Hi,

here is another Peziza which we are unsure about. It grew very numerously on sandy soil at approx. 700 m alt. I think it fits well with the description of P. acroornata in Nicolas's Pezizales de Rhône-Alpes but I would like to hear your opinion. The ascospores have some irregular cyanophilous ornamentation mainly present on the poles but sometimes distributed also further towards the middle. The ornamentation is rarely already seen in water (indicated with arrows on one photo). They measure about 20.8-22 x 11-12.2 µm and have a lateral gel sheath.

Thank you and best wishes,
Gernot
