| Review (by Malcolm Storey) | A group of genera from the section of Cortinariaceae with rust-coloured spore print, but excluding Cortinarius, and the genera with thin-walled spores: Tubaria and Flammulaster. Most of the genera have only one or a few species (and are rare), except Galerina and Gymnopilus whose members will be more familiar. Keys to genera and then species within genera, with lengthy species descriptions. The work adopts a narrow species concept in Galerina and Gymnopilus. An Ecological List of Species groups them by habitat. |
| Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | Couplet 8 in the *Galerina* key should include 43 *autumnalis* - this is easiest accomplished by going to couplet 40. |
| Examine |  Compound Microscope |
| Specimen Preparation | Spore prints, and microscopy of spores, cystidia, cutis etc. |
| Identification difficulty | Mostly straightforward although some Galerina and Gynopilus need care. |
