The stems of the mushrooms are long and thin, tapering off towards the ground. They are light-colored like the caps but appear to have a pinkish hue on their undersides. The spore prints are not visible in this image, but they are typically white or yellowish-white. The background is filled with dry brown oak leaves that have fallen from the trees above.
