The mushroom cap is 6–10 cm (2.5–4 in) wide, convex then flat or uplifted, and yellow then yellow-brown.[1] The gills are notched, crowded, yellow then brown as the spores mature.[1] The stalk is 5–10 cm tall and 1.5–3 cm wide, club-shaped, and sometimes tinted blue.[1]
It should not be consumed due to its similarity to deadly poisonous species.[1]
