Subvilis means very cheap, insignificant.
The pileus is thin, centrally depressed or umbilicate, with the margin decurved, hygrophanus, dark-brown, striate on the margin when moist, taste farinaceous.
The gills are subdistant, adnate, or slightly decurrent, whitish when young, then flesh-colored.
The stem is slender, brittle, rather long, stuffed or hollow, glabrous, colored like the pileus or a little paler.
The spores are angular, 7.5–10µ. Peck, 42d Rept.
