Described from Australia by Kreisel 1967. Is similar to B. furfuracea but differs in minor characters of the capillitium. Also ressembling B. aestivalis. Well documented holotype collection https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/1135811071. No sequence data available from the holotype nor from more recent records in Australia. Has subsequently been recorded from Spain and South America. A taxonomic review is needed to resolve the taxonomically difficult group around B. aestvalis/furfuracea.

The definition of Bovista cunninghamii is currently ambiguous and awaits a taxonomic revision with a global scope. Dry grassland species. Redlist evaluation is not possible based on current knowledge, thus: NE

Ambiguous distribution records. Species concepts need to be resolved.

Now conclusions can be drawn.

Warm and sandy habitats; also reported from dry Mediterranean woodland.

Taxonomic revision of the small Bovista-species, generating of type sequence data and potential epitypfictaions are needed to understand the species limits, distributions and species diversity.
