Appearance
- Cap
- 5–12 cm across, initially rounded or hemispherical, becoming convex or flat with age. Color is variable, ranging from pale cream and yellowish beige to bright yellow or yellowish-orange. The surface is smooth and slightly viscid when moist, typically featuring white, felty patches or small warts of veil remnants that may easily wash or wipe off. The margin is faintly to finely lined.
- Gills
- White to pale cream, crowded, and range from free to narrowly attached (adnexed) to the stem.
- Stem
- 7–12 cm tall and 1–2 cm thick, widening toward a bulbous base. The surface is white to cream and can be smooth, woolly, or finely scaly below the ring.
- Partial veil
- A white to yellowish, membranous, skirt-like ring located on the upper stem. It is thin and often ephemeral, frequently disappearing or falling off as the mushroom matures.
- Volva
- A short, rimmed or collared membranous cup surrounding the bulbous stem base; sometimes fragments into cottony remnants.
