Hebeloma hiemale has a pale brownish or buff cap that can be convex or umbonate. The cap is about 1.5-5 centimeters in diameter. [1] The stipe is about 3-8 centimeters long and up to 1.5 centimeters wide. [2] The gills are sinuate and start out pale, becoming brown in age. [1] The spore print is brown. [2] This mushroom smells slightly of radishes. [3]

Habitat and ecology

Hebeloma hiemale is a mycorrhizal fungus that forms symbiotic relationships with both conifers and hardwoods. It fruits from spring until fall, and sometimes into winter if it is warm enough. [2]
