Morphology & Key Features

• Cap (Pileus): Measures 1–4 cm in diameter. Starting conical and becoming convex or broadly umbonate with age. The cap surface is smooth, slightly sticky when moist, and ranges in color from olive-brown to chestnut-brown. The cap usually fading to yellowish tones when dry. The margin is striated when moist and may develop a greenish tint.

• Gills: Gills are adnate to adnexed, closely spaced, and moderately broad. They transition from yellowish-brown in youth to violet-brown or chocolate-brown as they mature. 

• Stipe (Stem): The 2–7.5 cm long and 1.5–6 mm thick stem is typically yellowish to brown. Often developing bluish bruising, particularly below its fragile, membranous ring.

• Spore Print: Produces a dark purple-brown spore print, with elliptical, smooth spores measuring 8–12 x 6–8 micrometers.
