Pileus (30-)50(-70) mm diam., thick, fleshy, convex when young, finally broadly convex-applanate, surface silky to fibrillose, white (N9.5) when young, bruising orchraceous brown (7.5YR 6/4-4/4), with soil particles often adhering to surface; margin thin, inrolled edge with remnants of veil when young; lamellae insertion free, thin, crowded, pink (5R 8/4) when young, finally moderate brown to dark brown (5YR 4/4-3/2), edge pale and sterile; trama parallel to irregular. Stipe 25-45 x 10-30 mm, central, solid, cylindrical, to widening at centre, base narrowing, surface smooth to fibrillose, white (N9.5) above annulus, browning below annulus (5YR 4/4-3/2). Annulus double: lower brownish (5YR 4/4-3/2), peronate, prominent; upper white (N9.5), pendant, surface fibrillose, indistinct. Flesh slowly becoming reddish brown (5R5/8-2.5YR5/8) on cutting or on bruising; odour and taste pleasant. Schaffer's cross-reaction negative.
