Calvatia booniana A. H. SM. (Lycoperdaceae) is recorded for the first time from Europe (Spain) and Asia (Iran and Nepal). Material from these countries is described and compared with the type collection from Oregon, U.S.A. That means the presence of a second species of “Giant Puffball” in Europe. The most important characters are illustrated by photographs with optic and SE microscope. Distribution and ecology of this and closely related species are compared.
