An emendation and preliminary survey of the genus Calvatia (Gasteromycetidae)

Abstract

The gasteromycetous genus Calvatia is enlarged to include Langermannia, Lanopila (Lasiosphaera), Hypoblema, and Gastropila, but Calbovista, and Handkea remain separate. 35 species of Calvatia are enumerated and arranged in eight sections. On species rank, six new combinations and one nomen novum are proposed.
