Calvatia Lachnoderma
''Calvatia'' is a genus of puffball mushrooms that includes the giant puffball Calvatia gigantea, ''C. gigantea''. It was formerly classified within the now-obsolete order Lycoperdales, which, following a restructuring of fungal taxonomy brought about by molecular phylogenetics, molecular phylogeny, has been split; the puffballs, ''Calvatia spp.'' are now placed in the family Lycoperdaceae of the order Agaricales. Most species in the genus ''Calvatia'' are edible mushroom, edible when young, though some are best avoided, such as ''Calvatia fumosa'', which has a very pungent odor. The name ''Calvatia'' derives from the Latin ''calvus'' meaning "bald" and ''calvaria'', meaning "dome of the skull". Taxonomy ''Calvatia'' was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1849. Fries included a single species in the genus, ''Calvatia craniiformis'', which was originally described as ''Bovista craniiformis'' by Lewis David de Schweinitz in ...

Calvatia Craniiformis
''Calvatia craniiformis'', commonly known as the brain puffball or the skull-shaped puffball, is a species of puffball fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It is found in Asia, Australia, and North America, where it grows on the ground in open woods. Its name, derived from the same Latin root as ''cranium'', alludes to its resemblance to an animal's brain. The skull-shaped basidiocarp, fruit body is broad by tall and white to tan. Initially smooth, the skin (peridium) develops wrinkles and folds as it matures, cracking and flaking with age. The peridium eventually sloughs away, exposing a powdery yellow-brown to greenish-yellow spore mass (the gleba). The puffball is edible mushroom, edible when the gleba is still white and firm, before it matures to become yellow-brown and powdery. Mature specimens have been used in the traditional or folk medicines of China, Japan, and the Ojibwe as a hemostatic or wound dressing agent. Several bioactivity, bioactive compounds have been isolated ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
