The flesh is whitish to tan, unchanging; its taste is mild, mealy; the odour is strong, also mealy; its texture is fibrous. The gills are white then cream to ochre-yellow, adnate to more or less decurrent, quite broad, regularly crowded . The spore print is white. This species is saprophytic. It grows on the ground, in grassy areas or edges of coniferous woods, on bare ground or former fireplaces, on a rather acid soil. The fruiting period takes place from April to November.
