Peziza arvernensis
Peziza arvernensis, commonly known as the boring brown cup fungus or fairy tub, is a species of apothecial fungus belonging to the family Pezizaceae. The ascocarps appear as cups, growing up to 8 cm (3+1⁄8 in) across. Their exterior is pale tan and the interior is brown. Peziza vesiculosa and P. violacea are similar, young specimens of the latter having a violet hue.
This species often appears in small groups on soil in broad-leaved woodland, especially with beech. It is widespread in Europe with a few records from North and South America.
