The mushroom cap is 3–9 cm wide, conical when young and then umbonate, reddish to violet-brown, often with a white-edged margin, smooth (possibly silky in appearance) and dry, with a mild odor.[4] The gills adnate or notched, violet then brown.[4] The stalk is 7–15 cm (3–6 in) tall and 1–2 cm wide, equal or thicker at the base, tinted violet, dry, and partly covered by whitish remnants of partial veil.[4] The spores are brown and elliptical.[4]
Its edibility is unknown, but eating this mushroom is not recommended due to related species which are deadly poisonous.[4][5]
Similar species include Cortinarius brunneus, C. obtusus, and C. vernus.[4]
