Pileus 3-6.5 cm broad, obtuse when young, expanding to plane 

 with a low obtuse umbo or in some the margin strongly uplifted and 

 split radially, surface moist and "pinkish cinnamon" beneath a "pale 

 pinkish cinnamon" canescent coating, in age remaining "pinkish cin- 

 namon" on disc but becoming "pinkish buff" toward the "pale pinkish 

 buff" margin ( generally pale cinnamon to pale alutaceous ) , some with 

 watery spots around the disc. Context nearly concolorous with the 

 pileus-surface, not staining when bruised; odor sickening (sweetish), 

 taste slight and hardly distinctive. 



Lamellae short-decurrent to broadly adnate, light "pinkish cin- 

 namon" young, "pinkish buff" in age, distant, strongly intervenose, 

 edges even. 



Stipe 4-7 cm long, 5-14 mm thick, about "pinkish buff" within, 

 about concolorous with the gills, narrowed downward, silky-striate
