Pileus membranaceous, conical, then campanulate, at length expanded, obtuse, striate, greyish-brown or livid-grey, rarely whitish, glabrous, 1-1.5 cm. across; gills free or very slightly adnexed, narrow, ventricose, crowded, white; stem 6-10 cm. long, very slender, equal, rather fragile, flaccid, glabrous, whitish, base rooting, fibrillose, hollow.

Distribution
