There is no distinction, in Lycoperdon todayense Copel., sufficient to 
warrant a specific separation from the much described L. pusillum Batsch. 
The separation of the fertile gleba from the sterile base seems to be more 
or less constant in the Philippine material but is not a character of sufficient 
importance, all other things being equal, to warrant the creation of a new 
species.
