  Pileus The convex cap is 6–20 cm broad, covered with large brown scales. The flesh is thick, white, stains quickly red when bruised.
     
  Lamellae The gills are very close, at first red-gray, then red-brown and finally blackish brown.

  Odour and taste No specific smell, the taste is mild.

  NB. Unfortunately this very delicious mushroom is not very common in Finland nor in Sweden.
