Tubaria furfuracea.
Natural size.

Stem somewhat cartilaginous, fistulose. Pileus somewhat membranaceous, often clothed with the universal floccose veil. Gills somewhat decurrent. Spores rust-color or (in Phæoti) brownish-rust color.

The species referred to this subgenus were taken from Naucoria and Galera because they correspond with Omphalia and Eccilia. The pileus is, however, distinctly umbilicate or depressed in only a few of them; the others are placed here on account of their somewhat decurrent gills, which are broadest behind and triangular. Fries.

Small and unimportant.
