The gills are almost free, adnexed to the top of the cone, linear, very narrow, tawny or ferruginous.
The stem is three to four inches long, hollow, slightly tapering upward, straight, fragile, white pruinose, whitish. Spores are elliptical, 11–12×5–6µ.
This plant resembles G. ovalis, from which it can be distinguished by its linear ascending gills and the absence of a veil.
Found on dung and in richly manured pastures, from July to frost.
