A robust Mallocybe with a pileus reaching up to 7 cm in diameter, developing from subglobose to applanate at maturity. Cuticle tomentose, pale brown or ochre, losing the tomentum with age and sometimes turning paler in its final stages.

Stipe slightly fibrillose, concolorous with the pileus, adorned with a ring-like zone formed by veil remnants.

The specimens in this study were found in Zeanuri (Bizkaia), in a flood-prone area under Salix atrocinerea, in the month of October.
