A recently described puffball from northeastern Brazil, named by Baseia's group, who work on gasteroid fungi of the Atlantic Forest and semi-arid northeast. GBIF also lists Australian records, which probably belong to other species. Nothing is published on cultivation.

Where it grows wild

The Brazilian records are in the semi-arid and coastal northeast (Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará); fruiting is presumably on soil in open ground or dry forest.

Few records carry an elevation; none can be given.
