Description
The cap of A. umbrinolutea is usually free of volval remnants, 4.5–9 centimetres (2–3+1⁄2 inches) wide, at first conico-paraboloid, then somewhat campanulate to convex and finally planar, umbonate, with a strongly striate margin (occupying around 25–35% of the cap's radius).[1] The cap is often dark in the center, then pale, then dark over the inner edges of the lamellae and on the ridges between the marginal striations; it can at other times be pallid in the center, but strongly zonate; the pigmentation intensity varies, with the center ranging from umber to grayish umber-brown to beige or pale grayish brown. The gills are free, crowded, off-white to sordid pale cream in mass, and up to 6 millimetres (1⁄4 in) broad; the short gills are truncate, vary in length, and are scattered and unevenly distributed.[1]
The stem is 11.5–18.5 cm (4+1⁄2–7+1⁄2 in) × 6–11 mm, pale cream to pale beige or isabella color or pale grayish brown, with a faint appressed zigzag girdles of fibrils, with a fleshy membranous sack-like volva at the base. The 3–4 cm (1–1+1⁄2 in) high volva is attached to the bottom 5 mm or so of the stipe. The spores measure 10.5–13.4 × 9.5–12.5 (1.05–1.34 x 0.95–1.25 cm) μm and are subglobose (infrequently either globose or broadly ellipsoid) and inamyloid. Clamps are absent from the bases of basidia.
