The cap is very dark blue to blackish, convex then expanded, finally depressed; its margin is striate when moist or old. The stem is same colour as cap, fibrillose, with black spots at the top and a white down at the base, without ring. The flesh is blue to blue-grey; its taste is mild; the odour is weak, fruity, pleasant; its texture is fibrous. The gills are blue to blue grey, then pink, with toothed blackish edge, adnate, emarginate to decurrent, rather distant (nb of gills per 90° ~ 10 ). The spore print is pink. This species is saprophytic. It grows on the ground, in the grass of natural grassland, pastures, clearings or meadows, on a rather variable soil. The fruiting period takes place from July to November.
