The cap is about 30 mm wide, "grayish," and viscid when wet. The cap's margin is striate (up to 35% of radius).
stem
The stem is about 80 × 3 - 5 mm, white, and decorated with small grayish white fibrils. The volva at the stem's base is sack-like, white, and sheathing.
spores
The spores of this species measure (8.3-) 8.5 - 10.6 (-11.0) × (6.4-) 6.6 - 8.4 (-8.7) µm and are broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid and inamyloid. Clamps are not to be found at bases of basidia.

intro
Olive text indicates a specimen that has not been
thoroughly examined (for example, for microscopic details) and marks other places in the text
where data is missing or uncertain.
The following material is based on original research of R. E. Tulloss.
pileus
3 mm wide, grayish, umbonate, viscid when wet; context ??; margin striate (0.35R); universal veil absent.
stipe
80 × 3 - 5 mm, white, with whitish to grayish fibrils; exannulate; universal veil saccate, white, “close to stipe.”

Information to support the viewer in reading the content of "technical" tabs

Each spore data set is intended to comprise a set of measurements from a single specimen made by a single observer;
and explanations prepared for this site talk about specimen-observer pairs associated with each data set.
Combining more data into a single data set is non-optimal because it obscures observer differences
(which may be valuable for instructional purposes, for example) and may obscure instances in which
a single collection inadvertently contains a mixture of taxa.
