I recently found a collection of small Peziza sp.
Salut à tous,
I found this Peziza 28/3/2014 near an old fire site amongst mosses on rich stoney soil in the South of England:
Apothecia 30-40mm, without obvious stalk.
Ascospores 20.6 - 22.6 x 11.3 - 12.4, uninucleate, perfectly smooth in CB, germinating into conidiophores with 4-7 conidia.
Paraphyses clavate, cells more or less inflated, top cell with rather striking golden LBs.
Is this P.megalochondra?
Amitiés,
Nick
to me it looks like peziza granularis Donadini, which is not unusal to burnt ground. the curved, swollen paraphyses with yellow-brown content are typical ... but never seen these conidias.

Hi Dirk, Nicolas and everyone,
Sorry, I forgot to add this photo of the excipulum cells - They measure up to 110 µm (there were no layers of other cells).
Amitiés,
Nick
After a bit of research, I think Dirk's suggestion of Peziza granularis looks like a good fit....
