Pileus umbrella-shaped, at length recurved at the margin and very concave above, white, the margin and edges of the gills at length cinnamon coloured. Gills subdecurrent, white, at length tinged at the edges and ventricose. Stem subfistulatus or loosely stuffed, white, bulbulous at the base. Pileus about 1 inch in diameter, at first firm, white and convex, the margin at length revolvent, here and there, become torn and at length the pileus is cup shaped above; the margins to turn in to be ventricose, hence the gills seen through give it a striated appearance. Gills in 2 sets, somewhat decurrent, abutting toward the margin and tapering a brown color; ventricose in the middle. Stipe subbulbical, colourless, gelidic. Stem 1-1/2 inches high, smooth, loose stuffed or somewhat hollow above, with evident branched cotyledons about the bulb. Odour faintly as of A. Camphoratus. Flesh white, not considerable. Altered to A. dealbatus Sacc. t. 123 but the edges of the gills do not remain white; and the pileus more recurved
