Nolanea means a little bell, so called from the shape of the pileus.
It is rosy-spored. The stem is cartilaginous and hollow. The pileus is submembranaceous, thin, bell-shaped, papillate, margin straight, pressed close to the stem. The gills are free and not decurrent. They are found growing on the ground in the woods and pastures.
Nolanea pascua. P.
The Pasture Nolanea.
Pascua means pasture.
The pileus is membranaceous, conical, then expanded, slightly umbonate, smooth, striate, watery; when dry, shining like silk.
The gills are nearly free, ventricose, crowded, dirty-grayish.
The stem is hollow, fragile, silky-fibrous, striate. The spores are irregular, 9–10. They are found in pastures in summer and fall, after a rain.
