146 Forty-sixth Report on the State Museum. 



white- villose at the base; spores subelliptical, pointed at each end, 

 brownish-ferruginous, .0006 to .000 o 5 in. long, .0003 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, .5 to 1 line 

 thick. 



Damp ground under willows and alders. Catskill mountains. 

 September. 



The moist pileus resembles in color that of the small glabrous 

 striatulate form of Glitocyhe laccata, the dry one that of Galera 

 tener. The specimens were found growing with Naucoria jpalu- 

 dosa^ from which they may be distinguished by the more cam- 

 panulate pileus, the broader and more distant lamellae and the 

 larger spores. 



BRYoaEN^. Pileus membranaceous?, campanulate, striate, 

 glabrous, hygraphanous, even when dry, opake, slightly silky ; 

 stem thin, lax, flexile; lamellss broadly and plainly adnate, 

 broad, subdenticulate. Slender, growing among mosses, the 

 veil very fugacious.

Pileus membranaceous, campanulate or convex, glabrous, 

 watery, hygrophanous, pallid-honey color and striatulate on the 

 margin when moist, soft and whitish when dry, often with a 

 yellowish papilla; lamellae distant, triquetrous, plane, adnate, 

 pallid ; stem very long, slender, even, glabrous, whitish or yel- 

 lowish ; spores elliptical, .0004 in. long, .00024 broad. 



Piieus • to 6 lines broad ; stem (in our specimens) 2 to 3 in. 

 long, scarcely 1 line thick. 



Among mosses in wet places. Catskill mountains. July. A 

 rare species. In our specimens the stem is less elongated than 

 in the European plant.

(Hym. Eiirop., p. 270. Sylloge Vol. v. p. 869.) 



Pileus thin, conical convex or expanded, sometimes with a 

 small umbo or papilla, h3^grophanous, tawny or subochraceous 

 and usually striatulate on the margin when moist, pale-ochraceous 

 or buff when dry; lamellae thin, subdistant, tawny-ochraceous ;
