Pileus of a pale reddish tan, 2-3 in. across, dry, elastic, at first convex, then
umbonate, depressed, or quite infundibuliform, with traces of the umbo,
variously crisped and lobed, margin involute and downy, the whole clothed
with a delicate closely woven web, which is often pinched up at the margin

expanded. Flesh moderately thick in the centre, colour of the pilens. Gills
