A monograph on the genus Galerina Earle / by Alexander H. Smith and Rolf Singer.

APPENDIX The species described here were discovered too late to be included in the body of the text. Galerina antarctica Singer, Cont. del Inst. Antartico Argent. No. 71, p. 13, 1963 Pileus 5-13 mm broad, 3-8 mm high, obtusely conic to campanulate, becoming subumbonate to broadly convex, fulvous, color persistent, smooth, striatulate on margin, margin straight, not sulcate, scarcely viscid. Lamellae ochraceous brown, moderately broad, close to subdistant, adnate to adnexed. Stipe 25-42 mm long, 1-2 mm thick, veil lacking but base mycelioid, straight or curved, naked or slightly silky shining, ochraceous becoming ochraceous-badious, faintly longitudinally striate, tubulose, very slender. Context fragile, taste unknown. Spores (7) 8.3-16 X 4.8-8.3 /u, calyptrate, with an apical callus, ellipsoid to amygdaliform, apex at times mucronate, well pigmented. Basidia 4-spored or up to 50% bispored, 24.5-29 X 6-8.5 /. Pleurocystidia none. Cheilocystidia 30-55 X 4-11 j/, neck long, apex not or only subcapitate, hyaline, but in basal part brownish, thin-walled, brown elements equally distributed. Tramal hyphae with clamps, when mature encrusted with pigment. Epicutis of pileus of appressed hyaline scarcely gelatinous hyphae with little pigment. Hypodermium of more inflated hyphae. On clumps of grass (Deschampsiae) and Poa, gregarious, Antarctic Peninsula. Type preserved at Inst. Antartico Argent. CE-50. 134. This species somewhat resembles G. austrocalyptratus but the habitat on grass should distinguish it at once. This habitat is very unusual for species in this section. Galerina perrara Singer, Cont. del Inst. Antartico Argent. No. 71, p. 15, 1963 Pileus 4-5 mm broad, 3-3.5 mm high, ochraceous brown, weakly striate over the margin, not viscid, smooth, campanulate. Lamellae ochraceous, ascending at first, then more or less adnexed and horizontal, moderately distant. Stipe 15-30 mm long, 1-1.5 mm thick, nearly filiform, narrowly tubular, weakly ochraceous brown. Odor and taste not distinctive. Spores 8.2-10.7 X 5.5-7.5 / (14.5 X 8.8 /), ellipsoid to subpyriform, very weakly ornamented, with a faint plage. Basidia 30-32 X 6-8.5 ju, mostly 4-spored. Cheilocystidia 45-55 X 6-11,u, ampullaceous to ampullaceous-capitate, narrowest part of the neck 2.7-4,u, capitellum 4-7 351
