Pāpale: he ʻano poepoe ka pāpale, ʻano kaumaha ma ka ʻaoʻao waena. ʻO ke anawaena o ka pāpale mai 5 a 15 cm. Ma lalo o nā kūlana kūpono, hiki i ka pāpale ke hiki i 20 cm ke anawaena. He ʻulaʻula melemele ka ʻili o ka pāpale. ʻO ka ʻili holoʻokoʻa o ka pāpale, ʻoi aku ka nui ma ka ʻaoʻao waena, ua uhi ʻia me nā unahi ʻeleʻele liʻiliʻi i kaomi ʻia. Hana ʻia kēia mau unahi i kahi ʻano symmetrical ma ka pāpale. I loko o nā halo oʻo, ʻaʻole ʻike nui ʻia kēia ʻano hoʻohālikelike.
Pulp i loko o ka pāpale he elastic loa, rubbery, keʻokeʻo. I ka wā pulu, lilo ka ʻiʻo i ka wai. He ʻala ʻoluʻolu māmā a ʻaʻohe ona ʻono kūikawā.
ʻĀpana tubular: ʻO ka papa tubular e iho ana he ʻano radial i hana ʻia e nā pores elongated. ʻAʻole pinepine nā pores, ʻoi aku ka nui, a inā mākou e noʻonoʻo i nā hiʻohiʻona maʻamau o nā haʻi liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe, a laila nui wale nā pores.
Pauda Spore: keʻokeʻo.
Wāwae: he kumu cylindrical, ma ke ʻano he lula, aia i waenakonu o ka pāpale. Ma ke kumu, hoʻomāhuahua iki ka ʻōpala, ʻāwili pinepine. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka wāwae a hiki i 7 cm. I kekahi manawa hiki i ka wāwae ke 10 cm ka lōʻihi. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa o ka wāwae ma mua o 1,5 cm. He ʻulaʻula ka ʻili o nā wāwae. ʻO ka ʻiʻo i loko o ka wāwae he paʻakikī loa, fibrous. ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona nui o kēia haʻuki ʻo ia ma ke kumu o ke kumu hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa pinepine i nā kaula ikaika e hoʻoponopono ai i ka haʻiki i kahi substrate lāʻau, ʻo ia hoʻi, ma ke kumu.
Hoʻomaka ʻo Tuberous Trutovik mai ka hopena o ka puna i ke kauwela a hiki i ka waena o Kepakemapa. Ke ulu nei ia ma ke koena o nā lāʻau deciduous. Makemake ʻo ia i ka linden a me nā ʻano like ʻole.
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona nui o Trutovik kona pores nui a me ka wāwae waena. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka ʻuʻu Trutovik ma muli o ka liʻiliʻi o kona mau kino hua. Wahi a nā kino hua, ʻokoʻa ka Tuberous Trutovik mai ka Scaly Trutovik kokoke iā ia. Hoʻokaʻawale ke ʻano scaly symmetrical ma ka pāpale mai ka haʻiki ʻo Variable Tinder haʻahaʻa. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i ka genus Polyporus nā ʻano ʻano he nui, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i kahi ʻano nui o nā ʻano like ʻole.
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Tuberous tinder fungus he halo ʻai, akā ʻaʻole i ʻawaʻawa a ʻaʻole ʻona. Hiki paha ke kuke ʻia i kekahi ʻano, no laila ʻaʻole i manaʻo ke kanaka e hoʻāʻo ana ʻo ia e ʻai iā Trutovik.
