The gills are attached to the stem, with a decurrent tooth, connected by veins, variously shaded.
The stem is hollow and compressed, rather even, not slippery, scarlet near the cap, yellow at the base.
This plant when young is of a bright scarlet, but it soon shades into a light-yellow with advancing age. It is quite fragile and varies very greatly in size in different localities. Found in woods and pastures from July to October.
