Appearance

Characterised by a distinctive reddish shaggy cap, it grows in eucalypt woodlands. It produces a brown spore print, and has fusiform spores that are 16–20 by 7–9 μm with longitudinal grooves. It is similar in appearance to "Boletellus ananiceps", but the latter species is scaly rather than shaggy, has a pinkish tint, and lacks grooves in the spores.
