Medium to large mushroom, broadly club- to horn-shaped. Cap at maturity depressed at the center, with a wavy margin; surface dry, covered with large, reddish-orange scales (not actually “woolly”).

Habitat: Scattered or in small groups. Most often in old-growth Douglas-fir forests.
Scent: Mild
Spores: Ochre
Season: Autumn
