Unfortunately no material of this species exists, but it is very likely that the agaric described under this name is conspecific with an annulate Galerina which grows everywhere in New Zealand.

Naucoria nasuta (Kalchbrenner) (8,16) Fig. 18 = Galerina sp.

This collection (COLENSO 1039) corresponds in all characters with the material described in this list under No. 177. Spores almond-shaped, distinctly warted, with smooth plage, brown, 8-9.5 X 4.5-5 µ, sometimes with visible germ pore. Pleurocystidia fusoid, apically bifurcate, thin-walled, non-pigmented, with clamp connection, 45-60 X 12-18 µ.

The microscopical characters of this material (BERGGREN 70) indicate that this fungus is identical with a widely distributed species of Galerina which grows mainly on rotten wood of Nothofagus cliffortioides.
Pileus thin, globose, then hemispherical, with a prominent elongated umbo, coarsely striate at the margin, remainder even, glabrous, 1-1.5 cm. high and broad, ochraceous-yellow ; gills emarginate, with a decurrent tooth, rather crowded, broad, ventricose, rusty-orange ; spores elliptical, 13-14 x 7-8 µ; stem about 5 cm. long and 2 mm. thick, equal, twisted, fibrillose, rusty-orange, fistulose.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. New South Wales.
On the ground.
Distinguished by the prominent umbo.
Pileus convex, then expanded, hygrophanous, moist, glabrous, margin striate, honey-colour, becoming pale-tan when dry, about 2.5 cm. across; flesh thin; gills adnate, crowded, about 2 mm. broad, watery-cmnamon; spores 7-8 x 4 µ; stem 3-5 cm long, 2-4 mm thick, equal, or slightly thickened at the base, soft, not scaly, mealy aove the fugacious ring, pale-tan, base darker and surrounded with white down, hollow.
Dannevirke, New Zealand. Australia, Europe, Siberia.
On trunks, heaps of leaves, &c.
Allied to Pholiota mutabilis, but differing in the stem below the ring not being scaly, but only somewhat fibrillose ; commonly smaller; solitary or gregarious, rarely caespitose.
Pileus 1-2 cm. across; flesh thin; campanulate, then convex, slightly umbonate, glabrous, almost even, at length slightly striate at the margin, hygrophanous, bay, ochraceous when dry; gills adnate, receding, broad, almost triangular, ochraceous-cinnamon ; spores 9-10 x 5 µ; stem 2-5 cm. long, about 2 mm. thick, almost glabrous and equal, coloured like, the pileus, stuffed, then hollow, often slightly curved at the base; ring superior, slender, entire.
New Zealand. South Africa, Europe.
On trunks and branches.
Subcaespitose; constant in habit, form, and colour.

taxonomic status
The taxonomy of the galerina autumnalis/marginata/patagonica group in New Zealand requires work. A non-patagonica Galerina is present as an introduction and is probably G. marginata sensu stricto. It should be noted that members of this group are all likley to contain toxins responsible for a number of poisonings and deaths in other countries. [JAC]
