Orange inner side (hymenium), with flaps which extend to their stipe. It reaches a diameter of up to 3 to 6 cm.

Slim pedicel, shaped like a cone and orange, just like its hymenium, which contrasts with its dark brown cap; scaly on its end.

Cartilaginous nice smelling and tasting flesh. It’s a great food although it goes bad very fast.
