The yellowish to peachy cap is 4–15 centimetres (1+12–6 in) wide. The stem is 5–10 cm (2–4 in) tall and 1–2.5 cm (12–1 in). The flesh is yellow and can stain blue. [4]

From July to September, it can be found in eastern North America under hardwood trees, mostly oak. [4]

While edible, it is not recommended as it could be confused with toxic species. [5]
