They appear in different shapes depending on their stage of development. The mushroom is similar to a pointed ogive when very young; later, a cap forms, supported by a stalk that is slightly widened at the base. When mature, the cap opens like an umbrella and the lower gills appear. A soft ring remains on the stalk, which becomes woody.
Drumsticks can reach up to half a meter in height. They grow both summer and autumn, in sparse woodlands or meadows.
