Hat: from 4 to 7 cm in diameter, while the mushroom is young – hemispherical, later – flattened, somewhat depressed; the thin edge is first wrapped, and then hangs slightly. Dry reddish-brown skin, somewhat velvety in young specimens, smooth and easily cracked in mature specimens.
Laminae: Thick, bridged, with a waxy feel, labyrinthinely branched, descending, yellow-gold.
Stem: Cylindrical, curved, with longitudinal ribs, yellowish to buff, with fine fibers of the same color as the cap.
Flesh: not very firm, purple-brown on the cap and yellowish-white on the stalk, low odor and taste.
In summer, it grows in a group under oak, chestnut and less often under conifers.
A completely edible mushroom, but without any culinary value due to its rarity and low fleshiness.
