Galera tenera sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Galera tenera (Fries) (8,16) Fig. 26 = Psilocybe sp.

The material (BERGGREN 60) consists of badly preserved carpophores possessing large spores 18-20 X 10-11 µ, with a smooth brown wall and prominent germ pore. According to the scanty data this species belongs to Psilocybe, rather than Galerina or Conocybe.

Galera tenera sensu Massee 1899 [1898]

Pileus conico-campanulate, obtuse, thin, hygrophanous, entirely yellowish rust-colour when moist, even, pale and rather atomate when dry, 1.5-2.5 cm. high and broad; gills adnate, crowded, ascending, rather broad, cinnamon; spores 12-13 x 7 µ; stem 6-10 cm. high, slender, straight, fragile, equal or slightly narrowed upwards, rather shining, striate upwards, coloured like the pileus.
New Zealand. Australia, South Africa, Europe, United States, Brazil.
Among short grass, &c.
Variable in size, sometimes quite minute, at others exceeding the measurements given above. All one colour when moist, and the pileus very slightly striate; even, and pale everywhere when dry.
