 The fruitbody of Macrolepiota clelandii has a cap that is initially egg-shaped, later becoming convex and then flattened in maturity, reaching diameters of 7.6 – 12.5 cm (3.0 – 4.9 in). It has a dark brown umbo and small dark brown scales that show the whitish flesh underneath. These scales are arranged in concentric rings that become increasingly crowded until the umbo, which is completely covered in scales. Small fragments of the partial veil may be left hanging on the cap margin.
