(illustrated 55% life size) Cap 1–3 (5) cm across, conical then expanded and umbonate; red-brown when moist, especially at the centre, drying pale fawn; covered in minute, white, fibrous scales when young, which disappear with age. Stem 30–80×3–6mm; brownish, with a distinct white, cottony ring. Flesh pallid brown; smell slight, of radish. Gills adnate; cinnamon. Spores 7–8.6×4.5–5.5¼, broadly elliptical. Spore print rust.
