Report of the State Botanist.
stem rather long, slender, fragile, equal
or slightly tapering upward, hollow, faintly striate, pruinose,
yellow or greenish-yellow ; spores .00045 to .0005 in. long, .00025
to .0003 broad.
Pileus 1 to 1.5 in. broad ; stem 3 to 4 in. long, 1 to 2 lines
thick.
Decaying wood and rich ground. ( )nondaga and Rensselaer
counties. June to August.
Var. terrestris. Pileus grayish-yellow, tinged with green, stem
greenish-yellow. Growing on rich or well-manured soil. The
plicate striations of the pileus are similar to those of Galera
flava and G. coprinoides. The species has been removed to this
genus because of the viscidity of the pileus, nevertheless it must
be confessed that such a feature is scarcely satisfactory for
generic distinction.
Pluteolus callistus Pk.
Most Beautiful Pluteolus.
(^Galera calUsta Pk. Twenty-sixth State Mus. Rep., p. 59.)
Pileus thin, expanded, subumbonate, smooth, viscid, striatulate
on the margin, olivaceous or ochraceous, the umbo bright chest-
nut color; lamellse thin, close, ventricose, adnexed, easily sepa-
rating from the stem, yellowish becoming bright ferruginous
stem equal, hollow, pruinose, yellow ; spores elliptical, .00035 to
.0004 in. long, .0002 to .00025 broad.
Pileus 6 to 10 lines broad ; stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, ,5 line thick.
Exsiccated water holes in low swampy woods. Lewis county.
September.
This pretty little agaric was discovered in 1872, but has not
since been rediscovered. It may, therefore, be regarded as very
rare. In the dried specimens the lameUae are white on the edge,
and the pileus has assumed a dull metallic green color. The
species is placed in this genus because of its expanded and viscid
pileus.
Pluteolus reticulatus Pers.
Reticulated Pluteolus.
(Hym. Europ , p. 2G6. Sylloge vol. v., p. 859.)
Pileus slightly fleshy, campanulate, then expanded, viscous,
reticulata with anastomosing veins, pale violaceous, striate on the
margin; lamellae free, ventricose, crowded, saffron-ferruginous;
