The stalk of this fungus can be as tall as 15 cm and as wide as a dinner plate (in countries other than Latvia). It grows on stumps, mostly deciduous, from July to September. Spore powder is red-brown. Inedible. This fungus is very rare in this country and is included in the Red Data Book of Latvia. One growth site has been found near the town of Baldone by the author of this website. Another one has been found by the photographer about a dozen kilometers away.

Neēdama piepe. Ļoti reta suga, ierakstīta Latvijas Sarkanajā grāmatā un Aizsargājamo sugu sarakstā. Vienu atradni uzgājusi šīs vietnes autore Baldones lauku teritorijā (ap 2000. gadu; pēdējais apsekojums 2007. gadā, ar pozitīvu rezultātu), vēl citu atradni - šīs vietnes fotogrāfs Daugmales pagastā (2011. gadā).
