in a young mushroom, the cap has a conical or hemispherical shape. With age, the hat opens and becomes almost prostrate. The surface of the cap is variegated, very strongly cracked. From under the dark upper layer of the cap, you can see the pulp of white color. This gives the mushroom a sort of wadded look. The top layer of the cap has a brownish-gray color, which can be strongly, fluctuate in a gray or brown direction. The bottom layer is white. On the edges of the hat, you can see the remains of a white bedspread.
