implying a resemblance to G. tmera Schaeff., Fr.). — Pileus Jin. (1.2 cm.), fin. 
(10 mm.) high, campanulato-convex, striate, hygrophanous, dark brown (near 
Bistre, XL.) when moist, drying pale (near Tawny Olive, XL.). Gills ascending,

This species seem referrable to the American G. tenercides Peck, though in the 
American plant the gills are described as narrow, not as ventricose. It can he 
recognised by its habitat (dung) and spores smaller than those of G. tenera. 
* Pileus membranaceous, campanulate, striate, smooth, hygrophanous, even 
when dry, opaque, slightly silky. Stem thin, lax, flexible. Gills broadly and 
planely adnate, broad, somewhat denticulate. Cortina very fugacious. Slender, 
growing amongst moss.’' — Rea.
