Galerina calyptrata is a small, brown saprotrophic mushroom in the family Strophariaceae, growing on decaying mosses and woody debris in boreal and alpine forest habitats. Like other Galerina species, it has a small, tawny cap and a thin, fragile stipe, and many members of this genus contain deadly amatoxins. It is assessed as Least Concern and is distributed across cool temperate and subarctic regions.

Galerina heimansii is a small, brown mushroom in the deadly Galerina genus with hygrophanous cap and brown gills. It grows in moss-rich habitats including peatlands, wet woodland floors, and bryophyte-covered logs in temperate European environments. This saprotrophic fungus decomposes moss-associated organic matter and is closely associated with Sphagnum and related bryophytes.
