The cap is initially hemispherical, later flattening out. It is covered by a sticky shiny layer which sometimes weathers off in old specimens. The pores are at first light yellow but turn olive to dark yellow later on and grow down the stalk a little. The stalk grows to a height of about 6 to 12 cm and to a width of about 1 to 2.5 cm. As it pushes up through the pine needles the mushroom looks like a glazed yeast bun, and hence its popular name.
