On closer examination of the underside of the cap of a thin pig, or rather a hymenophore, one can notice that it is folded, not lamellar, although it is often described in various sources as lamellar. It is formed not by real, but by pseudo-plates. It is easy to separate it from the surface of the cap, which is not possible with real plates. The color of the pseudo-plates is usually lighter than the color of the cap. Under mechanical action - pressure, they darken.

The flesh of the pig is brown; it darkens at the site of the cut. Leg up to 9 cm, directed sideways. Tapers towards soil. Harvesting is carried out from mid-summer to mid-autumn.
