The gills have black edges along the entirety of each gill. The stem is white and has no ring, with brown-grey longitudinal striation, more at the top near cap. The cap is convex, smooth/slimy, dark brown and about ~2-2.5 inches in diameter. The spores are a salmon colour, the pleurocystidia vary in shape from antlered to flask shaped, and the cap pillus is trichopalisade.
