Description
The cap is hemispherical when young, which later becomes convex. The colour can be wine-red and is usually 5 to 6 cm in diameter but can be up to 10 cm. The gills are white, which are brittle, and the spores are cream. The stem is a similar colour to the cap and evenly thick. The flesh is white and the scent is fruity.
