Pileus 25-60 mm diam., at first conical becoming convexo-umbonate or papillate, dark brown, drying light brown with reddish tints, at centre squamulose, towards the margin velvety or fibrillose, strongly striate, dry, hygrophanous. Lamellae (L -30, 1 3), free, ventricose beige when young turning pinkish-brown, gill edge concolorous. Stipe 40-80 x 2-6 mm, cylindrical or attenuated upwards, coloured like pileus or paler, densely covered especially near the base) with white fibrils, dry, fistulose, very brittle.

This species is related, through its general shape and colours, to E. porphyrescens Hk. but differs in microscopical characters. The extremely striate pileus and the brittle consistence of the carpophores are further typical features characterising E. translucidum.
