor within. SPORES broadly elliptical, smooth, 8-9.5x6.5-7 

 micr., ochraceous. CYSTIDIA none. STERILE CELLS on edge 

 of gills. ODOR and TASTE none. 



On Polytrichum, a species of moss, in a poplar swamp. Ann 

 Arbor. July. Rare. 



A beautiful little Galera, well-marked by the blue-gray stem, 

 habil on Polytrichum and its striatulate pileus when moist. In the 

 lighl from a kerosene lamp the greenish-blue color is intensified. 

 G. mniophila Lasch. is said to grow on moss and has an olive-yellow 

 stem, but the spores are larger, according to Ricken 10-12x5-6 

 micr., and according to Massee, Ux6 micr.
