The colors range from burnt orange to chocolate-brown on the upper margins and white beneath.  The flesh is brittle and white.  The stalk is large and broad with a slightly larger base; somewhat ribbed and nearly hollow to cottony inside.  Its preferred habitat is under hardwood forests at low elevations.

This plant is extremely poisonous.
