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 ...
Pezizaceae. 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.
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 ...
The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence, the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap.
Edible mushroom. White mushrooms and enoki mushrooms are some of the most common edible mushrooms, commonly sold in stores. Edible mushrooms are the fleshy fruit bodies of several species of macrofungi (fungi that bear fruiting structures large enough to be seen with the naked eye). Edibility may be defined by criteria including the absence of ...
A bisected immature specimen with cup not yet opened. The goblet-shaped fruit body (technically an ascocarp) is 3–4 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) in diameter and 4–6 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) deep; initially it is closed, but opens as it matures, leaving a ragged or smooth inrolled margin around a round opening.

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.
Sarcoscypha coccinea. (Scop.) Lambotte (1889) Sarcoscypha coccinea, commonly known as the scarlet elf cup, or the scarlet cup, is a species of fungus in the family Sarcoscyphaceae of the order Pezizales. The fungus, widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, has been found in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, and Australia.
