Pileus submembranous, broadly convex or expanded, umbonate, 
glabrous, shining, hygrophanous, grayish brown and generally 
striatulate on the margin when moist, paler when dry; lamellae 
broad, rounded behind, adnexed or nearly free, whitish becoming 
flesh color; stem straight, equal or slightly tapering upward, silky - 
fibrillose or glabrous, hollow, colored like or a little paler than the 
pileus, often a dense mycelioid tomentum at the base; spores 
angular, .0004—.0005 of an inch long, .0003-.0004 broad. 
Pileus 1-2 inches broad; stem 2-4 inches long, 1-2 lines thick. 
Damp places in woods or their borders. June to October. 
The regular pileus and usually straight stem give a beautiful 
and symmetrical appearance to this species.
