| Galerina atkinsoniana var. atkinsonian
af. atkinsoniana (2-spored) f. tetraspora (4-spored)
| Fragile. Look for pileocystidia (handlens). On moss on ground
or mossy old logs. Cap distinctly striate. Stip red brown at lower
part. G. perplexa has also Pileocystidea These are narrow, setae-like
ca. 8 ¦m. | Circum-boreal | Pileus: 3-12
mm. Conic-Campanulate. Striate-sulcate, membranous. Stipe: 20-45x1-2
mm. Entirely pubescent. Dark red brown; apex and young stipe more
ochre | Yellow-ochre. Tawny strongly hygrophanous. | Matt
glabrous | Ascending- broadly adnate. Ochre. Edge white +
fimbriate (lens) | Amygdaliform, verrculose, with plage. Tawny
in KOH. 2-spored var: 11-15x6-9. 4-spored var:
9-11x5-6. | Cheilo-, Pleuro-, Caulo-
present. Pileo. 25-60x9-18, ventricose-fusoid. Large &
conspicuous. Visible with
handlens | Present | Absent |
| Galerina vittaeformis var. pachyspora (2-spored)
var. vittaeformis (4-spored) | Similar to G. atkinsoniana but
without cystidia on cap | | |
| | | 2-spored:
11-13x7-8.5. 4-spored: 8-9x5-6.5. Tawny in KOH. | Cheilo.,
Pleuro. and Caulo. large, conspicuous, visible with handlens,
ventricose-fusoid. Pileo. absent. | Present |
Absent |
| Galerina heterocystis | Fragile. On moss
(Rarely on Sphagnum). Tibbiform cystidia, clamps absent, large spores
without plage. | Circum-polar &
Circum-boreal. | Pileus: 3-25 mm. Conic-campanulate. Striate
membranous. Stipe: 20-80x.5-3mm distinctly paler than cap, whitish to
pale yellow, + silky fibrillose, apex pruinose base often
bulbose | Pale yellow to fulvous to yellow brown. Often bright
hygrophanous | More or less lubricous shiny | Ascending,
adnate subdistant pale yellow to fulvous | 11-17x6.5-8.5
distinctly verrucose, no plage, no pore. Tawny in
KOH. | Cheilo. tiibiform, 18-35 x 6-9, neck 2-7, tip 5-7.
Pleuro. absent. Caulo. similar | Absent | Present in young
buttons, white. |
| Galerina sphagnicola | Very fragile. On Sphagnum in
bogs. calyptrate spores | East & West North
Amer. | Pileus: 10-25 (30) mm Conic-campanulate obtuse. Opaque
to strongly striate membranous. Stipe: 50-120x1-3 mm. Soft and weak,
watery ochre-tawny, apex pruinose. | Tawny (young) to warm
"buff", hygrophanous. | Glabrous | More or less
ascending broadly adnate subdistant, pale yellow to
fulvous. | 9-11.5x6-7.5, amygdaliform, smooth, calyptrate. Tawny
in KOH. | Cheilo. ventricose-fusoid to ventricose-subcapitate +
flexuose, 30-50x7-11. Pleuro. absent. | Present | Present
in very young buttons |
| Galerina cerina | Fragile on moss (rarely on
Sphagnum), typically on Polytrichum, Dicranum. Caliptrate spores,
Ventricose-capitate cystidia, stem shorter than
G. sphagnicola. | North Amer. | Pileus: 5-15 mm,
convex-subconic, striate membranous. Stipe: 20-30x2-3 mm equal (base
no-bulbouse). Apex pale, downwards + tawny apex pruinose +
silken-fibrillose | Tawny to buffy tan,
hygrophanous | Glabrous lubricous | More or less ascending
adnate subdistant pale ochre to tawny | 8.5-12 x 5.5-7,
amygdaliform. Tawny in KOH, smooth,
calyptrate | Cheilo. ventricose-capitate,
30-40x7-12x5-7. Pleuro. absent. | Present | Present in
young buttons, pale yellow to white. |
