• ▸ Pure white to ivory convex cap that becomes funnel-shaped with age
• ▸ Firm white flesh that stains ochre-brown, especially towards the base
• ▸ Decurrent, crowded cream-white gills
• ▸ Short, stout, often buried base
• ▸ Faint, oily or fishy odour

One of the largest and most robust brittlegills, often growing partly buried in moss and pine litter, making it easy to overlook until the cap breaks the surface.
