This species is rather common, the usual form being slender 

 and small. No. 395, however, growing in a compost heap at the 

 edge of a woodland, is large, with isabelline cap and fulvous stipe, 

 resembling the form sometimes called G. sphaerobasis Post. 

 Specimens of C. tener from California have been referred by 

 some to Galera versicolor Peck, but this species, described in 1897 

 from South Dakota material collected by Williams, is not a 

 Galera but a Pluteolus, near P. luteus and P. expansus.
