Lamellae crowded, free, white to 'cream', margin entire, 6- 10 mm wide, lamellulae subtruncate. Stipe 40-140 mm high, 5-25 mm diameter, tapering slightly at apex, hollow, from sub-bulbous, or occasion- ally abruptly bulbous base, 10-30 mm diameter, surface above annulus white, sparsely floccose, occasionally breaking into transverse bands, below annulus smooth or occasionally breaking into bands or fibrillose scales, white, sordid white, buff or greyish sepia streaked with mouse-grey, base with or without a band or rim of buff to greyish sepia volva remnants. Annulus membranous, striate, white, sordid white, buff, greyish sepia or lavender-grey, pendulous then adhering to stipe, often tearing and adhering to pileus edge. Context of pileus white or stained mouse-grey under the disc, occasionally with a grey line above lamellae, stipe white to pale buff.

Spore print white. Basidiospores (929/78), (6.5-)7.5-9(-13) x (6.5-)7.5-9(-13) µm, Qm 1.05, Q 1.00-1.16(-1.40), globose to broadly ellipsoid, occasionally ellipsoid, thin- walled, hyaline, amyloid. Basidia 30.5-57 x (6.5-)8-16 µm, 4-spored, rarely less, not clamped. Lamella margin cells numerous, 13-58 X 8-33 µm, globose, clavate or sphaeropedunculate, hyaline. Pileipellis consisting of 130-220 µm wide, strongly gelatinised suprapellis and dense, non-gelatinised subpellis. Volva remnants on pileus consisting of abundant globose, elliptic and clavate cells, 21-119 x 14.5-115 µm, intermixed with 4-9 µm wide hyphae, pale umber and either irregularly arranged, or tending to vertically orientated.
