Corn surface is smooth and the skin surface is flat or slightly raised, pale yellow or dark yellow, translucent. The tip of the cone protrudes into the skin and is wedge-shaped, and the bottom surface is flat and exposed to the outside of the skin. If the horny material on the surface is peeled off with force, a hard needle-shaped horny plug can be seen in the center, with a transparent yellowish ring around the outer circumference.
