features
The hat is thick, hemispherical when young with a long curled edge, later depressed with a slight hump and old wavy shape with a diameter of 5 to 15, rarely up to 20 centimeters. The hat skin is largely removable. The surface is cream-colored to pink, stronger in the middle, a little orange in color and greasy-slimy and a little sticky when wet, silky matt when dry. The lamellae are narrow, waxy and whitish to cream-colored with a salmon-pink shimmer. They are broad to short, growing in a weld-like collar on the stem. Their edges are smooth. The stem is 3 to 12 centimeters long and 2.5 centimeters thick and may be cylindrical from above and otherwise spindle-like, bulbous and pointed downwards and roots in the substrate. The surface is whitish to cream-colored with pink nuances and the tip is often covered with protruding droplets in damp weather . Its meat smells pleasantly sweet and fruity (like “ Peruvian balsam ”) and tastes mild.
The spores are translucent ( hyaline ), broadly ellipsoid, with a smooth surface and measure 7 to 10 by 5 to 6 micrometers.
