Pileus: conical; 45 mm diameter; dry, areolate; brown breaking up to reveal white flesh beneath; margin appendiculate.

Spore print: very pale pink.

Spores: broadly fusoid with an ornamented central band ; 12 – 16 × 7 – 10 µm; Q = 1.82 Notes: the combination of a conical areolate cap with a brown lacunose stipe may be  sufficient to recognise this species in the field.
