4. Conocybe Sphagnorum (Pers.) 



Galera Sphagnorum (Pers.) Sacc. Syll. Fung. 5: 869. 1887. 



Kadiak, Alaska, Trelease 311; Yakutat, Alaska, Trelease 514a, 

 516. This species has a much longer stipe than C. Bryorum, but 

 the two are closely related. I have not seen the Alaskan speci- 

 mens here listed. 



5. Conocybe semilanceata (Peck) 



Galera semilanceata Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 23 : 415. 1896. 



Pileus membranous, acutely conic or campanulate, often sharply 

 umbonate, glabrous, sulcate-striate, pale-yellow or buff; lamellae 

 rather broad, ascending, distant, adnate, tawny-ferruginous when 

 mature; stem slender, glabrous, hollow, pallid; spores ellipsoid, 

 ferruginous, 10-12. 5 X 5-6 /x; pileus 4 to 6 lines broad; stem 1.5 

 to 2 in. long, .5 to i line thick. 



Described from specimens collected by Yeomans among fallen 

 leaves, sticks, mosses, etc., at Camas, Washington. The types at 

 Albany are somewhat broken and rather difficult to compare. 



6. Conocybe angusticeps (Peck) 



Galera angusticeps Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 24: 143. 1897. 



Pileus thin, narrowly and irregularly conic or subcylindric, 

 obtuse, acute, or abruptly acuminate at the apex, even, glabrous, 

 viscid and dark-ochraceous when young and moist, nearly white 

 when old and dry, the margin somewhat incurved and appressed 

 to the stem ; lamellae close, narrow, adnate, somewhat white-mar- 

 gined, more or less anastomosing, brownish-ferruginous when 

 mature ; stem slender, glabrous, hollow, equal or slightly thickened 

 at the base, whitish or tinged with yellow, shining when dry; 

 spores ellipsoid, 10-12. 5 X 7-5 Pileus 8-15 lines long, 4-6 

 lines wide; stem 1.5-3 ii^- loi^g? i-i-5 li^^^s thick. 



Described from specimens collected by McClatchie on grassy 

 ground in streets and pastures, at Pasadena, Los Angeles, and 

 Compton, California. The pileus is viscid, estriate, and does not 

 expand. G. Besseyi, described from Colorado, is apparently not 

 distinct. 



7. Conocybe lirata (Berk. & Curt.) 



A. (Galera) liratus Berk. & Curt. Proc. Am. Acad. Arts & Sci.
