Naucoria uliginosa n. sp. 



PLATE H, FIG. 1-9 



Pileus thin, convex, becoming nearly plane, glabrous, hygrophanous, 

 dark brown and striatulate on the margin when moist; dingy buff after 

 the evaporation of the moisture, flesh subconcblorous ; lamellae broad, 

 moderately close, rounded behind, adnexed, uneven or crenulate on the 

 edge, subventricose, dmgy ochraceous; stem slender, firm, obscurely 

 fibrillose, hollow, reddish brown when moist, pallid when dry; spores 

 brownish ferruginous, subelliptic, pointed at one end, commonly uninu- 

 cleate, .0004-.0005 of an inch long, .0002-.00025 broad. 



Pileus 6-10 lines broad; stem 1-2 inches long, about i line thick. 

 Wet or muddy places in swamps. Sandlake, Rensselaer co. September. 



Pluteolus aleuriatus gracilis n. var. 



Pileus submembranaceous, fragile, nearly plane, viscid, deeply 

 striate on the margin, hygrophanous, dark grayish brown when 

 moist, paler after the moisture has escaped ; lamellae thin, close, 

 narrow, subventricose, free, whitish, becoming ferruginous; stem slen- 

 der, equal, hollow, minutely pulverulent, slightly striate at the 

 top, snowy white; spores ferruginous, elliptic, uninucleate, .0004-.0005 

 of an inch long, .0002-.00024 broad. 



Pileus 8-12 lines broad; stem 1-1.5 inches long, .5-1 line thick. 



Damp vegetable mold in woods. Westport. October. This differs 

 from the typical form in the darker color of the pileus, the deeper and 

 longer striations of the margin and the more highly colored spores. The 

 spores of the European plant are described as whitish ferruginous. I 

 have seen no description which gives their dimensions. Our plant has a 

 more slender habit than is indicated by the figure of the European plant 

 as given in Icoiies. Its viscid pellicle is separable. Perhaps it will prove 

 to be a distinct species. 



Galera bryophila n. sp. 



PLATE G, FIG. 15-21 



Pileus thin, ovate or subconic, obtuse, hygrophanous, yellowish when 

 moist, almost white when the moisture has disappeared, even or but 

 slightly striate on the margin ; lamallae thin, narrow, subdistant, white 

 or whitish, becoming ochraceous yellow; stem long, slender, flexuous, 

 hollow, slightly silky fibrillose, downy or pruinose at the top, with a white 

 mycelioid tomentum at the base, whidsh or pallid; spores pale brownish 

 ochracGovis, ellipdc, ,ooo4-.ooo5 of an inch long^ i00o24-,ooo3 broad.
