Amoenoboletus mcrobbii is a small, endemic New Zealand bolete distinguished by its olive to yellow‑brown, scaly cap, dark red pores, yellow tubes, and non‑staining flesh, occurring strictly with Nothofagus forests.

Pileus: 20-45 mm diam., convex. Dry, finely felted to subtomentose when young. At maturity becoming coarsely fibrillose-scaly as the cuticle ruptures. Olive at first; rupturing exposes yellowish-brown to reddish context beneath. Cuticle a disorganised cutis; scales composed of septate hyphae 4-7 µm wide with brownish contents. Margin entire to slightly crenulate-lacerate, extending beyond the pores.
Hymenophore: Tubes 6-10 mm long, deeply excavated around the stipe apex. Tubes yellow. Pores dark red, angular, 0.5-1 mm wide; pore colour matches the stipe apex.
Stipe: 30-55 mm long. Apex dark red, concolorous with pores. Lower stipe paler; ornamentation furfuraceous squamules.
Flesh: Pale; context unchanging when bruised (a key genus character).
Basionym: Xerocomus mcrobbii McNabb 1968.
