Pileus approaches a fine red, blood colour, lively crimson, then a 
bright rose, it is afterwards discoloured by large white patches, 
turning yellowish, the patches sometimes occupying the centre, 
sometimes, and more commonly, the margin. In old age the 
pileus has the patches of a glossy yellow, and ultimately entirely 
of this colour. It is in good time convexo-plane, the margin 
creased, the upper part humped (umbonate), and finally the centre 
is depressed, more or less. Diam. 2^-3 in. It exhibits no stride. 
Flesh white, red under the epidermis, it is conical, six lines thick, 
soft cheesy, gnawed in good time by the worms.
