≡ Bovista section Xyloperdon Kreisel, Beih. Nova Hedwigia 25: 222 (1967)

Diagnosis:—Basidiome small, ovoid, with mycelial cords; subgleba absent; capillitium of the Lycoperdon - type; spores smooth to minutely pustulose-verrucose, without debris of broken sterigmata; on moss covering tree trunks, logs and rocks.

Type:— Lycoperdon acuminatum Bosc

Etymology:—From the Greek words βρύον (bryon, referring to the moss) and περδεσθαι (perdesthai, meaning to break wind, and referring to Lycoperdon ), and thus referring to the association of this puffball with moss.
