cap The cap is 42 mm wide, yellow to brownish yellow over disc, with a white margin, and not umbonate.  Its margin is striate for about 40-45% of the pileus radius).  The volva is often present on the cap as an easily removed small white patch or patches.
gills The gills are crowded, and cream in mass.  The short gills are truncate to subtrucate, unevenly distributed, of diverse lengths, and plentiful.
stem The stem is 98 × 8 mm, off-white, pinkish-brownish in age, subfloccose to subfibrillose, finely striate lengthwise, and lacks a ring.  At the stem's base the volva is sack-like, membranous, white on the outer surface, white above and yellow below on the inner surface, and attached only at the stem's very base.
spores The spores of this species measure (9.5-) 10.3 - 13.2 (-13.7) × 6.0 - 8.0 μm and are ellipsoid to elongate to (infrequently) cylindric and inamyloid.  Clamps are probably present on bases of basidia.
