This species has a salmon pink to cinnabar-orange indusium, a dark olivaceous brown gleba that covers a reticulate, perforate head, and a dark greyish brown volva. It is similar to D. indusiata which always has a pure white volva. One variety of the latter, D. indusiata var. rosea from Java may be similar to the Hawaiian species, but more information is needed on volva pigmentation before a determination can be made. Dictyophora cinnabarina is common on lawns in the Hilo area of Hawai`i.
