Measuring 3–10 centimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 – 3 + 7 ⁄ 8 in) in diameter, the greyish or brownish-grey cap [5] is initially bell-shaped, is furrowed, and later splits. The colour is more brownish in the centre of the cap, which later flattens before melting. The very crowded gills are free; they are whitish at first but rapidly turn black and ...
It is a large, imposing mushroom, [4] with a convex cap 3–11 cm (1–4.5 in) in diameter with a boss. [7] The cap is sticky when wet and has an irregularly lobed margin.

The cap is serrated and colored white on very young mushrooms. It breaks open with increasing age, so that the beige to dark brown background emerges. Remnants of the white, grayish to cream-colored velum remain on the cap as flakes, giving the impression of woodpecker or magpie plumage. With age, the brim of the cap rolls up and dissolves.
The young mushrooms, before the gills start to turn black, are a choice edible mushroom, [13] but should be prepared soon after being collected as the black areas quickly turn bitter. [14] The taste is mild; cooking produces a large quantity of liquid. It can sometimes be used in mushroom soup with parasol mushroom.
