Cap: At first hemispherical, then convex and finally becomes flat, sometimes with a small tubercle. The color is white at first, later darkening to yellow-brown. The edge of the hat is even. The diameter is usually 1-2 cm.

Leg: thin 1-3 mm. thick, white above, yellowish below, hollow, hard, very long – up to 10 cm, most of the stem is immersed in the substrate.
Its underground part is covered with dense long hairs. If you try to carefully dig up a mushroom with a “root”, then an old pine cone is always found at the end.
Pulp: light, thin, without much taste and smell.
It lives exclusively under pine trees, on old pine cones immersed in the soil. Appears in spring and grows until late autumn in the entire territory where pines grow.
The hat is quite edible, the leg is very hard.
