Contrary webcap is recognizable by its honey to rusty-brown cap, adorned with darker radial fibers. As it matures, the cap's shape transitions from convex to broadly bell-shaped. It features gills underneath that are spaced and exhibit a similar coloring to the cap. The slender, tall stem often shows a cobweb-like veil at a young age. Contrary webcap typically thrives in mossy coniferous forests.
