Hat:
The diameter of the elm gypsizigus cap is usually 5-10 cm, sometimes up to 25 cm. The cap is fleshy, first convex, with a rolled edge, then prostrate, sometimes eccentric, whitish, light beige, covered with characteristic “watery” spots. The pulp is white, elastic, with a distinct “ordinary” smell.
Records:
Slightly lighter caps, frequent, adnate with a tooth.
Spore powder:
White.
Leg:
4-8 cm long, up to 2 cm thick, often curved, fibrous, cap-colored or lighter, filled with age or hollow, may be pubescent at the base.
Elm gypsizigus is found in August-September both on rotting wood and on the soil at the roots of living trees. Like many other representatives of this genus, it is often found in large families.
