In the Lepiota family, this is one of the more distinctive species. When young it is almost entirely coral pink or orangish brown, and has an egg-shaped to conical cap. As it matures, however, the cap color begins to break up, resulting in the familiar Lepiota family fibers and scales over a pale background. The center of the cap, however, remains evenly colored and dark, although the scaly fibers elsewhere may fade to orangish or coral pink.
