Dermoloma bellerianum has a tricholomatoid fruitbody.
The cap is gray, up to 50 mm, often with a darker center and sometimes umbonate. Stem up to 60 mm with a tapering base. Smells farinaceous.
The spores are 5-6 μm and not amyloid compared to Porpoloma metapodium with which it can be confused. D. bellerianum can be confused with D. cuneifolium, but the latter has four-spored basidia while D. bellerianum mostly are two-spored. The fungus on the picture is determined by DNA-sequencing.

Ecology/Indicator value

It grows in unfertilized grasslands often together with a number of other rare and redlisted species and is probably a good indicator.

It is seldom in South-Western Norway where it is found only on a few localities.
