 All of these species feature darkly-amyloid flesh and thick-walled cystidia.Based on this analysis, Miller considered "C. jamaicensis" to be insufficiently distinct genetically from "C. vinicolor" to warrant designation as a separate species; however, as of 2012, both MycoBank and Index Fungorum list it as a valid species.The specific epithet "vinicolor" means "wine-colored".
