They are the among the most popular of edible wild mushrooms. They are orange, yellow or white, meaty and funnel-shaped.

Boletus abruptibulbus is known only from the Gulf Coast of the Florida Panhandle, where fruiting occurs on older sand dunes, particularly in areas where the habit changes from coastal scrub to oak-pine woods. This latter habitat is characterized by the presence of the tree species Sand Live Oak ("Quercus geminata"), Myrtle Oak ("Q. myrtifolia"), and Sand Pine ("Pinus clausa"). Fruiting occurs from December to March. "Boletus abruptibulbus" is one of only three North American Boletaceae species that occur in coastal sand dunes; the others are "Leccinum arenicola", found in New Brunswick, Canada, and "Phylloporus arenicola", described from Oregon.
