The mushroom cap can reach up to 11 cm in diameter. When the fruiting body is young, it has a bell-shaped, then semicircular shape, and flat in old age. Color: cream, light cream, white, light ocher. During the dry season, the surface of the hat is cracked. Young fruiting bodies have a fairly long shell which covers the cap and covers the gills. The hat is thin, delicate and brittle.

The mushroom cap can be up to 10 cm in diameter. As with most of the geese family, at the beginning it has the shape of a bell, with age it opens up to become flat or concave with age. It may have a slight bulge at the tip. The surface of the hat is covered with distinctive colors ranging from gray-black to brown-black. The closer to the edge the cap becomes lighter to achieve almost white at the edges.
