GENUS CALVATIA The Calvaiias are puffballs of large size, all with thick cord- like mycelium rooting from the base. They all eject their spores through irregular openings in the upper part of the peridium, and they all have a dense network of branching threads (capillitium) traversing the tissues ofthespore- bearingpor- t i o n, the gleba. These threads are elastic, and project the spores from the rind or case as they twist and turn. The sterile portion, the subgleba, is definitely limited and concave Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Marshall, Nina L.
