Spores: very long, wavy angular in outline, very pale honey under the microscope and 14-20 × 7-9 µm. Marginal cystidia: club-shaped or balloon-shaped and hyaline. Facial cystidia: absent. So very different to other species of _Leptonia_ is it that it should be classified in Dr. Pilát’s genus _Pouzaromyces_. ~Conocybe mairei~ Watling _Cap_: width 5-10 mm. _Stem_: width 1 mm; length 10-40 mm. _Description_: Cap: pale to deep ochraceous or buff, minutely tomentose. Stem: flexuous, whitish or very pale ochraceous. Gills: pale buff then ochraceous. Spore-print: ochraceous. Spores: medium sized, ellipsoid or slightly almond-shaped with small germ-pore and 6-8 × 3-4 µm in size. ~Flammulaster granulosa~ (J. Lange) Watling _Cap_: 4-15 mm. _Stem_: width 1 mm; length 10-25 mm. _Description_: Cap: ochraceous to date-brown, darker at the centre and granular scaly throughout. Stem: similarly coloured to the cap and similarly roughened, except for the slightly smoother paler apex. Spores: ellipsoid to almond-shaped, very pale brown under the microscope and 8-10 × 4-5 µm in size. Marginal cystidia: cylindric-wavy, hyaline. Facial cystidia: absent. Depending on the herbaceous constituents the fungus-flora will vary. Certain species are found on all sorts of herbaceous debris, but others are much more specific to their substrate preferences. Beds of Butterbur, Coltsfoot or Impatiens are also good hunting places, as are beds of sedges in fenland. In many of these localities agarics with reduced fruit-bodies looking like disc-fungi are frequently seen. We have already discussed the specific requirements of certain species of _Marasmius_ (see p. 92). [Illustration: Plate 76. Fungi of alder-carrs and from under herbaceous plants] (v) Fungi of moss-cushions Many small species grow amongst moss cushions on tree trunks, tucked in crevices in walls or on the tops of old buildings. However, there is one genus of agarics, i.e. Galerina which is probably more typical than any other of such situations. There are many members of this genus whose small caps are found in the autumn pushing up through the moss plants. Plate 78. ~Galerina hypnorum~ (Fries) Kühner _Cap_: width 4-6 mm. _Stem_: width 1 mm; length 20-40 mm. _Description_: Cap: hemispherical or bell-shaped, hygrophanous, orange-yellow, sand-colour, smooth and striate almost to the cap-centre. Stem: smooth and similarly coloured to the cap. Gills: yellow-tawny then rust-coloured, adnate emarginate, rather broad and somewhat distant. Flesh: thin, yellow-tawny and with a smell of new meal. Spore-print: rust-colour. Spores: medium-sized, almond-shaped, golden yellow under the microscope, slightly roughened and 10-11 × 6-7 µm in size. Marginal cystidia: flask-shaped or cylindrical with slight swelling at the apex. Facial cystidia: absent. ~Galerina mycenopsis~ (Fries) Kühner
