摘要：Calvatia lachnoderma was described by Patouillard in 1907 based on material collected by P.F. Noack, in the State of São Paulo, southeast Brazil. The species was not considered in accounts of gasteroid fungi from Brazil, nor in recent monographs on the genus. We examined type material from Farlow Herbarium and concluded that it is a good species in the genus, based mostly on peridium texture, basidiospore size/shape and ornamentation under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The holotype is the only available material. A description of the microscopic features is provided, as well as SEM analysis of the basidiospores and brief taxonomic discussion.
