rich lawns or pastures. It is often found growing on dung in 

 company with Panceolus camjpanulatus. It varies much in size. 

 A small form, form minor, occurs having the pileus hemispherical 

 and only three or four lines broad. 



Yar. pilosella {Agarious pilosellus Pers.), has both pileus and 

 stem clothed with a minute erect pubescence when moist. A 

 form is sometimes found in which the center of the pileus is 

 brown or blackish-brown. 



Galera teneroides Pic.

(Twenty-ninth State Museum Report, p. 39.) 



Pileus thin, campanulate or expanded, hygrophanous, brownish- 

 cinnamon and striatulate when moist, paler when dry ; lamellae 

 narrow, close, yellowish-cinnamon ; stem straight, slender, hollow, 

 colored like the pileus ; spores nearly elliptical, subluteus, .0003 

 to .00035 in. long, .00016 to .0002 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad ; stem 1 to 2 in. long, about half a 

 line thick. Ground, dung and decaying wood and branches in 

 woods. Adirondack mountains and in Albany county. June to 

 September. 



This species is closely related to Galera tener as may be inferred 

 from the name, but it is nevertheless distinct in its more brown 

 or smoky-tinted color, more expanded mature pileus, more narrow 

 lamellae and smaller paler spores.

(Hym. Europ., p. 268. Sylloge Vol. v, p. 862.) 



Pileus somewhat membranaceous, oval or campanulate, hygro- 

 phanous, brownish-ferruginous and obscurely striatulate on the 

 margin when moist, paler and even when dry, fragile ; lamellae 

 nearly free, very broad, ventricose, ferruginous ; stem straight, 

 slender, hollow, slightly striate, colored nearly like the pileus ; 

 spores elliptical, dark-ferruginous, .0004 to .0005 in. long, .00025 

 to .0003 broad. 



Pileus 8 to 12 lines broad ; stem 3 to 4 in. long, about 1 line
