Boletus pinki-wofiirira ali ndi mtundu wosagwirizana: maziko a imvi kapena azitona-imvi ndi vinyo, madera ofiira-bulauni kapena pinki. Ngati mutakanikiza pamwamba pa bowa, ndiye kuti idzaphimbidwa ndi mawanga akuda. Nthawi zambiri imawonongeka ndi tizilombo, ndipo thupi lachikasu limatha kuwoneka m'malo awa.
Chosanjikiza cha tubular ndi mandimu-chikasu, chomwe pambuyo pake chimakhala chobiriwira-chikasu. Ma pores ndi ofiira magazi (kapena ofiira lalanje), ang'onoang'ono, amasanduka abuluu akakanikizidwa. Spore ufa wa azitona-bulauni.
Tsinde la bowa limakula mpaka 15 cm kutalika, m'mimba mwake limafika 7 cm.
