Described as new to science in 2009, it is found only in the Gulf Coast of the Florida Panhandle, where it grows on the ground in coastal sand dunes, one of only three North American boletes known to favor this habitat.

The pores on the underside of the cap measure about 1–2 mm in diameter and are initially pale yellow before developing a greenish tinge in age.

The white to very pale yellow cap flesh does not change color when exposed to air, and has a pleasant odor and mild taste.

The tubes comprising the hymenophore on the underside of the cap measure 3–8 mm (0.1–0.3 in) long and are pale yellow initially before developing a greenish tinge in age.

Grayish-yellow or greenish yellow when mounted in a dilute potassium hydroxide, they are dextrinoid (yellowish- or reddish-brown) when stained with Melzer's reagent.

Pleurocystidia (cystidia on the surface of the tubes) range in shape from somewhat spindle-shaped to cylindrical, and are hyaline, smooth, and thin-walled, with dimensions of 41.4–61.2 by 7.2–10.8 μm.

[1] The bulbous base, large spores, and distinctive habitat are characteristic features that make this species readily distinguishable from other boletes.

The species is known only from the Gulf Coast of the Florida Panhandle, where fruiting occurs on older sand dunes, particularly in areas where the habit changes from coastal scrub to oak-pine woods.
