Smooth to velvety, convex, brown cap; cap flesh stains blue; pore surface bright yellow and sponge-like with very small pores, stains blue when first affected then turns brown; finely reticulate stipe that is light yellow, becoming scarlet red towards the base; when exposed to KOH cap turns bright red and inner flesh turns reddish-brown; taste not distinctive, slightly sour. Butyriboletus is a new genus within the family Boletaceae established in 2014 (Arora, 2014); the species was formerly known as Boletus speciosus var. brunneus. Morphologically similar to Butyriboletus peckii which is characterized by smaller reticulation on the stipe as well as a yellow coloration that turns red higher up the stipe.
