Beauty in trash

I found this beautiful cup 25.6 on a place where people throw their garden waste.
So the soil must be rich.
It was then too young to have spores. I returned there and found a couple allready enjoyed ones... They are about 1 cm wide.,
They had some mature spores, which were somehow warted, about 18-21x8-9.
The paraphyses had a bit swollen tops and were septate and carried some droplets or bubbles. Asci were about 300x15 and IKI blue.
Can this be a Peziza species?

Re : Beauty in trash
Hi Marja,
can you provide some closeups of the paraphyses tips and stained pictures of the spores?

Martin

Hi Marja,
I think that's Peziza michelii .

Re : Beauty in trash
I know well Peziza michelii and I can say this is not this species. To help Marja, we need to see spore ornamentation in blue cotton...

Re : Beauty in trash
Hi, Marja,
could you explain the "trash" a bit more in detail? Did the fungi grow, perhaps, on rotten twigs and/or leaves of Cupressaceae (Thuja, Juniperus etc.). In this case it could well be Peziza epixyla in the sense I described it in Mycologia Bavarica 10, 2008. Our colleague Inge Rößl has just found the species again near Bad Reichenhall in Bavaria, again on remains of Thuja in a heap of "garden trash". She also confirmed the observation that the blue/violet colour of the fresh fungus rapidly disappears, giving way to a dull purplish-grey tint.
The spores in our first collection were a bit longer, but the width fits well.
Best regards

Re : Beauty in trash
Hi,
I tried to colour the spores, but with no success. Either my equipments (self made CB and old microscope) or my skills are poor. I do not use CB often, because I don't like using poisons.
Anyway I found some longer spores 22-25.
I thought these grew on soil, but there were lots of plant and woody waiste around so it is possible that under the forming soil was some wood - propably Salix, because there were loads of cut branches around.
No Thuja still I suppose, because it is not natural here. Juniperus may be possible.
Peziza epixyla? seems a very, very interesting determination for this...
