The rather cinnamon brown pileus, snuff brown gills with pule finely serrated 
edges, the solid fibrillose pinkish buff stem ami the habitat in sandy soil 
characterise the species.

mm.), convex, sometimes slightly dimpled, tomentose, edge turned in when young, 
dark fanny or cinnamon brown, when drying darker than Ochraceons Tawny (xv.)

moderately close, a little crisped, near Snuff Brown (xxix.) to Tawny Olive 
(xxix.). Stem short, Ain. (1.2 cm.), slender, fibrillose to shaggy fibrillose, slightly 
hollow, pallid wit'll tints as on the pileus. Veil present when very small. Spores 
oblique, pallid brown, varying in size, 8.5 to 11 x 4.5 to 5.5 g. On the ground 
in the open. South Australia — Myponga. October. 
186. Naucoria veronabrunneus del. (L., vero%abrunmeus, Verona brown). — 
Pileus i to fin. (1.2 to 1.6 cm.), deeply convex with a slight umbo, fibrillose, 
liygrophanous, near Verona Brown (xxix.) drying pallid. Gills sinuate, moderately 
close, ventricose, near Verona Brown (xxix.), the edges paler and finely serrate. 
Stem 2in. (5 cm.), equal, Hexuous, mealy above, fibrillose below, solid, apparently 
cartilaginous and differing in texture from the flesh of the pileus, pallid with a 
brownish tint. Spores rather narrow, oblique, rather dull brown, 8.2 x 4 /x. On 
the ground. South Australia — Mount Lofty. July.

No South Australian species recorded. 
ft Margin of pileus straight', at first adpressud to the stem. 
GALERA Fr. 
(1,., g uterus j a cap.) 
‘‘Pileus fleshy or submembranaceous; margin straight, at first adpressed to 
the stem. Stem central, cartilaginous. Gills adnate or aducxed. Spores 
ochraeeous, cinnamon or ferruginous; elliptical, pruniform or almond-shaped; 
smooth; with a germ-pore, rarely continuous. Cvstidia generally present. 
Growing on the ground.” — Rea. 
The species of Galera are small fungi growing on dung or amongst grass or 
moss. The genus corresponds with Mycena amongst the white-spored group. 
"1 lie pileus is thin and membranaceous, mostly conical or deeply convex, often 
somewhat striate round the margin when moist, of an ochraeeous or yellowish- 
brown colour, liygrophanous, becoming paler when dry when the surface often 
appears atomate or covered with minute whitish particles. The gills are mostly 
ascending and narrow, rarely broad, and in colour vellowish-brown to cinnamon. 
The stem is slender and hollow. 
Four species have been recognised in tliis State, two species appearing on dung, 
one frequently on buffalo grass lawns and one amongst moss in shady places in 
our hills.
