“…As regards its general ecology, C. craniiformis has been recorded from open grounds and meadows in India [6], [7]. [3] noted that in the USA, the habitat of C. craniiformis was terrestrial with the fungus occurring in open areas, meadows, disturbed areas or in native habitats under Desert Willow (Chilopsis linearis), Mesquite (Prosopis spp., Fabaceae), Oak (Quercus spp., Fagaceae), Pinyon Pine (Pinus edulis, Pinaceae), Juniper (Juniperus spp., Pinaceae) or Sage Brush (Artemisia sp., Asteraceae).…”

“…ex De Toni (1849) (Basidiomycota: Agaricaceae) is a distinctive and bizarrely shaped fungus which has been detected in many countries, e.g. USA [1], [2] , [3], Mexico [4], Japan [3], [5] India [6], [7] Indonesia [8] Malaysia [9] South Korea [10] and China [9] indicating a widespread distribution in the northern hemisphere, except for Australia [9]. It is commonly known as the Brain Puffball or Skull Puffball because of the strange morphology of the basidiocarps and hence the scientific epithet [9] (see Figs.…”

In this note, the brain fungus, Calvatia craniiformis (Schwein.) Fr. ex De Toni (1849) (Basidiomycota: Agaricaceae) is recorded from Shale Sandstone Transitional Forest (SSTF) at Maraylya, New South Wales, Australia. The fungus was represented by three basidiocarps in two clusters of two and one fungal body pushing through leaf litter on the side of a rarely used four wheel drive track on private property. The vegetation of the site is described. A brief comparative review is provided on the biology and human use of the fungus in other countries where it occurs, viz. USA and India.

“…indexfungorum.org as cited in Hedawoo, 2020). Verma et al (2018) recently gave account of mushrooms belonging to the genus Calvatia including C. cyathiformis. Most species are edible when young, e.g., Calvatia gigantean (Batsch) Lloyd (giant puffball) and Calvatia utriformis (Bovistella utriformis (Bull.)…”

“…The exosporium breaks into flakes and falls away revealing the endosporium that gradually breaks to expose the basidiospore. In the case of C. cyathiformis the basidiocarp is pear-shaped pinkish to purple in colour producing copious spores (estimated at 6 -7 trillion spores) which besmear the basidiocarp and later the spores turn brownish in colour (Alexopoulos et al, 1996;Aneja & Mehrotra, 2011;Verma et al, 2018).…”

Calvatia and Lycoperdon belong to the Gasteromycetes commonly called gasteroid fungi or puffballs. Their basidiospores are kept in a stomach-like glebal and spores are not discharged forcibly. An account of diagnostic characters, developmental morphology, anatomical features, and fairy ring formation of Calvatia cyathiformis and Lycoperdon sp. are presented during three (3) years (2017 – 2020) study. C. cyathiformis has epigeous habit on the grass lawn appearing after 2 – 3 weeks as a small whitish button and changed colour to cream and finally pinkish to purple at maturity. The basidiocarp was ball-shaped becoming two chambered with basal portion distinct from the upper. This fungus formed a complete circle fairy ring with a striking greening of the grass along the periphery of the circle where the basidiomata emerged. Lycoperdon sp. produced basidiocarp which was also epigeous and matured within 2-3 weeks. The basidiocarp was initially greyish white maturing into brownish colour. Lycoperdon sp. formed a semi-circle fairy ring without change in the grass colour for three consecutive years. Although fairy rings have been formed by other Lycoperdon sp. these present findings of semi-circle fairy ring formation is being recorded for the first time in Ghana.

“…On the other hand both species are treated as independent by Trierveiler-Pereira &Baseia (2009) in Brazil Cortez et al (2012). consider this species a synonym of C. cyathiformis but other authors differ and consider C. cyathiformis as a different species(Verma et al 2018).…”

Based on the available literature, a list of 40 gasteroid species recorded in Paraguay since the earliest known collection is presented. A total of forty species are reported, distributed among 16 genera and 4 families. This work represents the first compilation of data available on this group of fungi for Paraguay. These numbers reveal the scarce amount of species formally cited for the Paraguayan Funga.
