Description
The cap is between 1.5–5 cm, and grows from egg-shaped when young to broadly convex, finally ending up nearly flat.[1] The cap's color starts yellow or bright yellow, and fades to whitish or greyish with age.[2] The gills are free from the stem or narrowly attached to it, are fragile and soft, and fade from whitish or pale yellowish to rusty cinnamon with age.[1] The stem is 3–10 cm tall and 2–4 mm wide, is whitish-yellow with a fine mealy powdering, and is very delicate.[3]
