Gills decurrent, distant, broad; white drying dirty, dark yellow. Stem 30-60 x 5-8mm, wider at the top, tapering slightly toward base; white; smooth and dry. Flesh fragile; white. Odor very strong, cedar-like. Taste rather medicinal, like cedar. Spores broadly ellipsoid, nonamyloid, 6.5-8 x 5-6ì. Deposit white. Habitat under conifers. Rare. Found in Oregon and New Jersey.

Comment This species is recognized by its most distinctive smell; possibly it is much more common than I have indicated, but it has not yet been recorded from other areas. The European species Hygrophorus russocoriaceus Berk. & Miller also has the strong cedar-wood smell, but the spores are longer and narrower and the fungus smaller.
