Chipewa cha bowa chimatha kukhala m'mimba mwake mpaka 20 cm, kutalika kwa thupi la fruiting ndi pafupifupi 12 cm. Pali tokhala ndi tokhala pamwamba pa bowa, mu zitsanzo zazing'ono zimatha kukhala velvety pang'ono. Chovalacho ndi chabuluu chowala pamwamba, chakuda pansi, chosawoneka bwino, chimakhala ndi misana yaying'ono mpaka 4 mm kutalika. Bowa waung'ono amakhala ndi minga yofiirira kapena yabuluu, yomwe imakhala yakuda kapena yofiirira pakapita nthawi. Mwendo umakhalanso wofiirira, waufupi, womizidwa kwathunthu mu moss.
Hyndellum blue pachigawocho chimaperekedwa mumitundu ingapo - kumtunda ndi kumunsi kwa thupi kumakhala kofiirira, ndipo pakati kumakhala ndi buluu ndi buluu wowala. Zamkati sizikhala ndi fungo lapadera, zimakhala zolimba komanso zowuma kwambiri.
