148 Forty-sixth Report on the State Museum. 



Galera rufipes Pk. 



Reddish-stemmed Galeea. 



(Forty-second State Mus. Rep. p. 20. Botanist's Edition.) 



Pileus campanulate or convex, hyg-rophanous, reddish-tawny 

 and striatulate when moist, whitened on the margin by the 

 remains of the white fibrillose veil, pale-ochraceous when dry; 

 lamellae broad, subdistant, emarginate, yellowish or subochraceous, 

 slightly crenulate on the whitish edge; stem slender, hollow, 

 slightly fibrillose beloAv, pruinose at the top, reddish-brown; 

 spores elliptical, subochraceous, .00025 to .0003 in. long, .00016 to 

 .0002 broad. 



Pileus 4 to 6 lines broad; stem about 1 in. long, .5 line thick. 



Mossy ground in woods. Essex county. September. 

 This species is easily separated from Galera Hypnorum by the 

 whitened fibrillose margin of the pileus and by its smaller spores. 



Plicatell^ sec. nov. Pileus membranous, conical or campanu- 

 late, more or less expanded in maturity, plicate-striate. 



The two species here described differ so much in the character 

 of the pileus and its striations from the other species of the genus 

 that I have thought it best to institute a new Section for their 

 reception. I find no description of any similar European species. 

 They are probable peculiar to this country. 



Galera flava Pk. 



Pale-yellow Galera. 



CForty-fifth State Mus. Rep., p. 19.) 



Pileus membranous, ovate or campanulate, moist or subhygro- 

 phanous, obtuse, plicate-striate on the margin, yellow ; lamellae 

 thin, narrow, crowded, adnate, at first whitish, then yellowish- 

 cinnamon; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, hollow, 

 slightly striate at the top, sprinkled with white mealy particles, 

 white or yellowish ; spores ovate or subelliptical, brownish-ferru- 

 ginous, .0005 in. long, .0003 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad ; stem 2 to 3 in. long, 1 to 1.5 lines 

 thick. 



Damp vegetable mold in woods. Tompkins county. July. 



This species is well marked by the pale-3^ellow color of the 

 pileus and its plicate striations which are very distinct even in
