The shape of the caps ranges from irregularly spherical to like an inverted cone, sometimes with a flattened top, and they measure long by in diameter. A cobwebby silvery-grey partial veil connects the cap to the stipe. The outer skin of the cap (the pellis) is lavender (mixed with tan in mature specimens) with a finely hairy texture.

The lobed leaves are up to 3 centimeters long and are located in a basal rosette at ground level and also on the lower part of the stem.
Granny De Spell, whose real name may be Caraldina De Spell, is the greatest witch in the world. She is the grandmother of Magica De Spell, and taught Magica sorcery when she was a child.

The partial veil may be membranous or cobwebby, and may have multiple layers. Various adjectives are commonly used to describe the texture of partial veils, such as: membranous, like a membrane; cottony, where the veil tissue is made of separate fibers that may be easily separated like a cotton ball; fibrillose, composed of thin strands and glutinous, with a slimy consistency. Some mushrooms have partial veils which are evanescent, which are so thin and delicate that they disappear after they rupture, or leave merely a faint trace on the stem known as an annular zone or ring zone. Others may leave a persistent annulus (ring).
One room in the house of her childhood was called "the little bookroom", Farjeon explains in the Author's Note.

"Seven maids with seven brooms, sweeping for half-a-hundred years, have never managed to clear my mind of its dust of vanished temples and flowers and kings, the curls of ladies, the sighing of poets, the laughter of lads and girls."Farjeon, "Author's Note", The Little Bookroom.
The specimens of Pulveroboletus bembae upon which the species description is based were collected in April, 2008 from three locations in Gabon: in Ogooue-Ivindo Province at the Ipassa-Makokou Research Station; in the Minkébé National Park near Minvoul, and in Bitouga, both locations in the northerly province of Woleu-Ntem. Until the report of this species and the related Pulveroboletus luteocarneus, 12 species of Pulveroboletus had been reported in tropical Africa. According to Degreef & De Kesel, who described the species in a 2009 publication, P. bembae belongs to the section Pulveroboletus of the genus Pulveroboletus. This section, defined by Singer in 1947, is characterized by the presence of a pulverulent-arachnoid veil (covered with fine, powdery wax granules and cobwebby) and fruit bodies that are sulphur-yellow, greenish, or yellowish-brown in color.
Eriocephalus africanus, showing lightly arachnoid leaves, and heavily arachnoid seed follicles. The arachnoid leaves of this Gazania are covered with a fragile cobwebby felt Hayworthia arachnoidea - inaccurately named the "cobweb aloe" - Its spidery appearance arises from the long denticles on its leaf margins Cephalocereus senilis is an example of a long-lasting, robust arachnoid effect created by modified spines Arachnoid as a descriptive term in botany, refers to organs such as leaves or stems that have an external appearance similar to cobwebs from being covered with fine white hairs, usually tangled. Such material is one common cause of plants having a grey or white appearance.Jackson, Benjamin, Daydon; A Glossary of Botanic Terms with their Derivation and Accent; Published by Gerald Duckworth & Co. London, 4th ed 1928 The usages of various authors in distinguishing between "arachnoid" and a few other terms referring to hairiness, such as floccose, pubescent, tomentum, cottony, or villous, tend to be arbitrary, but as a rule the term is best reserved for hairiness lighter than a felted layer, and inclined to rub off or to be easily damaged in other ways.
