Subgenus 20. G a l e b a . — Stem externally subcartllagmous ; pileus
more or less campanulate ; margin straight.
294. A. (Galera) reticulatus, P .; pileus slightly flesliy,
cainpanulato-e.\pandcd, viscid, rougli with a network of veins;
margin striate; stem brittle, fibrillose, white; gills free, ventricose,
crowded, of a yellow-ferruginous tint. (Plate 9,
fig- 5-)
On dead wood. Bare. Northamptonshire. Pileus pale
violet. Care must he taken to distinguish this from such
species as A. phlebophorus. The affinities of A. pilipes, Sow.,
arc altogether doubtful.
295. A. (Galera) lateritius, F r .; pileus submembranaceous,
acorn-shaped, then conical, even, hygrophanous; stem
tall, hrittle, straight, attenuated upwards, and frosted with
white meal; gills linear, nearly free, very narrow, tawny-
ferruginous.—FI. Dan. t. 1846. / . 3.
In rich pastures. Bare. Fineshade, Northamptonshire.
Pileus and stem more ferruginous than in the next.
296. A. (Galera) tenor, Schmff.; pileus suhmemhranace-
ous, conico-campanulate, obtuse, hygrophanous; stem straight,
hrittle, shining, nearly of the same colour; gills adnate,
crowded, ascending, rather hroad, cinnamon.—Soiv. t. 33.
Rich pastures, dungy ground, etc. Extremely common.
Pileus nearly white when dry, tawny when moist. There is
another distinct species with a more conical pileus, which is
minutely rivulose, with a sulcate margin, and smaller spores,
which for the present I refrain from naming.
297. A. (Galera) ovalis, F r .; pileus submembranaceous,
ovali-campannlate, even, hygrophanous; stem straight, equal,
slightly striate, nearly of the same colour; ring fugitive; gills
nearly free, ventricose, very hroad, ferruginous.—Bull. t. 553.

On dung. Rare. A larger species than the last. Pileus
dusky-ferruginous.
298. A. (Galera) confertus, Bolt.; pileus submembranaceous,
acutely conico-campanulate, smooth, hygrophanous; stem
slender, silky, shining, naked; base equal, deeply rooting;
gills slightly adnexed, rather distant, white, then brownish-
oohraceous.— Bolt. t. 18.
In stoves. Rare. I have not met with this species.
Densely crowded.
299. A. (Galera) sparteus, Fr.; pileus membranaceous,
campanulato-convex, then expanded, hygrophanous, dry, even,
smooth; stem thin, flexible, smooth ; gills adnate, crowded,
plane, cinnamon.—Bolt. t. 51./. 1.
Amongst moss, in meadows. Rare. Pileus about half an
inch across, cinnamon, tan-coloured when dry.
300. A. (Galera) embolus, F r .; pileus membranaceous,
campanulate, obtuse, radiato-striate, hygrophanous; stem quite
smooth, shining, thickened upwards; gills thick, very distant,
adnate, triangular.
Amongst heath. On Moelfre-uchaf, Denbighshire. Pileus
tawny when moist, ochraceous when dry. Tufted.
301. A. (Galera) Hypnorum, Batsch; pileus membranaceous,
campanulate, with frequently a central papilla, smootli,
striate, hygrophanous; stem thin, flexuous, of the same colour,
pruinose ahove; gills adnate, rather distant, broad, at
length plane, cinnamon-yellow.—Row. t. 383.
Amongst moss. Extremely common. Yellowish in every
part. Requires to be cautiously distinguished from small A.
melinoides. Attend to the difference of the margin.
Subgeuus 21. Ckepidotus.—Pileus excentric; spores not white.
302. A. (Crepidotns) alveolus, Lasch; pileus fleshy, soft,
