This is one of the most striking boletes with a long stipe that is shaggy reticulate with amastomosing pleates, a relatively small pileus (in relation to the size of the stipe) that is rusty brown, strongly tomentose-areolate, and very long tubes. The spores are strongly longitudinally striate with deep grooves, quite different from the spores in Boletellus intermedius.
