Like all Leccinums, this mushroom has dark bristles (scabers) on the stalk, but the person who named it must have felt that these were unusually dark or dense (atrostipitatum = "dark-stemmed"). It can be told from the better-known Leccinum scabrum because its cap skin is a little redder and projects beyond the edge of the cap.
