Further Information
| Notes (MWS) | A large and distinctive cup fungus which can be found commonly on calcareous substrates in the spring. The rather fragile fungus is pale buff on the outside and a rich brown inside, with a distinctive smell of chlorine bleach. It is more closely related to the morels than to Peziza. |
