stalked puffball การใช้
- Species in the genus are commonly known as stalkballs, or stalked puffballs.
- Historically, it had been assumed to be saprobic, due to its taxonomic uncertainly, and presumed relatedness to other saprobic fungi like the stalked puffballs and the earthstars.
- Despite its appearance and common name, " C . cinnabarinum " is not related to the true puffballs or to species in the genus " Podaxis " ( also commonly called " stalked puffballs " ).
- Using the species " C . cinnabarinum " and " C . ravenelli " as representative examples, the research showed the genus evolutionarily related to the monophyletic Boletales clade, and separate from clades containing most of the gilled mushrooms, puffballs, stalked puffballs, earthstars, stinkhorns and non-bolete Gasteromycetes . " Calostoma " belongs to the suborder Sclerodermatineae in the Boletales order.
