Spores black, oval, smootb, or eohinulate ; veil inconspicuous,
not interwoven, generally absent; pileus membranaceous,
striated, margin straight, adpressed to the stem, not exceeding
the gills ; stem confluent with but heterogeneous from tbe
bymenopbore; gills adnate or free. (PI. VI., f . 34.)
The species are ail very slender, and the only other subgenus with black
spores ( Panæolus), is readily distinguished by the characters of the pileus j
it agrees in every point with Psathyra, except the colour of the gills being
never brown or purple, and the spores black. I t also agrees, more or less,
in structure with Mycena, Nolanea, and Galera, and also appears to be allied
to B o l b it iu s , which, however, is at once distinguished by its coloured
spores.—TK G. S.
