Description
The cap is 2-4 cm in diameter (up to 5.5), conical, bell-shaped or semicircular, with age it can be flattened, with a small tubercle or without, at the old edge it can slightly curl up. Gigrofanny, smooth, when wet, radially translucent striped, darker towards the center. When dried, it is lighter in the center, darker towards the edge. Wet color is yellow-brown, brown. In dried up – gray, gray-brownish, with a yellowish tint in the center. There is no private cover.
Hat-colored pulp. Smell and taste are not expressed, or slightly mealy. The plates are not frequent, convex, deeply and poorly adherent, or loose, rather wide, with a smooth or wavy edge. Light ocher at first, then pink. There are shortened plates that do not reach the stem, often more than half of all plates.
The spore powder is deep pink-brownish. Disputes are heterodiametric, with 5-8 lateral angles, 9-14 x 7-10 μm.
The leg is 3-9 cm high, 1-3 mm in diameter, cylindrical, can be extended to the base, hollow, cap colors and shades, distinctly silvery-striped, at the bottom of the stripes turn into a felt bloom, under the cap itself between the plates, into a white bloom, often twisted, sometimes flattened, medium elastic, not fragile, but breaks.
