This differs from the type in its cinereo-rufescent pileus, less turgid,
dirty-white stem, which has brownish innate fibres, and in being tinged
with red, especially near the base. In some of these characters it agrees
with A. sudus, Fr., from which it differs in its undulating pileus, distant
gills, and often rooting stem. The whole plant is fragile, the gills have a
cinereous tinge, usually at length becoming rufescent. It frequently has a
powerful odour of new meal, and is intermediate between A. sudus and A.
tumidus, but is nearer the latter.
