Cap initially flattened with a depressed center. It is sticky when young, later becoming almost dry. The edge remains rolled in for a long time. The colour ranges from yellowish-white to pale ochre and sometimes has a faint pinkish tint. The flesh is white to pale yellow and firm. Gills dense, slightly decurrent, white to yellowish-white with a very faint pinkish hue. Stem cylindrical, often hollow, and usually curved at the base. It shares the same colour as the gills and often has a greyish-yellow ring zone near the top, just below the gills. When young, the stem is sticky. Older mushrooms develop light brown spots and often exhibit pits on the stem.
