The convex cap is 3.5–9 centimetres (1+1⁄2–3+1⁄2 in) wide and brownish. The pores are whitish, darkening with age. The stem is 3.5–9 cm tall and 1–2 cm thick. The flesh is white with a mild scent. The spore print is yellowish brown.[3]
It may resemble X. purpureum, Boletus separans, and Tylopilus felleus.[3]
