Pileus was for the most part neither convex nor conical, but plane. Margin of pileus was off-white while the center was dark orange-brown. Surface of pileus featured irregular shaped crater like divots. Pileus was velvet-like to the touch and cork-like when pressed. Dark orange-brown liquid on surface of pileus.
