 Another nearly identical species is "C. jamaicensis", found in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and the Greater Antilles.It is distinguished microscopically by its slightly smaller spores measuring 17–20 by 4.5–6 μm, cystidia with more uniformly thickened walls up to 5 μm thick, and cuticular hyphae that measure 2–5 μm wide.The fruit bodies of "C. pseudovinicolor" are more robust, with wooly or scaly reddish stems up to thick.
