Quite a popular fungus on the Barff, Tan to light brown in colour. When young they are almost round or bulbous and flatten out to become parasol shaped as they grow. At this young stage they can look similar to some species of Amanita. The caps are large, up to 50 cm across when fully grown. They develop a scaly surface, with a prominent central umbo as they mature. The flesh sometimes goes pinkish when cut. Visible from July to the end of October.
