The cap is whitish grey to brownish grey (at the disk), convex, then flattened and later slightly depressed; its margin is incurved for a long time, obtuse, then coarsely furrowed with age, and sometimes slightly wavy. The cap surface is smooth, matt, dry, finely downy to pruinose. The stem is concolorous with cap, cylindrical, full then hollow, pruinose, cylindrical, with a white cotonous mycelial web above a pointy and smooth base, without ring. The flesh is whitish, unchanging; its taste is mild to unpleasant-rancid; the odour is faint, mild-fruity in the youth, later unpleasant, of rancid, fish, or sawdust impregnated with mouse urine; its texture is fibrous. The gills are white-grey to buff-grey, adnate to slightly decurrent, fairly crowded . The spore print is white. This species is saprophytic. It grows on the ground, in coniferous or mixed woods, on a rather calcareous soil, with pines. The fruiting period takes place from July to November.
