The flesh is pallid lemon-yellow, unchanging, moderate, and soft. Pores at first pallid lemon-yellow, becoming more ochraceous and tinged rust where bruised, angular, small. Tubes are pallid yellow and slightly decurrent. Stem cream-coloured turning to reddish-brown with a cream-white ring which is superior and pointing upwards. Spore print ochre or sienna-brown.
