Calbovista is a fungal genus containing the single species Calbovista subsculpta, commonly known as the sculptured puffball, sculptured giant puffball, and warted giant puffball. Although originally described as new to science by Elizabeth Eaton Morse in 1935, the species was not published validly until 60 years later. The species is named for its resemblance to Calvatia sculpta.
