Description

The cap is 3.5 cm across, hemispheric to convex, and incurved when young. Tan at first, becoming light gray in age. The gills are adnexed and close, gray to black. The stem is 8 to 12 cm long and 1 to 3 cm thick and pale yellow, staining blue where bruised. This mushroom is very similar to Panaeolus tropicalis.

It has been reported in Hawaii, Louisiana, Florida, Australia, India, Mexico, Bolivia, the Philippines, Thailand, France, and Brazil, and is probably more widely distributed.
