Cap 6–8 cm, orange-ochre, smooth, flattening with age. Gills white to cream, close, and clearly free of the stipe — very well shown in the backlit frames. Stipe pale and slender.

Habitat & substrate

Green low herbs and litter under mixed canopy.

White gills under an orange cap, with the gills free of the stipe. The backlit frames are the most informative photographs on the walk.
