 gluten in wet weather ; flesh is white, becoming yellow. 



The gills are attached to the stem, notched, slightly decurrent, crowded, pallid, 

 light yellow, then clay-color. Spores elliptical, 10-12x5/*,. 



The stem is stuffed, firm, somewhat bulbous, covered with white scales, and 

 mealy at the top. There is a partial veil in the form of a cortina.
