Description
The cap is round or convex when young, later becoming broadly convex, flat, or depressed. It is wine-red to purplish in colour and is about 3-10 centimeters in diameter.[2] The gills are white to cream-colored and adnate, subdecurrent, or adnexed. The spore print is cream-colored.[3] The stipe is a similar color to the cap and is about 3-8 centimeters long and 0.5-1.8 centimeters wide.[4] The flesh is white.[2] The scent is fruity, but the taste is acrid.[5]
