Pileus [solitary] hemispherical, at length expanded and subconvex, yellow-brown, dusty at the summit (white it is slightly umbonate) and at the edges, where it is nearly black - blackish-brown, with a white pruinose. more than 1 inch in diameter; flocculent, and in a shallow larger Gills cinnamon-brown, pale at the very margin, waved where they join the margin: lie in a set, broader near the stem, to which they are attached by a very narrow process. Stipe oval, pale yellowish-brown, darker at the ends. Stem 2 inches in height, distinctly striated above, the ribs pale and scaly with very minute scales; brown, as also internal, hollow. Odour as of fish. a solitary specimen was found at 22 April 1839. The absence of this mycelium was probably accidental.
