* They have a smooth surface with a slight sheen.
* The color is brownish-fawn, ranging from light to dark shades.
* The edges of the caps are scalloped or wavy.
* **Stems:**

* They are about the same length as the gills but slightly thicker at the base.
* The stems are attached to the cap by a small annulus (ring).
* **Gills:**
* The gills are crowded, narrow, and free from the stem.
* They are initially pale pinkish-brown in color but turn brown with age.
* The gills are not decurrent (not extending down the stem).
* **Habitat:**
* The mushrooms are growing on the ground among leaf litter and twigs.
* There is no visible mycelium or roots connecting the mushrooms to other organisms.
* **Size:**
* The caps range from 0.5 to 1.5 inches (1.3 to 3.8 cm) in diameter.
