162 OUTLINES OF BRITISH FUNGOLOGY. 



Subgenus 20. Gtalera. — Stem externally subcartilaginous ; pileus 

 more or less campanulate ; margin straight. 



294. A. (Galera) reticulatus, P. ; pileus slightly fleshy, 

 campanulato-cxpandcd, viscid, rough with a network of veins; 

 margin striate ; stem brittle, flbrillose, white ; gills free, ven- 

 tricose, crowded, of a yellow-ferruginous tint. (Plate 9, 

 fig. 5.) 



On dead wood. Rare. Korthamptonshirc. Pileus pale 

 violet. Care must be taken to distinguish this from such 

 species as A, phlebophorus. The affinities of A. pilipes, Sow., 

 are altogether doubtful, 



295. A. (Galera) lateritius, Fr. ; pileus submembranace- 

 ous, acorn-shaped, then conical, even, hygrophanous ; stem 

 tall, brittle, straight, attenuated upwards, and frosted with 

 white meal; gills linear, nearly free, very narrow, tawny- 

 ferruginous.— F/. Dan. t. 1846./. 2. 



In rich pastures. Rare. Fineshade, Northamptonshire. 

 Pileus and stem more ferruginous than in the next. 



296. A. (Galera) tener, Sclueff. ; pileus su])membrauacc- 

 ous, conico-campanulate, obtuse, hygrophanous; stem straight, 

 brittle, shining, nearly of the same colour; gills adnate, 

 crowded, ascending, rather broad, cinnamon. — Sow. t. 33. 



Rich pastures, dungy ground, etc. Extremely common. 

 Pileus nearly white when dry, tawny when moist. There is 

 another distinct species with a more conical pileus, which is 

 minutely rivulpse, with a sulcatc margin, and smaller spores, 

 which for the present I refrain from naming. 



297. A. (Galera) ovalis, Fr. ; pileus submembranaceous, 

 ovali-campanulate, even, hygrophanous ; stem straight, equal, 

 slightly striate, nearly of the same colour; ring fugitive; gills 

 nearly free, ventricose, very broad, i'erruginous. — Bull. t. 552.
