[Zeller, 1922: “Pileus 6-12 cm. broad, subhemispheric at first, then convex to quite plane,
moderately fleshy, young buttons quite solid, acajon-red to Vandyke red at the center,
venetian or alizarine-pink on the margin, often fading to a silvery livid-pink in age;
cuticle on margins of older specimens split; surface appearing velvety because of the
innate-pubescence towards the center, nearly glabrous or silky on the margin or
squamulose when closely covered by another pileus, becoming slightly appressed-scaly
in age due to growth. Margin sterile. Flesh white, rather thin except disk. Gills free,
white, close, broad, rounded behind, edges even. Stem 5-10 cm. long, 8-12 mm. thick,
equal or tapering upward, slightly bulbose, peronate by a thin membrane colored like this
pileus about one half to two thirds of the way up to the rather large, flaring, rather fleshy
persistent annulus, white within, white to pinkish above the annulus. Spores smooth,
white, oblong, 3-4.5 x 5-8 µ, usually uniguttulate. Pleasant flavor. Odor mildly
farinescens.” ]
