This species is closely related to Chroogomphus fulmineus, but produces larger fruit bodies with generally duller colours, a deep yolk-yellow trama and an olivaceous stipe base. Microscopically, it has more narrow cystidia (av. range 13.8–14.8 μm) than C. fulmineus and broader spores (av. range 17.5–21.6 × 6.4–7.7 μm).
It is so far known from the island of Cyprus, Finland, and the United Kingdom.
