 Schweinitz assigned Bosc 's Lycoperdon heterogeneum to Mitremyces under the name M. lutescens in 1822 . He revisited the genus a decade later , describing M. cinnabarinum as a novel species , but incomplete descriptions and mislabelled specimens caused confusion . August Corda separated them more clearly , providing new descriptions , and assigning cinnabarinum to Calostoma based on the descriptions of Desvaux and Persoon , while maintaining lutescens in Mitremyces . George Massee 's 1888 monograph of Calostoma discounted the distinction entirely , arguing that Schweinitz 's two species were actually the same species at different stages of development . In 1897 , Charles Edward <unk> published a new description of C. lutescens , making a clear division between the two similar species that has not been substantially revised since . References to this species as " C. cinnabarina " are common but incorrect .
