The cap of A. cinctipes is 45 - 120 mm wide, becoming plano-convex with depressed center, subviscid; margin sulcate-striate (approximately 25 - 60% of radius). The cap is mouse gray to pale grayish brown, darker greyish brown to fuligineous umber at center. The flesh is 3 - 4 mm thick above the stem, membranous in the striate area, and white.

The gills are free, crowded, 3 - 11 mm wide, white to grayish.

The stem is 90 - 200 mm high, 10 - 17 mm wide at base, 6 - 13 mm at apex, hollow, rather fragile, exannulate, entirely pale or dark grayish to grayish brown, paler near apex, with darker, appressed, fibrillose scales.

"Monkeys were observed to eat this species without discomfort."

The spores from dried material measure 8.2 - 11.1 x 7.8 - 10.1 µm (from fresh material, 9 - 11 µm wide) and are globose to subglobose. Clamps were not observed at the bases of basidia.

This species was described from lowland forest in Malaya and Singapore.
