Body undulating, Hymenium smooth purple/brown, with outer surface bright pale lavender/grey inrolled, - note in young state in photo as no spores evident. Culutured for three wks in back garden in flower pot! using the same base soil and checked again. Size: 20mm, clustered but separate when found.
Ascospores: (after 3 wks) 15.55 - 19.26 µm x 7.86 - 8.75 µm, verrocose warting in Cotton Blue only, repeated in Plaque Blue which showed additional two oil drops seemingly 100% of the time.
Paras/Asci: slightly longer paraphyses with asci at 194 - 272µm x 10.98 - 12.70 µm.
With many thanks Tony

Re : Pachyella celtica or something esle?
Dear Tony,
The true Peziza celtica is something clearly different.
Based on your data and pictures, I think your collection might belong to Malvipezia, around M. howsei or M. emileia.
I'm interested in studying this collection.

Hi Nicolas,
With thanks for your observations, glad I presented this to the forum as would have guessed wrongly. Happy to send material to you which is still growing in the garden! Please advise how you wish me to send this, in a dried state or hydrated sonmehow and I assume your contacts are within the members listing.
