Imizimba yezithelo ye-postia eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-grey iqukethe ikepisi nesiqu. Umlenze mncane kakhulu, uyanyakaza, kanti umzimba othela izithelo unomumo oyingxenye. I-postia eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-grey ibonakala ngengxenye ebanzi ye-prostrate, eyinyama nesakhiwo esithambile.
Isigqoko simhlophe phezulu, sinamachashaza amancane aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngendlela yamachashaza. Uma ucindezela kanzima ebusweni bomzimba we-fruiting, khona-ke inyama ishintsha umbala wayo ukuze ibe namandla kakhulu. Emakhowe angakavuthwa, isikhumba simbozwe ngomphetho ngendlela yama-bristles, kodwa njengoba amakhowe evuthwa, iba ngenalutho. I-pulp yamakhowe yalolu hlobo ithambile kakhulu, imhlophe ngombala, ngaphansi kwethonya lomoya iba luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, okuluhlaza okotshani noma okumpunga. Ukunambitheka kwe-bluish-grey postia akunangqondo, inyama ibonakala ngephunga elimnandi elingabonakali.
I-hymenophore yesikhunta imelelwa uhlobo lwe-tubular, inombala ompunga, oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma omhlophe, oba namandla kakhulu futhi ogcwele ngaphansi kwesenzo somshini. Ama-pores abonakala nge-angularity yawo nobukhulu obukhulu, futhi kumakhowe avuthiwe athola isimo esingavamile. Amashubhu e-hymenophore made, anemiphetho ejijekile futhi engalingani kakhulu. Ekuqaleni, umbala wamashubhu uba mhlophe, bese uba fawn nge-tint bluish. Uma ucindezela phezu kwe-tube, umbala wayo uyashintsha, ube mnyama ube bluish-grey.
Ubude be-cap ye-bluish-gray postia buyahlukahluka phakathi kwama-cm angu-6, futhi ububanzi bawo buyi-3-4 cm. Kumakhowe anjalo, i-cap ivame ukukhula kanye nomlenze emaceleni, inomumo onjenge-fan, imbozwe nge-villi ebonakalayo phezulu, futhi i-fibrous. Umbala wekepisi lamakhowe uvame ukuba mpunga-oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kwesinye isikhathi ulula emaphethelweni, unama-tints aphuzi.
Ungahlangana ne-postia eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ephuzi ehlobo nasekwindla (phakathi kukaJulayi noNovemba), ikakhulukazi eziqwini zezihlahla ezivuthulukayo nezingama-coniferous, eziqwini zezihlahla nasemagatsheni afile. Isikhunta sitholakala kaningi, ikakhulukazi emaqenjini amancane. Ungabona i-postia eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka-grey okhunini olufayo lwe-willow, i-alder, i-hazel, i-beech, i-fir, i-spruce ne-larch.
Azikho izinto ezinobuthi nezinobuthi emizimbeni ethela izithelo ye-Postia bluish-grey, nokho, lolu hlobo lwamakhowe lunzima kakhulu, abaningi abacosha amakhowe bathi awadleki.
Ekukhuleni kwamakhowe, kuyaziwa izinhlobo ezimbalwa ezisondelene ezinoqwembe olumpunga okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ezihlukene nge-ecology kanye nezici ezithile ezincane. Isibonelo, i-Postia bluish-gray inomehluko wokuthi imizimba ethelayo yesikhunta ayijiki ibe luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka uma ithintwa. Ungakwazi futhi ukudida leli mushroom nge-alder postia. Yiqiniso, lokhu okugcina kuhluke endaweni yayo yokukhula, futhi kutholakala ikakhulukazi esikhungweni se-alder.
