About
Calostoma cinnabarinum, commonly known as the red slimy-stalked puffball, stalked puffball-in-aspic, or gelatinous stalked-puffball, is a species of gasteroid fungus in the family Sclerodermataceae. It is the type species of the genus Calostoma. Despite its appearance and common name, C. cinnabarinum is not related to the true puffballs, members of Podaxis, earthstars or stinkhorns. However, during its complex taxonomic history, it has variously been confused it with each of those groups, prior to the advent of molecular phylogenetics.
