Macroscopic features
The hat reaches a width of 1.5–4 cm and a height of 3–4 cm. Very young specimens are initially egg-shaped and then shield up. The chalk-white surface is densely covered with floury-sticky, removable flakes. With age, the hat tears, frays and rolls up. The lamellas are initially white, then gray and finally black. The cylindrical stem is whitish and is up to 12 cm high and 2–6 mm wide. It is hollow, fragile and has a fine flaky layer. The meat ( trama ) is gray, very thin and without a distinctive odor.
Microscopic features
The spores are black, elliptical to almond-shaped and measure 15–19 × 8.5–11 × 11–14 µm in size.
