A large, well-marked species. The pileus becomes dark brown with age, 
especially the central portion. The cuticle becomes quite rigid before the pileus 
attains its full growth, hence during increase in size of the pileus the rigid cuticle is 
much cracked and torn, exposing the white flesh. 
The species as understood above is represented in Roumeg., Fung. Gall. Exs., 
1801.
