The diameter of this mushroom usually varies from 5 to 20 cm. Spore powder is ochre-brown. The mushroom has white scales on the stalk, and its cap sometimes has pink tinge. It grows in mixed forests from August to October. (I have found it under spruce and pine in quite a damp place.) It is rare in Latvia. This mushroom is edible and tasty. One can fry it without boiling just like many edible boletes.

Cepama bez iepriekšējas novārīšanas, marinējama, kaltējama, tomēr to labāk nevajadzētu vākt, jo ir reta.
