cap The cap is 13 - 24 mm wide, pale beige, and planoconvex; the cap's flesh is beige under pileipellis, else white, and less than 3.5 mm thick above the stem.  The cap margin is striate (about 30 - 55% of radius).  The volval remnants are in the form of easily removed warts, are very pale, and are faintly sordid beige.
gills The gills are free, subcrowded, pale cream in mass, white in side view, unchanging, and up to 2 mm broad.  The short gills are truncate to subtruncate.
stem The stem is 28 - 41 × 1.5 - 2.5 mm, white to pale beige, tannish from handling, minutely fibrillose (10× lens), minutely striate (10× lens) lengthwise, and lacks an annulus.  The stem's bulb is 3 - 6 × 4 - 7.5 mm, subglobose, and subabrupt.  The flesh of the stem is white, and volval remnants are not evident.
odor/taste There is no available information on the odor of this species.
spores The spores of the present species measure (7.5-) 8.0 - 10.0 (-10.8) × (5.2-) 5.8 - 7.0 (-7.2) µm and are mostly ellipsoid (occasionally broadly ellipsoid) and inamyloid.  Clamps are probably absent from the bases of basidia.
