Terfezia. Tirmania. Ulurua. The Pezizaceae (commonly referred to as cup fungi) are a family of fungi in the Ascomycota which produce mushrooms that tend to grow in the shape of a "cup". Spores are formed on the inner surface of the fruit body (ascoma). The cup shape typically serves to focus raindrops into splashing spores out of the cup.
Palamino Cup fungus in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.. Peziza varia can be identified by its growth on rotted wood or wood chips, its brown upper surface (at maturity) that is usually somewhat wrinkled near the center; a whitish and minutely fuzzy under surface; a round, cuplike shape when young, and a flattened-irregular shape when mature; attachment to the wood under the center of the mushroom ...
The fruit bodies of Peziza phyllogena are cup-shaped, measuring 3–8 cm (1.2–3.1 in) in diameter. The flesh is thin and fragile, and the sides of the cup are often compressed or lobed. The cups do not have a stem, and instead are attached to the substrate at a narrow central point on the bottom. The inner surface of the cup is dark purplish ...
Pezizaceae. Genus: Peziza. Species: P. vesiculosa. Binomial name. Peziza vesiculosa. Bull. (1790) Peziza vesiculosa, commonly known as the common dung cup, [1] is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pezizaceae .
Many species of mushrooms seemingly appear overnight, growing or expanding rapidly. This phenomenon is the source of several common expressions in the English language including "to mushroom" or "mushrooming" (expanding rapidly in size or scope) and "to pop up like a mushroom" (to appear unexpectedly and quickly).
Appearing in early spring, its distinctive goblet-shaped and dark-colored fruit bodies have earned it the common names crater cup, devil's urn and the gray urn. The asexual ( imperfect ), or conidial stage of U. craterium is a plant pathogen known as Conoplea globosa , which causes a canker disease of oak and several other hardwood tree species.
Aleuria aurantia. Aleuria aurantia (orange peel fungus) is a widespread ascomycete fungus in the order Pezizales. The bright orange, cup-shaped ascocarps often resemble orange peels strewn on the ground, [1] giving this species its common name.
The mushrooms are collected in August to early October, where they are traditionally salted or pickled. [18] [19] High consumption of the species may cause urine to discolor to orange or red. [20] At least one field guide holds Lactarius rubrilacteus in higher esteem. [18] It is widely collected in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Catalonia.
