Cap 1 to 1£ inches broad; stem 2 or more inches long. This is an interesting little species, occurring late in the fall in pine woods. Thepartial veil is floccose, but early fugacious, and is of such a transitory character that itis of very little value to the amateur in identifying the species. It is edible, thoughnot especially adapted to cooking, but when dried it is nutty and fairly palatable. Bui. 1 75, U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. Plate Fig. 1.—Mycena galericulata. (Edible.)
