location
Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soča and Trenta; right bank of river Soča; near farmhouse Skokar, Trenta 2, East Julian Alps (Posočje, Slovenia)notes Slo.: travniška kučmica - syn.: Agaricus laevis Pers., Galera graminea Velen., Galerina laevis Singer., Galera laevis (Singer) Malençon & Bertault Family: Hymenogastraceae Vittad - Habitat: extensively used grassland, frequently trodden, locally almost flat terrain near a farmhouse; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground, exposed to direct rain, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 570 m (1.780 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. - Substratum: soil. - Comments: According to literature Galerina graminea is not a rare species. However, there are very few records documented in Slovenia. No hypha clamps have been observed. This and relatively very small, almost smooth spores distinguish this species from most of others in this genus. Galerina clavata is another species without clams, but it has much larger spores (Ref.: 2). Very specific cheilo- and caulocystidia make this determination apparently reliable. - About 10 pilei growing on cca.4 m2 area; pilei diameter 6.5 – 16 mm (measured not expanded); stipe 3.5 – 6.5 cm long and of 1 – 1.3 mm diameter; pilei and stipe dry, no milk extruded when damaged and not bruising; smell very mild possibly farinaceous or on dust; taste indistinctive; SP initially faint in the second try abundant, orange-ocher-brown, concolorous with pileus. - Spore dimensions: The first observation; spores taken from very faint spore print and gills: (7.5) 7.9 - 9.8 (11.3) × (4.5) 4.6 - 5.4 (5.6) µm; Q = (1.5) 1.6 - 2; N = 30; Me = 8.9 × 5 µm; Qe = 1.8. The second observation; spores taken from abundant spore print: (7.6) 8.3 - 9.9 (10.5) × (4.4) 4.6 - 5.4 (5.5) µm; Q = (1.4) 1.7 - 2 (2.1); N = 33; Me = 9.2 × 4.9 µm; Qe = 1.9. No clamps observed.
