  • cap The cap is 58 - 74 mm wide, whitish to cream to yellowish cream, with light brown or sordid yellow or yellowish tan in the center, moist, and umbonate.  Its flesh is white, 4 - 7 mm thick over the stem.  The cap's margin flares upward with age and is striate (with striations (30%-) 40 - 50% of pileus radius).  The volva appears infrequently on the cap as a white patch over the center.
    gills The gills are free, close, 4.5 - 6 mm broad, with fimbriate margins. We have no information on short gills at this time.
    stem The stem is 91 - 143 × 7 - 10 mm, dull whitish, and lacks a ring.  The volva at the stem base is sack-like (e.g., 35 × 13.5 mm), ample, white (in one specimen, with some golden yellow patches, especially toward the base), with the sack's limb 0.5 - 2 mm thick, and with no internal limb of the volva observed.
    odor/taste Odorless.
    spores The spores measure (8.5-) 9.3 - 11.6 (-14.5) × (8.0-) 8.6 - 11.0 (-12.6) µm, and are globose to subglobose (rarely ellipsoid) and inamyloid.  No clamps are present at bases of basidia.
    discussion This species occurs solitarily, with Pine (Pinus) or in Oak-Hickory (Quercus-Carya) forest.

    This species has been found from the sandy forests of eastern Texas to as far north as Ha Ha Tonka St. Pk., Missouri.
