(Mont. & Berk.) Henn. 1904
Another species where the mycologists don't seem to be able to make up their minds has traditionally been known as Calvatia cyathiformis, yet in the past few years I have seen it called C. candida, and C. retis has also been mentioned, and now C. lilacina. I wish the mycologists would make up their minds.
