The cap is brownish to brownish-ocher, sometimes with white veil remnants at the center. The remnants on the cap are sometimes described as a grayish to whitish, Kleenex-like coating of fibers on the cap

This mushroom is closely related to the genus Cortinarius.
The spore color, attached gills,
shape, size, and habitat (mycorrhizal with pine and oak) are similar.
The only major difference is that Rozites have a membranous ring instead of the cobwebby partial veil remnants that are characteristic of Cortinarius.

This mushroom can sometimes be confused with:
1) Agaricus, but Agaricus have chocolate brown spores and free gills.
2) Pholiota, but Pholiota have purple-brown spores and normally grow on wood.


The cap is at first domed and closed by a substantial fleshy membranous ring , the cap becomes convex and eventually flattens with a broad umbo. Color: Yellowish buff or brownish ochre with a paler margin,
The dry cap surface is covered in pale fibres and often develops fine wrinkles when fully expanded.(from www.first-nature.com)

The spore is rusty brown spore print
(Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of a spore print).

The gills often appear crisped or wavy.

The crowded gills are adnexed to the stem. Initially a pale clay color, the gills darken gradually as the spores mature and eventually become mid brown or cinnamon. Because the spores may not all ripen together, sometimes the gills develop dark patches reminiscent of some members of the genus Pholiota. (from www.first-nature.com)



.

The stipe is whitish to creamy or pale yellow and fibrillose, especially below the ring.

This mushroom has a persistent white membranous ring and a white universal veil that often leaves a thin whitish coating on the cap and a slight membranous rim around the base of the stipe (from Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest)

The stipe or stem s typically 6-12 cm long and 1-2 cm in diameter over most of its length, is slightly swollen at the base. The stem surface is white or very pale buff, as is the stem ring which is initially attached to the rim cap so concealing the young gills. The ring, which is persistent, is positioned just above the mid point of the stem.
Fine white longitudinal fibres give the upper part of the stem a matt surface, while much larger fibres near the base create an even more shaggy appearance. (from www.first-nature.com)
