Calbovista [SEP] Taxonomy
In her 1935 "Mycologia" article, American mycologist Elizabeth Eaton Morse noted the existence of an abundant and widely distributed puffball of the western United States that was commonly misidentified as "Calvatia sculpta", although it differed from that species in having extensively branched capillitial threads. The puffball had characteristics that aligned it with several other taxa. The peridium was similar to those of "Calvatia sculpta", "Calvatia caelata" (now known as "Calvatia bovista"), "Scleroderma flavidum", and "Scleroderma aurantium" (now "Scleroderma citrinum"); the rooting base was similar to "Bovistella"; and the structure of the capillitial threads reminiscent of "Bovista", "Bovistella", and "Mycenastrum". However, the new species had a unique combination of characteristics and did not fit neatly into any already-described genera.
