Chophimba cha bowa lathyathyathya chimafika masentimita 40 m'lifupi, chimakhala chathyathyathya pamwamba ndi ma grooves osagwirizana, ndipo chimakutidwa ndi kutumphuka kwa matte. Nthawi zambiri amapezeka pamwamba ndi dzimbiri-bulauni spore ufa. Mtundu wa kapu umapezeka kuchokera ku imvi zofiirira mpaka zofiirira, pali m'mphepete kunja, komwe kumakula mosalekeza, koyera kapena koyera.
Spores - Kufalikira kwa spores kuzungulira kumakhala kochuluka kwambiri, ufa wa spore ndi wofiirira-bulauni. Iwo ali ndi mawonekedwe ovoid odulidwa. Mbali ya zipatso za bowa zomwe zimakhala ndi spore powder (hymenophore) zimakhala zoyera, zoyera kapena zoyera. Ndi kukakamizidwa pang'ono, nthawi yomweyo kumakhala mdima kwambiri, chizindikiro ichi chinapatsa bowa dzina lapadera "bowa wa ojambula". Mukhoza kujambula pa wosanjikiza ndi mphukira kapena ndodo.
Mwendo - nthawi zambiri kulibe, nthawi zina nthawi zambiri samabwera ndi mwendo waufupi wam'mbali.
Zamkati mwake ndi zolimba, zokokera kapena zokhotakhota, ngati zathyoka, zimakhala zofewa mkati mwake. Mtundu wa bulauni, bulauni wa chokoleti, chestnut ndi mithunzi ina yamitundu iyi. Bowa akale amakhala ndi mawanga ofota.
Thupi la fruiting la bowa limakhala zaka zambiri, lokhazikika. Nthawi zina amakhala pafupi ndi mzake.
Kugawa - kumamera paliponse pazitsa ndi mitengo yakufa ya mitengo yophukira, yomwe nthawi zambiri imakhala yotsika. Wowononga Wood! Kumene bowa amamera, pamakhala kuvunda kwa nkhuni zoyera kapena zachikasu zoyera. Nthawi zina amawononga wofooka mitengo deciduous (makamaka birch) ndi softwood. Imakula makamaka kuyambira May mpaka September. Amagawidwa kwambiri kumadera otentha a kumpoto kwa dziko lapansi.
Edibility - bowa sungadyedwe, mnofu wake ndi wolimba ndipo ulibe kukoma kokoma.
