"As the button stage is reached, the upper part expands into the cap. The stem is shown as a short cylinder. The gills are formed within the upper part of the button and are first covered by the outside mass which stretches as the cap expands to form the veil. Finally this veil breaks exposing the gills on the underside and hangs down on the upper part of the stem as the collar or annulus."
